Subject to the terms of the applicable Subscription Plan, a Multi-Seat Account may allow you to, or require that you, enable one or more administrators to manage, access, and use the account and any associated Content, and to enable or remove Authorized Users. If you purchase a Subscription Plan for a Multi-Seat Account as a legal entity in connection with your business, you may assign seats to your employees, who will be considered your Authorized Users.

  • for any content produced or provided by the Host;

  • for any activities carried out during any Content; and

  • for monitoring and managing the conduct of Users in connection with any Content.

If you are a Viewer or a Guest, you should contact the Host directly for any of the above matters. If you are a Host, it is solely your responsibility to respond to and resolve any dispute between the you and any Viewer or Guest, as the case may be. As a Host, you may also block or revoke a Viewer or Guest’s access to your Content at any time and in your sole discretion.‍ As a Host, you are solely responsible for your Content, including, but not limited to, for how others interact with or use your Content, for determining how and with whom it is shared or published, and for regularly backing it up.

Your Content will be available to you to export or download depending on your Subscription Plan and only during the period specified under the terms of your Subscription Plan, after which we have no obligation to maintain, and we may delete your Content from the Service. We may also delete your Content if your account is inactive in accordance with section 4.4. 

5.7 Infringing Content. We may use human and automated means to screen, monitor, detect Content that may violate these Terms or otherwise cause harm to us, our users, or third parties. We also respond to notices of alleged infringement of third-party rights that comply with and satisfy the requirements set out by applicable law. The use of such means does not relieve you of your obligations under these Terms, and we disclaim any liability for their implementation, operation, or effectiveness. We may investigate any suspected violations and, during such investigation, temporarily block access to your Content and suspend your access to the Service in accordance with section 7. Following our investigation, without limiting any other rights or remedies available to us under these Terms or applicable law, we may take, at our discretion, one or more of the following actions: (a) permanently remove or disable access to some or all of your Content, (b) suspend or terminate your account (if any) and your access to any portion or all of the Service in accordance with section 7, and (c) disclose your Content, your registration information, or both, to governmental or public authorities, law enforcement agencies, or third parties, where legally required or reasonably deemed necessary to comply with our legal obligations, protect our interests, or safeguard third parties. For additional details, please refer to our Community Guidelines and Content Moderation Policy.

6. Subscriptions and Automatic Renewals; Fee and Payments

6.1. Subscription Plan. Certain features of the Service may require a paid subscription (“Subscription Plan”) that may automatically renew. Each Subscription Plan may include specific eligibility requirements and permitted uses, as described on the Website’s pricing page. By subscribing, you represent that you meet the applicable eligibility criteria and that your use complies with the stated purpose of the plan. Any material misuse or deviation from the intended purpose may constitute a violation of these Terms and may result in corrective action, including suspension or termination of your plan. Each Subscription Plan is offered for a defined license period (“Subscription Period”) which may vary (for example, with weekly, monthly, or annual terms), as specified at checkout. Upon expiration of the Subscription Period, your Subscription Plan will automatically renew for recurring Subscription Periods of the same duration, unless the Subscription Plan is canceled or not renewed in accordance with these Terms. By purchasing a Subscription Plan that automatically renews (a) you authorize us to charge the applicable Subscription Fee to your designated payment method for your initial Subscription Period and automatically upon each renewal with no further action required by you, and (b) you must keep your payment method up to date in your account settings or by contacting us via our Help Center.

6.2. Renewal. You may elect to not renew a Subscription Plan by logging into your account and canceling your Subscription Plan before the end of the then-current Subscription Period. We may elect to not renew a subscription plan by providing notice to you before the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Expiration of the Subscription Plan due to any non-renewal will be effective as of the end of the then-current Subscription Period. This means you will not receive a refund or credit for the Subscription Fee you already paid for such Subscription Period, and you will continue to be able to use the Service for which you subscribed until the end of such Subscription Period. Unused add-ons, features, allowances or any other items of your Subscription Plan will not be reimbursed and do not rollover to any subsequent Subscription Period or renewal term, if applicable. You can downgrade your Subscription Plan or reduce your add-ons in your account, but such downgrades will not become effective until the end of your current Subscription Period, and you will not receive a refund or credit for such downgrade or reduction of features for the then-current Subscription Periods. Downgrading your Subscription Plan may cause loss of Content, features, or functionality of the Service available to you, and we will not be responsible for any such loss.

6.3 Fees. You agree to pay all fees, including the then-current subscription fees applicable to your Subscription Plan (“Subscription Fee”), and any applicable taxes for the use of the Service in the manner, currency, and on the dates specified at checkout and upon the renewal of your Subscription Plan. We may monitor your use of the Service to ensure compliance with the limitations and restrictions of your Subscription Plan. If your usage exceeds the allowances or limits of your Subscription Plan, you agree that we may charge you additional fees for such overages at the then-current rates, in addition to any other remedies available to us under these Terms or at law. 

