In order to limit the risk of erroneous invoicing data as required by applicable tax regulations, and in conformity with the TVP terms of use, DAILYMOTION may use the payee identification data (ex. payee’s name, payee’s address, etc.) declared by PARTNER to the TVP chosen by PARTNER for the purpose of payment to PARTNER under these Terms, meaning that such payee identification data as declared by PARTNER to the TVP and as provided by TVP to DAILYMOTION shall appear on PARTNER’s invoice and shall be used by DAILYMOTION for payment purposes. PARTNER understands that DAILYMOTION does not conserve the bank account information provided by PARTNER through the TVP it chose. Provided that PARTNER does not offer proof to the contrary, the records of the applicable TVP, be they of PayPal company, Payoneer company, or another similar payment system company, shall be considered proof of payments made between PARTNER and DAILYMOTION. The archiving of these items is performed in a reliable and sustainable manner to reflect a true and lasting copy in accordance with Article 1379 of the French Civil Code. PARTNER shall bear the fees of its use of a TVP, if any.
9.3.3. PARTNER agrees that DAILYMOTION may from time to time, but only upon request by the TVP, if one has been selected by the PARTNER, provide the TVP that PARTNER selected with any and/or all information DAILYMOTION holds on PARTNER, including any personal data, in accordance with the terms of use of that TVP selected by PARTNER. It is also agreed that the TVP may directly contact PARTNER and/or suspend a payment in process for any of the reasons stipulated in the TVP’s terms and conditions, including notably for any good faith suspicion of illicit activity or any information missing to perform the payment properly. It is agreed that DAILYMOTION shall not be held responsible for any such activity by the TVP.
9.3.4 IN A GENERAL MANNER, PARTNER ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT DAILYMOTION SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION, ERROR OR OMISSION PERFORMED BY PARTNER WHEN USING THE TVP, NOR FOR ANY ACTION, ERROR OR OMISSION PERFORMED BY THE TVP.
9.3.5. For the avoidance of doubt, payments shall not be made to the benefit of any other person or entity other than PARTNER. Furthermore, PARTNER agrees that the payments shall only be made to a TVP account bearing the same name as that of PARTNER.
9.3.6. It is agreed that certain amounts may be deducted by DAILYMOTION from the PARTNER Program Revenues which correspond to (i) taxes, levies or other charges from the local authorities of any country as relevant, and/or (ii) actual out-of-pocket third-party charges necessary to enable the transfer (i.e. any TVP fees that result from the direct error, negligence, or omission of PARTNER in the communication of its relevant account information to DAILYMOTION). Moreover, PARTNER acknowledges and agrees that any fees related to PARTNER’s use of a TVP, and/or any fees charged by PARTNER’s own banking institution in order for PARTNER to receive the PARTNER Program Revenues, shall be borne by PARTNER. In addition, DAILYMOTION or the TVP may deduct from the payment of the PARTNER Program Revenues any fees incurred by the TVP to process such payment.
9.4. Withholding Tax
PARTNER acknowledges and agrees that a withholding tax may be applied on the amounts paid by DAILYMOTION to PARTNER in the scope of the Terms. In this regard, it is PARTNER’s responsibility to provide DAILYMOTION with a relevant certificate certified by PARTNER’s home-country authorities, as soon as possible after its registration to the PARTNER Program to benefit from any exemption or reduction.

In particular, PARTNER is prohibited from posting, uploading, submitting, Streaming or distributing Prohibited Content. Any Content that violates these Terms will be subject to removal upon DAILYMOTION becoming aware of such Content.
PARTNER is solely responsible for taking its own steps to back up its Content, and DAILYMOTION recommends that PARTNER routinely archives its Content. DAILYMOTION disclaims any responsibility for deleted, lost, corrupted or inaccessible Content.

PARTNER acknowledges that DAILYMOTION is authorized to provide the information and personal data about PARTNER to relevant authorities upon a valid request from such authorities.

To the extent that non-European data protection laws are applicable to the processing of personal information contained within the Content, the Parties agree that the above description of Parties’ roles and obligations shall also apply.
Additionally, each Party may independently process personal data of the other Party’s personnel as strictly necessary for the proper execution of these Terms.

DAILYMOTION shall not be held responsible in any case for (i) any malfunctions, inherent of the nature of the Internet and/or used communication technologies, in the access and/or the use of the DAILYMOTION Service, (ii) or any default of its obligations caused by Force Majeure or an unintentional cause.

