1. Accounts
You must give accurate information, keep your credentials and API secrets confidential, and are responsible for all activity under your account and API keys. Tell us promptly at support@macathystream.com if you suspect unauthorized use. You must be at least 18 years old to open an account.
2. Your applications and end users
You may use the Service to build applications that let your own end users stream, watch and record video.

We do not use Content to train models or for advertising.
4. Retention and deletion
Recordings and clips are kept for the retention period set on your project, then deleted automatically. You can delete Content at any time through the API or dashboard. Deleted Content may remain in backups or caches for a short period before it is gone.

We may suspend paid features for unpaid invoices after notice. We will give at least 30 days’ notice of price increases.
6. Acceptable use and enforcement
You must follow the Acceptable Use Policy. We may remove Content, revoke keys, end live streams, or suspend accounts that violate it or that put the Service, other customers or the public at risk, and will notify you where appropriate. We respond to copyright notices under our DMCA policy.
7. Availability and changes
We work to keep the Service available but do not guarantee it will be uninterrupted or error-free.