6.4 Fees and Payment Terms Changes. We may update or change our fees (including, but not limited to, any Subscription Fee) and payment terms at any time at our sole discretion. Changes to fees will not apply retroactively and changes to Subscription Fee will become effective upon the renewal of your Subscription Plan. We may offer and discontinue free trials, promotional subscription fees, or other offers at any time at our sole discretion, including on the basis of automated decision-making. Upon expiration of such offers, you will be charged the applicable Subscription Fee.

6.5 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of taxes, unless otherwise specified by us. We will charge any applicable taxes in connection with the Service or any fees under these Terms as required by law. You may not withhold any taxes or charges or set off any amounts due to us. We reserve the right to withhold the payment of any amounts owed to you under these Terms and dispose of them as required by law, in each case as determined by us, or to seek later payment from you of any amounts on taxes uncollected and unremitted.

6.6 Late or Non-Payments. If we do not receive your timely payment of the applicable Subscription Fee or other due fees, we may, at our discretion, take one or more of the following actions: (a) revoke any credit terms or other payment accommodation which might have been previously afforded to you, (b) accelerate your entire account balance, (c) suspend or terminate your access to your account and to any portion or all of the Service in accordance with section 7, or (d) downgrade your Subscription Plan and charge you the Subscription Fee applicable to the downgraded Subscription Plan (if any), without any responsibility for any loss of features, Content, data, or functionality of the Service caused by such downgrading. If your payment of outstanding Subscription Fee or other fees fails as a result of insufficient funds in or other issues with your designated payment method, we may seek to recover the outstanding amount by, at our discretion, continuing to attempt to charge the outstanding amount to the same designated payment method, or dividing the outstanding amount in smaller amounts and charging such smaller amounts to the same designated payment method, in which case we will use reasonable efforts to notify you.

6.7 Credit Card Payment Fee. Payments with credit cards may be subject to an additional processing fee as specified at checkout.

6.8 Designated Affiliate. Any amounts payable to us under these Terms may be billed, invoiced, charged, and enforced by Bending Spoons US Payflow LLC or by any of our affiliates that may act on our behalf with respect to the Service. You acknowledge and agree that such affiliate is a third-party beneficiary of this section 6 and will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as a third-party beneficiary.

9.1 Confidential Information. “Confidential Information” means all information disclosed by one party to the other party in connection with the provision of the Service that either is specifically identified as “confidential” by the disclosing party at the time of disclosure, or under the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, should reasonably be considered to be confidential. Confidential Information includes but is not limited to, our product roadmap, pricing, security practices, company information and beta features. Confidential Information excludes (a) Content, (b) information that is publicly known or generally available to the public, or becomes publicly known or generally available to the public through no fault of the receiving party, (c) information that was in the possession of the receiving party without any confidentiality obligation prior to receipt from the disclosing party, (d) information that is rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without any confidentiality obligations, or (d) information that is independently developed by the receiving party without use of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

9.2 Protection of Confidential Information. Each party shall protect the other party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as each party protects its own Confidential Information, but with no less than reasonable care. Each party may use the other party’s Confidential Information solely to exercise its respective rights and perform its respective obligations in connection with the provision of the Service and, except as expressly permitted in these Terms, may disclose such Confidential Information (a) solely to the employees, advisors, contractors, and representatives who need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by terms of confidentiality intended to prevent the misuse of such Confidential Information at least as restrictive as those in these Terms; (b) as necessary to comply with an order or subpoena of an administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction provided that the receiving party gives the disclosing party sufficient notice to enable it to seek an order to limit or prevent such disclosure; or (c) to the extent necessary to comply with applicable law. 

10. Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability

10.1 Disclaimer of Warranties. You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Service is at your sole risk. To the maximum extent permitted by law, the Service (including, without limitation, any integration with Third-Party Products) is provided on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis, without warranties of any kind, and we disclaim all warranties, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, warranties of merchantability, title, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and non-infringement. You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for verifying the compatibility of the Service with your own software, hardware, devices, system requirements and operational needs. You acknowledge that we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, error-free, free from viruses or other malicious software.  We disclaim any warranties arising from a course of dealing, course of performance, or usage of trade. No oral or written advice or information given by us or our authorized representatives or obtained though the Service will create a warranty. 

