Last Updated: August 2, 2016
The following terms and conditions (the “Terms”) govern your access to, and use of, SundaySky’s cloud-based video creation and management console software and related code, documentation, features, and services, as well as any fixes, updates or upgrades thereto (collectively, the “Console“). Therefore, please read these Terms carefully since they set out the legal rights and obligations between you and SundaySky, Inc. (together with our respective affiliates and subsidiaries, “SundaySky“, “we“, “our” or “us“) with respect to the subject matter hereof.
BY ACCESSING OR USING ANY PART OF THE CONSOLE, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE REVIEWED, AND YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY, THESE TERMS AND SUNDAYSKY’S PRIVACY POLICY (the “Privacy Policy“). IN ADDITION, IF YOU ARE ACTING ON BEHALF OF AN ENTITY, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AUTHORIZED TO ACT ON BEHALF OF, AND BIND, SUCH ENTITY TO THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THESE TERMS, YOU MAY NOT ACCESS OR USE ANY PART OF THE CONSOLE.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION THAT YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE CONSOLE (OR ANY PART THEREOF) MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION SHALL BE PERMANENTLY BARRED.
1. Background. We make the Console available under these Terms to those of our customers (“Customers“, “you”, or “your”) who have entered into a separate services agreement with us (the “Services Agreement”). The Console may be used for the creation, design, generation and delivery of audiovisual works or clips (each, a “SmartVideo Clip“) through our proprietary video platform and player (the “Video Platform“), and our Customers’ respective authorized personnel (“Customer Users“), agents and representatives, such as advertising agents (such agents and representatives, collectively, “Agents“). The Console allows Customers, Customer Users and Agents (collectively, “Users“) independently to create and design the functional, narrative, graphical user interface and “look-and-feel” aspects of the Customer’s SmartVideo Clips (the “Video Interfaces“), to manage stories and reuse scenes through a scene library, to create delivery experiences that support the SmartVideo Clips, and to monitor and report on the performance of SmartVideo Clips, instead of retaining SundaySky to perform such services. Video Interfaces interoperate with our Video Platform, and, in real-time, call upon the relevant data pertaining to an end-user consumer of the Customer (“Consumer Data” and “Consumer“, respectively) to generate and deliver SmartVideo Clips pertinent to such Consumer and the particular instance of engagement between Customer and Consumer.
2. Modification. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to modify these Terms at any time by sending an email to our Customers or by publishing the modified Terms within the Console dashboard (the modified Terms may also be posted on www.sundaysky.com). Such modification(s) will be effective ten (10) days following such notification or publication, and your use of any part of the Console thereafter means that you accept those modifications and the new version of these Terms. When we modify these Terms, the “Last Updated” date above will be updated to reflect the date of the most recent version. We encourage you to review these Terms periodically.
3. Accounts. In order to access and use the Console you will first need to register an account (“Account“) by contacting one of our account managers (each an “Account Manager“) and completing the registration process prescribed by the Account Manager. You must complete the registration process by providing us with information that is (and you must ensure that it remains) current, complete and accurate (such as your name, entity information, email and postal address, and telephone number), and you will then be required to create a password for the Account. If you are a Customer User or an Agent, however, just having an Account will not give you access to the Console, and you will need authorization from the relevant Customer. Customers may authorize their Customer Users and/or Agents to access and use the Console by contacting your Account Manager. You acknowledge and agree that SundaySky has the ability, but not the obligation, to access your Account in order to provide support, maintenance, improvement, business, and/or security-related services. You are solely responsible for (a) protecting your Account user name and password; and (b) any and all activities that occur under or through your Account. You must notify SundaySky immediately if you become aware of, or suspect, any security breach or unauthorized access to your Account. If you allow a third party to access your Account on your behalf, you are responsible for ensuring that such third party has consented to, and complies with, these Terms. If you wish to cancel your Account, you must contact your Account Manager to request such cancellation, unless otherwise Console. Please be aware, however, that once your Account has been cancelled (i) you will lose all access to and use of the Console and any data or information stored in your Account; and (ii) you may still be subject to these Terms, as further described in Section 16 (Termination and Survival) below.
