Terms of Use

The scope of SceneTrace's services, information and watch links, review rules, content rights, and promotions.

Last updated: October 25, 2026

What the site provides

SceneTrace (shortdramacast.com) is an independent short-drama discovery and information service. It provides stories, cast, alternate titles, charts, editorial recommendations, watch links, and selected on-site previews and third-party players. Please read these terms before using the relevant features.

Accounts, subscriptions, episode unlocks, payments, and refunds on external platforms are managed by those platforms. SceneTrace does not collect their viewing fees. Before paying, check the provider's pricing, renewals, region, language, and refund conditions.

Records, charts, and viewing information

We organize and check information, but titles, cast, episode counts, release status, and watch links can change with their sources and may contain omissions or errors. Charts reflect signals within their stated rules and time periods. Editorial recommendations include subjective judgments and do not guarantee that a work will suit every viewer.

Free episodes, preview coverage, prices, and regional availability can change. A free preview does not mean that the entire work is free or that an external link will remain available. Contact us with the relevant page if you find an information or link problem.

Responsible use

You are welcome to browse records, search, save dramas, and share links to SceneTrace pages. Follow applicable law and content rights. Do not disrupt the site, bypass security checks or paid-access restrictions, impersonate others, distribute malicious links, or use reviews to send spam.

Sharing a page link does not grant permission to copy, download, republish, or commercially use its videos, images, or other materials. Such use requires the necessary permission or must fall within uses permitted by applicable law.

Reviews and submitted content

Submit only content you have the right to publish, and take responsibility for your opinions and statements. Do not post infringing material, other people's private information, impersonation, threats, harassment, hateful content, or spam promotions. Reviewers' personal opinions do not represent SceneTrace's views.

You retain the rights to your reviews. By submitting a review, you permit SceneTrace to store it, display it publicly, and make necessary formatting and language conversions to provide the review feature. This non-exclusive permission is limited to operating and displaying site reviews; it does not transfer ownership or include unrelated commercial reuse.

We may review, hide, or remove content to address spam, security, infringement, or other rule violations, and reasonably restrict abusive submissions. To request removal of your review or ask about a moderation decision, contact us with the relevant page. The Privacy Policy explains how we handle personal information.

Video, materials, and third-party services

Rights in works, posters, stills, trademarks, third-party video, and other materials belong to their respective rights holders. Organizing records, providing watch links, or displaying a player does not mean SceneTrace owns the work or grants visitors additional rights to use those materials.

On-site previews may cover only selected episodes. Third-party players, including YouTube, Dailymotion, and Bilibili, and external viewing platforms also have their own terms. When using the YouTube player, you must also comply with the YouTube Terms of Service. Follow applicable age, region, and content-access requirements.

If you believe records, media, reviews, or links shown on the site infringe your rights, use the Copyright / DMCA page to identify the location and provide the necessary details. We will review reports through the process described there.

Advertising and affiliate promotions

SceneTrace displays advertising and platform promotions, and some watch or recommendation links are affiliate links. We may earn a commission when you visit a platform or complete an eligible activity through those links. Promotional creatives and placements may be selected using page content, language, platform, and promotional arrangements. Consider the promotional labels when assessing that content.

Promotions do not guarantee ongoing platform availability, the quality of a work, or a particular outcome. The receiving platform's current information governs its transactions and services. The Privacy Policy explains affiliate redirects and analytics data processing.

Your local library and privacy choices

Saved dramas and recent history stay in the current browser, require no account, and are not synced across devices by SceneTrace. Clearing site data, changing browsers or devices, or automatic browser storage cleanup may remove them. Your library is not a cloud backup and does not include offline video copies.

Privacy and analytics choices are handled through the Privacy Policy and the settings offered on the site. Reading or using these terms does not replace explicit consent required for analytics services.

Service changes and statutory rights

We will take reasonable steps to maintain the site and may update or temporarily interrupt features for repairs, security, or service changes. You can report known information errors, broken links, or feature problems through the email below.

These terms do not exclude or limit liability that applicable law does not allow us to exclude or limit, or affect your statutory consumer rights or other mandatory rights. Updates to these terms will not take those rights away.

Revisions will appear on this page with a new update date. Before using a feature, check the rules relevant to it. Contact us below if you have questions.