10.2 Limitation of Liability. To the maximum extent permitted under applicable law, neither you nor we (and our affiliates, parent companies, officers, agents, employees, partners, licensors, contractors, permitted successors and permitted assigns) will be liable for any consequential, indirect, special, moral, exemplary, or punitive loss or damages, including, without limitation, lost profits, lost sales or business, lost data, business interruption, loss of goodwill, costs of cover or replacement, under any legal theory (whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise), arising out of or related to your use or inability to use the Service, unless such damages are caused by our breach of these Terms. Either party’s total liability for all direct damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us (or, as applied to your aggregate liability, payable by you) in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). This limitation does not apply to your payment obligations under these Terms. This amount represents our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, including under or in relation to the Data Processing Addendum. The foregoing limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose. The limitations of damages set forth above are fundamental elements of the basis of the bargain between you and us. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT ABSENT YOUR AGREEMENT TO THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, WE WOULD NOT PROVIDE THE SERVICE TO YOU.

11. Indemnification

11.1 Your indemnification. You will indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, our and our affiliates’ directors, officers, agents, employees, partners, licensors, contractors, permitted successors and permitted assignees (“Indemnitees”) harmless against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, penalties, fines, awards, judgments cost and expenses of whatever kind, including, but not limited to, professional fees and reasonable attorneys’ fee incurred by our Indemnitees, arising out of or connected to a third-party claim or action related to (a) your or your Authorized Users access to or use of the Service; (b) any breach of these Terms by you, your Authorized Users, or any person accessing the Service using your account or device; (c) your or your Authorized Users’ violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); (d) your or your Authorized Users’ violation of any applicable law or regulation; (f) your or your Authorized Users’ conduct in connection with the Service; (g) your Content. You will promptly notify us of any third-party claims subject to indemnification.

11.2 Our Indemnification. StreamYard will indemnify you against all damages awarded by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of a third-party claim alleging that the Services infringe any third-party intellectual property right.  If all or any part of the Services become or we reasonably believe that are likely to become, the subject of any such infringement claim, we may, at our discretion and expense, (a) procure the right for you to continue using all or part of the Service in accordance with these Terms, (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing Service so that they are non-infringing, or (c) terminate our agreement and refund you a prorated portion of any Subscription Fees that you may have previously paid to us for the unused Service and Subscription Period. We will have no responsibility or obligation regarding any third-party intellectual property claim if it is caused in whole or in part by (i) use of the Service in a manner not authorized by these Terms or that violates the law, (ii) compliance with designs, data, instructions, or specifications provided by you, (iii) modification of the Service, unless performed or authorized by us, or (iv) the combination, operation or use of the Service with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The remedies in this section are your sole and exclusive remedies for any third-party claim that the Service infringe intellectual property rights. The indemnification under this section does not apply if you are a non-paying customer or under a free Subscription Plan or for Trials and Betas.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

12.1 Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute, claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims), or matters arising out of or in connection with these Terms and the Service will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, U.S., excluding any conflict-of-laws rule or principle that might refer the governance or the construction of these Terms to the law of any other jurisdiction.

12.2 Jurisdiction. If a dispute, claim or matter arising out of or in connection with these Terms is not subject to arbitration pursuant to section 13, you agree that any claim or dispute arising out of these Terms or the Service must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in New York, New York, U.S., and you agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within New York, New York, U.S. (and, for the avoidance of doubt, to exclude the jurisdiction of any other court) for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes. 

13. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU AND US TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU AND WE CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM EACH OTHER. ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU AND US FROM SUING IN COURT OR HAVING A JURY TRIAL. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ARBITRATION WILL BE SOLELY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A CLASS ARBITRATION, CLASS ACTION, OR ANY OTHER KIND OF REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. WE AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE TERMS IN THIS SECTION ARE INTENDED TO REDUCE THE FINANCIAL BURDENS ASSOCIATED WITH RESOLVING THEIR DISPUTES AND ARE NOT INTENDED TO DELAY ADJUDICATION OF ANY CLAIMS.

FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW IN SECTION 13(K) IF YOU WISH TO OPT OUT OF THE REQUIREMENT TO ARBITRATE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS.

a) Claims Subject to this Section. The dispute resolution and binding arbitration terms in this section 13 apply to all Claims between you and us. A “Claim” is any dispute, claim, cause of action, or controversy (excluding those exceptions listed below) between you and us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory for which either party wishes to seek legal recourse and that arises from or relates to these Terms or our Services, including any related to privacy or data-security or to the formation, validity, enforceability, revocability, performance, breach, or scope of these Terms or arbitration agreement or any portion of it or arising out of or relating to interpretation or application of these Terms or arbitration agreement.

b) Informal Dispute Resolution Prior to Arbitration. If you have a Claim against us or if we have a Claim against you, you and we must first attempt to resolve the Claim informally in order to try to resolve the Claim faster and reduce costs for both parties. You and we will make a good-faith effort to negotiate the resolution of any Claim for 45 (forty-five) days, or such longer period as mutually agreed in writing (email suffices) by the parties, (“Informal Resolution Period”) from the day either party receives a written notice of a dispute from the other party (a “Claimant Notice”) in accordance with these Terms.

