The foregoing rights may be sublicensed through multiple tiers of distribution, including resellers, provided each reseller or other distributor is contractually required to abide by the requirements of this Section. Publisher shall ensure that any Application Package incorporating the applicable Products shall be governed by a license agreement that is at least as protective to the Company as are the Company’s Terms of Service in the Application Package. Unless explicit written approval is given by Company to Publisher to act as an OEM, any references to OEM terms, such as an OEM License, OEM Support, or other OEM provisions, shall be inapplicable.
An OEM License may be authorized only in connection with the Enterprise Edition. Publishers with any Edition other than Enterprise Edition and Publishers with an Enterprise Edition without an OEM License authorized on an applicable Order Form are strictly prohibited from incorporating a Product into any Application Package or incorporating a Product into any goods or services, other than those authorized under subsections (i) – (iii) of the Purpose. Publisher is strictly prohibited from incorporating a Product into any goods or services, other than with respect to the authorized Application Package and those authorized under subsections (i) – (iii) of the Purpose.

The License Scope varies by Edition and the licenses granted hereunder are limited accordingly. Unless otherwise provided, licenses are personal to Publisher for its own Use. If you would like more information about upgrading to the Enterprise Edition, please contact us at www.jwplayer.com/contact-us/ or sales@jwplayer.com.

For the avoidance of doubt, this does not limit Publisher’s Plays per minute and reflects a number of requests unlikely to be reached through normal Use, the excess of which would be abusive. In addition to any other remedies provided by these Terms of Service, the Company reserves the right to immediately suspend accounts that exceed the maximum API requests set forth herein and to terminate, block and/or blacklist such accounts if Company believes in its reasonable discretion that such excess is due to Publisher’s abusive behavior.
Publishers using the Free Edition or Developer Edition may not modify or customize the menu that appears when an End User right-clicks (or other equivalent action) on a video.
Live Streaming Usage shall also count against the Streaming limits.
Advertisements
Publishers who have not purchased the Platinum Edition, Business Edition, Enterprise Trial Edition or ads-enabled Enterprise Edition are strictly prohibited from using the Products in any manner to display advertisements. Such prohibition includes actions such as (i) the making or use of any Adaptation that enables any type of advertisement to be shown in, on or around the Products (e.g., a skin), (ii) interoperation of the Products with any software that serves advertisements and (iii) adding advertisements to a playlist.
Registration

All Adaptations created by Publisher are strictly for Use in connection with the Purpose. Publisher is solely responsible to ensure that its Adaptations (except the Products incorporated therein) comply with all applicable laws and regulations and do not infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

Company may identify certain updates as being critical (e.g., updates that address significant security issues) by written notice (including e-mail to the address provided by Publisher).

Company shall not be liable for, and Publisher shall indemnify and hold Company harmless for, Losses due to Publisher’s failure to take the foregoing steps with respect to a critical update.
Publisher acknowledges that development for each Operating System may be subject to the applicable Operating System provider’s own rules, regulations, standards and requirements and that Company has no control or responsibility therefor. Publisher is solely responsible for its compliance with the foregoing and Company makes no representations or warranties of compatibility with any Operating System.

Company may update JW Showcase at any time and is under no obligation to provide notice thereof. Updates may have features or functionality that differ from that of the current JW Showcase.

