The following Terms of Use (these “Terms”) create a binding legal agreement between you, either an individual user of at least 18 years of age or, alternatively, a single legal entity (“You” or “Your”) and Wowza Media Systems, LLC (“Wowza” or “We” or “Us” or “Our”), regarding Your use of the Wowza Streaming Cloud service and related services, networks, and products, which are owned, controlled, or licensed by Wowza and that allow for the acquisition, manipulation, and distribution of video, audio, and other content (the “Service” or the “Services”).

By accessing and using the Service, or by otherwise indicating your acceptance of these Terms, You agree to be bound by these Terms.  You hereby represent and warrant to Wowza that You are at least eighteen (18) years of age or are otherwise capable of entering into and performing legal agreements.  If you do not agree to each and every term of these Terms, You must not click “I Accept” or “I Agree” (or similar consent language); and, You may not use any portion of the Service; instead, you must notify Wowza immediately and Wowza will provide you with a refund of any paid but unused Fees (as defined herein) if you have not used the Service. 

If You use the Service on behalf of a legal entity (such as a company), You hereby represent to Wowza that You have the authority to bind that entity and that Your acceptance of these Terms will be treated as acceptance of these Terms by that entity; in that event, “You” and “Your” will refer to that entity herein.

When using the Service, You will be subject to and will comply with any additional policies, guidelines, or rules applicable to You or to specific services and features which may be posted or distributed from time to time (the “Policies”).  All such Policies are hereby incorporated by reference into these Terms.  In the case of any inconsistency between these Terms and any other document that has been incorporated by reference herein, these Terms will control.  

Wowza reserves the right, at Wowza’s discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time by posting the amended Terms to the Service or to www.wowza.com (the “Site”).  Please check these Terms, the Site, and each of the Policies periodically for changes.  Your continued use of the Service or the Player after Wowza has posted or otherwise notified You of changes to these Terms or any Policy constitutes Your binding acceptance of such changes.  Except as stated elsewhere, such amended Terms or Fees (as defined herein) will automatically be effective upon being posted to the Service or to the Site (or such later effective date as may be indicated at the top of such revised Terms).

1.    Access to the Service; Ownership; License to Wowza Player Software.   

1.1.    Subject to Your continued compliance with these Terms and timely payment of Fees, Wowza will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Services to You on a non-exclusive, non-transferable, and revocable basis.  Wowza reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to make unscheduled changes, updates, or enhancements to the Service at any time.  Wowza may add or remove functionalities or features, or suspend or stop the Service altogether, at any time and without providing prior notice to You.  You may use the Service solely to stream Content (as defined herein) over the internet or other communications networks, as provided herein.  Wowza does not presently store any Content, and the Service presently does not allow storage of Content.      

1.2.    Except for Your Content (as defined below), the data, software, and materials in, on, and used to provide the Service including, without limitation, the Player, and the text, graphics, interactive features, and trademarks (including logos), as well as the selection, organization, coordination, compilation, and overall look and feel of the Service (collectively, the “Materials”) are the sole intellectual property of Wowza, its licensors, or its suppliers.  The Materials are protected by copyright, trade dress, patent, trademark, and other laws, as well as international conventions, and proprietary rights.  Except as expressly authorized under these Terms or otherwise in writing by Wowza, You will not sell, license, distribute, copy, modify, publicly perform, display, transmit, publish, edit, adapt, create derivative works from, or otherwise make use of the Materials or the Service.  You will retain all copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices of Wowza.  Wowza reserves all rights in and to the Service, Player, and Materials not expressly granted to You. 

1.3.    In the event that You provide comments, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations to Wowza with respect to the Service (including, without limitation, with respect to modifications, enhancements, improvements and other changes to the Service) (collectively, “Feedback”), You hereby grant to Wowza a world-wide, royalty free, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual license to use and otherwise incorporate any Feedback in any way Wowza desires, including without limitation in connection with the Service; in no event will Wowza owe you anything with regard to Feedback or Wowza’s use of Feedback.

