Meridian · Terms, Disclaimers, and Notices

Full-length reference — plain-language version
Effective: 2026-09-01 Version: 1.0 Jurisdiction: United States
This document is the long form of the same disclaimer that appears every time you enter Meridian. It exists so anyone with a serious question — a viewer, a parent, a school administrator, a lawyer — can read the whole thing in one place, at any time, without being under time pressure.

01What Meridian is

Meridian is a personal, single-operator web application maintained by an individual on the thewebsite.dev domain. It provides a browsing interface for movie and television metadata sourced from The Movie Database (TMDB), a widely used public film-information API, and displays video embeds hosted by independent third-party providers.

Meridian does not host, upload, cache, transcode, or store any video, audio, or subtitle content on any server it operates. Video playback happens entirely between the viewer's browser and the third-party embed provider.

02Nature of the service

Meridian is a private tool intended for personal use by the operator and a small number of invited viewers, gated behind a rotating password. It is not a public streaming service. It is not indexed by search engines, it does not advertise, and it does not solicit users.

  • The interface layer (browsing, search, chat, settings) is built and maintained by the operator
  • Metadata (titles, posters, cast, ratings, release dates) is fetched live from TMDB and belongs to TMDB and the underlying rights holders
  • Video playback is delegated to third-party embed URLs; the operator has no control over what those providers serve, how they serve it, or what advertisements they attach

03Third-party content and providers

Meridian embeds video from vidfast.vc (and may reference other providers in future updates). These providers are independent commercial entities. The operator has:

  • No affiliation with any embed provider
  • No control over the content they serve or the ads they display
  • No ability to remove, replace, or modify anything a provider chooses to show
  • No access to any user's playback data on those providers

If you have a rights or safety concern about content served by an embed provider, that concern should be directed to the provider directly, not to Meridian. The operator cannot act on such a request because the content is not stored on any Meridian-controlled system.

04User responsibilities

By using Meridian, you agree that:

  • You are of the legal age required in your jurisdiction to view the content you request
  • You are solely responsible for whether your access complies with the laws of your country, state, province, or region
  • You are solely responsible for whether your access complies with the acceptable-use policy of the device you're using and the network you're on (school, workplace, library, family)
  • You will not attempt to abuse, overload, deface, or reverse engineer the interface
  • You will not use the chat feature to harass, threaten, or target anyone

05Disclaimer of warranties

The service is provided "as is" and "as available", without warranty of any kind, express or implied. The operator specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, uninterrupted access, freedom from error, and freedom from malicious content. Video quality, playback reliability, and availability of any particular title depend entirely on third-party providers and may change or disappear without notice.

06Limitation of liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, the operator will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages arising from your use of, or inability to use, this service. This includes but is not limited to:

  • Any disciplinary action from a school, workplace, employer, or guardian
  • Detention, suspension, expulsion, or academic penalty of any kind
  • Violation of any acceptable-use policy, whether written or unwritten
  • Being flagged by network filters, IT monitoring software, or safety-monitoring services (including but not limited to Securly, GoGuardian, Lightspeed, Impero, Bark, Gaggle, Linewize, Cisco Umbrella, Palo Alto, Fortinet)
  • Confiscation, reformatting, wiping, or restriction of any device
  • Loss of Wi-Fi, VPN, cellular, or other network privileges
  • Any legal exposure arising from the viewer's own actions or jurisdiction
  • Any malware, credential compromise, or account takeover resulting from third-party ad networks
  • Loss of data, loss of use, loss of profits, or business interruption
  • Emotional distress, reputational damage, or interpersonal fallout of any kind

07Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless the operator against any claims, demands, actions, losses, or expenses arising from your use of Meridian, your violation of these terms, or your violation of any applicable law or third-party right.

08Copyright and trademarks

All film titles, television series, character names, artwork, posters, backdrops, logos, and related trademarks displayed within Meridian are the property of their respective owners. Meridian claims no ownership of and asserts no rights over any of this material.

Meridian does not host copyrighted material. If you believe a third-party embed provider is serving infringing content, please contact that provider directly. The operator cannot process DMCA takedown requests against material it does not host.

For questions specifically about the interface itself (the code, the look, the copy), you may contact [email protected].

09Data collected and stored

Meridian collects and stores the following, entirely within your own browser (nothing is transmitted to the operator's server except where noted):

  • A signed session cookie proving you passed the password gate. Valid 24 hours. Sent with each request. Contains no personal data.
  • Your chosen chat nickname, in localStorage. Only leaves your browser as part of chat messages you send.
  • Your local chat log (up to the last 200 messages you've seen), in localStorage. Never sent anywhere.
  • Your local settings (panic hotkey, click guard toggle, etc.), in localStorage. Never sent anywhere.

