Appointment of Agent. As the principal (the "Principal" or "you"), you may submit video Content for publication and management by WorldMe.tv as your agent ("Agent"). By submitting Content to WorldMe.tv and upon acceptance by WorldMe.tv such Content on the WorldMe.tv Service under either Agency Options "A" or "B", you are appointing WorldMe.tv as your exclusive, worldwide, perpetual Agent for such Content, and granting WorldMe.tv the exclusive rights - distribution, display, replication, licensing, renting, selling, monetizing, and other exploitation - to the Content in any medium, on any kind of display device, globally, for the Agency Term as defined below (the "Agency Rights"). The Agency Rights also include WorldMe.tv's right to sue in its own name as plaintiff for infringement or other inappropriate or illegal usage of the Content and to seek in such lawsuit all damages or other relief available under law and equity to which you and/or WorldMe.tv are entitled.
On appointing WorldMe.tv as your Agent and granting the Agency Rights to WorldMe.tv, you agree to not distribute, display, replicate, license, rent, sell, monetize, and otherwise exploit the Content in any medium, on any display device, globally, for the Agency Term. The Agency Term is a period of 50 years starting from when you enter this Agreement.

There are four (4) types of Agency Options available under this Agreement: Options A, B, C and D. You are required to select one during the Content submission process; this selected Option cannot be changed later without express written permission from WorldMe.tv. If you opt for Options A or B, you are mandated to not remove the video from the WorldMe.tv Player for the duration of the Agency Agreement.

4. Personal Use Option (Option "D"): WorldMe.tv will exclusively publish your Content on WorldMe.tv's Video Player or WorldMe.tv-owned websites. WorldMe.tv shall not monetize your Content.

TERMS APPLICABLE TO WORLDME.TV'S CUSTOM VIDEO PLAYER SERVICE
If you have chosen to subscribe to WorldMe.tv's Custom Video Player Service (the "Custom Player Service" or "C Subscription"), or participate in a trial CPS Subscription, the following distinct terms and conditions will apply in addition to all other relevant terms and conditions as laid out in the Terms of Use on the WorldMe.tv Site.
Selection of a CPS Subscription

When selecting a CPS Subscription as offered by WorldMe.tv from time to time, the terms, features, and pricing of your selected CPS Subscription will be described during the CPS Subscription selection procedure via the WorldMe.tv Site (the "CPS Features and Pricing"). All CPS Subscriptions are monthly and renew automatically for further months until cancelled.
WorldMe.tv reserves the right to modify any terms, features, or pricing of CPS Subscriptions at any moment, all such changes will take effect after thirty (30) days' notice or as otherwise communicated to you by WorldMe.tv.
Payment
By choosing a CPS Subscription, you commit to pay the linked fees (the "CPS Subscription Fee") for the CPS Subscription and authorize WorldMe.tv to charge or debit your agreed-upon payment method monthly for the CPS Subscription Fee and any other charges. All CPS Subscription Fees are paid in advance and billed monthly, except where provisions for the Upgraded Plan are set out below.
Bandwidth Usage
Each CPS Subscription offers a specified maximum amount of bandwidth (the "Maximum Allotted Bandwidth") that you can use during each monthly CPS Subscription period ("Monthly Subscription Period"), starting on the date of your CPS Subscription ("Subscription Start Date") and ending on the monthly anniversary date of your Subscription Start Date ("Subscription Anniversary Date"). Any part of the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth that goes unused during a specific Monthly Subscription Period won't "roll over" and can't be applied to any upcoming Monthly Subscription period.
You bear the responsibility of monitoring and managing bandwidth usage, accessible through the WorldMe.tv dashboard, during the Monthly Subscription Period. While WorldMe.tv may, it is not obligated to notify you if you have expended or are likely to use your Maximum Allotted Bandwidth.
Bandwidth Overage Procedure
Unless otherwise specified in the CPS Features and Pricing applicable to your CPS Subscription, once you utilize the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth, and without any duly received Notice of Overage Disablement (as defined below), your CPS Subscription will automatically and instantly (the "New Subscription Start Date") upgrade to the next superior CPS Subscription plan available and described in Subscription Features and Pricing on the WorldMe.tv Site ("Upgraded Plan"). Your Subscription Anniversary Date will reset immediately and automatically, with all features and pricing of the Upgraded Plan becoming effective and relevant to your CPS Subscription as of the New Subscription Start Date. This Bandwidth Overage Procedure will continue to apply to each Upgraded Plan, so that your CPS Subscription is automatically and instantly upgraded to the next superior plan each time you reach the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth, including but not limited to an already Upgraded Plan. You're agreeing to the automatic implementation of your Upgraded Plan upon reaching the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth for your initial or subsequent Upgraded Plan per the Bandwidth Overage Procedure by choosing WorldMe.tv as your Agent and granting WorldMe.tv the Agency Rights, and authorizing WorldMe.tv to charge or debit your agreed payment method for the applicable CPS Subscription Fee in respect of the Upgraded Plan commencing upon the new Subscription Start Date in respect of each applicable Upgraded Plan.
If you don't wish to use or be upgraded to an Upgraded Plan according to the Bandwidth Overage Procedure, you're required to notify WorldMe.tv in writing via WorldMe.tv Billing department (billing@worldme.tv) prior to any Bandwidth Overage, of your intention to disable any Bandwidth Overage connected with your CPS Subscription, effective once you reach the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth ("Overage Disablement") for your current CPS Subscription ("Notice of Overage Disablement"). Your Notice of Overage Disablement will only apply to your current Monthly Subscription Period, and you'll need to notify WorldMe.tv again for any requested Overage Disablement for any subsequent Monthly Subscription Period. In the absence of a duly received receipt of Notice of Overage Disablement compliant with these terms, you will be automatically upgraded to the Upgraded Plan once you use the Maximum Allotted Bandwidth per these terms.

