Service description

Plausum is a movie scoring platform that calculates Awardscore ratings based on film festival awards, academy nominations, and critical recognition. The service is provided for personal, non-commercial use.

You may create an account to access personalized features such as movie ratings, watch statuses, and lists. You are responsible for:

  • Maintaining the security of your account credentials
  • All activity that occurs under your account
  • Providing accurate information when creating your account

Intellectual property

The Plausum scoring system, including the Awardscore algorithm and tier classifications, is our original work. Movie metadata (titles, cast, awards) is sourced from publicly available information. All trademarks for film festivals and award bodies belong to their respective owners.

You agree not to:

  • Use the service for any unlawful purpose

Disclaimers

Plausum is provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, express or implied. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or reliability of any Awardscore ratings or movie data. Scores are generated algorithmically and should not be treated as definitive critical assessments.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Plausum and its operators shall not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from your use of the service.

Termination

We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at our discretion if you violate these terms. You may also delete your account at any time by contacting us.
