Removal of Content by Inlet
If we reasonably believe that any Content on the Inlet Platform is in breach of the Agreement (including the restrictions and guidelines of the Inlet Platform, as described herein) or may cause harm to Inlet, our users, third parties or the Inlet Platform (or any portion thereof), then we may remove or take down such Content in our discretion. In addition, and due to potential storage space issues, if any of Your Content or Third-Party Content added or uploaded to the Inlet Platform by you has not been used in an Ad-Supported Video Broadcast or a Premium Broadcast within a thirty (30) day period, and if such Content is not used in an Ad-Supported Video Broadcast or a Premium Broadcast within thirty (30) days of the date of such notice, then we reserve the right to remove such unused Content from the InletMedia Platform. If we remove or take down any of Your Content or any Third-Party Content added or uploaded to the Inlet Platform by you, then we will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so would: (a) breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for Inlet or our service providers or licensors; (b) compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Inlet Platform; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Inlet or any of our service providers or licensors.
Copyright Protection
We are committed to help copyright holders to protect their rights in copyrighted material. For further information, please see our policy on Claims of Copyright and Trademark Infringement.
Advertising Revenue Share
For Ad-Supported Video Broadcasts, Inlet shall use commercially reasonable efforts to monetize the display and distribution of the Content included in such Ad-Supported Video Broadcast, which will be in the form of selling and serving, either directly or through one or more third parties, advertising inventory against such Content (“Monetization”), and you expressly grant to Inlet the right to so monetize the display and distribution of such Content. In accordance with the terms set forth in one or more Ad-Supported Video Broadcast Order Forms that are approved in writing (which approval may be submitted electronically) by both you and Inlet, each of Inlet and you will receive a percentage share of the Net Advertising Revenue (as defined below) resulting from the Monetization (the “Revenue Share”). For the avoidance of doubt, and unless you have a Premium Account and are using it for a Premium Broadcast, you shall be prohibited from selling advertisements or sponsorships against the Inlet Platform or any Content being broadcast or displayed via the Inlet Platform without receiving the prior written consent of Inlet and agreeing to a mutually-determined revenue share for all revenue resulting from such advertisement or sponsorship.
Definitions
As used in the Agreement, the term “Net Advertising Revenue” shall mean, for each Ad-Supported Video Broadcast, the gross advertising revenue actually received by Inlet on a non-refundable basis from the Monetization of your Ad-Supported Video Broadcast, less any costs incurred by or charged to Inlet for the placement of the related advertisement(s), which costs may include ad serving fees, sales commissions and publisher fees, and also less any overhead costs directly relating to the placement of such advertisement(s), including costs of transcoding and encoding the related Content, content delivery network charges in connection with such Content, and required payments to original equipment manufacturers and other business partners of Inlet directly related to the placement of such advertisement(s) and/or the broadcasting and distribution of the applicable Ad-Supported Video Broadcast.
Accounting of Revenue Share
Inlet will account to you in respect of the Revenue Share, if any, on a quarterly basis, within sixty (60) days after the end of each calendar quarter. Inlet shall have the right to withhold such amounts as may be required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable statute, regulation, rule, treaty or law. All Revenue Share statements shall be sent to you either via the Inlet Platform or email, and shall be deemed final, conclusively binding and not subject to challenge or suit on the date that is three (3) months from the date the applicable statement was sent to you. Payment of any applicable percentage of Revenue Share by Inlet to you may be withheld and shall roll over to a subsequent calendar quarter until such time that the payment due to you is at least $100.
With respect to all payments and reporting for Net Advertising Revenue under this Agreement, Inlet shall be solely responsible for the calculation of all relevant advertising-related statistics, which may include impressions, clicks, actions and revenue generated on the Inlet Platform and outside publisher sites, as applicable, and resultant payments due to you for the Revenue Share. We may make adjustments to our advertising statistics as necessary to account for, among other things, specific contractual provisions, statistical errors, any amounts refunded to advertisers in connection with errors (such as impressions based on invalid queries or invalid clicks or impressions on advertisements generated by any person, bot, automated program or similar device, including solicited by payment of money, false representation, or request for users to click on or view advertisements). You acknowledge and agree that Inlet is permitted to share advertising-related statistics with our business partners in connection with our reporting obligations to such partners.
No Guarantee of Advertising Revenue
While Inlet commits to using commercially reasonable efforts to generate advertising revenue from your Ad-Supported Video Broadcasts, we make no guarantee as to the amount, if any, of revenue that will be generated from any Ad-Supported Video Broadcast.
