Who can use Videomat?

The Service is solely intended for those who have full legal capacity.

If you are a natural person, you need to be at the age of majority (legal age) to be able to use the Service. Legal age depends on the national legislation applicable to the User (probably you need to be 18 years old). By using the Service, you represent that you are of legal age. If you are not at the required age, please stop using the Service or Videomat immediately.

The Service is primarily aimed at businesses and companies. However, if you are using our Services as a natural person for a purpose unrelated to trade, business or profession and wish to rely on consumer protection legislation, you need to notify us before you start using the Service and before subscribing to any Paid Plan. In the event a User fails to send such notification to Videomat, the User will not be able to rely on any applicable consumer law and will not be able to invoke any consumer rights (including the right to withdraw from the Agreement).

Subscribers on behalf of the Enterprise and the authorized Users of the Enterprise are jointly responsible for the authorized Users’ use of the Services. Any violation of the TOU by any of the authorized Users shall be deemed to be a violation thereof by the Enterprise and by the authorized User of the Enterprise.

The Service is not aimed at marketing or art agencies producing videos as part of their services for their clients.

We reserve the right to terminate this licence at any time for any reason.

Restrictions on Service Rights. 

Copies of the Video content created pursuant to this Agreement are licensed, not sold, and User receives no title to or ownership of any copy of the Video Productions itself. Furthermore, User receives no rights to the Software other than those specifically granted in the first paragraph of this Section. In addition to the restrictions set out in Section Acceptable Use Policy (AUP), and without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you shall not:

(a) modify, adapt, edit or create derivative works from the Video Productions created using Videomat;

(b) sell or sublicense the Video Productions created using Videomat to any third parties as your own products.

Additional terms applying to use of the Video Productions created using Videomat and/or any Content that is available to use as part of our Services are contained in the Licence Agreement available at www.videomat.com/license-agreement/.

Subscription & Plans

By creating User Account at Videomat you automatically start your Free Plan. You may choose to switch from the Free Plan to any Paid Plan at any time. Once you choose to do so, we start to apply the respective subscription fees in accordance with the applicable Paid Plan.

If you have registered to use our Services using our Free Plan (non-paid plan), then you may use our Services only for non-commercial purposes.

Anyone who subscribes to any Paid Plan will be liable for the payment arising from such a subscription.

Each Plan is connected to a single Account.

You can be subscribed only to one plan at a time in your Account.

Upon subscription to a new plan the previous plan is cancelled irretrievably at the time of subscription or purchase, and the download limits held under the previous plan do not transfer to the new plan.

If you do not plan to renew your subscription, you can cancel it at any time. Cancellation means that the next payment will not be charged and your subscription will be valid until the end of paid period. You can use the Services according to the purchased plan until your cancellation is effective. It will have “Pending cancellation” status. Once the subscription period has expired, the Plan will be cancelled automatically.

The only case when your Plan is cancelled immediately is when you subscribe to another Plan.

Cancellation of any paid plan does not mean that your media resources or projects will be deleted. They will be available to use within the limits of the new Plan (free or paid). 

We reserve the right to delete your uploaded content and resources after 3 months of not using the Services, but only if you have FREE plan. In case of paid plans we do not delete any of your content or resources until your subscription expires even if you do not log into your account. The Content cannot be recovered once it is deleted.

Monthly and Yearly Subscriptions

The subscription for a paid plan can be either monthly or annual.

The subscription fee for the Videomat Services will be charged on a monthly or yearly basis on the exact calendar day and hour corresponding to the commencement of the paying portion of your subscription. In some cases, your payment date may change, for example, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled or if your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month.

For monthly subscriptions: If you buy a monthly plan on 5th July at 10:55 a.m., it will be valid exactly until 5th August at 10:55 a.m. and at this moment it will be charged further in case of automatic payments or cancelled in case of manual payments if the payment is not settled by this time. At the same time, in case of a successful payment, all monthly limits, such as number of film previews or downloads will be reset and you will have again full range of monthly benefits to use. The next subscription period can be paid in advance, before the current subscription ends. In this case, your subscription will be extended for a period in proportion to the payment made.

For yearly subscriptions: If you buy a yearly plan on 5th July 2020 at 10:55 a.m., it will be valid exactly until 5th July 2021 10:55 a.m.. By yearly plan you are bound by the monthly limits of video previews or number of downloads. That means that at 10:55 on 5th of August your monthly benefit limit will be renewed. There will be no payments charged, as you paid for the whole year in advance. Next payment will be charged exactly after 1 year –  on 5th July 2021.

Number of monthly benefit limits are explicitly defined in each plan. All the information about the plans and limits you will find at www.videomat.com/pricing/

The limits are not transferrable to the next period, which means, that if you do not use your monthly benefit limits in the current month, they will not be transferred to the next month. 

Storage limits, by their nature, do not change and do not sum up during all the subscription periods. When you excess the storage limit, you will not be able to upload new assets nor create new previews until you release some of your data storage by deleting your existing assets in the application.

Payment

Paid Plans are charged either monthly or annually, as chosen upon subscription.

All payments for the Paid Plan are due in advance by the first day of the billing period.

