Terms of Service

1. Who operates Time&Place

Time&Place is operated by Ефимов Максим Александрович, an individual based in the Russian Federation using the professional-income-tax regime (НПД), without individual-entrepreneur registration (“the operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”). Tax ID (ИНН): 667111125683.

For the service, accounts and purchases, contact support@timeandplace.club. Personal-data requests can be sent to privacy@timeandplace.club. See the Privacy Policy for information about processing. Replies may come from the operator's Proton Mail address.

2. Acceptance and eligibility

You must be at least 18 and have capacity to enter into the relevant contract. A registered account requires the Terms version presented during signup; a Google signup also stops for that acceptance before account creation. The price, access period and links to the applicable Terms and Privacy Policy are available in Pricing before purchase. Clicking Upgrade requests the external payment page; it does not itself confirm payment or activate paid access. Merely reading a public page or this policy is not treated as consent to every possible processing purpose or as a paid order.

Your account relationship begins when registration and the required acceptance are completed. Each Yearly Unlimited purchase is a separate paid contract, accepted by successful payment for its identified order through our authorised payment provider. Creating an order or returning from a payment page does not establish successful payment. Paid access activates automatically after successful payment is confirmed by Time&Place, without another confirmation step from you. Your 365 days of access begin at that activation. We distinguish the verified payment time, confirmation and activation; a processing delay does not reduce your access period or postpone a legally relevant purchase/cancellation clock.

If you use the service in individual professional research, you confirm that you are authorised to do so. An individual account is not a team, resale or enterprise licence.

3. What Time&Place provides

Time&Place helps you find films and other works by time, place and related settings, inspect work information, and keep private selections. The catalogue may combine sources, contain approximate or interpretive settings and change as information is corrected.

It is a discovery and research aid, not an archival authority or professional advice. Independently check information before relying on it in research, publication or professional decisions. This does not remove a specific commitment made at purchase or a mandatory right concerning the service's conformity or quality.

4. Accounts and security

Registration uses email verification or Google; profile name and country are optional. Keep required information reasonably accurate and protect your email account and active sessions. Notify support promptly if you suspect unauthorised access.

Do not share, sell or lend an account, use someone else's account without authority, automate account creation or create duplicate identities to bypass limits. Responsibility for unauthorised activity remains subject to applicable law; these Terms do not automatically make you responsible for every action after a security incident.

5. Registered Free access

Each Registered Free account receives one lifetime allocation of seven combined Search and Work credits, with no daily reset. An empty Search result does not spend a credit. The first non-empty result for an unsettled execution settles that search once. Ordinary refinements and pagination tied to that admitted execution do not consume another credit; a genuine new search or addition can be a separate execution.

A qualifying Work view can spend one credit. Reopening the same Work within the existing ten-minute cooldown does not spend another. New searches entered from Landing require a positive available Free balance or active Unlimited access, even where a similar earlier search is remembered. Returning to an already admitted, settled search can remain free at zero balance. The product identifies the applicable limit and offers Pricing when new charged access is unavailable.

Free credits have no cash value and cannot be transferred. While Yearly Unlimited is active, qualifying use does not consume the preserved Free balance; the remaining balance becomes available again when Unlimited ends.

6. Yearly Unlimited

Yearly Unlimited costs a final, tax-inclusive $20 USD, paid once for 365 days beginning on activation after payment confirmation. There is no automatic renewal or recurring charge. A later purchase requires a new explicit order; an account with active Yearly Unlimited cannot buy a further term through the ordinary checkout.

The plan includes unlimited ordinary Search/Work use and the paid features shown at purchase, including Like/Liked, saving to collections and sharing where offered. “Unlimited” does not permit scraping, automated bulk access or the prohibited uses in section 9. IMDb links remain available after an eligible Work detail has loaded, independently of the Like/Share paid gate.

Material commercial commitments for an already paid period remain protected. We may not use a new price or revised Terms to reduce them retroactively, subject to mandatory law, necessary security measures and remedies described below.

When Unlimited ends, the Free access rules and preserved remaining credits apply. Existing custom collections retain the read access offered to Free/Expired accounts, while Liked and paid mutations can be gated. Expiry alone does not delete your account or its saved selections.