4. Access and Restrictions. Subject to your compliance with these Terms, SundaySky hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, and non-transferable right to remotely access and use the Console to create and design the Video Interfaces for the applicable Customer’s SmartVideo Clips. As a condition to the foregoing you agree not (and shall not allow any third party) to:
(i) copy, distribute, rent, lease, lend, use for timesharing or service-bureau services, commercially host, export, modify, adapt, translate, enhance, customize, or otherwise create derivative works of, the Console or any part thereof;
(ii) reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code of, the Console or any part thereof, except as expressly permitted by the law in effect in the jurisdiction in which you are located;
(iii) remove or modify any proprietary notices, labels or legends on or in the Console;
(iv) use any automated means to access or use the Console, or circumvent or disable any security or technological features of the Console;
(v) use, post, transmit or introduce any device, code, routine or other item (including without limitation bots, viruses, worms, and Trojan horses) that interferes (or attempts to interfere) with the operation or integrity of the Console;
(vi) use the Console to design or develop any product or service that competes with the Console or the business of SundaySky, or use the Console for any unlawful or fraudulent purpose, to breach these Terms, or to infringe or misappropriate any third party intellectual property, privacy, or publicity right;
(vii) take any action that imposes or may impose, as determined in SundaySky’s sole discretion, a disproportionately large load on the Console infrastructure;
(viii) publicly disclose the results of any Console benchmark (or similar comparison) test, without the express prior written approval of SundaySky;
(ix) use the Console in connection with any product or service (including SmartVideo Clips) that are directed at children under the age of 13 (including when you should have been aware of this); or
(x) Use the Console in a manner inconsistent with its then-current documentation.
5. License to Data and Video Interfaces. As a Customer, you hereby grant SundaySky a royalty-free, paid-up, non-exclusive, irrevocable and worldwide license to access, log, retain and use all Consumer Data and Video Interfaces pertaining to your Account, as well as all other data and content you provide to us, to: (a) administer and make improvements to the Console, as well as carry out related tasks (such, but not limited to, billing); (b) generate and deliver SmartVideo Clips; (c) collect and analyze Consumer Engagement Data (defined below) and Video Interfaces; and (d) compile statistics, metrics, insights, and general trend data about the Console for, among other things, SundaySky’s marketing and promotional purposes, all in accordance with our Privacy Policy. For clarity, as between you and SundaySky, all Consumer Data and Video Interfaces shall be solely and exclusively owned by you. As used herein, “Consumer Engagement Data” means any data pertaining to Consumers’ engagement with SmartVideo Clips (such as, without limitation, click-to-play events, percentage of SmartVideo Clips viewed, and click-through rates).
6. Payment. Your access to and use of the Console is provided at no additional charge to you under these Terms, but is expressly subject to your continued and timely payment in full of all applicable fees, taxes and other charges, as set forth in your Services Agreement with SundaySky.
7. Free Trial. We may permit certain Users to create an Account and use the Console on a limited trial basis, free of charge until the earlier of: (a) the end of the trial period (as determined by SundaySky), or (b) the start date of your paid subscription. If we include additional terms and conditions on the trial registration web page, those will apply in addition to these Terms. (In the event of any conflict, those additional terms will prevail over these Terms.) Unless you register for your paid subscription before the end of the trial period, all of your data and other work product contained in your Account will be permanently deleted at the end of the trial, and we will be under no obligation to recover it. You also acknowledge and agree that SundaySky reserves the right to suspend, modify, cancel and/or limit the trial basis and/or period, in any way and at any time.
8. Privacy. You must not (and shall not allow any third party to) use the Console to track, collect or upload any data that personally identifies an individual (such as, but not limited to, a name, email address, or billing information) in violation of any applicable law or regulation. You must have, and at all times comply with, an appropriate privacy policy that conforms to the laws of your jurisdiction.
9. Feedback. The Console may include tools giving you the opportunity to provide us with feedback data (such as, but not limited to, comments, suggestions, and questions) about the Console (“Feedback“). You agree that all rights, title and interest in and to all Feedback (even if provided to us other than through the Console tools) are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of SundaySky.
10. Support. In conjunction with any technical support and extended support to which you may be entitled under your Services Agreement, SundaySky provides email support for your use of the Console under these Terms. In the event a Customer requires any additional assistance, extended support or other professional services from SundaySky, such Customer and SundaySky may enter into a Statement of Work (“SOW”) under the terms of their Services Agreement.
11. Ownership.
11.1. General. All rights not expressly granted under these Terms are hereby reserved by SundaySky and/or its licensors. In addition, the rights granted by SundaySky to you under these Terms shall terminate immediately upon the earlier of the termination of these Terms (as described in Section 16 below) or your breach of any provision of these Terms.
11.2. Console. All rights, title and interest in and to the Console and its features (such as, but not limited to, graphics and interface), including all reproductions, corrections, modifications, customizations, enhancements and improvements thereof, as well as all related patent rights, copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, service marks, goodwill, and intellectual property rights, are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of SundaySky and/or its licensors.