You will send any Claimant Notice to us by certified mail addressed to Bending Spoons Operations S.p.A., Via Nino Bonnet 10, 20154 Milan, Italy, or by email to legal@streamyard.com. We will send any Claimant Notice to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to us or via reasonably available means of notice if you have not provided certified mail or email contact information to us. The Claimant Notice sent by either party must (i) include the sender’s name, address, email address, telephone number, and any relevant purchase information; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Claim; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought.

The Informal Resolution Period is intended to allow the party who has received a Claimant Notice to make a fair, fact-based offer of settlement if it chooses to do so. You or we cannot initiate arbitration before the end of the Informal Resolution Period. If you or we file a Claim in court or initiate arbitration without first providing a compliant Claimant Notice and waiting until the conclusion of the Informal Resolution Period, the other party reserves the right to seek relief from a court or arbitrator to enjoin the filing or arbitration and seek damages from the party that has not followed the informal dispute-resolution process to reimburse it for any costs and fees—including arbitration, attorney, and expert fees—incurred as a foreseeable consequence of that breach.

The statute of limitations and any filing-fee deadlines for a Claim shall be tolled for the duration of the Informal Resolution Period for that Claim so that the parties can engage in this informal dispute-resolution process.

c) Claims Subject to Binding Arbitration; Exceptions. Except for individual disputes that qualify for small-claims court (provided that the small-claims court does not permit class or similar representative actions or relief) and any disputes exclusively related to the intellectual property or intellectual-property rights of you or us, including any disputes in which you or we seek injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use or infringement of your or our intellectual property (“IP Claims”), all Claims, including Claims that are not related to intellectual property but are jointly filed with IP Claims, that are not resolved in accordance with section 13(b) will be resolved by a neutral arbitrator through final and binding arbitration instead of in a court by a judge or jury.

d) Binding Individual Arbitration. Subject to the terms of this section, Claims may only be adjudicated by binding individual arbitration conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”), https://namadr.com, according to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq., (“FAA”) and NAM’s Comprehensive Dispute Resolution Rules and Procedures in effect at the time the Claim arose (the “Rules”), as modified by these Terms.

These Terms affect interstate commerce, and the enforceability of this section 13 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the FAA to the extent permitted by law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Claim and to grant any remedy or relief that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. To the fullest extent allowed by applicable law, the arbitrator may only award legal or equitable remedies that are individual to you or us to satisfy one of our individual Claims (that the arbitrator determines are supported by credible relevant evidence).

e) Arbitration Procedure and Location. You or we may initiate arbitration of any Claim not resolved during the Informal Resolution Period by filing a demand for arbitration with NAM.

Instructions for filing a demand for arbitration with NAM are available on the NAM website or by emailing NAM at commercial@namadr.com. You will send a copy of any demand for arbitration to us by certified mail addressed to Bending Spoons Operations S.p.A., Via Nino Bonnet 10, 20154 Milan, Italy, or by email to legal@streamyard.com. We will send any demand for arbitration to you by certified mail or email using the contact information you have provided to us or via reasonably available means of notice if you have not provided certified mail or email contact information to us.

The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator in the English language. You and we both agree that the arbitrator will be bound by these Terms.

For Claims in which the claimant seeks USD $10,000 or less, the arbitrator will decide the matter solely based on written submissions, without a formal hearing, unless the arbitrator decides that a formal hearing is necessary. For Claims in which the claimant seeks more than USD $10,000, or smaller matters in which the arbitrator determines a hearing to be necessary, hearings will be conducted by video or telephone, unless the arbitrator determines an in-person hearing is necessary. If an in-person hearing is required and you reside in the United States, the hearing will take place in New York, New York, unless you are a Consumer and/or the arbitrator determines that this would pose a hardship for you, in which case the in-person hearing may be conducted in the claimant’s state and county of residence. If you reside outside the United States, the site of any in-person hearing will be determined by the applicable Rules.

The arbitrator (not a judge or jury) will resolve all Claims in arbitration. Unless you and we agree otherwise, any decision or award will include a written statement stating the decision of each Claim and the basis for the award, including the arbitrator’s essential factual and legal findings and conclusions.

An arbitration award and any judgment confirming it apply only to that specific case; they cannot be used or offered as precedent in any other case except to enforce the award itself unless the parties agree prior to issuance of the award. Any arbitration decision or award may be enforced as a final judgment by any court of competent jurisdiction or, if applicable, application may be made to such court for judicial confirmation of any award and an order of enforcement.

f) Arbitration Fees. Except for circumstances outlined in section 13(g), each party will be responsible for arbitration fees in accordance with the applicable Rules and these Terms.

g) Frivolous or Improper Claims. To the extent permitted by applicable law, a claimant must pay all costs and fees incurred by the defending party—including arbitration, attorney, and expert fees—related to a Claim if an arbitrator determines that (i) the Claim was frivolous or (ii) the Claim was filed for any improper purpose, such as to harass the responding party, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution.

