01 / The agreement
Acceptance and eligibility
Acceptance by use. By accessing or using Film Plotter, you agree to be bound by these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree with them, please do not use the website. These terms apply to visitors using Film Plotter’s publicly available pages, editorial material and site features.
Film Plotter may publish an updated version of these terms from time to time. Your continued use of the website after an updated version takes effect means that your use is subject to the then-current terms displayed on this page.
Lawful and responsible access. You must use Film Plotter lawfully and in a way that does not harm, disrupt or unreasonably restrict access for other visitors. You must not attempt to interfere with the website’s operation, security, systems or availability, including by trying to gain unauthorised access or by using the site in a manner that places an unreasonable burden on it.
02 / The archive
Editorial service and no gambling services
Film Plotter is an editorial film-information portal focused on movies involving casinos, poker, roulette, card rooms and casino culture. We publish reviews, detailed plot summaries, character profiles, behind-the-scenes facts, thematic articles and curated collections to support film discovery and research. Our material is commentary and information about cinema; it is not a promise that every title, category or reference will always be available.
Editorial discretion. Film Plotter may organise, update, correct, remove or change editorial material and site features where appropriate. This can include categories, summaries, reviews, collections and reference information. We may make those changes without prior notice as part of maintaining a useful and accurate archive where practicable.
03 / Visitor conduct
Acceptable use
Personal, lawful use. You may view, search and use Film Plotter for personal, non-commercial informational purposes, subject to these terms. You may ordinarily share links to publicly available Film Plotter pages. Permission to access the website does not transfer ownership of any editorial content, design, organisation or other protected material.
Actions not permitted. When using the website, you must not:
- copy, reproduce, republish or commercially exploit Film Plotter material beyond what applicable law permits;
- scrape, crawl, harvest or systematically extract content or data without permission;
- reverse engineer, probe, bypass or attempt to defeat site security or access controls;
- introduce malicious code, harmful files or any material intended to damage or interfere with the website;
- overload, disrupt or impair the service, its infrastructure or access for other visitors; or
- use Film Plotter for an unlawful purpose or in a way that breaches another person’s rights.
These restrictions are intended to protect the archive, its visitors and the ordinary operation of Film Plotter. They do not limit any rights you may have under applicable law.
04 / Rights and references
Intellectual property and third-party material
Film Plotter editorial content. Film Plotter’s original writing, editorial organisation, selection, design and other original site content are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws. Except where applicable law allows otherwise, you must not reproduce, adapt, distribute, publicly display or commercially use protected Film Plotter material without permission. This statement applies to Film Plotter’s original work and does not claim ownership over all material that may be referenced on the website.
Film Plotter may also present original summaries, analysis and research in connection with films. Access to that material is for the personal, non-commercial use described in these terms and does not grant a licence to reuse it beyond rights available under law.
Permission and rights concerns. For a question or concern about rights-related material, contact [email protected]. Please identify the relevant Film Plotter page or material and explain the nature of your concern so that it can be considered in context.
05 / Limits of the record
Accuracy, external links and availability
Film Plotter aims to present useful film information, but we do not guarantee that all material is complete, current, error-free or suitable for every purpose. Reviews, plot summaries, character profiles, facts and collection descriptions may be revised as information changes or editorial work develops. If information is important to you, please independently verify it before relying on it.
Editorial interpretation can also vary. A synopsis, thematic reading or review verdict represents Film Plotter’s editorial approach at the time it is published or updated, rather than a guarantee of universal agreement or a substitute for your own assessment.
External links
Links to third-party websites may be provided for convenience or context. Film Plotter does not control the content, availability, practices or policies of those destinations. A link does not necessarily indicate endorsement, recommendation or affiliation. Before using an external service, review its own terms, privacy information and other policies that may apply to your visit.
Service availability
Film Plotter may modify, suspend or discontinue any part of the website at any time. We do not guarantee uninterrupted, secure or error-free access. Maintenance, technical issues, network conditions and circumstances beyond reasonable control can affect availability, even where we seek to keep the portal accessible.
06 / Responsibility
Liability and indemnity
Indemnity for misuse. To the extent permitted by applicable law, you agree to indemnify Film Plotter against claims, losses, damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses arising from your breach of these terms or your unlawful misuse of the website. This obligation is limited to matters connected with your own conduct and operates only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
