The term “You” also implies Users and other individuals authorized by You as consistent with these Terms of Service to the extent reasonably implied in the context used herein. Nothing herein permits You to use the Services without first obtaining the necessary rights and consents described herein and in any Contract.

Your use of the Service and/or Website is subject to the following terms and conditions (referred to herein as the “Terms of Use” or “Terms”), to the contract established between Flowplayer and you (“referred to herein as the “Contract”), and to the terms and conditions of Flowplayer’s Privacy Policy, which is published at www.Flowplayer.com/privacy-policy, and which is incorporated herein by reference.

Under no circumstances will Flowplayer, its Agents or its Suppliers be liable in any way for Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred by You or any third party as a result of the use or publication of any Content posted, delivered, streamed, or otherwise transmitted via in or connection with the Services.

For clarity, nothing in this Section diminishes Flowplayer’s obligations to You under these Terms of Service with respect to Flowplayer’s (or its Suppliers’) technology that is expressly stated as included within the “Services” in the Contract(s) (the “Flowplayer IP”), but instead relates to any access and/or use of third party products and/or services that You elect to utilize in connection with the Flowplayer IP (regardless of whether Flowplayer provides integration or other services at Your request in connection with enabling or utilizing third party products and/or services with the Services). In no event will Flowplayer be responsible or liable for any failure or inability to access Third Party Services, including without limitation that which is caused by changes to Third Party Services (or portions thereof) that affect the integration with or use of the Flowplayer IP or otherwise.

8. Notice and Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringement

Flowplayer respects the intellectual property of others. Flowplayer does not, however, independently confirm that all Content made available through the Service is provided by a valid rights holder. In the event that Flowplayer becomes aware that Content published on or through the Service has been provided by a person who is not a valid rights holder, Flowplayer may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, disable and/or terminate the publication of such Content. If you believe that your work has been copied or published in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide Flowplayer the following information:

1. an electronic or physical signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
2. a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
3. a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located or found on the Website or Service;
4. your address, telephone number and, if available, an email address;
5. a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement by you that the above information provided by you in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright or intellectual property owner.

9. Fees/Taxes

(a) Fees; Payment Terms. In consideration of Your rights under the Contract(s), You shall timely pay Flowplayer the Fees designated in the Contract(s). You agree to purchase the Services indicated in each applicable Contract for the Initial Term stated therein and any renewal terms. All recurring Fees (including without limitation, as applicable to the Contract(s): platform fees, support fees, and bundled use allotment fees (e.g. for transcoding, streaming, delivery, processed content, storage, etc.)) are due and payable in advance, all usage-based fees (e.g., for transcoding, streaming, delivery, processed content, storage, etc. in lieu of or in excess of the prepaid allotments, as applicable) are due and payable monthly in arrears, and all non-recurring Fees (e.g. pursuant to statement(s) of work) are due and payable on the effective date of the order unless otherwise stated in a particular statement of work. Any unused portions of included and/or bundled use allotments that may be stated in the Contract(s) (including without limitation use allotments relating to streams, transcoding, processed content, and/or delivery) will expire at the end of each time increment stated in the Contract(s) and will not rollover to subsequent timeframes or time increments.

If a payment fails multiple times, the subscription will be deactivated and all videos unpublished. You will be notified about this by email and have another 7 days to contact us and solve the issue. After that period, all videos will be deleted and due payments sent to a collecting agency. Flowplayer will not be held responsible for any damage this might cause to your business, or any costs for reuploading videos afterwards.

(b) Taxes. You are solely responsible for all applicable sales, use, import or export taxes, duties, fees, tax due at source (TDS), value-added taxes (VAT), surcharges, tariffs or other amounts attributable to the Services and exploitation of the Content under the Contract(s) and any withholdings of the same required by Flowplayer will be invoiced back to You.

(c) Fees not paid when due shall be subject to a late fee equal to the lesser of two (2.0%) of the unpaid balance per month or the highest monthly rate permitted by applicable law. Flowplayer may, with or without notice, suspend access to the Services and/or terminate the Contract(s) if You are delinquent in paying all or any portion of the Fees. In the event that a Contract is terminated prior to the end of the Term for any reason other than an uncured material breach by Flowplayer, all committed fees for the Term shall become immediately due and owing in full. In addition, You will be liable for any collection costs (including without limitation attorneys fees and other legal fees and expenses, collection agency fees and expenses, court costs, collection bonds, and reasonable staff costs at standard billing rates for time spent in efforts to collect) incurred by Flowplayer and/or its Agents to collect sums due and owing under the Contract(s). After the Initial Term of a Contract or renewal thereof (as applicable), the Fees shall be subject to Flowplayer’s standard pricing changes.

In order to deliver a high performing service, requests to the Flowplayer Platform API (accessed via api.flowplayer.com) may not exceed onehundredtwenty (120) per minute. This number reflects a normal use by a customer, the excess of which would be abusive. Flowplayer reserves the right to immediately suspend accounts that exceed the maximum API requests set forth herein and to terminate, block and/or blacklist such accounts if Flowplayer believes in its reasonable discretion that such excess is due to Customers’s abusive behavior.

16. Entire Agreement

The Contract(s), including these Terms of Services and all URLs incorporated herein (i.e., the Acceptable Use Policy located at www.flowplayer.com/aup, and the Privacy Policy located at www.Flowplayer.com/privacy), constitute the complete and exclusive agreements between You and Flowplayer with respect to its subject matter and supersedes any and all prior written or oral agreement or understanding relating to the same subject matter. In the event of any conflict between or among any Contract executed by both You and Flowplayer and these Terms of Service, the Contract shall control to the extent of such conflict and all other terms and conditions of each shall continue to remain in full force and effect. If any provision of a Contract, including without limitation these Terms of Service is held unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable and such decision shall not affect the enforceability of such provision under other circumstances, or of the remaining provisions hereof under all circumstances. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms of Service, if You procure the Services through one of Flowplayer’s Agents instead of directly from Flowplayer, then Flowplayer has no direct or indirect liability to You in connection with the Services or otherwise regardless of whether Flowplayer hosts the Services. You and Flowplayer are independent contractors and no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency or exclusive relationship exists between You and Flowplayer as a result of the Contract(s) and/or Your use of the Services as authorized thereunder. Any written notice required hereunder may be transmitted via email to the primary email contacts provided or other official email contacts available to a party if such email contacts are no longer relevant due to employee departure or otherwise. A Contract may only be modified by written amendment signed by authorized representatives of both You and Flowplayer. All waivers must be made in writing and the failure of You or Flowplayer to enforce any right or provision in a Contract or in these Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver on one occasion shall not imply or constitute a waiver on any other occasion. Flowplayer shall not be responsible for any failure to perform, or delay in performing any of its obligations under a Contract or these Terms of Service to the extent that such a failure or delay results from force majeure causes beyond its control, such as acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of the government in its sovereign or contractual capacity, fires, floods, epidemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, strikes, civil commotion, or the like. You may not transfer or assign these Terms of Service or any rights or obligations hereunder, directly or indirectly, by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior written consent of Flowplayer and any such assignment shall be null and void from the beginning. The Contract(s), including without limitation these Terms of Service, shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon Flowplayer’s or Your respective permitted successors and assigns.