h) One Year to Assert Claims. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY CLAIM BY YOU OR US AGAINST THE OTHER MUST BE FILED WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER SUCH CLAIM ARISES; OTHERWISE, THE CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED, WHICH MEANS THAT YOU OR WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE THE RIGHT TO ASSERT THAT CLAIM.

i) Confidentiality. If you or we submit a Claim to arbitration, you and we agree to cooperate to seek from the arbitrator protection for any confidential, proprietary, trade secret, or otherwise sensitive information, documents, testimony, and other materials that might be exchanged or the subject of discovery in the arbitration. You and we agree to seek such protection before any such information, documents, testimony, or materials are exchanged or otherwise become the subject of discovery in the arbitration.

j) Coordinated Filings. If 25 or more Claimant Notices are received by a party that raise similar claims and have the same or coordinated counsel, these will be considered “Coordinated Claims” and will be treated as mass filings, mass arbitrations or multiple case filings according to the Rules, if and to the extent Coordinated Claims are filed in arbitration as set forth in these Terms. You or we may advise the other of your or our belief that Claims are Coordinated Claims, and disputes over whether a Claim meets the definition of “Coordinated Claims” will be decided by the arbitration provider as an administrative matter. The following procedures are intended to supplement the Rules, and to the extent the procedures conflict with those Rules, to supersede them.

COORDINATED CLAIMS MAY ONLY BE FILED IN ARBITRATION AS PERMITTED BY THE BELLWETHER PROCESS SET FORTH BELOW. APPLICABLE STATUTES OF LIMITATIONS WILL BE TOLLED FOR CLAIMS ASSERTED AS COORDINATED CLAIMS FROM THE TIME A COMPLIANT CLAIMANT NOTICE HAS BEEN RECEIVED BY A Party UNTIL THESE PLATFORM TERMS PERMIT SUCH COORDINATED CLAIMS TO BE FILED IN ARBITRATION OR COURT.

Initial Bellwether: The bellwether process set forth in this section will not proceed until counsel representing the Coordinated Claims has advised the other party in writing (email suffices) that all or substantially all the Claimant Notices for the Coordinated Claims have been provided.

After that point, counsel for the parties will select 20 Coordinated Claims to proceed in arbitration as a bellwether to allow each side to test the merits of its claims and arguments. Each side will select 10 claimants who have provided compliant Claimant Notices for this purpose, and only those chosen cases may be filed with the arbitration provider. The parties acknowledge that resolution of some Coordinated Claims will be delayed by this bellwether process. Any remaining Coordinated Claims shall not be filed or deemed filed in arbitration, nor will any arbitration fees be assessed in connection with those Claims, unless and until they are selected to be filed in individual arbitration proceedings as set out in this section 13(j).

A single arbitrator will preside over each Coordinated Claim chosen for a bellwether proceeding, and only one Coordinated Claim may be assigned to each arbitrator as part of a bellwether process unless the parties agree otherwise.

Mediation: Once the arbitrations that are part of the bellwether process have concluded (or sooner if the claimants and the other party agree), counsel for the parties must engage in a single mediation of all remaining Coordinated Claims, with the mediator’s fee paid for by us. Counsel for the claimants and the other Party must agree on a mediator within 30 (thirty) days after the conclusion of the last bellwether arbitration. If counsel for the claimants and the other party cannot agree on a mediator within 30 (thirty) days, the arbitration provider will appoint a mediator as an administrative matter. All parties will cooperate for the purpose of ensuring that the mediation is scheduled as quickly as practicable after the mediator is appointed.

Remaining Claims: If the mediation does not yield a global resolution of all remaining Coordinated Claims, the arbitration requirement in this section 13 will no longer apply to Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party but that were not resolved in the bellwether proceedings. Such Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement must be resolved in accordance with section 12.2.

To the extent you are asserting the same Claim as other persons and are represented by common or coordinated counsel, you agree to waive any objection that the joinder of all such persons is impracticable.

If Coordinated Claims released from the arbitration requirement are brought in court, claimants may seek class treatment, but to the fullest extent allowed by law, the classes sought may comprise only the claimants in Coordinated Claims for which a compliant Claimant Notice was received by the other party. Any party may contest class certification at any stage of the litigation and on any available basis.

