Terms of use
The rules of the game
What Snapline offers you, what it does not promise, and what is expected of you. Accessing the site means accepting these terms.
Version 1.12 — in force on 16 September 2026
1. Purpose
These terms of use (the “Terms”) govern access to and use of the Snapline site (the “Site”), available free of charge. Until 16 September 2026, the Site was called Road To; only its name has changed, and these terms apply with no other modification. Browsing requires no account; however, keeping progress, a rating or a profile requires one.
The Site is an editorial guide offering an annotated viewing order of the films and series of the Marvel Cinematic Universe and neighbouring universes, together with a personal tool for tracking progress and rating.
2. No affiliation whatsoever
Snapline is an independent, personal and non-commercial site. It is not affiliated with, associated with, authorised, endorsed, sponsored by or officially connected in any way to Marvel Studios LLC, Marvel Entertainment LLC, The Walt Disney Company, Twentieth Century Studios, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Netflix, or any other producer, director, writer, actor, publisher, distributor or streaming platform of the works mentioned.
None of the content published on the Site comes from these companies, and none of it has been reviewed, validated or approved by them. The analyses, rankings, statuses given to titles and the proposed order are personal editorial opinions and bind only the Site’s publisher.
The names, titles, characters, logos and trademarks mentioned are used for reference only, to identify the works discussed. The details are in the legal notice.
3. A site built with the assistance of artificial intelligence
The code of this site was written with the assistance of Claude, Anthropic’s conversational assistant. The documentary research, editorial decisions, judgement calls on order and status, choice of sources and checks are human work; the technical implementation and part of the writing are assisted by this tool.
This statement appears here for transparency, not as a disclaimer: the publisher takes full responsibility for all published content, however it was produced.
This has a practical consequence you should know: despite the checks made, factual errors are possible — a running time, a release date, a director’s name, an outdated platform link. If you spot one, reports are welcome at the contact address given in the legal notice.
4. Access to the Site
The Site is available free of charge, without registration and without providing personal data. Without an account, you can browse, open, search, filter, tick and rate everything — and, since version 1.9 of these terms, your ticks and ratings are stored on this device, for it alone, if you answered “Accept all” on the banner. ⚠️ This version replaces the previous one, which stated that without an account “nothing is kept: everything lives in memory and disappears when the tab is closed”. If you answered “Refuse”, that is still the case.
What is stored on the device is sent to no one and readable by no one else: neither the Publisher nor another user can access it. It disappears if you clear the Site’s data in your browser, if you answer “Refuse”, or if you sign in to an account — in which case the account replaces it.
An account is required for everything else — favourites, “Rewatch”, series tracking, importing a list, the display name, the emblem, the colour, statistics, friends, the duo and the group. The Site offers one when you make a move worth keeping, never on arrival. It is created with a public username you choose and a four-digit access code: no email address, no name and no identity data are requested. A nine-character recovery code is given to you on creation: it is what reopens the account if you forget the access code. ⚠️ The Site keeps only a fingerprint of it and so cannot show it to you again: write it down when it is given to you, and share it with no one. The account lets you find your progress elsewhere. You can delete it at any time from the Site, in a single step. The details of what is stored are on the Data & privacy page.
The duo invitation link. You can send a link that proposes a duo. It carries your public username and nothing else, it is not secret, and an account is still needed to answer it. It creates no relationship on its own: as always, a duo requires both people to want it.
⚠️ In a group, the titles you have ticked and the ratings you have given them are visible to the other members, and to them only. A setting, switched on when you join a group, lets you switch it off at any time: the list is then erased on their side. The details are on the Data & privacy page.
The features that connect you with other people exist only with an account, and each one requires your consent. A friendship is formed when both people want it; a duo is proposed to one of your friends and ended in a single step, on both sides; a group can be joined only on invitation from its leader. A group whose leader does not come back can therefore no longer take in new members; the leader cannot leave their group — they dissolve it or stay. ⚠️ Since version 1.4 of these terms, an invitation code passed from hand to hand no longer opens anything: codes already shared do not work, and there is no way to reactivate them.
⚠️ You can belong to only ONE group at a time, and this rule changed with the present version: until now you could join up to five. Accepting an invitation automatically makes you leave your previous group — the site warns you before you accept, and the members you leave are told of your departure. Going back requires a new invitation from its leader. If you lead a group, you cannot accept another: you must first dissolve your own.
⚠️ The public profile is an exception, and an explicit one. A setting in the Account section, on when the account is created, makes your profile viewable through a link, without an account and without friendship: public username, display name, emblem, colour, progress percentage and top three favourites. You can switch it off at any time, and switching it off closes access immediately. The link is not a secret: anyone who receives it can pass it on. The details are on the Data & privacy page.
