DESCRIPTION OF OTT ARENA’S SERVICES AND ACCEPTANCE OF THE TERMS OF USE
Welcome to OTT Arena, a video service operated by OTT Arena (“OTT Arena”, “we,” or “us”). OTT Arena is a taped programming and SVOD video service operated by us. This document, the “Terms of Use” or “Agreement”, describes the terms on which users (“you,” “your,” or “Users)”) are authorized to the website, OTT Arena the application(s) (“Apps)”), and the OTT Arena content provided on sites, Apps, and platforms operated by us (collectively, the “Services”), and to use videos, video clips, text, and other content provided on or through the Services, whether or not owned by OTT Arena (collectively, “Content”). -
OUR CHANGES TO THE TERMS OF USE
We may change these Terms of Use at any time, so we encourage you to review the Terms of Use periodically before using the Services. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions set forth in Governing Law and Jurisdiction and Arbitration sections below will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or prior to the date the change is posted on our website and Apps. To assist you in reviewing the Terms of Use, we will make the most recent version available on our website and Apps and we will indicate at the top of the Terms of Use the most recent date when they were modified. If you continue to use the Services after we modify the Terms of Use, your use indicates your agreement to the new Terms of Use. Therefore, it is important that you read this page regularly to ensure you are familiar with the most updated Terms of Use. If you do not agree to the changes, you should not continue to use the Services. -
SCOPE OF YOUR LICENSE TO USE THE SERVICES
The Service is purchased as a seasonal subscription or as access to a single piece of Content (separately, and collectively, “Paid Access”). Each Paid Access covers a single User. Subject to your ongoing compliance with this Agreement (including timely payment of all applicable fees), we grant you a non-exclusive, non-transferable right during the Term to use the Service. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service available to you and perform in accordance with this Agreement, as may be updated from time to time by OTT Arena.
This agreement does not authorize you to make a use of the Services or the Content that is designed to generate revenue, nor does it authorize you to distribute or redistribute any portion of the Services, including Content. This agreement does not authorize you to broadcast using now known and later developed, whether by open or closed system, any of the Content on the Services.
For the purpose of these Terms of Use, use of the Services is considered revenue generating if a third party is invited or required to pay money, including for a subscription, in order to access the Services or Content. Without limitation, the following practices are deemed revenue generating for the purpose of these Terms of Use:
3.1. of subscription or the requirement of any payment or consideration in exchange for access to the Services or any website that includes Content;
3.2. of the Services or Content in commercial publications, including books, newspapers, magazines, documentaries, films, news reports, news features, and similar material; and
3.3. the Services or incorporating the Services or Content into any third-party service for the purpose of developing a service that competes with us or the Services, or for the purpose of learning about the Services in anticipation of the development of such a service
By using the Services, you agree to waive any rights that you may otherwise have to use the Content in a manner that is not specifically authorized by these Terms of Use or in a separate written agreement with OTT Arena.
Because our ability to provide to you is limited by the scope of the licenses that we hold, we may restrict your ability to access certain Content in order to comply with our licenses. You agree not to attempt to defeat or avoid geographic or other access restrictions, and you agree to comply with any request by us that you specified Content.
If you wish to use the Services or Content in a manner that is prohibited by these Terms of Use, please contact us at ______________ (subject line: “CONTENT USAGE”) to discuss licensing options. -
REGISTRATION
Certain features or portions of the Services may be restricted to users that have registered with us (“Restricted Areas”) and have received a username and password through which they are authorized to access these Restricted Areas. You agree not to access Restricted Areas except using your own username and password, and you agree not to share your user name and password with anyone else. If, despite your agreement not to do so, you share your username and password with another person or if another person accesses the Services using your user name and password without your permission, you agree to take full responsibility for the statements and actions of that other person, and for any damages caused by, resulting from, or accruing in connection with that other person’s use of the Services. You agree to notify us immediately, by email to ___________ (subject line: “UNAUTHORIZED REGISTRATION ISSUE”), if you become aware of any unauthorized use of your password or username, or any other breach of security, so that we may terminate access to the Services through such account.