1.4.    Subject to your continued compliance with these Terms and timely payment of all Fees due to Wowza (both hereunder and pursuant to any other obligation You may have to Wowza), Wowza grants You a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicensable, revocable, limited right and license to use, download, access, operate, integrate, and install the Wowza player software (as may be distributed by Wowza from time to time, the “Player”) solely for the purpose of facilitating playback and streaming of Content on Your website, where such Content has been streamed from a Wowza service or a Wowza server to the Player.  You may not distribute, re-license, sell, lease, transfer, or make the Player available for public use.  For the avoidance of doubt, as used in these Terms, “Service” includes the Player – for example, a prohibition on “using the Service for any illegal purpose,” also prohibits You from using the Player for any illegal purpose.    

1.5.    The scope of the Player license granted to You by Wowza, the Player features and functionality made available to You, and the Player limitations applicable to You, will each vary according to the commercial terms pursuant to which Wowza provides You with the Player.  Wowza reserves the right to change the scope of the Player license granted to You, and the features, functionality, and limitations regarding the Player at any time and without notice to You.    

1.6.    The Player utilizes a license key to verify Your compliance with these Terms, as well as technology to track and report usage and similar functionality.  You may not remove, obscure, disable, or otherwise interfere with the foregoing.  Wowza may use data collected from the foregoing for any commercially reasonable purpose without obligation to you.  You must conspicuously make persons who come into contact with the Player aware of your privacy and data use policies and You must comply with all applicable laws regarding the same.    

2.    Your Account.

2.3.    Usage Data: We collect and store information about Your usage of the Services, including data on network bandwidth utilized, disk space consumed, stream duration, viewer counts, CDN usage (including regional usage), feature usage, and other data about the operation and performance of Your streams. The usage data may also be used by Wowza support systems and customer service to monitor and troubleshoot Your streams, if needed. In General, Wowza endeavors to store this usage data on a rolling basis for one year while You are a customer in good standing. Wowza will endeavor to retain detailed usage data, with the most granular information about events and viewers, for a period of 30 days following its creation. After 30 days, Wowza may aggregate usage and viewing data without the continued preservation of the raw data. Wowza does not intend for its data collection and retention efforts in connection with Your use of the Services to be exhaustive or redundantly-managed and there is a chance Wowza will fail to collect or be unable to retrieve Your data even upon request. If access to your usage data is a critical business function, please contact Wowza to arrange to receive this data via API. Wowza does not make any warranties about its data collection or retention efforts and accepts no liability for collection or production of usage data.

2.4.    If a third party such as an employer provided Your account or directed or authorized the creation of Your account, that third party has rights to Your account and may: manage Your account, reset Your password, or suspend or cancel Your account; view Your account’s usage and profile data, including how and when Your account is used; and view information in Your account. If You are an individual Registered User of the Service, and the domain of the primary email address associated with Your account is owned by an organization and was assigned to You as an employee, contractor, or member of such organization, and that organization wishes to establishes a commercial relationship with Us and add Your account to such relationship, then, if You do not change the email address associated with Your account, Your account may become subject to the commercial relationship between Wowza and such organization and controlled by such organization.     

2.5.    Wowza reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to deactivate, change, and require You to change Your Wowza user ID and any custom or vanity user names, URLs, custom links, or vanity domains You may obtain through or use with the Services for any reason or for no reason at any time, with or without prior notice. 

2.6.    You will use reasonable efforts to communicate these Terms to anyone who may or will come into contact with or use the Service through Your account, including, without limitation, any employees, contractors, agents or customers.  You will ensure such third parties’ compliance with these Terms and will be liable to Us for any act or omission by any such third party to the same extent that You would have been liable to Us had You committed such act or omission. 

