Last updated: May 22, 2026. These terms are provided as a general template and are not legal advice. If you need terms tailored to a specific legal jurisdiction, please consult a qualified professional.
Acceptance of terms
By accessing and using vlc-mediaplayer.com (the "site"), you agree to these terms of use. If you do not agree with any part of them, please do not use the site. We may update these terms from time to time, and your continued use of the site after a change means you accept the revised terms.
About this website
vlc-mediaplayer.com is an independent informational and guide website about VLC Media Player. It provides download instructions, feature explanations, format references and how-to content. The site is intended as a helpful resource only; it is not a substitute for the official VLC project or its documentation.
Trademarks
"VLC", "VLC media player" and the VLC traffic-cone logo are trademarks owned by VideoLAN. This site is not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by VideoLAN. Those names and marks are used here only to identify and describe the software the site is about — a descriptive, nominative use. All trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.
Software and licensing
VLC Media Player is free and open-source software, developed and published by the non-profit VideoLAN. It is released under the GNU General Public Licence, version 2 or later (GPLv2-or-later). This site does not own VLC, did not create it and does not control its development.
The download buttons on this site link to VideoLAN’s official, verified files on videolan.org. We do not host or repackage the installer. Your use of the VLC software itself is governed by VideoLAN’s licence terms, not by this page.
No warranty
The site and its content are provided "as is" and "as available", without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied. While we work to keep the information accurate and current, we do not warrant that the content is complete, error-free or up to date at all times, or that the site will be available without interruption.
Limitation of liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, vlc-mediaplayer.com and its editorial team will not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental or consequential loss or damage arising from your use of — or inability to use — the site, its content, or any website it links to. You use the site and act on its information at your own discretion and risk.
External links
The site contains links to external websites, including videolan.org and other reference sources. These links are provided for convenience only. We do not control and are not responsible for the content, accuracy, availability or practices of any third-party website. Including a link does not imply that we endorse it.
Changes to these terms
We may revise these terms of use at any time. When we do, we will update the "Last updated" date shown above. We encourage you to review this page periodically so you are aware of the terms that apply to your use of the site.
