Last Updated: September 2, 2026
Welcome to GULP. These Terms of Use (“Terms”) govern your use of the vertical drama streaming platform, services, website (https://gulp.wtf/), and branded desktop and mobile/TV applications (together, the “Service”) operated by GULP STUDIOS LLC (“we”, “us”, or “our”).
By creating an account, subscribing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms, including the **binding arbitration clause** and **class action waiver** outlined in Section 9. If you do not agree to these Terms, do not access or use the Service.
1. Eligibility and Account
You must be at least 16 years of age to create an account and use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use the Service under the supervision of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms.
You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and keep your account details secure. You are solely responsible for all activities that occur under your account credentials. Notify us immediately at help@gulp.wtf if you suspect any unauthorized account access.
2. Subscriptions, Payments, and Cancellations

User Content: The Service may allow users to post comments, participate in forums, or share reviews (“User Content”). You retain ownership of your User Content. However, by posting User Content, you grant GULP a worldwide, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, transferable license to host, display, reproduce, and distribute your content across the Service.
Liability Safe-Harbor: Under Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act and applicable regulations, GULP acts solely as a distributor and is not liable for any User Content. You are entirely responsible for the legality, accuracy, and decency of your User Content.
Prohibited Content: You agree not to post User Content that is illegal, defamatory, threatening, infringing on intellectual property, obscene, or promoting harassment. We reserve the absolute right to remove any content at our sole discretion.

6. Desktop Application Software & Public Beta ("AS IS" Disclaimer)
6.1 Public Beta & Direct Distribution: GULP makes available standalone desktop client applications for macOS, Windows, and Linux (the “Desktop Software”) distributed directly via our platform and authorized distribution links. You acknowledge that the Desktop Software is currently distributed as a Public Beta (v0.1.0) for testing, evaluation, and early access. It may contain bugs, glitches, performance fluctuations, or incomplete features.
6.2 "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" Warranty Disclaimer: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE DESKTOP SOFTWARE IS PROVIDED ENTIRELY ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND DEFECTS, AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. GULP STUDIOS LLC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE. GULP MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE DESKTOP SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE UNINTERRUPTED, MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS, BE COMPATIBLE WITH ANY SYSTEM CONFIGURATION, HARDWARE, OR THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, OR BE ERROR-FREE.
6.3 Right to Modify, Suspend, or Discontinue Software: GULP STUDIOS LLC RESERVES THE ABSOLUTE RIGHT, IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION, AT ANY TIME AND WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE OR LIABILITY TO YOU, TO MODIFY, SUSPEND, RESTRICT, UPDATE, OR PERMANENTLY DISCONTINUE SUPPORT, DISTRIBUTION, AND OPERATION OF THE DESKTOP SOFTWARE, OR ANY SPECIFIC OPERATING SYSTEM BUILD OR VERSION THEREOF. WE ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE CONTINUOUS MAINTENANCE, BUG FIXES, UPDATES, OR PERPETUAL ACCESS TO THE DESKTOP SOFTWARE.
6.4 Operating System Security Verification & Warnings: Desktop Software builds are distributed directly by GULP. macOS packages are code-signed and notarized by Apple Inc. You acknowledge that certain operating systems or third-party security utilities (such as Microsoft Windows SmartScreen or antivirus software) may display standard unrecognized publisher, verification, or reputation prompts upon downloading or installing newly released Public Beta binaries until global cryptographic reputation is established. You are solely responsible for verifying the integrity of downloads initiated through official GULP channels.
6.5 Open Source & Third-Party Components: The Desktop Software incorporates third-party open-source frameworks, including the Chromium browser engine and Electron framework. Such open-source components are subject to their respective copyright notices and software licenses, and GULP disclaims all liability with respect to third-party open-source code.
6.6 Application to Web & Streaming Services: All video streaming feeds, account authentication, subscription billing, User-Generated Content rules, DMCA policies, and intellectual property rights set forth in these Terms apply equally to your access of the Service through the Desktop Software.
7. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless GULP, its parents, affiliates, officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, losses, costs, or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms, your use of the Service, or your posting of User Content.
8. Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL GULP BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, ARISING OUT OF YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE. GULP'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU TO GULP FOR SUBSCRIPTION FEES IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM.
9. Dispute Resolution: Binding ICC Arbitration & Class Action Waiver
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.
Arbitration Agreement: Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, or your relationship with GULP, including its formation, validity, or breach, shall be referred to and finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the **International Chamber of Commerce (ICC)** under its Rules of Arbitration.
Procedure & Venue: The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator appointed in accordance with the ICC Rules. The seat of the arbitration shall be Wilmington, Delaware, and the language of the proceedings shall be English. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.
Class Action Waiver: TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND GULP AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims or preside over any form of representative class action.
Governing Law: These Terms and any dispute arising hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles.
10. Changes and Severability
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. Updates are effective upon publication. If any provision of these Terms is found invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or court, that provision will be severed, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