7. Promo access

A valid personal gift code grants an eligible Free or Expired account 365 days from activation. The ordinary rule is one personal promo gift per account for that account's lifetime. An account with active Yearly Unlimited cannot redeem a gift to extend its existing term.

Each code can be used once. An unused transferable gift may be passed to another eligible recipient; it does not transfer ownership of an account. The originally intended recipient and the actual redeemer may differ. Any stated validity restriction must be disclosed with the code. Archiving an administrative recipient record does not by itself revoke a valid unused code or access already granted.

Codes have no cash value. Do not sell, falsify, harvest or automatically test codes, or redeem them through fraud or technical circumvention. Invalid, revoked or fraudulently obtained codes may be refused. Separately authorised operator grants follow their stated conditions; they do not create an advertised public plan or change the ordinary 365-day paid/gift rules.

8. Payments, cancellation and refunds

Before payment and confirmation

When new paid checkout is enabled, it uses the lava.top platform, operated by LAVALANE LTD, Cyprus, as our authorised collection agent. Licensed third-party payment providers process the payment. The service provider identified in section 1 remains responsible for your Time&Place access and purchase claims. The platform has its own Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Pricing shows the total, currency, access duration, absence of renewal and current Terms and Privacy links. Upgrade opens the external payment page directly, where you enter payment details. After successful payment is verified, paid access starts automatically without an additional page or checkbox. A return from the payment provider alone is not payment confirmation. Automatic activation does not fully perform the 365-day service, waive any mandatory cancellation right, or by itself establish a right to deduct charges from a refund.

Time&Place does not perform an undisclosed USD/RUB conversion. The enabled payment method must clearly disclose the actual charge currency and any relevant provider conversion before you pay. We do not store full card details or CVV. A return page, demo result or unverified notification does not prove a real payment or grant paid access.

After successful payment and before activating access, we provide a durable purchase confirmation containing the accepted conditions, order/payment information and the access arrangements. The activation date and 365-day access period are recorded separately without rewriting the conditions you accepted. It remains available for download and delivery retry if email delivery fails. That document is contract evidence, not the fiscal/tax receipt. The receipt required for the seller's tax regime must be provided separately through the applicable process. Historical documents are not reconstructed using today's Terms.

How to withdraw or raise a claim

Use Withdraw from contract at /en/billing/withdrawal when the online function is available, or send a clear statement identifying your purchase to support@timeandplace.club. You do not have to use the form, supply a special phrase, explain your reason where none is required, or delete your account. If you cannot sign in or your account was deleted, use email so support can verify the original purchase and your authority.

The website flow has a separate confirmation action. We acknowledge an online statement with its content and original date/time on a durable channel. A failed delivery leaves the original receipt available for download and retry; it is not treated as proof that an email reached your inbox. We handle alternative clear email statements through support, preserving their original notification time. Login, later resubmission, operator approval or provider processing must not restart an applicable statutory clock.

Optional cancellation form

You may use the following form, or state your decision clearly in another way. Its use is not compulsory.

To: Ефимов Максим Александрович, Time&Place — support@timeandplace.club.

“I/We give notice that I/we withdraw from my/our contract for Time&Place Yearly Unlimited.”

• Order reference and date ordered:
• Name of consumer(s):
• Address of consumer(s):
• Contact email for the acknowledgement:
• Date of the statement:
• Signature of consumer(s), only if sent on paper.

Delete whichever of “I/we” and “my/our” does not apply. A clear electronic statement does not require a handwritten signature. Missing unnecessary information or an explanation does not invalidate an otherwise clear statement.

Rights and calculation

We do not offer an additional voluntary refund policy beyond applicable rights. This does not restrict mandatory withdrawal, conformity, termination, price-reduction or refund rights.

Where the applicable EU or UK distance-service rules grant a cooling-off right, the ordinary period is 14 days after contract conclusion, with extensions where required information was not supplied. The precise applicable rule and formation facts control; we do not treat a payment timestamp as a universal deadline or apply one 14-day limit to every country. Where Russian service-withdrawal rules apply, the right is not limited to that cooling-off period; any actual-expense deduction must be specifically justified. National rules and other remedies may provide different or additional rights.

