ENTITIES AND ENTITY ACCOUNTS

Details:

Where an Entity (including a corporate or educator user) uses the Services to collect and process an individual’s personal data (including videos that identify a person):

The responsibility of ensuring compliance with the privacy law that applies to the Entity lies with the Entity, specifically:

The Entity may be required to issue an appropriate ‘collection statement’ (also called a ‘privacy notice’) in accordance with the privacy law that applies to the Entity, and
Having regard to the Entity’s ‘collection statement’, the Entity should only use or disclose personal data in a manner consistent with the data protection law that applies to the Entity, and
In accordance with the data protection law that applies to the Entity, the Entity may be required to collect an appropriate form of consent for the collection, use or disclosure of certain personal data, and
Where an Entity collects and processes a child’s personal data, the Entity is responsible for notifying and obtaining adequate parental consent.
We are not liable for unauthorised access, use, disclosure or loss of User Content or any personal data made in error by the Entity resulting from the Entity’s access and use of the Platform and the Services, and
An Entity’s failure to use, or a decision to disable, any privacy enhancing features of the Services or tools is at the Entity’s own risk and liability.

Where an Entity asks us for our cooperation in order to fulfil a legal obligation that applies to the Entity (e.g. investigating a data breach event), we will reasonably assist in a manner consistent with the Terms and our obligations under Australian privacy law or other data protection laws as applicable.

An Entity may seek clarification of the Terms and our approach to privacy as set out in the Privacy Policy (e.g. where the Entity is conducting a Privacy Impact Assessment to fulfil an obligation set out in the privacy law that applies to them). This cannot and does not alter or limit the Terms.

Where Clipchamp processes User Content or any personal data of Entity Accounts as a data processor on behalf of an Entity established in the EU (“EU Entity”), the EU Entity and Clipchamp shall be subject to and comply with the Clipchamp Addendum in Respect of Privacy and Data Processing, which forms part of these Terms.

These Terms are not agreed or valid, and an EU Entity is not permitted to use the Services, until Clipchamp has been provided with an executed Addendum in Respect of Privacy and Data Processing.

Where an Entity seeks to enter into an agreement with Clipchamp in respect of privacy to fulfil an obligation set out in the privacy law that applies to their Entity (e.g. a Data Processing Agreement, or some other agreement), any such agreement cannot and does not alter or limit these Terms.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, no refunds will be made upon termination in accordance with this clause.
Account Owner termination for breach: You may terminate your Account and these Terms immediately if we are in material breach of these Terms and you provide notice to us of this material breach and within 10 days of receiving such notice from you, we have not remedied the material breach.

These Terms will remain in effect while you use the Service. Upon termination, your account will close immediately, and/or your right to access and use the Service will end immediately. Even after your rights under these Terms are terminated, all provisions of these Terms which by their nature should survive, will survive, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, release and binding arbitration and class action waiver.

NOTICES

Highlights: Clipchamp respects the intellectual property of others and asks that Users do the same.

Details:

Notices of Infringement. If you wish to send a notice of intellectual property infringement, including claims of copyright infringement, please use our procedures for submitting Notices of Infringement. ONLY INQUIRIES RELEVANT TO THIS PROCEDURE WILL RECEIVE A RESPONSE.

Clipchamp uses the processes set out in Title 17, United States Code, Section 512 to respond to notices of copyright infringement. In appropriate circumstances, we may also disable or terminate accounts of users of the Services who may be repeat infringers.

DISPUTES - BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

Highlights: If there is a dispute between us and you, we would like to meet with you and attempt to resolve the dispute. If we cannot resolve the dispute informally, and if you live or are a business in Australia or the United States, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration and not to sue in court before a judge or jury.

FOR AUSTRALIAN USERS

Details: In the event of any dispute arising from, or in connection with, these Terms (Dispute), the party claiming there is a Dispute must give written notice to the other party setting out the details of the Dispute and proposing a resolution. Within 7 days after receiving the notice, the parties must meet at least once to attempt to resolve the Dispute or agree on the method of resolving the Dispute by other means, in good faith. All aspects of every such conference, except the fact of the occurrence of the conference, will be privileged. If the parties do not resolve the Dispute or (if the Dispute is not resolved) agree on an alternate method to resolve the Dispute, within 21 days after receipt of the notice, the Dispute may be referred by either party (by notice in writing to the other party) to arbitration administered by the Australian Centre for International Commercial Arbitration (ACICA), with such arbitration to be conducted in Brisbane, Queensland, in English and in accordance with the ACICA Arbitration Rules. The costs of the arbitration will be shared equally between the parties and the determination of the arbitrator will be final and binding.

FOR UNITED STATES USERS

Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver If You Live In (or, If a Business, Your Principal Place of Business Is In) the United States. We hope we never have a dispute, but if we do, you and we agree to try for 60 days to resolve it informally. If we can’t, you and we agree to binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under the Federal Arbitration Act ("FAA"), and not to sue in court in front of a judge or jury. Instead, a neutral arbitrator will decide and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of review under the FAA. Class action lawsuits, class-wide arbitrations, private attorney-general actions, and any other proceeding where someone acts in a representative capacity aren’t allowed. Nor is combining individual proceedings without the consent of all parties.