The operator's edge provider (Cloudflare) may retain standard edge logs (IP addresses, timestamps, request paths) for a short period for security and abuse-prevention purposes, as is standard for any web service. Chat messages are broadcast in real time and are not persisted server-side; when everyone disconnects, the messages are gone.

10Not collected

  • Your email address, real name, phone number, or any account details
  • Watch history, playback duration, or viewing analytics
  • Behavioral tracking, cross-site cookies, or advertising identifiers
  • Anything sold, licensed, or shared with third-party data brokers

11School and institutional use

Meridian is a general-purpose personal tool. It is not designed, marketed, or promoted for use in schools, universities, or workplaces. Whether an individual's personal browsing violates a specific institution's acceptable-use policy is a matter between that individual and that institution. The operator does not enforce any external AUP and cannot mediate disputes about them.

If you are an administrator with a specific concern that requires a response from a human, use the contact address below. Requests to take the entire tool offline will be politely declined, because nothing that could be taken offline is being distributed by us in the first place.

12Age restrictions

You must be of the age of majority in your jurisdiction to use this service. If a piece of content you request through the interface carries a mature rating in your country, you are responsible for confirming you're of appropriate age before playing it. Meridian does not verify age.

13Modifications

These terms may be updated at any time without individual notice. The current effective version is always displayed at the top of this document. Continued use after changes constitutes acceptance.

14Governing law and venue

These terms are governed by the laws of the United States and, where applicable, the state of residence of the operator, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. Any dispute must be brought in that jurisdiction.

15Contact

For legitimate legal matters, security disclosures, or genuine questions about how the interface works:

Please do not use this address for general support, requests to add specific titles, or requests to remove third-party embedded content. Those requests will not receive a response.

16Attribution

Welcome to Meridian

1. The video player is a third-party service that runs on ad revenue. When you click inside the player, the ad network will sometimes open a new tab or redirect you to another site.

We have no control over what those redirects lead to. There is no way to reliably block this from our end — the streaming provider needs those clicks to make money.

The only real fix is a browser-level ad blocker. Install uBlock Origin from your browser's extension store; it catches almost all of these before they open.
2Use at your own risk

We are not responsible for anything that happens as a result of using this tool. This includes, but is not limited to:

  • Receiving disciplinary action from your school, workplace, or guardians
  • Detention, suspension, expulsion, or loss of school privileges
  • Violating your school's or organization's acceptable-use policy (AUP)
  • Being flagged by network filters, IT staff, or monitoring software (Securly, GoGuardian, Lightspeed, Impero, Bark, Gaggle, Linewize, etc.)
  • Having a school-issued device confiscated, restricted, wiped, or reformatted
  • Loss of Wi-Fi, VPN, or internet privileges on any network you use
  • Being reported to teachers, administrators, parents, or guardians
  • Grade penalties, loss of extracurricular participation, or academic probation
  • Malware, credential theft, or device compromise resulting from clicked ad popups
  • Data loss on any device used to access this site
  • Legal issues in your jurisdiction relating to unauthorized streaming
  • Any indirect, consequential, or incidental damages of any kind
3 · For teachers, administrators & IT staff

This is a personal streaming interface — not a piracy hub or hacking tool.

If you're an educator, school administrator, IT admin, network engineer, or safety officer who's landed here from a monitoring alert, here's what Meridian actually is:

  • A personal front-end for browsing movie and TV metadata from TMDB, a public film database used by IMDb, Letterboxd, Plex, and Kodi
  • Video streams are embedded from independent third-party providers over which we have no control or affiliation
  • We do not host, upload, cache, or store any video content on any server we operate
  • Access is password-gated and intended for the site owner's personal use only
  • No user accounts, no email collection, no analytics or tracking pixels, no data sold to third parties
  • The chat feature is ephemeral and stored only in each viewer's own browser; nothing is retained server-side
Questions about what this is? Meridian is a personal browsing interface, not a content library — there is nothing hosted here that can be removed on request, because nothing is stored on our servers to begin with. How an individual chooses to use a general-purpose tool on their own time is a matter between them and their institution's own acceptable-use policy, not something we enforce or arbitrate from our end. For genuine questions about how the tool works, security disclosures, or legitimate legal matters, the site owner can be reached at [email protected].

By continuing, you confirm you are of legal age in your jurisdiction to view the content you request, that you take full responsibility for how you use this tool, and that you accept the terms above without modification. This notice is displayed every session.

Only works if the tab was opened by a script. Otherwise it just redirects.

Careful with clicks inside the player

Clicking inside the video player can trigger the third-party ad network, opening a new tab or redirecting you to another site. We have no control over what those redirects lead to.

Best fix: install uBlock Origin in your browser. It kills these popups at the network layer regardless of what the site does.