Any deduction must have a lawful basis and an explained, evidenced calculation. Under applicable Russian service rules, actual expenses must be specifically connected to your contract. Where EU/UK rules permit a proportionate charge for service supplied before cancellation, that charge depends on the required information and your express early-performance request. If those conditions are missing, we do not impose that charge. Elapsed days, a spent credit, a provider fee or immediate activation alone do not establish a lawful deduction or waiver.

We acknowledge receipt without unnecessary delay and begin reviewing a request within one working day. We make any mandatory refund without undue delay and no later than ten calendar days after receiving your first valid statement, or earlier where applicable law requires. Internal approval, repeat submission, verification or waiting for the provider does not restart that period. Ten days is an outer limit, not permission to delay an otherwise ready refund. Working days for our review target follow the official working-day calendar at the operator's location in Russia; a statutory deadline uses its own mandatory calendar.

We use the original payment means unless you expressly agree to another lawful method, and do not charge a refund fee. We distinguish performing the refund from any additional processing by your bank; that distinction does not extend our obligations or promise an unverified bank-credit date.

A request does not itself delete or suspend your account. When a contract is validly ended, only its related access is ended; unrelated access and mandatory remedies remain intact. A verified refund or chargeback may put the related transaction/access under review, with notice and an opportunity to contest it. A good-faith dispute does not itself justify unrelated sanctions. Provider money movement and the website's recording of its confirmed result are separate steps.

9. Permitted use

During your applicable access period, you may use Time&Place for personal discovery and individual professional research within these Terms. Ordinary external links and the collection text-sharing feature may be used subject to the rights in the relevant material.

You must not resell or sublicense the service; republish or commercially exploit a substantial part of the catalogue; scrape, harvest, bulk-download or automate access without written permission; evade credits/authentication/entitlements/rate limits; interfere with security or another user; introduce malware or unlawfully obtain data; or use the service for unlawful, fraudulent or rights-infringing activity. Mandatory statutory exceptions remain unaffected.

10. Your inputs and private collections

You retain whatever rights you have in material you provide. You give the operator a limited, non-exclusive permission to process, store, reproduce and technically transform it only to provide your requested features, secure/support the service and meet applicable legal requirements. This does not give us an unrestricted advertising or unrelated exploitation licence over your queries or private selections.

Likes and collections are private account features. Collection Share prepares a frozen ordered text snapshot and requests the channel you select; it does not automatically publish your collection or create a public collection page. A copied, emailed or posted snapshot is then subject to your decisions and the receiving service. Avoid entering unnecessary sensitive or third-party personal information. Personal-data handling is explained in the Privacy Policy.

11. Intellectual property and third parties

The operator retains the rights it holds in Time&Place software, interface, design, branding and original material. These Terms do not transfer ownership of those rights.

Catalogue titles, identifiers, descriptions, images, trademarks and other third-party material may have separate right holders and source conditions. Its presence in Time&Place does not give you a right to redistribute or commercially exploit it. External sites, including IMDb and sharing channels, have their own operators and terms. We do not control their availability or independently guarantee their content.

If you believe material infringes your rights, contact support with enough information to identify the material and your claim. It helps us identify and assess the material; the presence of a catalogue item is not a guarantee that every underlying right belongs to the operator.

Geographic reference data includes GeoNames, licensed under CC BY 4.0; we may select, normalise and combine that data. Structured data from Wikidata is available under CC0. These notices do not extend those licences to film images, descriptions or material owned by other right holders.

12. Availability and service changes

We may maintain, correct and secure Time&Place and update the catalogue. We use reasonable care but do not promise continuous, error-free or permanent availability. Maintenance and interruptions may occur.

Changes that materially and negatively affect an active paid period require the notice and remedies applicable law provides. If the paid service is discontinued before a paid period ends, we provide the continued access, replacement or refund required by applicable law. A general power to change the service does not override an express paid commitment or mandatory remedy.

13. Suspension and termination

We normally give notice and a reasonable opportunity to correct a suspected breach. Immediate proportionate restriction may be necessary to prevent fraud, serious abuse, security harm, unlawful conduct or harm to another person, or comply with a legal requirement.

We may end an account for a material or repeated breach that is not corrected after notice. Contact support to contest a restriction. Suspension or termination does not remove a mandatory consumer remedy or make every amount paid automatically non-refundable.

