Disclaimer

General Disclaimer

Shakycam is a community-driven platform where users rate and review the camera stability of movies and television shows. The ratings and reviews posted on this platform are the personal opinions of individual users and do not necessarily reflect the views of Shakycam or its creators.

User-Generated Content

While we strive to maintain a respectful community, Shakycam does not endorse, guarantee, or assume responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or quality of user-generated content. Users are solely responsible for their own posts and comments.

We reserve the right to remove content that violates our community standards, including but not limited to spam, harassment, or misleading information.

Not Professional Criticism

Shakycam ratings are subjective assessments by viewers, not professional film criticism or technical cinematography analysis. Camera stability preferences vary by individual and context. What one viewer finds jarring, another may find artistic.

No Liability

Shakycam is provided "as is" without warranties of any kind. We are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or any loss of profits or revenues, whether incurred directly or indirectly.

Content Rights

Movie and TV show titles, posters, and related metadata are sourced from third-party databases (such as TMDB). Shakycam does not own or claim ownership of this content.

By posting content to Shakycam, you grant us a non-exclusive license to display and distribute that content on our platform.

Changes to This Disclaimer

We may update this disclaimer at any time without notice. Your continued use of Shakycam constitutes acceptance of any changes.

House Rules

1. Purpose of the Site

This platform is a personal project created for my own enjoyment and the benefit of the film-loving community. While I’m happy to share this space, please remember that this is a hobbyist site, not a public utility or a democracy.

2. The "Director’s Chair" (Right to Remove)

To maintain the quality and spirit of this project, I reserve the right to revoke access or remove any user at my sole discretion. This isn't personal; it's about keeping the vibes right and the data clean.

3. Expected Conduct

We’re all here because we love (or love to critique) movies. Be respectful. Users who engage in harassment, bad-faith arguments, or general "trolling" will be shown the exit.

4. Technical Integrity & "The Shaky Cam" Clause

This site relies on accurate technical reporting. We understand that art is subjective, but technical facts are not. Example: If a film is objectively shot with heavy handheld "shaky cam" and you consistently rate it as "perfectly stable," you are providing false data. Ratings that fly in the face of proven technical reality undermine the tool for everyone else. Frequent "objectively wrong" ratings are grounds for account removal.

Terms of Service

Effective Date: 2026-02-17

Welcome to Shakycom. By accessing or using this website, you agree to be bound by the following terms. This site is a privately owned personal project; your continued use indicates acceptance of these rules.

1. Nature of the Service

2. Eligibility and Account Termination

Access to this site is a privilege, not a right. The owner reserves the absolute right to: Refuse service to anyone for any reason. Suspend or delete user accounts at any time, without prior notice or explanation. Remove any user content (ratings, comments, etc.) that the owner deems inappropriate or unhelpful to the site's mission.

3. Data Integrity & The "Objective Accuracy" Rule

The primary value of this site is providing reliable information for users (particularly regarding technical aspects like camera stability). Fact vs. Opinion: While we welcome subjective opinions on a movie’s quality, we require objective accuracy regarding its technical execution. False Reporting: Users who consistently submit ratings that contradict established technical facts (e.g., rating a film with documented heavy handheld "shaky cam" as "stable") will be flagged. Consequences: Intentional or persistent false reporting is considered "data poisoning." Accounts found to be submitting objectively incorrect technical data will be terminated to protect the integrity of the database.

4. User Conduct

To keep the community enjoyable for everyone, users must: Refrain from harassment, hate speech, or abusive behavior. Avoid "review bombing" or manipulative rating practices. Respect that this is a curated space owned by an individual, not a public forum.

5. Limitation of Liability

The owner shall not be held liable for any loss of data, loss of access, or any offense taken from content or moderation decisions made on this site.