PARTNER acknowledges and agrees that (i) DAILYMOTION is not a pay-per-view audiovisual media but a web hosting service provider, and (ii) DAILYMOTION is not required to perform any prior monitoring of the content hosted through the DAILYMOTION Service, or to search for facts or circumstances revealing illegal activities according to applicable Law, and (iii) DAILYMOTION’s obligations as a web hosting service provider may result in taking-down of content without DAILYMOTION’s having any liability in relation to such content and/or any obligation to participate in any legal proceedings PARTNER may initiate or be involved related to such content.
PARTNER acknowledges and agrees that the DAILYMOTION Service, in whole or in part (including, without limitation, the look and feel, the thematic channels, the functionality, and/or the Video Player), on and through which the Content will be distributed and the Third-Party Videos are provided “AS IS” without warranty, provided that DAILYMOTION may enhance, modify and update the DAILYMOTION Service at its sole discretion.

Without prejudice to any of its obligations in these Terms, DAILYMOTION, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, vendors and suppliers (the “DM Parties”) disclaim all warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to, the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law. The DM Parties make no warranty or representation that the DAILYMOTION Service, in whole or in part, will be uninterrupted, error-free or secure, provided that the DAILYMOTION Site will generally be available 24 (twenty-four) hours a day 7 (seven) days a week, except during any scheduled or unscheduled interruptions, for maintenance needs or cases of Force Majeure. PARTNER acknowledges and agrees that DAILYMOTION is not liable for any interruptions, and PARTNER waives any claim and/or lawsuit against DAILYMOTION for this reason.
Nothing in the Terms shall exclude or limit DAILYMOTION's liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable Law.

