Service Supplemental Terms
These terms govern Partner’s benefit to “Viously Service” and are made supplemental to the Agreement. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the General Terms or, if applicable, in an Insertion Order.
1. Viously service description
With the Viously Service, the Company provides the Partner with a Player together with encoding, storage, and streaming functionalities in the context of the monetization of the Partner’s Videos under this Agreement.
The Partner acknowledges and accepts that the Partner’s Catalog stored by the Company are stored solely for the purposes of the Viously Service, and that these constitute only copies of content that the Partner otherwise possesses for its own storage and backup purposes.
2. Exclusivity
Unless otherwise specified under section 5 below, the Partner grants the Company Exclusive Monetization of its Videos during the Term and for the purposes of the Agreement.
3. Catalog
The Partner grants the Company a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free right and license to use, reproduce, display, and distribute the Catalog on the Partner’s Properties and Channel solely for the purposes of performing this Agreement.
4. Integration
4.1. Initial integration of the Service tools
To enable the launch of the Viously Service on the Partner’s Properties, the Partner agrees to complete the necessary prerequisites and participate in a User Acceptance Testing (“UAT”) procedure with the Company. Viously Service requires the integration of a specific SDK on all pages of the Partner’s Properties, following the technical process provided by the Company. The Partner also agrees to configure the Player on the Platform and implement the export code across all relevant page types. Once these steps are completed, the Company’s technical team will initiate the UAT procedure.
4.2 User Acceptance Testing (UAT)
The UAT process verifies the proper functioning and integration of the Player on the latest versions of major web browsers, including Chrome and Safari, on both desktop and mobile. The Company will analyze the Partner’s code to identify and address any conflicts that could affect the Player’s performance and visual display or the delivery of Ad Impression. This analysis takes into account dynamic behaviors such as resizing and scrolling that may interfere with the Player’s visibility. The UAT aims to ensure optimal adaptation of the Player to the Partner’s Properties, within reasonable time and technical limits. If technical constraints prevent proper adaptation, the Company will inform the Partner of the required adjustments, which the Partner must implement at its own cost.
Following the UAT, the Company will provide a summary of the results, along with any relevant technical notes. If no objection is raised within five (5) business days following service activation notice, the Partner shall be deemed to have accepted the UAT result and the service is considered operational.
4.3.Modifications after initial integration
The initial integration is covered by the Company as part of its commercial onboarding for new Partners, provided that the integration process is completed within thirty (30) days from its commencement. Once per calendar year, the Partner may request a complimentary update of the integration to reflect any changes made to the Partner’s Properties or services, subject to successful completion of a new User Acceptance Testing (UAT). Any additional modifications — whether requested by the Partner or necessitated by changes implemented on the Partner’s Properties — shall be subject to prior written quotation and the Partner’s approval. Upon acceptance, the corresponding costs will be invoiced to the Partner and may be deducted from the Partner’s Compensation.
5. Exception to exclusivity
Subject to the Company’s prior written approval and provided this exception is not used to replace Viously Service by a Competing Service, the Partner may activate options available in its Account, allowing it to manage its own Seats alongside the Company’s Service during a Play. These options require specific knowledge and resources, which the Partner confirms it possesses.
5.1. Available options
The Partner may choose among the following options in the Administration Panel :
- VAST Booster: 100% of Ad Placements are reserved for the Partner’s VAST;
- VAST Adserving: The Partner’s VAST is run together with the Company’s Seats;
- External RTB Integration : the Partner may connect its Seats through Prebid Adapters as long as they are available on the Company Platform;
- No Ads: Ad Placements are disabled.
To ensure proper functioning of the Service, some options may not be combined, and are subject to availability on the Admin Panel.
Subject to IO-specific terms, the unit costs (excl. tax) for the following options are as follows:
- VAST Booster: 0,002€ per Adstart;
- VAST Adserving: 0€ per Adstart;
- External RTB Integration : 15% of the selected Advertisement price per Adstart.
- No Ads: 0,001€ per Play. An additional 0.0005€ is charged if the video originates from Catalog Syndication.