A court will have authority to enforce the bellwether and mediation processes defined in this section 13(j) and may enjoin the filing of lawsuits or arbitration demands not made in compliance with it.

k) Opting Out of Arbitration. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 (thirty) days of the date you first accepted these Terms by providing us with notice of your decision to opt out via email at legal@streamyard.com or by certified mail addressed to Bending Spoons Operations S.p.A., Via Nino Bonnet 10, 20154 Milan, Italy. To be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name, mailing address, and email address. The notice must also clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. If you opt out of this updated arbitration clause and were previously subject to an arbitration clause in effect prior to this updated arbitration clause, then that prior arbitration clause will remain as part of the agreement between us. If you are a new user and did not previously consent to the prior arbitration clause and you choose to opt-out of this updated agreement, then we will also not be bound by this updated arbitration clause.

l) Rejection of Future Arbitration Changes. You may reject any change we make to section 13 (except address changes) by sending us notice of your rejection within 30(thirty) days of the change via email at legal@streamyard.com or by certified mail addressed to Bending Spoons Operations S.p.A., Via Nino Bonnet 10, 20154 Milan, Italy. Changes to section 13 may only be rejected as a whole, and you may not reject only certain changes to section 13. If you reject changes made to section 13, the most recent version of section 13 that you have not rejected will continue to apply.

m) Severability. If any portion of this section 13 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, including but not limited to because it is found to be unconscionable, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision will be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision will have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this section 13 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this section 13; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, in accordance with these Terms, and not in arbitration. The litigation of those claims will be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this section 13 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief (that is, injunctive relief whose primary purpose and effect is to prohibit and enjoin conduct harmful to the general public), that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this section 13 will be enforceable. To the extent that you prevail on a Claim and seek public injunctive relief, the entitlement to and extent of such relief must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration. The parties agree that litigation of any issues of public injunctive relief will be stayed pending the outcome of the merits of any individual Claims in arbitration.

14. General 

14.1 Assignment. You will not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms, or your rights and obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law (including in connection with a merger, acquisition, change of control, or bankruptcy), without obtaining the prior written consent of one of our authorized representatives, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void. We may assign these Terms or delegate our obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without restriction and without your consent, to any person or entity at any time, on condition that the assignment does not diminish the protection of your rights. These Terms will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

14.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations relating thereto, except to the extent otherwise set forth in a written agreement executed by duly authorized representatives of both parties that expressly references and modifies these Terms. Any terms contained in any purchase order or other order documentation provided by you will be null, void, and of no effect.

14.3 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, consistent, to the extent possible, with the original intent of the parties.

14.4 No Waiver. Any failure or delay by us to exercise or enforce any of our rights under these Terms does not waive our right to enforce such rights. Any waiver of such rights will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. The rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution of any other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

14.5 Equitable Relief. You understand and agree that your breach of these Terms may cause us irreparable harm for which recovery of monetary damages will be inadequate, and that we will therefore be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction, to protect our rights under these Terms in addition to any and all remedies available under these Terms or at law, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security.

14.6 Force Majeure. We will not be responsible for a delay or failure to perform obligations under these Terms as a result of any reason or condition beyond our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”), including, but not limited to, natural disasters, war, pandemics, labor conditions, acts of terrorism, public utility or internet or telecommunication infrastructure failures, and denial of service attacks. In such cases, the failure or delay will be excused during such Force Majeure Events and the period of performance will be extended to the extent necessary to allow performance of obligations after the Force Majeure Events have been removed.

14.7 Publicity. You hereby grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your business name and logos solely to identify you as our customer on our Website and in marketing and communications materials. We will use reasonable efforts to cease use and remove your name and logos from our Website and our marketing and communication materials following the termination of your Subscription Plan, except where such removal is not reasonably possible.

14.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in sections 3.6, 3.7, 6, 11 and 15, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms other than each of our affiliates.

15. Additional Terms for App Marketplaces

6. Subscriptions and Automatic Renewals; Fee and Payments

6.1. Subscription Plan. Certain features of the Service may require a paid subscription (“Subscription Plan”) that may automatically renew. Each Subscription Plan may include specific eligibility requirements and permitted uses, as described on the Website’s pricing page. By subscribing, you represent that you meet the applicable eligibility criteria and that your use complies with the stated purpose of the plan. Any material misuse or deviation from the intended purpose may constitute a violation of these Terms and may result in corrective action, including suspension or termination of your plan. Each Subscription Plan is offered for a defined license period (“Subscription Period”) which may vary (for example, with weekly, monthly, or annual terms), as specified at checkout. Upon expiration of the Subscription Period, your Subscription Plan will automatically renew for recurring Subscription Periods of the same duration, unless the Subscription Plan is canceled or not renewed in accordance with these Terms. By purchasing a Subscription Plan that automatically renews (a) you authorize us to charge the applicable Subscription Fee to your designated payment method for your initial Subscription Period and automatically upon each renewal with no further action required by you, and (b) you must keep your payment method up to date in your account settings or by contacting us via our Help Center.