This shall include; (i) any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly); (ii) any loss of goodwill or business reputation; (iii) any loss of opportunity; or (iv) any loss of data suffered; (b) any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of: (i) any reliance placed by PARTNER on the completeness, accuracy or existence of any Advertising, or as a result of any relationship or transaction between PARTNER and any advertiser or sponsor whose advertising appears on the DAILYMOTION Service; (ii) any changes which DAILYMOTION may make to the DAILYMOTION Service, or for any permanent or temporary cessation in the provision of the DAILYMOTION Service (or any features within the DAILYMOTION Service); (iii) the deletion of, corruption of, or failure to store, any Content and other communications data maintained or transmitted by or through PARTNER’s use of the DAILYMOTION Service; (iv) PARTNER’s failure to provide DAILYMOTION with accurate account information; or (v) PARTNER’s failure to keep its password or PARTNER Accounts details secure and confidential.
The limitations on DAILYMOTION's liability to PARTNER in this Section shall apply whether or not DAILYMOTION has been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of any such losses arising.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in these Terms, PARTNER hereby recognizes and confirms that in the event of any failure or omission by DAILYMOTION constituting a breach of any of DAILYMOTION’s obligations or warranties under these Terms, the damages, if any, caused to PARTNER are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle PARTNER to injunctive or other equitable relief. Consequently, PARTNER’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the right, if any, to obtain monetary damages at law, and PARTNER shall not have any right to seek or obtain any injunction or other equitable relief.
Section 12: CONFIDENTIALITY
The Parties shall each keep all the information exchanged for the performance and acceptance of the Terms (including any terms contained in the Terms) and their subject matter confidential and agree not to disclose such information, including, without limitation, documents and information related to products, clients, strategy, development, financial, business practices, to any third parties except as necessary to any business and legal representatives or as necessary to perform the obligations under the Terms or as required by any Law, stock exchange rule, regulation, court order or governmental agency, in which event the relevant Party shall so notify the other as promptly as reasonably practicable (and if possible prior to making any disclosure) and shall use its reasonable endeavors to seek confidential treatment of such information.
Section 13: DURATION AND TERMINATION
13.1. The Terms shall enter into effect on the date of their acceptance by PARTNER and shall continue until terminated as defined herein. The time from the date of the acceptance of the Terms by PARTNER until the termination date of these Terms shall be referred to as the “Term.”
13.2. It is agreed between the Parties that either Party may terminate PARTNER’s subscription to the PARTNER Program at any time by sending an email to:
- the email address given by PARTNER in its PARTNER Master Account information, if termination is by DAILYMOTION.
- the email address official-termination@dailymotion.com, if termination is by PARTNER, or any other email address which DAILYMOTION may designate from time to time.
The effective date of termination of PARTNER’s membership in the PARTNER Program will be the last calendar day of the month in which the termination notice was given, meaning that after this date PARTNER will no longer benefit from any of the tools or features of the PARTNER Program, or accrue any PARTNER Program Revenues. PARTNER will continue, for administration purposes only, to have access to its PARTNER HQ for a period of 60 (sixty) days following the effective termination date.
13.3. Either Party may terminate these Terms, without liability to the other Party, by notice to the other Party with immediate effect if:
- the other Party is in material breach of any of its obligations under these Terms and, if the breach is capable of cure, fails to remedy the breach within fifteen (15) days of receiving notice to do so (unless a shorter cure period is specifically provided elsewhere in these Terms); or
- any material step is taken with a view to the other Party ceasing to carry on business, or going or being put into receivership, administrative receivership, administration, bankruptcy, liquidation or any equivalent process by any relevant jurisdiction to the extent authorized under the Laws
13.4. Within 60 (sixty) days of the effective termination date, if (i) PARTNER has filled in all mandatory information necessary for payment through the PARTNER HQ of the PARTNER Master Account, and (ii) PARTNER has accepted the corresponding self-billing authorization, and (iii) all outstanding PARTNER Program Revenues accrued in the PARTNER Account until the effective termination date equal at least $100 (one hundred US dollars), then DAILYMOTION shall generate an invoice on the PARTNER’s behalf and in the name of the PARTNER, and pay to PARTNER such outstanding PARTNER Program Revenues accrued in the PARTNER Account.
13.5. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DAILYMOTION may terminate, immediately and at any time, with or without notice, PARTNER’s access to some of the different features provided in the scope of the PARTNER Program (for all or part of the PARTNER Accounts), and PARTNER’s membership in the PARTNER Program, for any reason (e.g. violation of these Terms or of the DAILYMOTION Policies, prolonged inactivity of the PARTNER Account(s), etc.). For the sake of clarity, if PARTNER does not agree to part or all of the terms and conditions applicable to a specific feature or to the PARTNER Program as articulated herein, PARTNER’s only recourse is to stop using the DAILYMOTION Service.
13.6. Immediately upon the effective termination date of these Terms, or upon the termination of a particular PARTNER Sub-Account, the PARTNER Accounts or specific PARTNER Sub-Account (as the case may be) shall cease to be registered to the PARTNER Program and shall not benefit from any provisions of the Terms including but not limited to the revenue payment terms, promotion of the Content, etc. For sake of clarity, PARTNER’s Content shall remain on the DAILYMOTION Service until such time as PARTNER removes such Content from the DAILYMOTION Service, and therefore PARTNER shall continue to respect the DAILYMOTION Policies, until PARTNER removes the Content hosted on the Service and closes its user account.
13.7. Any termination of PARTNER’s subscription to the PARTNER Program shall be without prejudice to any other rights or remedies a Party may be entitled to under those Terms or at Law and shall not affect any accrued rights or liabilities of either Party nor the coming into or continuance in force of any provision of those Terms which is expressly intended to come into or continue in force on or after such termination.
Section 14: ETHICS AND COMPLIANCE
14.1. Throughout the entire duration of the Terms, and as an essential condition for their execution, both Parties undertake to comply with (i) the UN Global Compact Principles (ii) all national and international standards relating to social and human rights issues, ethics and compliance, and environmental issues applicable to their activities, and (iii) all laws and regulations applicable to its activities, including laws relating to anti-corruption and the fight against money laundering and the financing of terrorism, child and forced labor, export controls and sanctions.