3.    Content.

3.1.    We don’t claim ownership of any audiovisual content that is uploaded or transmitted to, or stored, distributed, processed, or displayed by the Service (collectively, “Content”).  We also don’t control, verify, or endorse the Content that You and others make available to, on, through, or from the Service.  We may provide functionality and compatibility with third party services that allow You to control who may access Your Content. If You enable the features that allow You to share the Content with others, anyone You’ve shared content with (including the general public, in certain circumstances) may have access to Your Content.

3.2.    You hereby grant Wowza and its contractors the right, to view, use, modify, adapt, reproduce, transmit, distribute, display, and disclose Content to the extent necessary (as determined by Wowza in its sole discretion) to provide the Service, to comply with any law or judicial order, for promotional or similar purposes, or as otherwise permitted by these Terms.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Your Content is not considered confidential information, and Wowza has no obligation to keep Your Content confidential or secret.  

3.3.    The Service is not intended to be a service in which users archive, back up, or keep original or irreplaceable copies of Content.  Similarly, even where “recording” functionality is offered, the Service should not replace more secure means of recording and preserving Content.  Wowza does not employ many of the measures commonly used by storage services to ensure that Content is undoubtedly preserved.  You should, outside of the Service, backup and keep copies of all Content in “real time,” immediately upon its creation, as Wowza may modify, correct, delete, and restrict Your access to any Content at any time without your consent and without prior notice to you.  Wowza will have no liability of any kind related to the loss, deletion, modification, or destruction of Content, or for any failure to secure Content, to make Content available to You, or to encrypt Content.  

3.4.    You represent, covenant, and warrant that: (a) You have all the rights in the Content necessary for You to use the Service and to grant the rights in this Section; and, (b) the storage, use or transmission, or display or playback, of the Content and Your use of the Service doesn’t violate any law, these Terms, or the rights of any third party.

3.5.    You will: (a) be solely responsible for the nature, quality and accuracy of the Content; (b) ensure that the Content (including the storage or transmission thereof) complies with these Terms and any and all applicable laws and regulations; (c) promptly handle and resolve any notices and claims relating to the Content, including without limitation, any notice sent to You by any person or entity claiming that any Content violates any person’s rights, such as take-down notices pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and any other notices; and (d) maintain appropriate security, protection, and backup copies of the Content, which may include Your use of additional encryption technology to protect the Content from unauthorized access. Wowza will have no liability of any kind as a result of the deletion, correction, destruction or loss of, or damage to or failure to store or encrypt, any Content.

3.6.    You will immediately (upon becoming aware) notify Wowza in writing of any unauthorized use of: (a) any Content; (b) any account associated with the Service; or (c) the Service. In the event of any such unauthorized use by any third party that obtained access through You, You will take all steps necessary to immediately terminate such unauthorized use. You will provide Wowza with any cooperation and assistance related to any such unauthorized use as Wowza may reasonably request.

3.7.    When using the Service, You may be exposed to content and information from a variety of sources (“Third Party Content”). Such Third Party Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or objectionable. Wowza is not responsible for any Third Party Content, including the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to any Third Party Content.  Wowza does not endorse any Content or Third Party Content or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Wowza expressly disclaims any and all liability arising from the Content or Third Party Content. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY LEGAL OR EQUITABLE RIGHTS OR REMEDIES YOU HAVE OR MAY HAVE AGAINST WOWZA WITH RESPECT THERETO, AND WILL INDEMNIFY AND HOLD THE WOWZA PARTIES (AS DEFINED BELOW) AND ITS LICENSORS HARMLESS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY LAW REGARDING ALL MATTERS RELATED TO YOUR CONTENT AND USE OF THE SERVICE.

3.8.    YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WOWZA IS NOT LIABLE FOR CONTENT OR ANY DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM THE FOREGOING RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

4.    Payment. 

4.1.    The fees applicable for the Service (“Fees”) are available within the Service, on the Site, or in Wowza’s then-current published price list. The prices stated for the Service exclude all taxes and charges unless stated otherwise. You’re responsible for and will pay any taxes and all other charges (for example, currency exchange settlements). You will pay all Fees in U.S. Dollars and through a payment type, mechanism, and process approved by Wowza in its sole discretion. 