6.2. Renewal. You may elect to not renew a Subscription Plan by logging into your account and canceling your Subscription Plan before the end of the then-current Subscription Period. We may elect to not renew a subscription plan by providing notice to you before the end of the then-current Subscription Period. Expiration of the Subscription Plan due to any non-renewal will be effective as of the end of the then-current Subscription Period. This means you will not receive a refund or credit for the Subscription Fee you already paid for such Subscription Period, and you will continue to be able to use the Service for which you subscribed until the end of such Subscription Period. Unused add-ons, features, allowances or any other items of your Subscription Plan will not be reimbursed and do not rollover to any subsequent Subscription Period or renewal term, if applicable. You can downgrade your Subscription Plan or reduce your add-ons in your account, but such downgrades will not become effective until the end of your current Subscription Period, and you will not receive a refund or credit for such downgrade or reduction of features for the then-current Subscription Periods. Downgrading your Subscription Plan may cause loss of Content, features, or functionality of the Service available to you, and we will not be responsible for any such loss.

6.3 Fees. You agree to pay all fees, including the then-current subscription fees applicable to your Subscription Plan (“Subscription Fee”), and any applicable taxes for the use of the Service in the manner, currency, and on the dates specified at checkout and upon the renewal of your Subscription Plan. We may monitor your use of the Service to ensure compliance with the limitations and restrictions of your Subscription Plan. If your usage exceeds the allowances or limits of your Subscription Plan, you agree that we may charge you additional fees for such overages at the then-current rates, in addition to any other remedies available to us under these Terms or at law. 

6.4 Fees and Payment Terms Changes. We may update or change our fees (including, but not limited to, any Subscription Fee) and payment terms to reflect circumstances such as changes to the Service (including the addition of new features), changes in our business, changes in legal, regulatory, or contractual requirements, changes to the economic environment we operate in (such as variations in costs of development, licenses, technical supply, distribution, customer service, or taxes), or other justifiable or business reasons. Changes to fees will not apply retroactively and changes to Subscription Fee will become effective upon the renewal of your Subscription Plan. We will give you 30 days’ prior notice via email or, where email notification is not possible, a pop-up or push notification within the Service of any change in Subscription Fees that apply to you to give you an opportunity to not renew your Subscription Plan before such change becomes effective and in accordance with section 6.2. We may offer and discontinue free trials, promotional subscription fees, or other offers at any time at our sole discretion, including on the basis of automated decision-making. Upon expiration of such offers, you will be charged the applicable Subscription Fee.

6.5 Taxes. All fees are exclusive of taxes, unless otherwise specified by us. We will charge any applicable taxes in connection with the Service or any fees under these Terms as required by law. You may not withhold any taxes or charges or set off any amounts due to us. We reserve the right to withhold the payment of any amounts owed to you under these Terms and dispose of them as required by law, in each case as determined by us, or to seek later payment from you of any amounts on taxes uncollected and unremitted.

6.6 Late or Non-Payments. If we do not receive your timely payment of the applicable Subscription Fee or other due fees, we may, at our discretion, take one or more of the following actions: (a) revoke any credit terms or other payment accommodation which might have been previously afforded to you, (b) accelerate your entire account balance, (c) suspend or terminate your access to your account and to any portion or all of the Service in accordance with section 7, or (d) downgrade your Subscription Plan and charge you the Subscription Fee applicable to the downgraded Subscription Plan (if any), without any responsibility for any loss of features, Content, data, or functionality of the Service caused by such downgrading. If your payment of outstanding Subscription Fee or other fees fails as a result of insufficient funds in or other issues with your designated payment method, we may seek to recover the outstanding amount by, at our discretion, continuing to attempt to charge the outstanding amount to the same designated payment method, or dividing the outstanding amount in smaller amounts and charging such smaller amounts to the same designated payment method, in which case we will use reasonable efforts to notify you.

6.7 Credit Card Payment Fee. Payments with credit cards may be subject to an additional processing fee as specified at checkout.

6.8 Designated Affiliate.

Either party’s total liability for all direct damages (other than as may be required by applicable law) will not exceed the greater of (a) the total amount you paid to us (or, as applied to your aggregate liability, payable by you) in the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the event giving rise to the claim, or (b) one hundred U.S. dollars (USD 100). This limitation does not apply to your payment obligations under these Terms. This amount represents our total aggregate liability to you for all claims arising out of or in connection with your use of the Service, including under or in relation to the Data Processing Addendum. The above limitations or exclusions do not affect your statutory consumer rights in your applicable jurisdiction.

11. Indemnification

11.1 Your indemnification. You will indemnify and hold us, our affiliates, our and our affiliates’ directors, officers, agents, employees, partners, licensors, contractors, permitted successors and permitted assignees (“Indemnitees”) harmless against all losses, liabilities, damages, deficiencies, penalties, fines, awards, judgments cost and expenses of whatever kind, including, but not limited to, professional fees and reasonable attorneys’ fee incurred by our Indemnitees, arising out of or connected to a third-party claim or action related to (a) your or your Authorized Users access to or use of the Service; (b) any breach of these Terms by you, your Authorized Users, or any person accessing the Service using your account or device; (c) your or your Authorized Users’ violation, misappropriation, or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights); (d) your or your Authorized Users’ violation of any applicable law or regulation; (f) your or your Authorized Users’ conduct in connection with the Service; (g) your Content. You will promptly notify us of any third-party claims subject to indemnification. You agree that we will have the right to control the defense, negotiation, and settlement of any claim subject to indemnification and that you will fully cooperate with us in the defense, negotiation, or settlement of any such claim, and that we will have the right to select counsel handling such defense, negotiation or settlement in our sole discretion. 

