7. User Submissions.

As a CopyMotion account holder you may submit video Content (“User Submissions”) to the Site in order that CopyMotion may use the User Submissions as the basis for determining the existence of Unauthorized Copies on Scanned Sites. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are published, CopyMotion does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any User Submissions.

You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the consequences of posting them. In connection with User Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: you own all patent, trademark, trade secret, copyright or other proprietary rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Site, the Services and this Agreement, including without limiting the foregoing the right to determine and identify the existence of infringing copies of your User Submissions on the Scanned Sites.

While CopyMotion permits some reasonable deletion and replacement of User Submissions, if CopyMotion perceives that your account is deleting and replacing videos at a rate or in a manner deemed unacceptable to CopyMotion, including the deletion of a User Submission and then replacing that same User Submission sometime later, CopyMotion may, in its sole discretion, terminate your account.

Upon termination of your subscription or this Agreement, CopyMotion shall have the right to retain copies of your User Submissions for as long as reasonably necessary to assist CopyMotion in its efforts to continually improve the copy matching ability of the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all retained User Submissions shall continue to be subject to the confidentiality terms of this Agreement.

10. Service Levels.

CopyMotion's ability to identify Unuathorized Copies on Scanned Sites is limited by the quality of the User Submissions that you submit. In the event that the Services misidentify videos on Scanned Sites as Unauthorized Copies when they are not, or the omissions of actual Unauthorized Copies from search results, CopyMotion shall use such results to improve the proprietary search technology underlying the Services. You acknowledge and agree that, while CopyMotion endeavors to provide rapid delivery of the search results associated with the Services, CopyMotion cannot guarantee the turn-around time for use of the Services, including any matching searches for Unauthorized Copies.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive termination of this Agreement and your use of the Site and Services.

14. Fees and Payments.

If you are purchasing a CopyMotion subscription, it will renew and continue automatically, unless terminated by CopyMotion or until you notify CopyMotion of your decision to terminate your subscription by canceling your service on-line at the client support center. All subscriptions start the day you order the Services (and such day is included in the calculation of the termination periods). If there are any annual, monthly, or other periodic fees for your subscription, you authorize CopyMotion to automatically bill these fees to the credit card, depending on the type of charge card you designate during the registration process for the Services or subsequently designate at the start of the annual, monthly or similar period, and at the start of each renewal period, unless you terminate your subscription before the relevant period begins.

CopyMotion outsources all online payment processing to Amazon. CopyMotion does not have access to credit card numbers and certain other payment information submitted to Amazon as a result of the online payment process. You agree to provide Amazon with accurate, complete and updated information required by the subscription registration form. Failure to comply may result in the immediate termination of Services.

Payments for any billing cycle are due on or before the preceding billing cycle. In the event that payment is not timely made, CopyMotion reserves the right to charge a late fee of $35 in addition to your monthly subscription.

If you believe someone has accessed the Services using your username and password without your authorization, you must inform CopyMotion via the technical support page at http://www.copymotion.com/contact.php. You must contact CopyMotion via the technical support page at http://www.copymotion.com/contact.php about any billing problems or discrepancies within 60 days after they first appear on your account statement.

15. Cancellation.

CopyMotion may discontinue, terminate or change the Services, or its availability to you, at any time, although CopyMotion shall endeavor to notify you in advance of any termination to allow you to cure any defaults CopyMotion alleges under this Agreement. You may cancel your renewal of the Services at any time on-line at the client support center or by contacting CopyMotion at http://www.copymotion.com/contact.php.

If you cancel your subscription you will not receive a refund for the period in which you cancel, but you will not be billed for any renewal periods. In the event you cancel your subscription in the middle of a billing cycle, you will still receive access to the Services for the balance of that cycle for which you have paid. Other than as explicitly set forth in this Agreement, all payments are non-refundable. All cancellation dates will be the date that your cancellation notice is received. You understand and agree that cancellation of your subscription is your sole right and remedy with respect to any dispute with CopyMotion.