A refusal blocks no one and is reported to no one: the request, duo invitation or group invitation can be renewed later. Deleting your account undoes all these relationships, including on other people’s side, and dissolves the groups you led.
The public username is subject to the same filter as the display name: the Publisher may remove without notice any username that breaches Article 6, “Community ratings and rules of conduct”.
Snapline is free, and it is non-profit. Publisher’s decision of 16 September 2026: no advertising, no subscription, no paid feature, no affiliate link, no donations. The site therefore has nothing to sell you and nothing to make you click — which is what allows it to say a title can be skipped. ⚠️ Should that ever change, it would be written here beforehand, the What’s new page would say so, and the obligations that go with it — disclosure of affiliate links, the publisher’s status — would be met at that moment and not after.
Account suspension. In the event of use contrary to these terms, the Publisher may suspend an account: sign-in is then refused and the account no longer appears to its friends, its duo or its group. Nothing is deleted: progress, friendships, the duo and the group are kept, and the suspension can be lifted. Your right to have your data erased remains intact during a suspension.
The publisher strives to keep the Site available at all times, without being bound to do so. It may modify, suspend or discontinue it at any time, in particular for maintenance, without notice or compensation. As the Site can be installed and works offline, a service interruption does not affect data already stored on your device.
5. Editorial content and spoilers
The Site discusses works of fiction. By nature, it contains plot details.
- Full summaries, ending included, are always folded behind a section explicitly titled “Spoilers”. Opening them is a deliberate act.
- For a work still in cinemas or not yet released, the summary stops before the ending and says so.
- Posters, titles and official synopses are considered public promotional material and are not hidden.
The publisher cannot be held liable for revealing a plot point to a user who has deliberately expanded a section marked as such.
6. Community ratings and rules of conduct
The Site lets you give each title a rating from 0 to 10. Ratings are aggregated into an anonymous average. Each person has a single vote per title; rating again replaces the previous rating.
By using this feature, you agree not to:
- artificially skewing averages through automated or mass voting;
- attempting to get around the technical limits in place;
- access the Site by automated means likely to disrupt its operation.
The display name you choose for your profile, and your account’s public username, go through an automatic filter that blocks insults, hateful references and unlawful content. Both are visible to other people: your public username is what someone types to send you a friend request, and your display name is shown to those who have accepted. A request received by someone who is not yet your friend shows only your public username: no display name, no emblem, no progress.
Other texts you write are seen by other people and go through the same filter: the nickname you give your duo partner — it is shown on both sides — and the name of a group you create, seen by all its members. The filter is applied on the server, not only in the page: a refused text is never saved, and the offending term is not shown back to you. The Publisher may remove without notice any nickname or group name that breaches this article.
You also agree not to use these features to pester someone who has refused a request, a duo invitation or a group invitation.
The publisher reserves the right to remove any clearly abusive rating and to restrict access to the rating feature in the event of misuse.
7. Intellectual property and permitted use
You are permitted to view the Site, install it on your device and share links to it in a normal private or editorial context.
The following, however, are prohibited without prior written permission:
- extracting or systematically reusing all or a substantial part of the Site’s editorial content;
- reproducing the Site or its organisation for commercial use;
- removing or altering ownership and attribution notices.
Third-party rights in the works mentioned remain fully reserved: nothing in these Terms grants you any right in those works.
8. Liability
The Site is provided as is, with no guarantee of accuracy, completeness or currency. Practical information — running times, dates, availability on a platform, average ratings — may change independently of the publisher.
The publisher cannot be held liable:
- for a decision made solely on the strength of the Site’s information;
- for the loss of data stored locally, in particular if browsing data is cleared, the device is changed or storage is refused;
- for the unavailability, content or practices of third-party sites and platforms the Site links to;
- for any indirect damage resulting from use of the Site.
These limitations apply to the extent permitted by applicable law; they cannot exclude the publisher’s liability for gross negligence or wilful misconduct, nor the rights the law grants to consumers.
9. Personal data
The Site asks for no name, no email address and no identity data — not even to open an account — and carries out no audience measurement or advertising targeting. The processing of data, its purposes, retention periods and how to exercise your rights are described in detail on the Data & privacy page, which forms an integral part of these terms.
10. Changes to these terms
These Terms may be changed at any time, in particular to reflect changes to the Site or to regulations. The version in force is the one published on this page, whose date appears at the top. In the event of a substantial change affecting the processing of your data, you will be informed of it on the Site.
11. Applicable law
These terms are governed by French law. In the event of a dispute, an amicable solution will be sought first by writing to the contact address given in the legal notice. Failing agreement, the French courts have jurisdiction, subject to the protective rules applicable to consumers.
Under Article L. 612-1 of the French Consumer Code, a consumer may use a consumer mediator free of charge. As the Site is provided free of charge and on a non-professional basis, however, this scheme is not intended to apply.