11.2 Our Indemnification. StreamYard will indemnify you against all damages awarded by a final and non-appealable decision of a court of competent jurisdiction arising out of a third-party claim alleging that the Services infringe any third-party intellectual property right.  If all or any part of the Services become or we reasonably believe that are likely to become, the subject of any such infringement claim, we may, at our discretion and expense, (a) procure the right for you to continue using all or part of the Service in accordance with these Terms, (b) replace or modify the allegedly infringing Service so that they are non-infringing, or (c) terminate our agreement and refund you a prorated portion of any Subscription Fees that you may have previously paid to us for the unused Service and Subscription Period. We will have no responsibility or obligation regarding any third-party intellectual property claim if it is caused in whole or in part by (i) use of the Service in a manner not authorized by these Terms or that violates the law, (ii) compliance with designs, data, instructions, or specifications provided by you, (iii) modification of the Service, unless performed or authorized by us, or (iv) the combination, operation or use of the Service with other hardware or software where a Service would not by itself be infringing. The remedies in this section are your sole and exclusive remedies for any third-party claim that the Service infringe intellectual property rights. The indemnification under this section does not apply if you are a non-paying customer or under a free Subscription Plan or for Trials and Betas.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

12.1 Governing Law. These Terms, and any dispute, claim (including non-contractual disputes or claims), or matters arising out of or in connection with these Terms will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of Italy, excluding any conflict of law provisions. If you are a consumer resident in the European Union, these Terms will not affect the mandatory laws and statutory consumer rights of your country of residence.

12.2 Jurisdiction. Any controversy or claim in relation to the application or interpretation of these Terms or arising out of your use of the Service will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Court of Milan, Italy. If you are a consumer resident or domiciled in the European Union, you may submit your claim to the court of your place of residence or domicile.

13. General 

13.1 Assignment. You will not assign, subcontract, delegate, or otherwise transfer these Terms, or your rights and obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, or by operation of law (including in connection with a merger, acquisition, change of control, or bankruptcy), without obtaining the prior written consent of one of our authorized representatives, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void. We may assign these Terms or delegate our obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without restriction and without your consent, to any person or entity at any time, on condition that the assignment does not diminish the protection of your rights. These Terms will be binding upon the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

13.2 Entire Agreement. These Terms constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to their subject matter and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and representations relating thereto, except to the extent otherwise set forth in a written agreement executed by duly authorized representatives of both parties that expressly references and modifies these Terms. Any terms contained in any purchase order or other order documentation provided by you shall be null, void, and of no effect.

13.3 Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions will remain valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law. Any such invalid, illegal, or unenforceable provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to make it valid and enforceable, consistent, to the extent possible, with the original intent of the parties.

13.4 No Waiver. Any failure or delay by us to exercise or enforce any of our rights under these Terms does not waive our right to enforce such rights. Any waiver of such rights will only be effective if it is in writing and signed by one of our authorized representatives. The rights and remedies under these Terms are cumulative and are in addition to and not in substitution of any other rights and remedies available at law, in equity or otherwise.

13.5 Equitable Relief. You understand and agree that your breach of these Terms may cause us irreparable harm for which recovery of monetary damages will be inadequate, and that we will therefore be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief, including, but not limited to, an injunction, to protect our rights under these Terms in addition to any and all remedies available under these Terms or at law, without the necessity of posting a bond or other security.

13.6 Force Majeure. We will not be responsible for a delay or failure to perform obligations under these Terms as a result of any reason or condition beyond our reasonable control (“Force Majeure Events”), including, but not limited to, natural disasters, war, pandemics, labor conditions, acts of terrorism, public utility or internet or telecommunication infrastructure failures, and denial of service attacks. In such cases, the failure or delay will be excused during such Force Majeure Events and the period of performance shall be extended to the extent necessary to allow performance of obligations after the Force Majeure Events have been removed.

13.7 Publicity. You hereby grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to use your business name and logos solely to identify you as our customer on our Website and in marketing and communications materials. We will use reasonable efforts to cease use and remove your name and logos from our Website and our marketing and communication materials following the termination of your Subscription Plan, except where such removal is not reasonably possible.

13.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly provided in sections 3.6, 3.7, 6, 11 and 14, there are no third-party beneficiaries to these Terms other than each of our affiliates.
