Terms of Service

Last updated 6 October 2026

These terms are an agreement between you and VantaTech ehf. and govern your use of the Kine app, the account panel at watchkine.com and the Kine subscription. By creating an account or subscribing you accept them. If you do not agree, do not use Kine.

1. Who we are

Kine is operated by VantaTech ehf., company number (kennitala) 6407070460, Tjarnargata 3, 230 Reykjanesbær, Iceland. You can reach us at [email protected].

2. What Kine is, and what it is not

Kine is a media player application for televisions and set-top devices. It gives the TV service you already hold with your own provider a modern home screen, a programme guide, profiles, subtitles and a player. It has no catalogue of its own.

Kine does not supply, host, store, cache, sell, license, index, curate or recommend channels, films, series, events or any other programming, and it does not sell or resell any TV service or subscription. Everything you watch through Kine comes from your provider, under the agreement you have with that provider, and is delivered on your provider's responsibility.

3. Your provider is your responsibility

To use Kine you need an active subscription with a TV provider of your own choosing, together with the access code and login details that provider gives you. You choose the provider; Kine does not recommend, refer, sell, advertise or advise on providers and will not answer questions about where to obtain a service.

Kine is not affiliated with, endorsed by or responsible for any provider. Where Kine is able to connect to a provider's system, that is a matter of technical compatibility only; it is not a check, approval or endorsement of that provider, of its licences or of the content it delivers. We may add or remove compatibility with any provider at any time without notice.

By connecting a provider you confirm that you hold a valid subscription with it, that you are entitled to receive and view the content it delivers in your country, and that you will not use Kine to access, stream, record or distribute any content without the authorisation of the rights holder. Kine must not be used with services that distribute content unlawfully. You are solely responsible for the legality of the service you connect and for complying with the laws of the country you are in.

Questions about channels, programmes, playlists, outages, picture quality, login details or billing of your TV service must go to your provider. Kine support covers the Kine app and your Kine account only.

4. Copyright complaints

Kine hosts no content, but we take complaints from rights holders seriously. If you believe content delivered through a provider connected to Kine infringes your rights, email [email protected] with your name and contact details, a description of the work, the provider concerned and a statement that you are the rights holder or act for them. We will respond within ten business days and may suspend compatibility with the provider concerned or suspend accounts that use Kine in breach of section 3.

5. Your account

You must be at least 18 years old to create an account. Keep your password and your provider login confidential and tell us at once if you believe your account has been used without permission. You are responsible for activity on your account. You may connect the TVs and devices you own or control; we may limit the number of simultaneous devices and you can sign out devices you no longer use from the account panel.

6. Subscription, prices and payment

The Kine subscription pays for the Kine app and account only. It does not include, and is separate from, any TV service or subscription with a provider. It is offered as a monthly plan and an annual plan. The price, the currency and the billing period of each plan are shown on watchkine.com and on the Billing page before you subscribe. The price you see at the time of purchase is the price you pay for that billing period.

Payment is by card through our payment service provider, Rapyd, on Rapyd's hosted checkout page. Your full card details never reach Kine; we store only the card brand, the last four digits and the expiry date so you can recognise the card on file. By subscribing you authorise us and Rapyd to charge that card for the subscription fee at the start of each billing period.

A receipt for every payment is available on the Billing page and is sent to the email address on your account.

7. Automatic renewal

Your subscription renews automatically at the end of each billing period, monthly or yearly depending on your plan, and your card is charged the then-current price for the next period until you cancel. Before each annual renewal we send you a reminder by email at least seven days before the charge. The next charge date is shown on the Billing page at all times.

8. Cancelling

You can cancel at any time on the Billing page at watchkine.com/account/billing by choosing "Cancel subscription" and confirming. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the period you have already paid for; you keep access until then and are not charged again. You can resume a cancelled subscription from the same page before the period ends. Except where the law gives you a right to a refund, we do not refund the unused part of a billing period, and we do not refund because your provider's service changed, stopped or was unavailable.

9. Right of withdrawal for consumers in the EEA

If you are a consumer in the European Economic Area you have the right to withdraw from the subscription within 14 days of purchase without giving a reason. By subscribing you ask us to provide the service immediately. If you withdraw within the 14 days, we refund the fee less an amount proportional to the days of service already provided. To withdraw, email [email protected] from the address on your account with a clear statement that you withdraw. Refunds go back to the card you paid with.

10. Failed payments

If a renewal payment fails, we retry the card on file automatically and tell you on the Billing page and by email. You keep access until the end of the period you have paid for. If the payment still fails, the subscription expires and access to the app ends until you subscribe again.

11. Price changes

We may change the subscription price. We will tell you by email at least 30 days before a price change takes effect. The new price applies from your next renewal after that date. If you do not accept the new price, cancel before the renewal and you will not be charged it.

12. Acceptable use

You may use Kine only for personal, non-commercial purposes and only with services you are entitled to use. You may not resell access, share your account beyond your household, use Kine to operate or promote a TV service, interfere with the service, attempt to bypass its security, reverse engineer the app except where the law allows it, or use Kine for anything unlawful. We may suspend or terminate accounts that break these rules.

13. Changes to the service and availability

We improve Kine continuously and may add, change or remove features, and may add or remove compatibility with providers. We aim to keep the service available at all times but cannot guarantee that it will be uninterrupted or error-free, in particular where the interruption is caused by your provider, your network or your devices.

14. Warranties, liability and indemnity

Kine is provided "as is". To the extent permitted by law we give no warranty that Kine will work with any particular provider, device or network, or that any content delivered by a provider will be available, lawful, of any quality or suitable for you. We are not liable for the acts, omissions, content or services of any provider.

To the extent permitted by law, our liability to you in connection with Kine is limited to the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or your statutory rights as a consumer.

You agree to compensate us for losses, costs and claims brought against us by third parties, including rights holders, that arise from the service you connected to Kine or from your breach of sections 3 or 12, to the extent the law allows such an agreement.

15. Ending the agreement

You can close your account at any time by emailing us. We may suspend or close your account, or disconnect a provider from it, if you break these terms, if we receive a credible complaint under section 4, if your payment cannot be collected, or if we stop offering Kine, in which case we refund any prepaid period we cannot provide.

16. Changes to these terms

We may update these terms. If a change is material we will tell you by email or in the account panel at least 30 days before it takes effect. Continuing to use Kine after that date means you accept the updated terms.

17. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of Iceland. If you are a consumer you also benefit from the mandatory consumer protection rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country. Please contact us first; we try to resolve every complaint directly. Consumers in the EU may also use the European Commission's online dispute resolution platform.