At the end of each calendar month, a reconciliation will be performed between i) the Partner’s Compensation, and ii) the credit due to the Company under this clause. If the resulting balance is positive, it shall be deducted from the amounts payable to the Partner as part of the invoicing process described in Section 5.3 of the General Terms. If the balance is negative, the Company will issue an invoice to the Partner for the corresponding amount.
5.2. Disclaimer
The Partner acknowledges and agrees that the Company shall not be held liable for any issues of the Service arising from the use of such options.
In addition, the Company shall not provide technical support for the Service unless and until such options have been deactivated. Furthermore, the Company does not guarantee that future updates or versions of the Company Platform, Integration Modules, and/or Services will remain compatible with the Partner’s implementation of these options.
6. Catalog syndication
6.1. Purpose and scope
The Partner may elect to make its Catalog available, in whole or in part, to Distributors or to publish Syndicated Content provided by Creators on the Partner’s Properties. Both Creators and Distributors acknowledge and agree that the Company acts solely as a technical platform facilitating catalog syndication, which occurs directly between Creators and Distributors.
6.2. Licensing and rights
By not marking a video as “Private,” the Creator agrees to syndicate its videos and grants Distributors a limited, non-exclusive, worldwide, right to reproduce, display, and distribute its Syndicated Content on their Properties using the Player, strictly for editorial and monetization purposes. This license right is valid for the duration the video remains accessible on the Platform and is not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of this clause. The Creator retains full ownership of all intellectual property rights and remains solely responsible for the editorial compliance of the content. The Creator may withdraw its Syndicated Content from syndication at any time.
6.3. Responsibilities
The Creator guarantees that it holds all rights and licenses necessary to grant the right licensed under section 6.2 and agrees to indemnify the Company and any Distributor in case of claims arising from the use of its Syndicated Content. The Distributor remains solely responsible for the contextual environment, technical embedding, and compliance of the Syndicated Content on its own Properties. The Distributor agrees not to alter, obscure, or interfere with the original content, metadata, visual identity, or branding elements of the Creator, and acknowledges that the Company assumes no editorial liability for the use of Syndicated Content on Distributor Properties.
6.4. Revenue sharing
Compensation generated from Syndicated Content shall be shared as follows:
– 60% of the Compensation to the Distributor; and
– 40% of Compensation to the Creator.
6.5. Termination and suspension to Syndicated Content
The Company may suspend or terminate access to any Syndicated Content if these supplemental terms are breached, which includes violations of content policies, technical problems, or claims made by third parties. Temporary suspension of access may also occur while the Company resolves disputes or investigates complaints.
7. Trial Period
If the Insertion Order (IO) provides for a Trial Period during which the Partner may evaluate the Services under the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Partner may terminate the Agreement at any time during such Trial Period. Termination must be expressly notified by the Partner and formally acknowledged by the Company in writing. If no termination is communicated before the expiration of the Trial Period, the Agreement shall automatically continue in force for the full Term as specified in the IO.
During the Trial Period, the exclusivity obligation set forth in Section 2 above shall not apply to the Partner.
8. Competing services and unauthorized service interruption
The Partner acknowledges that the Exclusive Monetization is a fundamental and essential condition of the Agreement. The Partner further acknowledges that the Company invests significant resources, including proprietary technology, infrastructure, operational know-how, and human capital, to optimize the monetization of Videos. This investment is made in reliance on the exclusivity granted and the long-term collaboration between the Parties.
Accordingly, the Partner shall not interrupt the Services and/or integrate or use any Competing Service on its Properties during the Term of the Agreement.
In the event the Partner integrates or activates a Competing Service or takes any action or omission that causes the partial or total interruption, incapacity, or termination of the Company’s ability to effectively manage and deliver Advertisements on Video —and fails to restore normal operations within five (5) days of receipt of a formal notice sent by email—the following consequences shall apply:
- Company may suspend any outstanding payments;
- Company reserves the right to terminate the Agreement with immediate effect;
- Partner shall remain liable for an amount equal to one (1) Average Monthly Revenue for each remaining month between the date of the event triggering Company’s right to terminate and the expiration of the then-current Term.