Upon registering for a paid Plan, you will be required to designate a valid payment method. You hereby authorize Videomat to charge to your designated account all Fees relating to the Services you select, and you agree to pay all such Fees in accordance with the applicable payment method terms and conditions.

Subscriber must keep all the billing data complete and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number or credit card expiration date) and must promptly notify Videomat if payment method has changed (for example, for loss or theft) or if Subscriber becomes aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of name or password. If Subscriber fails to provide any of the foregoing information, he agrees that Videomat may continue charging for any use of the Service unless Subscriber has terminated Agreement as set forth herein.

All sums payable to Videomat hereunder shall be paid in full, without deducting or allowing the deduction of any currency conversion, wire transfer, remittance, applicable tax or other charges related to the payment.

The payment of the Service shall be made before the commencement of the Subscription Term.

If your Paid Plan involves a recurring payment of a fee, unless you notify us before a charge that you want to cancel or do not want to automatically renew your membership or subscription, you understand it will automatically continue and you authorize us (without notice to you, unless required by the applicable law) to collect the then-applicable fees and any taxes using any credit card we have on record for you.

If your default payment instrument is declined for any reason, we may deny access to the Paid Plan immediately.

The fees presented on the website and in the pricelist are exclusive of any VAT, unless Videomat has explicitly stated to the contrary. It is each User’s responsibility to bear VAT duties related to the purchase of the Service.

All payments are handled by a third-party payment gateway. Videomat is not responsible for the processing of Subscriber’s payment and shall not be liable for any matter in connection therewith. Videomat does not store any of your payment data such as credit card numbers, CVCs, PayPal / Stripe login credentials. 

Paid fees are non-refundable. If the Agreement of a Paid Plan is terminated or varied during a certain billing period, the User shall not be entitled to any refund concerning that billing period. In addition, payments made for the future billing periods will not be refunded unless the Parties explicitly agree otherwise.

Plan Free does not require providing any payment method. 

We do not offer any Trial or Refund periods for paid plans. If you want to test our services we advise you to use our Free Plan, which has all the functionalities of Paid Plans but has a limited range of use. A detailed description of the plans can be found at www.videomat.com/pricing/.

We reserve the right to revise the Fees, including by increasing or adding new Fees, at any time on ten (10) days’ notice. Such notice may be sent to you by email to your most recently provided email address or posted on the Site or by any other manner chosen by Videomat in its commercially reasonable discretion. You will be deemed to have received any such notice that is posted on the Site on the day it was posted. Your use of the Services after the ten (10) day notice period constitutes your acceptance of the new or revised Fees. If you do not agree to the revised Fees, you may cancel your subscription.

For automated payment methods such as credit cards, PayPal or other payment gateways, the plan is activated within a maximum of 5 minutes of successful completion of the payment process.

In case of payment by wire transfer, the plan will not be activated in User’s account until the payment is registered on our bank account. It may take up to 2 working days from the transfer’s receipt.

Termination and refund policy

This Agreement shall continue until you cancel your subscription, until the end of the subscription period or until terminated by Videomat. You may cancel your subscription at any time. If you cancel after your subscription renewal date, you will not receive a refund for any amounts that have been charged. Your cancellation will be effective at the end of your then-current subscription period, subject to applicable law, and you may use the Services until your cancellation is effective (unless your access is suspended or terminated as set forth below).

Videomat may terminate these Terms and/or deny you access to all or any part of the Services (including without limitation the right to receive support and update services) or terminate your account immediately at our sole discretion with or without prior notice.

Upon termination of your account by us for any reason, your right to use the Services and to access the Site and any of its content will immediately cease and all content in your account will be deleted. All provisions of this Agreement that by their nature should survive termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, indemnity, limitations of liability and miscellaneous provisions.

Except as may be expressly set forth herein, all Fees paid or accrued in connection with any Services are non-refundable, and Videomat will not prorate any Fees paid for a subscription that is terminated before the end of its term.

We shall not be liable for any damage caused to you or any third-party as a result of terminating these Terms or by suspending or otherwise limiting your use of the Services.

Cancellation

You are solely responsible for properly cancelling your paid account. You can cancel your paid account at any time at your Account site. An email or phone request to cancel your paid account is not considered a cancellation. The only exception is when our service is not available and you cannot cancel the subscription in your account. 

If you cancel the Service before the end of your current paid up month, you can continue using the Service until the end of your paid subscription period. You will not be charged again after cancelling.

In the event of an outage, you may not be able to retrieve Your Content or Data that you’ve stored. 

If our Service will be unavailable for reasons beyond our control (e.g. power outage, server failure, hacking attack, etc.), then due to the service interruption, a customer subscribed to a paid Plan is entitled to extend the subscription by the time of downtime.

If the unavailability of Services becomes permanent (i.e. Service cannot be activated again, Service had at least 3 downtimes longer than 24 hours each), then the customer subscribed to the paid Plan is entitled to a refund in proportion to the unused part of the Service.

The decision to extend the subscription or refund due to the unavailability of the service will be made upon considering a written request from the customer.

Subscribers of a Free Plan are not entitled to any changes of their subscriptions or refunds due to the outage.