Company shall not be liable for, and Publisher shall indemnify and hold Company harmless for, Losses due to Publisher’s failure to take the foregoing steps with respect to a critical update.
Beta Products
For the purposes of these Terms of Service, “Beta Products” means products, features, programs or services identified by Company as beta products, or which are made available by Company to Beta Participant and which are not yet generally available. If Publisher Uses any Beta Products, Publisher’s Use of any such Beta Product(s) constitutes unconditional agreement to be bound by, and such Use shall be subject to, the JW Player Beta Program Agreement with respect to such Beta Product(s).
Distribution
Except pursuant to the Purpose or as otherwise specifically set forth herein, Publisher shall not Distribute, re-license, sell, lease, transfer, encumber, assign or make available for public use the Products or any Adaptation thereof. Any attempt to take any such actions is void and constitutes a material breach of these Terms of Service.
Term
These Terms of Service shall become effective on the Effective Date. For all Editions other than the (i) Enterprise Trial Edition or (ii) Enterprise Edition if otherwise set forth on an applicable Order Form, these Terms of Service shall remain effective for a period of one (1) year (the “Initial Term”). Upon the conclusion of the Initial Term, these Terms of Service shall automatically renew for additional successive one (1) year terms, except in the case of the Enterprise Edition which shall renew for additional successive terms for the same period as the Initial Term (each a “Renewal Term” and together with the Initial Term and any Negotiation Period(s), the “Term”). Such renewal shall be at the then-current non-promotional rate, unless Publisher opts out of auto-renewal by electing to not renew these Terms of Service as set forth in the following paragraph. The Enterprise Trial Edition’s Term shall be 30 days unless otherwise mutually agreed by Publisher and Company and set forth on an applicable Order Form.
Either party may elect to not renew these Terms of Service by notifying the other prior to the expiration of the then-current Initial Term or Renewal Term. Such notice may be provided by Publisher either via email to customer support or through the Publisher dashboard. Notice for the Enterprise Edition must be provided in writing no later than thirty (30) days prior to such expiration. If Publisher terminates these Terms of Service, Publisher may use Publisher’s subscription until the end of Publisher’s then-current term and Publisher’s subscription will not be renewed after Publisher’s then-current term expires. However, Publisher won’t be eligible for a prorated refund of any portion of the subscription fee paid for the then-current subscription period. IF PUBLISHER DOES NOT WANT TO CONTINUE TO BE CHARGED ON A RECURRING BASIS, PUBLISHER MUST CANCEL THE APPLICABLE TERMS OF SERVICE BY NOTIFYING COMPANY BEFORE THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT INITIAL TERM OR RENEWAL TERM, WHICH FOR ENTERPRISE EDITION SHALL BE NO LATER THAN THIRTY (30) DAYS PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT INITIAL TERM OR RENEWAL TERM. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CANNOT BE TERMINATED BEFORE THE END OF THE PERIOD FOR WHICH PUBLISHER HAS ALREADY PAID, AND EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THESE TERMS, COMPANY WILL NOT REFUND ANY FEES THAT PUBLISHER HAS ALREADY PAID.
Publisher’s non-termination or continued use of Products or Editions reaffirms that Company is authorized to charge Publisher’s designated payment form for such Products or Editions. Company may submit those charges for payment and Publisher will be responsible for such charges. This does not waive Company’s right to seek payment directly from Publisher. Publisher’s charges may be payable in advance, in arrears, per usage, or as otherwise described when Publisher initially selected to use the Products or Editions. Publisher hereby acknowledges that it will not receive notice of a renewal cancellation date or automatic renewal and expressly waives the application of New York General Obligations Law Section 5-903, and any similar laws, to the renewal of these Terms of Service.