4.2.    In addition to any Fees, You may still incur charges incidental to using the Service from Wowza or from third parties; these charges could include, for example, charges for Internet access, data roaming, and other data transmission charges.

4.3.    Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, Wowza may suspend or cancel Your access to the Service if You fail to pay (or fail to permit Wowza to collect) all Fees in full and on time, as determined by Wowza in its sole discretion.

4.4.    You must be authorized to use the payment method that You provide when You create a billing account. You authorize Wowza to charge You for the Service using Your payment method and for any paid feature of the Service that You choose to sign up for or use while these Terms are in force.  We may bill: (a) in advance; (b) at the time of purchase; (c) shortly after purchase; (d) on a recurring basis for subscription Services; or (e) in a “threshold” manner, such that we bill and charge Your designated method of payment at any time Your account balance reaches a level we designate.  Wowza may bill You simultaneously for more than one of Your prior billing periods. Once You have signed up for a recurring subscription term or once Wowza has informed You that the Service will be provided indefinitely or automatically renewed, We may automatically renew Your Service and charge You for any renewal term.

4.5.    You will keep all information in Your billing account current. You can access and modify Your billing account information using the Site. You may change Your payment method to another payment method then-approved by Wowza at any time.  If You have a $0 balance due with Wowza and tell Wowza to stop using Your payment method, and Wowza no longer has an approved method of payment on file for You for charges related to the Service, We may cancel Your account or access to the Service.  Your notice to Wowza will not affect charges We submit to Your billing account before We reasonably could act on Your request.

4.6.    Wowza will notify You in advance, either through the Service or by email to the email address You have most recently provided to Wowza, if We change one or more prices of the Service. If there’s a specific length and price for Your Service offer, that price will remain in force for that time; after that  period ends, Your use of the Service will be charged at the new price. If Your Service is on a period basis (for example, monthly) with no specific length, Wowza will notify You of any price change at least 30 days in advance.  If You don’t agree to these changes, You must cancel and stop using the Service through a cancellation process then-approved by Wowza no later than fourteen (14) days prior to the conclusion of Your current payment term, whether monthly, yearly, or otherwise. If You cancel, Your Service will end at the end of Your current Service period or, if Wowza bills Your account on a period basis, at the end of the period in which You properly canceled. If You fail to cancel as required, Wowza will have the right to automatically renew the Service for the same term and will charge Your payment information on file with Us commencing on the first day of the renewal term.

4.7.    Payments for Fees related to all of Your accounts are due upon invoicing of such amounts by Wowza unless otherwise agreed to by Wowza in writing; this may mean that Wowza will automatically charge Your approved method of payment when Your account for the Service reaches a balance threshold established by Wowza.  If payment is not received by Wowza on the due date or if You fail to maintain an approved and valid method of payment on file with Wowza at all times, Your account may be frozen, inaccessible, or cancelled, and all shared links turned off, until all outstanding payments have been received and processed by Wowza. You will settle all outstanding balances in a timely manner and maintain current billing information.  If not complied with, Your account may be deactivated; and, Your use of the Service may be terminated, and Your Content may no longer be retrievable.

4.8.    Unless We notify You otherwise, if You’re participating in any trial period offer, You must cancel the Service by the end of the trial period to avoid incurring new charges. If You do not cancel Your Service within such time, You authorize Us to charge Your payment method for the Service.

4.9.    Except as specifically set forth in this section, all Fees are non-refundable. 

4.10.    Except as prohibited by law, Wowza may assess a late charge if You do not pay on time. You must pay these late charges when We bill You for them. The late charge will be the lesser of 1 percent of the unpaid amount each month or the maximum rate permitted by law. Wowza may use a third party to collect past due amounts. You will pay for all reasonable costs Wowza incurs to collect any past due amounts, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal fees and costs. Wowza may suspend or cancel Your Service if You fail to pay in full on time.
