What Longwave is

Longwave is a streaming platform for one original fiction series, Olivia Vlogs in Space. The first episode is free for everyone. The rest of the series, and the deeper archive around it, is for members who subscribe.

Your account

You sign up with an email address and a password. Keep your credentials safe — your account is yours, and one account is for one person. If an account is used abusively (harassment, fraud, attempts to break the platform), I can suspend or close it.

Subscriptions & billing

Payments are handled by Stripe. The current tiers are Receiver at $6/month or $60/year, Operator at $14/month or $140/year, and Founding at $48/year. Subscriptions renew automatically until you cancel.

You can cancel anytime from your Account page. When you cancel, you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for — no tricks, no early cutoff. Prices may change in the future, but only for future billing periods, and you'll be told before it happens.

Refunds

If a billing mistake happens — you were charged twice, charged after cancelling, anything like that — write to me and I'll fix it. Beyond genuine mistakes, there are no partial-period refunds: cancelling stops the next charge rather than refunding the current one.

The content

Everything on Longwave — the episodes, the characters, the images, the text, all of it — is original copyrighted work. Your subscription is for personal viewing. Please don't download, re-upload, or redistribute the episodes.

That said: short clips for commentary, reviews, and fan content are welcome, with credit. If you're making something and you're unsure whether it's fine, just ask.

Acceptable use

Don't scrape the site, don't try to hack it, don't share your account access with others, and don't circumvent the paywall. That's the whole list.

No warranty

Longwave is provided as-is. I aim for reliability and take outages personally, but this is a small independent platform, not a global CDN empire — occasional hiccups can happen, and the service comes without formal guarantees.

Changes

I may update these terms from time to time. If you keep using Longwave after a change, that counts as accepting it. The "last updated" date at the top of this page will always tell you when the terms last moved.
