Terms of Service
Effective 16 November 2026
These terms cover this website, theotisfiles.com, and Otis Files Publisher, the in-house tool we use to run our own channels. "We" means the team behind The Otis Files and its Bengali edition, বুদ্ধিটা কার? By using the website you agree to these terms.
1. The website
The website tells you about the series and points you to our channels. You may read it and link to it freely. Please do not try to disrupt it, break into it, or copy it in bulk by automated means.
2. Our films and characters
The films, the characters Otis and Pip, the artwork, the scripts and the name The Otis Files belong to us. You are welcome to share our films using the share tools of the platform you watch them on. Please do not re-upload them, edit them into other videos, or use the characters in your own products without asking us first.
3. What the films are
Our films are short pieces of commentary and history, told with animated characters. We work from published sources and we correct mistakes when we learn of them. The films are not professional advice of any kind, and the scenes are dramatised: the characters and their conversations are invented to tell a true story.
4. Other platforms
Our films are published on YouTube, Facebook, Instagram and TikTok. When you watch, comment or follow there, that platform's own terms and privacy policy apply to you. We may hide or remove comments on our channels that are spam, abusive or unlawful.
5. Otis Files Publisher
Otis Files Publisher is a private tool used only by the team behind The Otis Files to publish our own films, answer comments and read statistics on our own channels. It is not offered to the public.
The tool uses YouTube API Services. Anyone who uses Otis Files Publisher agrees to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service. How the tool handles data is described in our Privacy Policy, which also refers to the Google Privacy Policy.
6. No warranty
The website and the films are provided as they are. We do our best to keep them accurate and available, but we cannot promise that they will always be free of errors or interruptions. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for loss that results from relying on them.
7. Changes
If these terms change, the new version will be posted on this page with a new date.