Refunds and Cancellation
You authorize WorldMe.tv to charge or debit your agreed payment method monthly for the applicable CPS Subscription Fee starting from the expiry of the initial 30-day Free Trial period unless at least five days before such expiry you notify WorldMe.tv of your intent to cancel at billing@worldme.tv.

Payment Methods

WorldMe.tv may offer particular payment methods for CPS Subscription Fees from time to time. If a credit card or debit card is allowed as a payment method and the relevant CPS Subscription Fees can't be charged or debited to such payment method, you acknowledge and agree that if the credit card or debit card is not working, due to expiry or otherwise, then upon expiry of any paid part of your CPS Subscription period, all CPS Subscription services may be deactivated without notice to you. You are solely accountable for ensuring that all allowed payment methods are current and capable of covering all applicable CPS Subscription Fees, including but not limited to all CPS Subscription Fees payable for Upgraded Plans.

Content and Advertisements for CPS Subscription Service

You acknowledge and agree that when you monetize your Content on the WorldMe.tv Site or engage in activity as a WorldMe.tv Publisher, as defined in the Terms of Use, all terms applicable to the WorldMe.tv Player set out in the Terms of Use shall apply.

If your CPS Subscription includes Content and/or advertising provided by you, you acknowledge and agree that you are solely accountable and/or liable for all such Content and/or advertising and that you indemnify and hold WorldMe.tv harmless in compliance with all indemnification terms stated in the Terms of Use.

PUBLISHING AND DISTRIBUTION OF CONTENT VIA THE WORLDME.TV SERVICE

WorldMe.tv may, but is not obliged to, publish and display your Content through numerous media channels and in various formats via the WorldMe.tv Service, solely at its commercial discretion based on the Agency Option you select. WorldMe.tv reserves the right to decline or reject any Content submitted to the WorldMe.tv Service

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
You assert, declare, and warrant that you possess the legal authority to submit the Content to the WorldMe.tv Service, that you possess all necessary rights and authority to appoint WorldMe.tv as your Agent in accordance with the selected Agency Option as described herein, and that you are legally entitled to enter into the Agency Agreement.