If Company has provided notice of non-renewal to an Enterprise Edition Publisher in accordance with the above mechanism, and the parties are negotiating in good faith to agree a new Order Form, and Publisher continues to Use the products beyond the effective date of expiration without such new Order Form having been executed by a duly authorized representative of each party, Publisher will be deemed to have renewed for a one (1) month term (a “Negotiation Period”); provided that Company may in its sole discretion notify Publisher that such Negotiation Period will not occur, in which case these Terms of Service will expire as provided herein. Publisher will for the Negotiation Period be invoiced, and will pay in accordance with the payment terms herein, one-twelfth of the annual Fees provided on the applicable Order Form, and the License Scope for Content Plays, Hosting and Streaming will be one-twelfth of the annual limits provided on such Order Form. The Negotiation Period will not renew without the written consent (email sufficing) of Company. The foregoing shall not affect either party’s rights to terminate these Terms of Service as provided herein.
Termination
These Terms of Service are subject to termination by Company immediately and/or Publisher’s account may be suspended if (a) Publisher fails to timely pay a Fee or Overages, (b) Publisher violates any term of these Terms of Service, including the provisions regarding Prohibited Content or the Content Guidelines (c) Publisher becomes insolvent, declares bankruptcy or a receiver or trustee is appointed for Publisher, (d) Publisher is or becomes engaged in a business that is competitive with the Company’s business, or (e) Publisher exceeds the License Scope permitted for its Edition and Publisher fails to cure any of the foregoing within seven (7) days of notice thereof.
Enterprise Edition Terms of Service shall not be terminable for convenience by either party. Company may terminate Free Edition, Developer Edition, Starter Edition, Business Edition, Premium Edition, Platinum Edition and Enterprise Trial Edition Terms of Service for its convenience on seven (7) days’ notice.
In the event of any termination by the Company pursuant to (a) – (e) above, the Company is under no obligation to provide a refund for the Fees received from Publisher or apply such fees to future services. In the event of the Company’s termination for convenience, Publisher shall, on its request, be given a pro rata refund of unused pre-paid Fees. In the event Publisher switches to a different Edition, any pre-paid Fee balance shall be applied towards the Fees due for such Edition until exhausted; no refund shall be available for Publishers switching to a Free Edition or a Developer Edition.
Effects of Termination
Upon expiration or termination of these Terms of Service for any reason, Publisher shall immediately cease Use the Products and uninstall, delete and destroy any copies of the Licensed Programs under its control. In the event any Products are no longer under Publisher’s control (such as SDK Applications already in the marketplace), Publisher shall use its best efforts to cause use of such Products to promptly cease, including updating SDK Applications and other OEM uses.
Without limiting the foregoing, if Publisher fails to cease Use of the Products or Services following expiration or termination, Publisher will continue to pay the Fees and Overages. To the extent that such continued use is due to Products no longer under Publisher’s control, such Fees shall be pro rata based on the volume of ongoing Use, until such Use ceases.
Upon expiration or termination, Company may delete any Content, information, files or materials in or related to Publisher’s account, and Company will have no obligation whatsoever to save or make any such Content, information, files or materials available to Publisher or any other party. Publisher agrees that Company will have no liability whatsoever to Publisher or any other party related to termination of access to Publisher’s account or as a result of the deletion or loss of any Content, information, files or materials in or related to Publisher’s account.
Upon expiration or termination, all rights, obligations and licenses of the parties shall cease, except that all obligations that accrued prior to the effective date of expiration or termination and remedies for breach of these Terms of Service shall survive. The provisions of the Sections titled Effects of Termination, Intellectual Property, Privacy, Fees and Payment, Content, Representations and Warranties, Disclaimer, Limitation of Liability, Basis of the Bargain, Indemnity, Audit, Confidential Information, Severability, Choice of Law and Jurisdiction, Injunctive Relief, Complete Agreement and Waiver of Breach shall also survive.