In this section, “we”, “us” and “our” includes Clipchamp and its affiliates, including Microsoft.
Disputes Covered—Everything Except IP. The term "dispute" is as broad as it can be. It includes any claim or controversy between you and us concerning the Services, the software related to the Services, the Services’ or software’s price, your account, advertising, marketing, communications, your purchase transaction, billing, or these Terms, under any legal theory including contract, warranty, tort, statute, or regulation, except disputes relating to the enforcement or validity of your, your licensors’, our, or our licensors’ intellectual property rights.
Mail a Notice of Dispute First. If you have a dispute and our customer service representatives can’t resolve it, send a Notice of Dispute by U.S. Mail to Microsoft Corporation, ATTN: CELA Arbitration, One Microsoft Way, Redmond, WA 98052-6399, U.S.A. Tell us your name, address, how to contact you, what the problem is, and what you want. A form is available at https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=245499. We’ll do the same if we have a dispute with you. After 60 days, you or we may start an arbitration if the dispute is unresolved.
Small Claims Court Option. Instead of mailing a Notice of Dispute, you may sue us in small claims court in your county of residence (or, if a business, your principal place of business) or King County, Washington, U.S.A. if you meet the court’s requirements.
Arbitration Procedure. The AAA will conduct any arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (or if you are an individual and use the Services for personal or household use, or if the value of the dispute is $75,000 or less whether or not you are an individual or how you use the Services, its Consumer Arbitration Rules). For more information, see www.adr.org or call 1-800-778-7879. In a dispute involving $25,000 or less, any hearing will be telephonic unless the arbitrator finds good cause to hold an in-person hearing instead. Any in-person hearing will take place in your county of residence (or, if a business, your principal place of business) or in King County, Washington. You choose. The arbitrator may award the same damages to you individually as a court could. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only to you individually to satisfy your individual claim. Under AAA Rules, the arbitrator rules on his or her own jurisdiction, including the arbitrability of any claim. But a court has exclusive authority to enforce the prohibition on arbitration on a class-wide basis or in a representative capacity.
Arbitration Fees and Payments. Disputes Involving $75,000 or Less. We will promptly reimburse your filing fees and pay the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If you reject our last written settlement offer made before the arbitrator was appointed, your dispute goes all the way to an arbitrator’s decision (called an "award"), and the arbitrator awards you more than this last written offer, we will: (i) pay the greater of the award or $1,000; (ii) pay your reasonable attorney’s fees, if any; and (iii) reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that your attorney reasonably accrues for investigating, preparing, and pursuing your claim in arbitration.
Disputes Involving More than $75,000. The AAA rules will govern payment of filing fees and the AAA’s and arbitrator’s fees and expenses.
Conflict with AAA Rules. These Terms govern to the extent they conflict with the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules or Consumer Arbitration Rules.
Must File Within One Year. You and we must file in small claims court or arbitration any claim or dispute (except intellectual property disputes—see the subsection on Disputes Covered - Everything Except IP, above) within one year from when it first could be filed. Otherwise, it’s permanently barred.
Rejecting Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change we make to this section by sending us notice within 30 days of the change by U.S. Mail to the address listed above. If you do, the most recent version of this section before the change you rejected will apply.
Severability. If the class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a dispute, then those parts won’t be arbitrated but will proceed in court, with the rest proceeding in arbitration. If any other provision of this section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed but the rest of this section still applies.

Highlights: If you need help with video editing, we may be able to provide you with support. You can get in contact with us on our website.

No competitors are allowed to use Clipchamp.

If we change these Terms, we will let you know.

In the event of a disaster or pandemic, we may not be able to provide our Platform and Services to you.

Details:

