3.1 Video Editing Services

(a) To request Video Editing Services, Company must firstly create and upload all Content that it desires to include as part of a particular Compilation to the Platform, and then submit such Content to VidLoft through the Platform (each, a “Submission”). VidLoft shall have no obligation to accept Submissions outside of the Platform.

(d) Upon receiving a Submission, VidLoft will confirm receipt thereof, and it will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Compilation to Company within the number of days specified as part of Company’s specific Subscription level (the “Turnaround Period”). Unless expressly confirmed otherwise by VidLoft on a case-by-case basis, the Turnaround Period expressly excludes weekends and federal holidays in the United States of America. Company expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Turnaround Period by VidLoft is not guaranteed and is provided on a commercially reasonable-efforts basis.

(e) Upon completing the Compilation, VidLoft shall provide the Compilation to Company for its review and approval by making it available in Platform Data Storage or otherwise to an End User, as appropriate. Company shall have ten (10) days to review the Compilation (the “Review Period”), and either accept it (an “Acceptance”) or to submit a revision request for the Compilation via the Platform (each, a “Revision Request”). Upon receiving a Revision Request, Company shall have a renewed Turnaround Period to make the requested changes and once again re-submit the Compilation to Company. Company shall, once again have the duration of the Review Period to review the Compilation and either accept it or submit another Revision Request.

Accordingly, the scope and quality of each Compilation provided by VidLoft shall be subject to, and limited by, the quality and scope of the original Content files VidLoft receives from Company as part of the corresponding Submission. VidLoft shall be under no obligation to re-create or substantially alter or customize any Content. 

(g) Company acknowledges and agrees that VidLoft shall have the right to final creative control with respect to its Video Editing Services and other Platform Services relating to Content comprising a Submission, for the purpose of providing to Company a production-quality Compilation. As a result, certain portions of the Content may be edited, enhanced, cut, or omitted, as determined by VidLoft in its sole discretion.   

(h) VidLoft agrees to exercise reasonable care and judgment in reviewing Submissions made by Company. If all or any portion of the Content submitted is missing, corrupted, defective, or, in VidLoft’s reasonable judgment, of a quality that will not yield a successful Compilation, VidLoft will notify Company thereof. Company shall then have the ability to re-submit Content or submit additional Content, or to request that VidLoft proceed with the original Content provided in the Submission. Upon such an event, the Turnaround Period shall pause, and VidLoft will take no further action until receiving either the required Content or instructions to proceed as-is from Company. IF COMPANY ELECTS TO ISSUE INSTRUCTIONS TO PROCEED WITH VIDEO EDITING SERVICES DESPITE VIDLOFT’S OBJECTIONS ABOUT THE QUALITY, TYPE, OR SCOPE OF THE CONTENT AVAILABLE, VIDLOFT HEREBY DISCLAIMS AND ALL RESPONSIBILITY AND WARRANTIES FOR THE QUALITY, COMPLETION LEVEL, OR ANY OTHER ATTRIBUTE OF THE RESULTING COMPILATION.

For all Fees occurring on a recurring basis, Company agrees to provide VidLoft with a bank account and/or a payment card for use as a payment method; Company further expressly authorizes VidLoft to withdraw funds from the bank account and/or charge the payment card provided by Company for the full amount of the Fees, on or about each Billing Date on a recurring basis, until Company terminates this Agreement or affirmatively cancels the Subscription for which the Fees are collected, in accordance with this Agreement.

(b) All Fees paid by Company under this Agreement, including all prepayments, are final and are non-refundable for any reason, even in the event of early termination or cancellation of a Subscription.

 

6.3 Acceleration. In the event of termination of this Agreement for any reason other than termination by Company due to breach by VidLoft, the due dates for payment of all Fees (including for all Subscriptions) will automatically be accelerated so that they become due and payable on the date of termination, even if longer terms had been provided previously.

Company’s late payments will accrue interest in the amount of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum interest allowed under applicable law, whichever is less, on all balances not paid when due on account of all invoices which are not reasonably in dispute. Company shall reimburse VidLoft for all costs incurred by VidLoft in collecting any late payments or interest, including attorneys’ fees, in an amount not to exceed fifteen percent (15.0%) or the maximum amount allowed under applicable law, whichever is less, of the outstanding amount owed, court costs and collection agency fees. VidLoft may, at its option, upon notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure, suspend Company’s access to the Platform, Subscriptions, use of Credits, and provision of the Services, in whole or in part, if VidLoft does not receive all amounts which are due and owing, and not reasonably in dispute, under the Agreement when due; provided that it shall restore normal services promptly upon the clearance of any such disputed amounts.

Company will provide VidLoft with official receipts issued by the appropriate taxing authority or such other evidence as is reasonably requested by VidLoft to establish that such taxes have been paid. The Parties shall reasonably cooperate to more accurately determine each Party’s tax liability and to minimize such liability to the extent legally permissible.