14. Account deletion

Request account export or deletion through privacy@timeandplace.club; general support can also route a request. We verify ownership or authority before releasing data or deleting an account. Export information you wish to keep before deletion.

Deletion revokes account access and removes private selections and linked access records, subject to the limited, justified retention explained in the Privacy Policy. It is not the same operation as withdrawing from a purchase contract. You do not have to delete an account to claim a refund, and deletion does not waive a claim you already have. Support can assess an original order after deletion using the minimum retained evidence without assigning that order to a new account merely because its email matches.

15. Disclaimers

To the extent permitted by applicable law, Time&Place is provided “as is” and “as available”. Catalogue data can be incomplete, disputed or incorrect; a setting can be approximate and a result can omit a relevant work. Check information before relying on it.

These statements do not exclude reasonable-care obligations, a specific commitment shown at purchase or any guarantee, warranty or remedy that applicable law does not allow us to exclude.

16. Limits on liability

For contractual liability that may lawfully be limited, our liability to you is limited to the total amount you paid the operator during the 12 months immediately preceding the event giving rise to your claim. If applicable law requires a higher minimum limit, that minimum applies. This is a limit on contractual claims between you and the operator; it does not limit independent claims of other right holders or third parties.

No limit applies to fraud, fraudulent misrepresentation, wilful misconduct, death or personal injury caused by negligence, a non-excludable statutory duty or other liability that cannot lawfully be limited. A limit does not reduce a mandatory refund, price reduction or other consumer remedy, or turn a Free account's zero payment into an exclusion of mandatory liability.

17. Mandatory consumer rights

A consumer may have mandatory rights under applicable law concerning information, cancellation, conformity, unfair terms, remedies and access to courts. These Terms do not exclude or replace them. A conflicting provision is limited only to the extent of the conflict; other provisions continue where lawful.

Time&Place is an international service. The user interface is available in Russian and English. Film titles, descriptions and other catalogue data are shown in an available language. Emails and some service text in generated documents are currently in English. General accessibility does not itself settle every national rule's application. The choice of law below does not deprive a consumer of protections that mandatory conflict-of-laws rules preserve.

18. Changes to these Terms

We may propose changes to these Terms for service changes, clearer wording, legal requirements or security. We give at least 14 calendar days' advance notice of material changes, by account email and an additional notice in the service. A longer mandatory period or a particular legally required channel takes priority.

A shorter notice period is used only where law requires earlier action or an urgent security or fraud-prevention measure is necessary. We explain the reason where lawfully possible. Notice alone does not authorise us to change an existing contract unilaterally where that is not permitted.

Changes do not retroactively rewrite accepted purchase conditions or reduce protected commitments for an active paid period. Where express renewed acceptance is required, we request it; silence is not automatically a substitute for that acceptance. A privacy or processing consent required separately is not bundled into a general Terms update.

19. Resolving disputes

You can contact support with the problem and requested resolution so we can try to resolve it. This invitation does not impose an unlawful mandatory pre-court step, delay a statutory deadline or prevent urgent relief, a regulatory complaint or a claim before a competent court.

There is no mandatory arbitration or contractual waiver of court access. Preserve your order and correspondence references so support can identify the case.

20. Governing law and courts

The chosen governing law is the law of the Russian Federation, subject to applicable mandatory consumer protections and conflict-of-laws rules. This choice does not deprive a consumer of protections that would otherwise apply under those rules.

Disputes may be brought before the courts competent under applicable law. These Terms do not impose exclusive Russian venue where mandatory law gives a consumer another competent forum. No provision requires a consumer to waive mandatory local protections or a competent forum.

21. General terms and contact

These Terms are available in Russian and English. Both editions have equal legal force and are to be interpreted consistently, subject to mandatory provisions of applicable law. Neither edition has automatic priority.

An invalid provision is limited only as necessary where lawful, with the remaining Terms continuing. A delay in enforcing a right is not a waiver. Headings and the summary are for convenience.

An account or this contract may not be transferred by you without written permission; passing an eligible unused gift code under section 7 is a different act. Any lawful transfer of the service by the operator must preserve applicable consumer/data rights and require the notice or consent that law demands.