All installation and maintenance of Products by Publisher shall be at the sole expense of Publisher. Company is not responsible for performance issues caused by low-performance End-User computers, low-bandwidth End-User Internet connections, periodic network congestion among network providers, low-bandwidth connectivity from redirected image and video sources, improperly configured campaigns and low-bandwidth connectivity from any Publisher Content servers. In the event Company identifies slow performance due to its system, Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the Services to acceptable performance levels. Publisher’s sole remedy for any disruption (as determined by checking the response of a Product’s HTTP API) or failure to provide support shall be a pro rata refund of the Fee paid by Publisher for the relevant period. Legacy support for JW Player version 6.xx and earlier is no longer offered. Company, at its discretion, may make available future upgrades or updates to the Products. Upgrades and updates, if any, may not necessarily include all existing or new features that Company releases for newer versions of the Products.

Publisher is prohibited from creating any Adaptation that in any manner infringes the patents, trademarks, copyrights, trade secret rights or other rights of the Company or any third party.
In the event that you provide comments, suggestions, ideas, or recommendations to the Company with respect to the Products and Services (including, without limitation, with respect to modifications, enhancements, improvements and other changes) (collectively, “Feedback”), you hereby grant to the Company a worldwide, royalty free, irrevocable, transferable, perpetual license to use and otherwise incorporate any Feedback.
Privacy
Exercise of the rights and licenses granted hereunder shall be subject to the Company’s Privacy Policy, located at www.jwplayer.com/privacy, which is incorporated by reference herein. Publisher shall place prominently and maintain on all locations on which it Uses the Products, and comply with, a privacy statement or policy that adheres to or exceeds applicable law, regulations and industry self-regulatory programs.
Service Analytics powers the Products’ data and statistics reporting functionality (including Publisher’s JW Player Dashboard) in accordance with the Company’s Privacy Policy and United States and European Union privacy laws. The Products also utilize a Licensing Key to verify compliance with these Terms of Service (e.g., the Edition being Used).

Publisher (not the Company) is responsible for any statements and omissions in Publisher’s privacy policy.

Fees and Payment
Fees are published at www.jwplayer.com/pricing or provided on an applicable Order Form or checkout page. Company may modify the Fees prior to the commencement of each Renewal Term, provided, Company shall provide Enterprise Edition Publishers updated pricing at least forty-five (45) days prior to commencement of the applicable Renewal Term.
Publisher agrees to timely pay in U.S. Dollars all Fees and Overages due during the Term. Company may invoice Publisher prior to the Effective Date. Should Publisher reach or exceed the agreed-upon annual consumption limits at any point during the Term, all outstanding (un-invoiced) amounts with respect to such Term will be invoiced to Publisher for payment due upon receipt. Company reserves the right to withhold or suspend Publisher’s access to Products or Editions if Fees or Overages are not timely paid and/or until Fees or Overages have been paid for the applicable period. Such suspension shall not affect Publisher’s duty to pay all Fees or Overages due under any Order Form or Addendum or constitute termination of these Terms of Service absent Company’s notice of termination pursuant to the Termination section hereof. Past-due Fees and Overages shall incur interest at a rate of one-and-one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate allowed by law, whichever is lesser. Publisher shall be liable to, and fully reimburse, Company for all costs (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with Company’s collection of past-due Fees and Overages. All Fees are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service. Publisher shall be responsible to pay all Taxes (except Company’s corporate taxes) and all other charges (for example, currency exchange settlements) due in connection with the Fees and Overages and Publisher’s use of the Products.

Starter Edition, Business Edition, Premium Edition and Platinum Edition Publishers, as well as Enterprise Edition Publishers without an Order Form, must provide a valid form of payment (e.g., credit card, debit card, PayPal account) and accurate billing information. Publisher hereby authorizes Company to charge all Fees and Overages incurred to the designated payment form and acknowledges that periodic Fees and Overages may be charged automatically and without separate authorization. By choosing a recurring payment plan, Publisher acknowledges that such Products or Editions have an initial and recurring payment feature and Publisher accepts responsibility for all recurring charges prior to cancellation. COMPANY MAY SUBMIT PERIODIC CHARGES (E.G., QUARTERLY OR ANNUAL) WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM PUBLISHER, UNTIL PUBLISHER PROVIDES PRIOR NOTICE (RECEIPT OF WHICH IS CONFIRMED BY COMPANY) THAT PUBLISHER HAS TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISHES TO CHANGE PUBLISHER’S PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE COMPANY REASONABLY COULD ACT. TO TERMINATE YOUR AUTHORIZATION, CONTACT COMPANY SUPPORT. TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD, GO TO THE BILLING PAGE IN YOUR ACCOUNT SETTINGS.
