Licenses Granted by You

As between you and VideoTube, you own and will retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in and to the content you submit. In order to allow VideoTube to host and stream your content, you grant VideoTube the permissions set forth below.

Your Video Content

By submitting a video, you grant VideoTube permission to:

Stream the video to end users;
Embed the video on third-party websites;
Distribute the video via our APIs;
Make the video available for download;
Transcode the video (create compressed versions of your video file that are optimized for streaming); and
Generate stills (i.e., “thumbnails”) from your video to represent it (if you have not selected one).

If you have enabled a video privacy setting or disabled downloading or embedding, we will limit distribution of your video pursuant to your selection. By enabling access to your video to any third party, you grant each such person permission to stream (and/or download or embed, as applicable) your video. For the purposes of this Section your video includes its title, description, tags, and other metadata.

The license period begins when you submit the video to VideoTube and ends when you or VideoTube delete it; provided that VideoTube may retain archival copies: (a) for a limited period of time in case you wish to restore it; (b) when the video is the subject of a takedown notice or other legal claim; or (c) when VideoTube in good faith believes that it is legally obligated to do so.

By granting these licenses, you waive any so-called “moral rights” that you may have. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed a license “condition” applicable to VideoTube; rather, any breach of a term by VideoTube hereof shall give rise to, at most, a claim for breach of contract only. All licenses granted herein are in addition to any other licenses that you may grant (e.g., a Creative Commons license).