12. Confidentiality. Both SundaySky and you may have access to certain non-public and/or proprietary information of the other, in any form or media, including without limitation trade secrets, technical data, technology, know-how, software codes and designs, price lists, and developments (“Confidential Information“). You acknowledge and agree that the Console is or contains Confidential Information of SundaySky. Each party shall take measures at least as protective, but in no event less than a reasonable standard, as those taken to protect its own Confidential Information, to safeguard the Confidential Information of the other party from unauthorized disclosure and use. You may only use our Confidential Information to the extent explicitly granted under these Terms (if any), and you may only disclose our Confidential Information to your employees who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are subject to written confidentiality undertakings at least as protective of our Confidential Information as set forth herein. All right, title and interest in and to Confidential Information are and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the party disclosing it hereunder. In the event that either you or we (the “Recipient“) are required by law, regulation, judicial order or other administrative or legal requirement to disclose the disclosing party’s (the “Discloser“) Confidential Information, the Recipient agrees to notify the Discloser immediately in writing, unless otherwise prohibited by such law, regulation, order or requirement. Upon termination of these Terms (as described in Section 16 below), each party shall promptly return or destroy all Confidential Information of the other party and, upon request, certify same in writing.
13. Compliance with Laws. You agree to comply with all applicable international, national, state, regional and local laws and regulations in accessing and/or using the Console (or any part thereof) and in performing your obligations and exercising your rights under these Terms, including without limitation laws relating to privacy, data protection, and exports.
14. Representations and Warranties. You hereby represent and warrant that (a) you possess and shall maintain all rights, licenses and consents required to license to SundaySky the Consumer Data and Video Interfaces on the terms described in Section 5 above and that such license does not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual property, privacy, and/or publicity rights of any third party; (b) you possess and shall maintain all governmental and administrative licenses, permits and approvals necessary to use the Console and to perform your obligations and exercise your rights under these Terms; and (c) all Video Interfaces will (i) be free from any viruses, Trojan horses, worms, or other malicious code or items, (ii) not contain obscene language, pornography (or other adult-only content), defamatory, racist or similar content, (iii) not constitute a tort against any third party, and/or (iv) not infringe or misappropriate the intellectual, privacy or publicity rights of any third party.
15. Termination and Survival.
15.1. By SundaySky. You acknowledge and agree that SundaySky may at any time, for any reason, and without notice to you: (a) discontinue or modify any aspect of the Console; and/or (b) suspend or terminate your, or general, access to the Console (or any part thereof), and in such an event SundaySky shall not be liable to you or any third party for any loss, damage, or injury resulting or arising therefrom. Our termination of your, or general, access to, the Console shall constitute our termination of the Terms, and any Account you may have shall become cancelled upon such termination (except for a thirty (30) day period thereafter during which we will, upon your written request, grant you temporary access to your Account in order to retrieve any Consumer Data and/or Video Interfaces therein).
15.2. By You. If you object to any term or condition of these Terms, or become dissatisfied with the Console in any way, your only recourse and sole remedy is to cancel your Account (“Account Cancellation“) and immediately cease using the Console. Cancelling your Account shall constitute your termination of the Terms. You agree, however, that any Account Cancellation shall not derogate from any payment obligations you may have toward SundaySky under these Terms.
15.3. Survival and Effect of Termination. Sections 5, 6, 11, 12, 15, 16, 17, 18, 20, 21, and 22 shall survive any termination of these Terms. Upon any termination of these Terms all rights granted to you under these Terms shall become immediately revoked, and you undertake to immediately cease all use of the Console.
16. Disclaimer of Warranties.
16.1. You assume all responsibility for the selection of the Console to achieve your intended results. You also acknowledge and agree that the below exclusions and disclaimers are an essential part of these Terms.

16.2. THE CONSOLE IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, AND YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THERE ARE NO REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES OR CLAIMS OF ANY KIND MADE BY SUNDAYSKY WITH RESPECT TO THE CONSOLE, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF QUALITY, PERFORMANCE, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND TITLE, OR OTHERWISE ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE.

You agree to defend and hold harmless SundaySky, its directors, officers, employees, agents and partners (each, an “Indemnified Party“) from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, actions and/or proceedings based upon or arising out of (i) your use of the Console (or any part thereof), (ii) your breach of any of these Terms, and/or (iii) your violation of a third party right or applicable law or regulation (each, a “Claim“), and you agree to indemnify and pay the Indemnified Party for any and all damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including but not limited to reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the Claim, or in the settlement or avoidance of the Claim. SundaySky will notify you of any Claim that is subject to the foregoing obligation.