14.5. In the event (i) it becomes unlawful for a Party to fulfill any part of its commitments under these Terms, or emit and/or receive payments due hereunder as a result of the imposition of sanctions against a Party, its directors, officers or any direct or indirect interest holders, or a Party’s country of registration or (ii) there is a breach of the above-mentioned obligations, the other Party may immediately suspend the performance of its obligations under these Terms, including but not limited to payment obligations, and upon written notice to the other Party, terminate these Terms with an immediate effect. Neither Party shall be liable to the other or any other third party with whom that other Party may have a contractual obligation related to the Terms, as a result of its suspension or termination due to the occurrence of one of the event listed above in (i) or (ii).
Section 15: MISCELLANEOUS
15.1. The Terms and the rights hereunder are not transferable or assignable without prior written consent of the non-assigning Party; provided, however, that the Terms may be assigned by either Party without prior written consent of the other Party (a) to a person or entity who acquires substantially all of either Party’s assets, stock or business by sale, merger or otherwise and (b) to an Affiliate of either Party.
15.2. By accepting these Terms, PARTNER expressly acknowledges and agrees to be bound by all DAILYMOTION Policies. The DAILYMOTION Policies may be updated from time to time, and the newest version of which shall always be accessible from the home page of the DAILYMOTION Site; if PARTNER disagrees with such modifications, PARTNER’s recourse shall be to stop using the DAILYMOTION Service. In the event of any conflict between the DAILYMOTION Policies and these Terms, these Terms shall control.
15.3. Prior to the initiation of any action or proceedings under the Terms to resolve disputes between the Parties, the Parties shall make commercially reasonable efforts to resolve any such disputes by means of internal escalation and negotiation between senior representatives of the Parties with decision-making authority. Either Party may initiate negotiation proceedings by writing a notification letter to the other Party setting forth the particulars of the dispute, the Terms involved, and the suggested resolution of the dispute. The Parties shall work together in good faith to resolve such dispute for a period of at least 60 (sixty) days prior to the initiation of any action of proceeding under the Terms, which may be further extended should the Parties agree in writing (email sufficient).
15.4. The Parties agree that DAILYMOTION shall be deemed to be a passive website that is based solely in Paris, France and over which personal jurisdiction cannot be obtained, either specific or general, in any jurisdiction other than Paris, France. The Parties agree that the Terms, the interpretation and validity of the Terms, and any disputes arising from the Terms, shall be governed by the substantive Laws of France, applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein and without reference to its conflicts of laws rules that would result in the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. The Parties also agree that any claim or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms shall be decided exclusively by a civil court of competent jurisdiction located in Paris, France and both Parties irrevocably consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of any such court.
15.5. In the event that a Force Majeure event prevents or impedes a Party from performing one or more of its contractual obligations under the Terms, the defaulting Party shall not be liable to the other Party to the extent attributable to such Force Majeure Event so long as such Force Majeure event is in effect. The defaulting Party shall immediately notify the other Party of such impediment and take commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate the effects of such Force Majeure event.
15.6. Both Parties have entered into the Terms as independent contractors, both legally and financially. The Terms shall accordingly in no way constitute joint entity, agency relationship, joint venture or corporate partnership or any relationship of an employer and employee as between the Parties nor shall either Party hold themselves out as being part of such an entity or relationship. Except as provided under these Terms, neither Party shall have the right or authority, express or implied, to assume or create any obligation on behalf of the other Party and neither Party shall misrepresent its authority to any third-party. Except as provided under these Terms, neither Party shall have the authority to enter into any contract or commitment in the name of, or on behalf of the other Party, or to bind the other Party in any respect whatsoever.
15.7. Unless otherwise specified herein, all notices, requests, demands and other communications under the Terms shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given (i) if delivered by hand and receipted for by the party to whom said notice or other communication shall have been directed, or (ii) mailed by certified or registered mail with postage prepaid, on the third (3rd) business day after the date on which it is so mailed. A copy of all notices sent by PARTNER shall be emailed to legal@dailymotion.com.
15.8 If one or more provision of the Terms is considered to be invalid as such or as a result of the application of a Law, regulation, or the decision of a competent body having jurisdiction, it will be treated as not forming part of the Terms and all other conditions will remain in force. However, if the invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of the Terms should affect the legal and/or economical balance of the Terms, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the substitution of such provision with a valid provision as legally and economically similar as possible.
15.9. The Terms shall constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the applicable Parties with respect to all matters which are referred to in the Terms and the subject matter of the Terms and shall supersede any previous agreements, letters of intent, prior drafts, undertakings, representations, warranties and arrangements of any nature whatsoever (whether or not in writing) between those Parties in connection with the subject matter of the Terms.
15.10. In the event of translations of the Terms, it is agreed by the Parties that the English version of the Terms will prevail in any event, even if such translation is provided by DAILYMOTION.
Section 16: AMENDMENT OF THE TERMS
DAILYMOTION may revise the Terms from time to time and the most current version will always be posted on a dedicated area of the DAILYMOTION Properties. PARTNER should review the Terms on a regular basis. Amendments to the Terms will not apply retroactively and will become effective 7 (seven) days after posting. However, DAILYMOTION may also in its sole discretion notify PARTNER of material changes to the Terms by emailing the PARTNER with the new Terms to the email address associated with the PARTNER Master Account. Such specific amendments to new functionality or legal amendments will be effective immediately upon notice. By not terminating its subscription to the PARTNER Program after amendments become effective, PARTNER implicitly agrees to be bound by the amended terms. If PARTNER does not agree to the new terms, the PARTNER’s only recourse is to terminate its subscription to the PARTNER Program. THE PARTNER’S FAILURE TO TERMINATE its subscription to the PARTNER Program FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE AMENDMENTS TO THE TERMS CONSTITUTES BINDING ACCEPTANCE OF ALL AMENDMENTS.
