Vimeo OTT Terms of Service

Last updated: Jan 8th, 2019

Overview

This Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and VHX Corporation (for the purposes hereof, “Vimeo,” “we” or “us”), a subsidiary of Vimeo, Inc. The Agreement governs your use of our service (the “Vimeo OTT Service”), which allows consumers like you to purchase video programs (“Programs”) and subscriptions to video channels from content producers (“Producers”) through Producer websites and applications that we power.

When you use the Vimeo OTT Service by, for example, making a purchase, creating an account with us or a Producer, or using a Producer website or application, you agree to this Agreement. Please note that by accepting this Agreement, you agree to resolve claims between you and Vimeo and applicable Producers through binding arbitration.

Account Registration

To make a purchase, you must create an account with Vimeo and the Producer. Each time that you make a purchase with a new Producer, you must create an account with that Producer.

To create an account, you must provide a valid email address. You represent and warrant that all information you provide is accurate. You are solely responsible for maintaining the security of your account and for all activity that occurs under your account. You must notify us immediately if you suspect any unauthorized access to or use of your account.

You may not create an account if you are younger than 16 years of age. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 16 years of age. Individuals younger than 16 may only view Programs via their parent or legal guardian's account, and with that adult's consent, permission, supervision and involvement.

Privacy

Vimeo’s policies concerning the information we collect about you, how we use it, and with whom we share are set forth in our Privacy Policy.

By creating an account with a Producer, you agree that the Producer will have access to your account information and account activities, such as the viewing and purchase of the Producer’s Programs. Producers are subject to our Acceptable Consumer Privacy Practices Policy. Vimeo is not responsible for a Producer’s use or disclosure of your data.

Program Viewing and Transaction Options

Producers may offer the following purchase options through Producer-branded websites and applications:

  • Rental: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times during the stated rental period.
  • Purchase: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times; if offered by the Producer, you may download the Program.
  • Subscription: For a recurring fee, you may stream the Programs offered within a Producer’s subscription channel an unlimited number of times during your subscription period. The Producer may add or remove Programs from the channel at any time.

You are responsible for obtaining Internet access and a compatible, Internet-connected device to stream and/or download Programs via Producer websites and applications. The quality of your viewing experience depends on a number of factors, including your viewing device and the quality of your Internet connection.

Payments

To make a purchase, you must provide a valid payment method. Subscriptions automatically renew for the subscription period until you cancel. Your payment method will be charged at the beginning of each subscription period. If a Purchaser offers a free-trial period, your payment method will be charged at the end of the free-trial period unless you cancel before the end of that period. To pause or cancel a subscription, visit your account settings. Your changes will be applied to your next subscription period.

We may apply taxes, including VAT (value-added tax), to any charges. Prices and other terms of purchase are subject to change. If a Producer provides you access to a Program on a free basis, such access will be deemed a “purchase” for the purpose of this Agreement.

ALL PURCHASES, INCLUDING RECURRING CHARGES, ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

Licenses and Intellectual Property

License to Programs: Subject to the terms hereof, you have the right to stream and/or (if offered) download for your personal entertainment purposes: (i) Programs that you have rented during the stated rental period; (ii) Programs that you have purchased; and (iii) Programs made available within a channel that you have subscribed to during your subscription period.

You may not resell streams or downloads, use any Program for any commercial purpose, redistribute or retransmit any Program, publicly perform or display any Program, or make derivative works from any Program. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the applicable Producer.

Vimeo OTT Service: Subject to the terms hereof, Vimeo grants you permission to use the Vimeo Service, for the purpose of purchasing and viewing Programs for your personal entertainment. All rights not expressly granted by Vimeo are reserved.

If you download a Producer application that we power (an “app”) that operates on a third party platform (e.g., iOS, Roku): (i) you have the right to use such app for your personal, non-commercial use on devices permitted by the platform operator; (ii) as between Vimeo and the platform operator (but without creating any obligation by Vimeo), Vimeo shall be responsible for the apps and their content and providing any warranty, support, or indemnification with respect to such apps as required by law; and (iii) the platform operator shall have the right to enforce the terms of this clause with respect to your use of the app.

Your Content: To the extent that you submit any content to Vimeo, you grant Vimeo an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right and license to use, copy, adapt, transmit, distribute, license, and publicly perform and display such content in all media for any purpose whatsoever. If you provide any feedback about improving Vimeo, we will have the right to use your feedback without compensation to you. You represent and warrant that any content you submit to Vimeo does not, and will not, violate any law or any third party’s rights, including any intellectual property rights.

Third Party Rights (Copyright Policy): We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. Any party that believes that its copyrights (or other intellectual property) have been infringed is directed to file a takedown notice pursuant to our Copyright Policy.

Disclaimers

YOUR USE OF THE VIMEO OTT SERVICE AND ANY PROGRAM IS AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, Vimeo, its parent, directors, officers, employees, representatives, consultants, agents, suppliers, and partners (including Producers) shall not be liable for (i) any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses; (ii) damages relating to any dispute between you and a Producer or other Vimeo user; or (iii) damages exceeding the greater of USD $100 or the amounts paid by you to Vimeo over the 12 months preceding the filing of your claim.
