Vimeo OTT Viewer Terms of Service Agreement
Last updated: May 24, 2021
This Vimeo OTT Viewer Terms of Service Agreement (“Agreement”) is between you and Vimeo.com, Inc. (for the purposes hereof, “Vimeo,” “we” or “us”). The Agreement governs your use of the “Vimeo OTT Service,” an online platform that allows consumers like you to view video programs (“Programs”) from content owners and licensors (“Producers”) through Producer-branded websites and applications that we power.

Notice: Section 10 of this Agreement contains a mandatory ARBITRATION AGREEMENT. By using the Vimeo OTT Service, you agree that any claims you may have against Vimeo relating to the Vimeo OTT Service must be ARBITRATED, and you waive the right to (1) assert claims against Vimeo in court; (2) participate in a class action; and (3) have a jury hear your case.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, viewing videos, making a purchase, downloading Producer-branded applications that we power, or otherwise visiting or using the Vimeo OTT Service, you accept this Agreement and consent to contract with us electronically.

If you are an entity other than a natural person, the person who registers the account or otherwise uses the Vimeo OTT Service must have the authority to bind the entity. In this context, “you” means both the entity and each person who is authorized to access the account.

We may update this Agreement by posting a revised version on our website. By continuing to use the Vimeo OTT Service, you accept any revised Agreement.

You may terminate the Agreement at any time by deleting your account. We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account for your breach of the terms hereof. If Vimeo deletes your account for breach, you may not re-register. In the event of any termination or expiration of the Agreement, the following sections will survive: Section 7 (Disclaimers), Section 8 (Limitation of Liability), Section 9 (Indemnification), Section 10 (Arbitration Agreement; Jury Waiver; Class Action Waiver), and Section 11 (General Provisions).

2. Accounts

Registration: You must create an account to use certain features we offer (e.g., to view a Program). To do so, you must provide an email address. By creating an account, you agree to receive notices from Vimeo and the Producers of the Programs you purchase at this email address.

Age Requirements: You may not create an account if you are younger than 16 years of age. By creating an account, you represent that you are at least 16 years of age, and, to the extent required by law, you have the permission of a parent or guardian to create an account and use the Vimeo OTT Service.

Parents and Guardians: By granting your child permission to use the Vimeo OTT Service through your account, you agree and understand that you are responsible for monitoring and supervising your child’s usage. If you believe your child is using your account and does not have your permission, please contact us immediately so that we can disable access.

Account Security: You are responsible for all activity that occurs under your account, including unauthorized activity. You must safeguard the confidentiality of your account credentials. If you are using a computer that others have access to, you must log out of your account after each session. If you become aware of unauthorized access to your account, you must change your password and notify us immediately.

3. Privacy

Please review our Privacy Policy to learn about the information we collect from you when you use the Vimeo OTT Service, how we use it, and with whom we share it.

By creating an account, you agree that the Producer of the Program(s) you purchase will have access to your account information and account activities, such as the viewing and purchase of the Producer’s Programs, and your contact information. Vimeo is not responsible for a Producer’s use or disclosure of your data.

4. Program Viewing and Purchase Options

Producers may offer the following purchase options through Producer-branded websites and applications:

• Rental: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times during the stated rental period.
•  Purchase: After paying the stated fee, you may stream the Program an unlimited number of times; if offered by the Producer, you may download the Program.
•  Subscription: For a recurring fee, you may stream the Programs offered within a Producer’s subscription channel an unlimited number of times during your subscription period. The Producer may add or remove Programs from the channel at any time.

To make a purchase, you must provide a valid payment method. We may apply taxes, including VAT (value-added tax), to any charges. Prices and other terms of purchase are subject to change. If a Producer provides you access to a Program on a free basis, such access will be deemed a “purchase” for the purpose of this Agreement.

ALL PURCHASES, INCLUDING RECURRING CHARGES, ARE FINAL AND NON-REFUNDABLE.

Free trials and Discounts: Producers may offer free-trial or discounted subscriptions. When a free-trial period ends, your paid subscription begins (unless you have cancelled) and you must pay the full monthly or annual fee. If a Producer provides a discount for the first subscription period, you must pay the discounted fee; in any renewal, you must pay the full fee.

Automatic Renewal: To the extent permitted by applicable law, subscriptions automatically renew for the subscription period until you cancel. Your payment method will be charged at the beginning of each subscription period. If a Purchaser offers a free-trial period, your payment method will be charged at the end of the free-trial period unless you cancel before the end of that period.

How to Decline Renewal: To pause or cancel a subscription, visit your account settings. Your changes will be applied to your next subscription period.

In-App Purchase: Producers may allow you to purchase subscriptions within apps you download. When you make such “in-app” purchases, you will be billed by the app platform, not us. To turn off automatic renewal for subscriptions, access your platform’s account settings (not Vimeo’s). Any billing inquiries should be directed to the app platform.

5. Licenses and Intellectual Property

License to Programs: Subject to the terms hereof, you have the right to stream and/or (if offered) download for your personal entertainment purposes: (i) Programs that you have rented during the stated rental period; (ii) Programs that you have purchased; and (iii) Programs made available within a channel that you have subscribed to during your subscription period.

Restrictions: You may not resell streams or downloads, use any Program for any commercial purpose, redistribute or retransmit any Program, publicly perform or display any Program, or make derivative works from any Program. All rights not expressly granted herein are reserved by the applicable Producer.

Vimeo OTT Service: Subject to the terms hereof, Vimeo grants you permission to use the Vimeo OTT Service for the sole purpose of viewing Programs for your personal entertainment. All rights not expressly granted by Vimeo are reserved.

Producer Apps: If you download a Producer application that we power (an “app”) that operates on a third-party platform (e.g., iOS, Roku): (i) you have the right to use such app for your personal, non-commercial use on devices permitted by the platform operator; (ii) as between Vimeo and the platform operator (but without creating any obligation by Vimeo), Vimeo shall be responsible for the apps and their content and providing any warranty, support, or indemnification with respect to such apps as required by law; and (iii) the platform operator shall have the right to enforce the terms of this clause with respect to your use of the app.

Your Content; Feedback: To the extent that you submit any content to Vimeo (i.e. in your profile, a comment, or forum), you grant Vimeo an irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right and license to use, copy, adapt, transmit, distribute, license, and publicly perform and display such content in all media for any purpose whatsoever. Any content submitted must comply with the Acceptable Use Policy set forth in Section 6. If you make suggestions to Vimeo on improving our products or services, Vimeo may use your suggestions without any compensation to you.

6. Acceptable Use Policy

We may allow you to upload, submit, or publish (collectively, to “submit”) content such as images and text (collectively, “content”). You must ensure that your content, and your conduct, complies with the Acceptable Use Policy set forth in this Section 6. Vimeo may (but is not obligated to) monitor your account, content, and conduct, regardless of your privacy settings. Vimeo may remove or limit access or availability to any content or account that it considers in good faith to violate this Acceptable Use Policy.

6.1 Copyright Policy

You may only upload content that you have the right to upload and share. Copyright owners may send Vimeo a takedown notice as stated in our Copyright Policy if they believe Vimeo is hosting infringing materials. We will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of persons who repeatedly infringe.
