- Documentary information may change or occasionally contain errors.
Permitted use
You may use the website for lawful personal, educational, and informational purposes, including browsing pages, watching embeds, following publisher links, sharing public URLs, reviewing information, and using navigation and search.
Prohibited use
You must not interfere with operation or security, attempt unauthorized access, introduce malware, submit fraudulent legal notices, impersonate others, circumvent controls, extract restricted data, misrepresent an affiliation, disrupt the service with automation, or commercially republish substantial original site content without authorization. This does not prohibit ordinary search-engine crawling or reasonable personal use.
Embedded and third-party content
Third-party videos and materials are governed by their publishers and platforms. We cannot guarantee continued or worldwide availability, absence of in-player ads, captions, unchanged metadata, or permanent external links.
Intellectual property
Original branding, design, layout, editorial writing, organization, software, and graphics may be protected by intellectual-property law. Videos, thumbnails, trademarks, publisher names, and other third-party materials remain the property of their owners.
Documentary information
We aim for accurate titles, descriptions, categories, attribution, links, and viewing information, but may correct, update, or remove incomplete, outdated, or incorrect information without prior notice.
Availability
The website may be modified, suspended, or discontinued. A documentary may be removed because its source is unavailable, a publisher restricts access, a valid complaint is received, it is duplicated or misclassified, it violates policy, or technical or legal issues require removal.
Contact submissions
The contact form is provided for genuine enquiries. You must provide accurate information and must not submit spam, malicious content, unlawful requests, or sensitive information that is unnecessary for the enquiry.
No professional advice
Documentaries and editorial descriptions are for general informational and educational discovery. They are not medical, legal, financial, psychological, historical-verification, or scientific advice. Consult an appropriately qualified professional when needed.
Advertisements
The website may display clearly distinguishable third-party advertising. An advertisement does not necessarily imply endorsement of the advertiser, product, or service.
Disclaimer of warranties
The website is provided on an “as available” basis. To the extent permitted by law, we do not guarantee uninterrupted or error-free operation, continued third-party video availability, accuracy of all external content, or compatibility with every device. Rights that cannot legally be excluded remain unaffected.
Limitation of liability
To the extent permitted by law, Free Documentary Vault is not responsible for indirect or consequential losses resulting solely from website unavailability, reliance on third-party content, publisher changes, external services, or loss of access to a video. Liability that cannot lawfully be excluded remains unaffected.
Changes to these terms
These terms may be updated as the website or applicable requirements change. A verified general contact method will be added when available.