Support: If your Plan entitles you to technical support, we will provide that technical support to you, provided that where required, you assist us in investigating and ascertaining the cause of the fault and provide us with access to all necessary information relevant to the fault (including what you have done in relation to the fault).
No competitors: You are prohibited from using the Services, including the Platform and the Content, in any way that competes with our business. If you breach this term, we will hold you responsible for Liability we suffer, and hold you accountable for any profits that you may make from non-permitted use.
Variation: We may modify these Terms from time to time and will provide you with notice by email or by updating the date on these Terms or via an in-Platform notification. Where the modification is significant or may materially affect your rights, we will provide detailed notice. When you next log in to the Platform or on expiration of any stated notice period for such modification, you will be deemed to agree to the modified terms if you commence use of the Services. If you do not agree to the modifications, you must terminate your Account and these Terms and cease using the Services. In the event that you have paid for an Annual Plan and we modify these Terms and this modification has a material adverse impact on you, you may terminate your Account and these Terms and we will provide a pro-rata refund to you for any Plan Fees paid in advance by you in connection with the unused portion of the Services.
Assignment: You may not assign, transfer or delegate your rights and obligations under the Terms without our prior written consent. We may without restriction assign, transfer or delegate our rights and obligations under these Terms with notice to you.
Force Majeure: We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform our obligations under these Terms if such delay or failure is due to any Force Majeure Event.
Severance: The provisions of these Terms are severable and if any provision of these Terms is held to be void, invalid, illegal or unenforceable, that provision is severed from these Terms without affecting the validity or enforceability of the remainder of that provision or the other provisions in these Terms. The subsection on Severability at the end of the Disputes section says what happens if parts of the Disputes section (binding arbitration and class action waiver) are found to be illegal or unenforceable. The Disputes section prevails over this section if inconsistent with it.
Choice of Law and Place to Resolve Disputes:
- Everywhere Except the United States. Your use of the Services and these Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia.
- United States. If you live in (or, if a business, your principal place of business is in) the United States, the laws of the state where you live (or, if a business, where your principal place of business is located) govern your use of the Services, these Terms, and all claims, regardless of conflict of laws principles, except that the Federal Arbitration Act governs all provisions relating to arbitration. You and we irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the state or federal courts in King County, Washington, for all disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Services that are heard in court (excluding arbitration and small claims court).

APPENDIX 1

STORYBLOCKS EULA

End User License Agreement

A. Your Rights. We (Footage Firm, Inc., the operator of Storyblocks.com, graphicstock.com, and audioblocks.com) grant you a perpetual, worldwide, limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to incorporate the Stock Files you obtain from us into a work you create. You may incorporate our Stock Files into any project, including feature films, broadcast, commercial, educational, print, multimedia, games, merchandise, and the internet. Once you incorporate a Stock File into your project, you can share your finished project freely, but you may not share the underlying individual Stock File as a standalone file with a third party. (However, you can share the Stock Files with your client or other third party for the limited purpose of getting their help with your specific project, assuming you are adding substantial value to the project apart from the Stock Files. Otherwise, they need their own license.) You also agree to use your best efforts to secure the Stock File from being accessed by a third party as a standalone file, but since that’s not always possible, your inability to prevent copying will not be considered a breach of this License.

B. Our Guarantee. We promise that if you use our Stock Files as described in this License, your use will not infringe on the rights (such as copyrights) of a third party (the “Limited Warranty”). We’ll also put our money where our mouth is. In fact, we will provide you up to $20,000 in indemnification if you incur any direct damages from our breaking this promise. Because that’s a big number, we need to make a few things clear, so here come some capital letters. IN NO EVENT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL WE BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND. OUR MAXIMUM AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL BREACHES OF THE LIMITED WARRANTY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF THE ACTUAL, DIRECT DAMAGES SUFFERED BY YOU DIRECTLY ARISING FROM SUCH BREACH AND TWENTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.

Note that trademarks, logos, or copyrights depicted within our Stock Files are not covered by this guarantee. For example, if one of our videos depicts someone holding a brand-name beverage, that label may be protected by copyright and trademark law and should be used at your own risk. (We wouldn’t want you to think that this License lets you reprint Coca-Cola cans.)

C. Limitations. There are a few other limitations we have put in place to protect our artists and other customers:

1. You cannot sell, license, or redistribute our Stock Files, nor can you build your own stock media site with our files. You cannot create a trademark or logo based on our Stock Files. You cannot use automation, such as computer scripts, to download or “scrape” high volumes of our Stock Files. Finally, you cannot use the Stock Files to harm minors, to encourage violence, or for an unlawful purpose, such as defamation.

2. For Stock Files that depict identifiable people (“Models”), you must not depict the Models in a way that a reasonable person would find offensive. Just to be clear, the issue is whether the depiction of the Models themselves is offensive, not whether your project as a whole may be offensive. For example, you could use Stock Files with Models in a documentary about a rare and embarrassing medical condition, but you should not depict the Models in a way that suggests they personally carry the condition, unless our video clip already depicts them that way.

3. For our audio Stock Files, your license does not restrict your right of public performance, but a cue sheet may be required to satisfy the requirements of Performance Rights Organizations (“PROs”). Also, this License allowed you to use our audio clips in YouTube videos, but since we are not associated with YouTube, we cannot prevent other people from incorrectly claiming that your video violates a copyright. If you get such a claim, let us know, and we will make our best efforts to help you resolve the problem. Still, platforms like YouTube could block your content for reasons beyond our control.

4. Some Stock Files may have additional restrictions, such as “editorial use only,” which will be noted in the clip’s details.

D. Other Legal Provisions. This part may not be fun to read, but it’s important nevertheless.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, excluding its body of law relating to conflicts of law and copyright law. If any provision of this Agreement is found invalid, the other provisions will not be affected. Except for claims brought in small claims court, all disputes about this Agreement will be settled by arbitration pursuant to the rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), subject to the Federal Arbitration Act. The dispute may be arbitrated either by JAMS or AAA. You are thus GIVING UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that may be taken to small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to VERY LIMITED REVIEW BY A COURT.
