OWENTANDO owns or licenses its branding, website design, original productions and promotional assets. Other films, music, images, performances and programmes belong to their respective rights holders.
2. Viewing is not a reproduction licence
Platform access allows lawful viewing through the provided player. It does not permit downloading, copying, recording, reposting, rebroadcasting, selling, editing or commercially exploiting a work unless the rights holder or applicable law expressly permits it.
3. Creator responsibility
A creator must have appropriate rights and releases for every element of submitted content, including scripts, music, archive footage, photographs, graphics, performances, locations and identifiable people. Uploading a link or file is a confirmation that distribution and promotion through OWENTANDO are authorised. See the Creator Terms.

We may request more information, notify the affected creator, temporarily restrict access, preserve relevant records and remove material when reasonably supported by the evidence or required by law. Submitting a report does not guarantee removal. False, abusive or misleading reports may be rejected.
6. Creator response
A creator who disputes a complaint should provide proof of ownership, licences, releases or another lawful basis for use. OWENTANDO may keep the content unavailable while a genuine dispute remains unresolved and may require the parties to resolve the matter directly or through an appropriate legal process.
