Video Submission Terms and Conditions: 


These terms ("Terms") govern the submittor's ("Licensor") irrevocable grant to Wide Open Pets, its successors, affiliates, licensees and assigns (collectively, "Wide Open Media") of the Licensed Rights (defined below) with respect to all or any part of the audiovisual work(s) submitted by Licensor to Wide Open Media, including without limitation all intellectual property, images, identifiable characters and/or individuals, music, sounds, signage, statements, or other trademarks and logos, and all other rights depicted or contained therein (the "Images").

  1. Licensed Rights. Licensor grants Wide Open Pets the exclusive, unlimited right to use, refrain from using, change, alter, edit, modify, add to, subtract from and rearrange the Images and to exhibit, distribute, broadcast, reproduce, license others to reproduce and distribute, advertise, promote, publish and otherwise exploit the Images by any and all methods or means, whether now known or hereafter devised, in any manner and in any and all media throughout the world, in perpetuity, for any purpose whatsoever as Wide Open Pets in its sole discretion may determine (the "Licensed Rights"), including for the purpose of marketing, advertising, and promotion. Licensor furthermore does hereby irrevocably appoint Wide Open Pets as its attorney-in-fact to take any such action as may from time to time be necessary to effect, transfer, or assign the rights granted to Wide Open Pets herein, including without limitation copyright-related actions, and assigns to Wide Open Pets the right to prosecute any and all claims from the past, present, and future use of the Images by unauthorized third parties.

  2. Consideration. In full and complete consideration to Licensor for all of the Licensed Rights granted to Wide Open Pets hereunder, Wide Open Pets shall consider the Images for inclusion in Wide Open Pets compilations and other Wide Open Pets-original productions.

  3. Licensor Representations and Warranties.


(a) Owner of Rights: Licensor has the sole, exclusive and unencumbered ownership of all rights of every kind and character throughout the universe in and to the Licensed Rights and has clear title to the material upon which the Images are based. Licensor has the absolute right to grant to Wide Open Pets, all rights, licenses and privileges granted to or vested in Wide Open Pets under these Terms. Licensor has not authorized and will not authorize any other party to exercise any right or take any action that impairs the rights herein granted to Wide Open Pets.

 

(b) Rights Are Clear: Licensor has obtained all clearances and paid all monies necessary for Wide Open Pets to exercise its exclusive rights hereunder and there will not be any other rights to be cleared or any payments required to be made by Wide Open Pets as a result of any use of the Images pursuant to the rights and licenses herein granted (including without limitation, payments in connection with contingent participations, residuals, clearance rights, moral rights, union fees, and music rights). Licensor has not previously entered into any other agreement in connection with the Images. All of the individuals and entities connected with the production of the Images, and all of the individuals and entities whose names, voices, photographs, likenesses, appearance, works, services and other materials appear or have been used in the Images, have authorized and approved Licensor's use thereof, and Wide Open Pets shall have the right to use all names, voices, photographs, likenesses, appearance and performances contained in the Images in connection with the exploitation, promotion, and use of the Licensed Rights. It is expressly understood that Wide Open Pets or Wide Open Media has not assumed any obligations under any contracts entered into by Licensor.

(c) No Infringement: No part of the Images, any materials contained therein, or the exercise by Wide Open Pets of the Licensed Rights violates or will violate, or infringes or will infringe, any trademark, trade name, contract, agreement, copyright (whether common law or statutory), patent, literary, artistic, music, dramatic, personal, private, civil, property, privacy or publicity right or "moral rights of authors" or any other right of any person or entity, and shall not give rise to a claim of slander or libel. There are no existing, anticipated, or threatened claims or litigation that would adversely affect or impair any of the Licensed Rights.

  1. Termination: Licensor may seek to terminate its agreement to these Terms at any time; however, these Terms shall only be terminable upon the mutual agreement of the parties, the consent of which may be granted or denied in Wide Open Pets' sole discretion. No termination shall impact any prior license of the Images by Wide Open Pets prior to termination, which shall continue in full effect under these Terms.

