Videoly terms of service

Terms of Service are defined in Videoly Service Agreement which may vary for some exceptional cases.

1. Scope of Terms; Parties

These Terms apply to Agreement(s) (defined below) on the provision of the service ("Service") by Videoly Oy (Finnish business ID 2619227-4) ("Videoly" or "Supplier") to the customer named in the Agreement ("Customer"). These Terms form an integral part of the Agreement. The Supplier and the Customer are also hereinafter referred to each as a "Party" and together as the "Parties".

"Agreement" means the agreement signed between the Parties regarding the provision of the Service and any other documents (in electronic or other written form) in which the Parties agree on the Supplier's provision of the Service to the Customer, such as the Supplier's binding offer signed by the Customer. Also electronic signatures are valid.

2. Background

The Agreement (including these Terms) sets out the terms and conditions that govern the Customer's use of the Service.

3. Service

The Service adds links to official product demo videos as well as third party product reviews (all together the "Third Party Content") to the online store (the "Store") operated by the Customer. The Third Party Content is hosted and played by YouTube and possible other third party services (each a "Third Party Service").

Videoly shall not be responsible or liable for any Third Party Content or Third Party Services. Third Party Content is made available to the Customer subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the Third Party Service. Third Party Content sourced from YouTube is made available pursuant to YouTube Terms of Service (www.youtube.com /t/terms), YouTube API Services and Google Privacy Policy (https://policies.google.com/privacy).

Notwithstanding the above, Videoly warrants that links are added only to Third Party Content or Third Party Services that have been made available on the open internet free of charge and are explicitly allowed to be used on third-party websites.

Use of the Service is subject to the Customer's continued compliance with the terms and conditions of the Agreement. Videoly warrants that links are added in compliance with the terms and conditions applicable to the Third Party Content and Services and applicable laws, rules and regulations.

The Customer may not, and may not authorize any third party to (i) probe, scan, or test the Service or the systems or networks used in making the Service available; (ii) break, intervene or circumvent any technologies Videoly has put in place for security or authentication; or (iii) attack or burden the Service or systems or networks used in making the Service available.

4. Confidentiality

Each Party shall keep in confidence all material and information received from the other Party and marked as confidential or which should be understood to be confidential, and may not use such material or information for any other purposes than those set forth in the Agreement.

The confidentiality obligation shall, however, not be applied to material and information,

(a) which is generally available or otherwise public without any act or omission of the receiving Party; or

(b) which the Party has received from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; or

(c) which was in the possession of the receiving Party prior to receipt of the same from the other Party without any obligation of confidentiality related thereto; or

(d) which a Party has independently developed without using material or information received from the other Party.

Furthermore, the Supplier may provide the Customer's confidential information to its subcontractors in order to fulfil the purpose of the Agreement.

The rights and responsibilities under this section shall survive the termination or cancellation of the Agreement.

5. Limitation of Liability

The Service is provided to the Customer on an "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE" basis. Without limiting the foregoing, to the full extent permitted by law, Videoly disclaims all warranties, express or implied, and expressly disclaims the warranties or conditions of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Videoly shall not be responsible or liable for the accuracy, usefulness or availability of any information transmitted or made available via the Service, and shall not be responsible or liable for any error or omissions in that information. IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND, WITHOUT LIMITING THE CUSTOMER'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS,  A PARTY'S AGGREGATE MAXIMUM LIABILITY UNDER THE AGREEMENT FOR ANY AND ALL EVENTS, ACTIONS AND OMISSIONS OCCURRED DURING EACH CONTRACTUAL YEAR  AND FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF SUCH EVENTS, ACTIONS AND OMISSIONS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF THE PRICES (EXCLUDING VAT) PAID BY THE CUSTOMER TO THE SUPPLIER UNDER THE AGREEMENT DURING THAT CONTRACTUAL YEAR. Each Party acknowledges that the other Party has entered into the Agreement relying on the limitations of liability stated herein and that those limitations are an essential basis of the bargain between the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing and except for payment obligations, neither Party shall have any liability for any failure or delay resulting from any condition beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but not limited to acts of God, strikes and other labor disputes, power failures and interruptions in communications connections.

The above limitation of liability does not apply to gross negligence or intentional breaches, or breaches of confidentiality.

6. Changes

10. Governing Law and Resolutions of Disputes
