Make sure to include both the Uniform Resource Locator ("URL") for the non-complying video or content, and the reasons you believe it does not comply. You may not use your account to breach security of another account or attempt to gain unauthorized access to another network or server. Customers and/or Advertisers who violate systems or network security may incur criminal or civil liability.

You agree that we may at any time, and at our sole discretion, terminate your account without prior notice to you and without reimbursement if we suspect a violation any of these Video Ads Terms of Service.

Intellectual Property

Others' Intellectual Property Rights: iPromote deeply respects the third party intellectual property rights that may be implicated in creating a Video Ad Unit. These intellectual property rights, and your responsibilities with respect to these rights, are outlined below.

In creating a Video Ad Unit, you will be able to use your own ("Image Content") such as photos, graphics, text, or video segments. The Services may allow iPromote Customers and/or Advertisers to upload their own Musical Content or to use Musical Content provided by iPromote for creating your Video Ad Unit.

Both the Image Content and Musical Content have associated intellectual property rights as described further herein. You retain any and all rights you hold with respect to Image Content and Musical Content.

Image Content may be protected by copyright, even if not marked with the © symbol. If you are not the creator of Image Content, then you must get permission from the creator of the Image Content or the copyright holder to use the Image Content in a Video Ad Unit. For example, professionally-taken photographs should not be used in a Video Ad Unit unless you have received permission from the photographer to do so. As another example, professionally-produced video clips, such as clips of TV shows or movies, should not be used in a Video Ad Unit unless you have received a license to do so from the owner of the copyright.

Furthermore, if you want to publish Image Content of someone other than yourself, you must get permission from the individuals portrayed in the Image Content before using the content in a Video Ad Unit. Do not upload any Image Content that is confidential or proprietary. We assume no liability with respect to the disclosure or use of confidential or proprietary information uploaded to the Services.

Musical Content that is not an original creation by you is also protectable under copyright laws. Copying music without purchasing or obtaining the rights to the music is against the law. When you upload your own Musical Content, you must be sure that you have the permission to use such Musical Content in a Video Ad Unit prior to doing so. If you are unsure as to whether you have the permission to use Musical Content within the Scope of Use, then you should use Musical Content made available to you through the Services.

You warrant that all Content, including Image Content and Musical Content, uploaded by you, either from your own computer or another website/server, is either created and owned by you, or you have the necessary licenses, rights and permissions to (a) use the Content to create and display an Video Ad Unit as you intend and within the Scope of Use; (b) use the Content as contemplated by the Services and your Scope of Use, and (c) to grant iPromote the rights described herein. Please be aware that your use of the Content may be interpreted as a use for commercial purposes pursuant to copyright laws. Even if you believe you have certain rights to use third party Content, you should ensure that you have the appropriate rights to use such Content for commercial purposes and within the Scope of Use. We cannot, and do not intend to, provide you legal advice or assistance regarding acquisition of appropriate intellectual property rights. If you are unsure as to whether you have the appropriate rights to use the Content within your Scope of Use, you should consult an attorney.

All trademarks and/or service marks displayed on the Services are the exclusive property of their respective owners, and may not be used without the owner's permission.

Notice of Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringement: If you believe that any of your intellectual property rights have been infringed by an iPromote Customer or Advertiser using the Video Ad Services pursuant to Section 512 of the Copyright Revision Act, as enacted through the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DCMA”), please see iPromote’s Copyright Policy.