  2. Release and Indemnity. Licensor hereby agrees to indemnify, release and hold harmless Wide Open Pets, its successors, licensees, subdistributors and assigns, and the directors, officers, employees, representatives and agents of each of the foregoing, from any and all claims, demands, causes of action, damages, judgments, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, and attorney's fees arising out of or resulting from (i) any breach by Licensor of any warranty, representation or any other provision of these Terms, and/or (ii) any claims of or respecting slander, libel, defamation, invasion of privacy or right of publicity, false light, infringement of copyright or trademark, or violations of any other rights arising out of or relating to any use by Wide Open Pets of the rights granted under this these Terms. Licensor acknowledges that Wide Open Pets is relying on the representations made by Licensor in accordance with these Terms and a breach by Licensor would cause Wide Open Media Group irrevocable injury and damage that cannot be adequately compensated by damages in an action at law and Licensor therefore expressly agrees that, without limiting Wide Open Pets' remedies, Wide Open Pets shall be entitled to injunctive and other equitable relief.

  3. Publicity/Confidentiality. Licensor shall not release, disseminate, issue, authorize or cause the release, dissemination or issuance of any publicity or information concerning the Licensed Rights, Wide Open Pets, or these Terms without Wide Open Pets' prior specific written consent (including, without limitation, posting, participating or engaging in social media discussions, news stories, blogs, reports or responses thereto), and Licensor shall direct all licensing or other inquiries relating to the Images solely to Wide Open Pets. Licensor acknowledges that these Terms are confidential in nature and agrees not to disclose the content or substance thereof to any third parties other than: (i) Licensor's respective attorneys and accountants, and/or (ii) as may be reasonably required in order to comply with any obligations imposed by these Terms, or any statute, ordinance, rule, regulation, other law, or court order.

  4. Miscellaneous. Licensor acknowledges and warrants that its agreement to these Terms has not been induced by any representation or assurance not contained herein. These Terms supersede and replace all prior agreements, negotiations or understandings in connection with the Licensed Rights, including without limitation any simplified explanation of the terms herein, and in the event there are any inconsistencies between this English-language contract and any translations of terms and conditions, the English-language version shall prevail. These Terms contain the entire understanding of the parties and shall not be modified or amended except by a written document executed by both parties. If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited only to the extent necessary, with all other provisions of these Terms remaining in effect. The waiver by either party or consent to a breach of any provision of these Terms by the other party shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of, consent to, or excuse of any other or subsequent breach by the other party. Wide Open Pets shall have the right to assign freely the Images, the Licensed Rights and/or any of Wide Open Pets' other rights hereunder to any person or entity (by operation of law or otherwise). Licensor may not assign its rights hereunder.

  5. Choice of Law/Dispute Resolution. These Terms shall be deemed to have been agreed upon within the State of Texas, and the rights and obligations of the parties hereunder shall be construed and enforced in accordance with, and governed by, the laws of the State of Texas, without regard to the conflicts of law principles thereof. The parties agree to the personal jurisdiction by and venue in Austin, Texas, and waive any objection to such jurisdiction or venue irrespective of the fact that a party may not be a resident of that State. Except for Wide Open Media's equitable rights as set forth in these terms, the parties hereby agree to submit any disputes or controversies arising from, relating to or in connection with these terms or the parties' respective obligations in connection therewith to binding arbitration in Austin, Texas in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association and only for actual monetary damages, if any. In the event of any dispute, Licensor shall not be entitled to, and does hereby waive all right to, any equitable relief whatsoever, including the right to rescind its agreement to these Terms, to rescind any rights granted hereunder, or to enjoin, restrain or interfere in any manner with the marketing, advertisement, distribution or exploitation of the Licensed Rights. All rights to recover consequential, incidental and/or punitive damages are waived by Licensor.


9. Terms & Conditions. Licensor may be required to agree to additional terms and conditions displayed on the Wide Open Pets website at wompperf.wpengine.com or other Wide Open Media-owned websites, which will be incorporated herein by reference and subject to change.
