1. The Service

This online community television service (“Service”) is provided to you by Videojuicer Limited (“Videojuicer”, “we” or “us”) on behalf of the Community Environment Owner (“Community Environment Owner” or “CEO”) subject to the terms and conditions below (“Agreement”). The “Service” includes this website (“Site”) and all associated services and software and the audiovisual content made available through the Site, now or in the future (“Content”). The Service enables the creation of a community that produces, views, shares and remixes Content on multiple media through use of the Service’s “Playout” function. As part of this community, users (“you”) may watch, and may be able to create Content, upload it to your own channel on the Site, share it, and remix it with other Content or display it on your website (on the terms set out below).

You may also be able to upload or display audio and/or visual musical works (“Musical Works”) on the Site and receive royalties for their use, if you enter into a distribution licence with Videojuicer (“Distribution Licence”). This particular service is specifically designed to keep track of who submits a Musical Work, and where it’s used so that we can give credit for it when it’s used by others.

If you do not own the rights in or to, or have the requisite permissions to license, a Musical Work, Videojuicer may be able to help you to produce and distribute your own Musical Work. You will need to enter into a recording agreement (a “Recording Agreement”) and a production and distribution licence (a “Production and Distribution Licence”) with Videojuicer in order to do this. The Musical Work may then be featured on the Site and you’ll receive credit for it when it’s used by others.