Moreover, you represent and warrant that any Content submitted does not encompass third-party copyrighted material, or material subject to other third-party proprietary, intellectual property, or contractual rights or interests unless you have explicit written permission from the rights holder of the Content to enter this Agreement. Should you assert that you have obtained such rights from a third party, you agree to provide written evidence of the same immediately upon request by WorldMe.tv. You are required to procure such written permission before submitting such Content to the WorldMe.tv Service. This written permission must not be restricted in any manner, should be exclusive, and should remain in effect for the duration of this Agreement.

Any transgression or other violation of a third party's rights concerning the Content submitted by you to the WorldMe.tv Service and which has been identified by WorldMe.tv or a third party as such, may result in the immediate removal of such Content without notice to you. WorldMe.tv strictly adheres to all applicable intellectual property laws and regulations. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold harmless WorldMe.tv, its agents, employees, contractors, directors, officers, and shareholders against any allegations, demands, claims, investigations, or disputes resulting from your submission of Content to WorldMe.tv and/or monetization of your Content, insofar as it relates to any transgression or violation of the intellectual property rights, proprietary rights, contractual rights, or any other rights of a third party.

You understand and agree that, apart from the Assignment Option discussed below, this Agency Agreement does not confer ownership of any copyright for or in the Content to WorldMe.tv, and all payments made to you per this Agreement are earnings from the monetization of your Content, reduced by expenses and WorldMe.tv's Agency Fees (as defined below) and are not royalties or license fees. If you receive payments from WorldMe.tv as the person authorized by the creator or rightsholder to retain WorldMe.tv as Agent, you indemnify and hold harmless WorldMe.tv against any claim by the creator or rightsholder concerning your receipt of such payments and in respect of WorldMe.tv's Agency.

Monetization and Rights Applicable Under Option "A" and "B"
If you have chosen either Option "A" or Option "B", for monetizing your Content, WorldMe.tv may, in its sole commercial discretion and on your behalf, grant, sell, and execute License(s) (as defined herein) to the Content with you being the Licensor, subject to WorldMe.tv being your attorney in fact for effecting such License(s) with the Licensee, as defined below. You authorize such Licensee to use the licensed Content in any media for any purpose globally. For this paragraph, a "License" implies any contractual agreement organized between WorldMe.tv as your unique Agent and a third party (a "Licensee") regarding the latter's exploitation of your Content. If WorldMe.tv chooses to enter into a License for your Content only, or includes Content from other creators with your Content in a single License, you grant WorldMe.tv the authority, liberty, and right: i) to do so, ii) to do so without seeking your further consent or providing notice to you, iii) to do so in its own name. In that event, WorldMe.tv, acting as your Agent, will be listed as the unique nominative "licensor" in that License. You (and any other creator whose Content is included in the License) will be an Undisclosed Principal in that License. Any compensation paid by the licensee will not be deemed licensee fees or royalties to WorldMe.tv. You also authorize WorldMe.tv to disclose or not disclose your name as a real-party-in-interest Licensor. You grant WorldMe.tv the authority to prosecute any claims against the other party to the License or to defend claims asserted by the other party to the License ("Litigation") without seeking further consent from you or providing notice to you. WorldMe.tv controls the Litigation, is responsible for all costs and attorneys' fees, and can seek, recover, and retain any damages or other compensation from the other party to the License in the Litigation, without providing any notice or accounting to you. WorldMe.tv will defend and indemnify you concerning any claims made against you unless you are alleged to have committed the act or acts that are alleged to constitute the breach. If this occurs, WorldMe.tv reserves the right to demand that you defend and indemnify it as to such claims, which you agree to do.

By submitting Content to WorldMe.tv under Option "A" or Option "B", you are irrevocably agreeing to appoint WorldMe.tv as your sole, worldwide, exclusive, and perpetual Agent with respect to the Content and all rights related to it. You specifically authorize WorldMe.tv as your Agent to combine the Content with other materials and alter, modify, and crop the Content at WorldMe.tv's sole discretion. You waive any reservation of moral rights in and to the Content.

As your Agent for the Content under Option "A" or Option "B", WorldMe.tv may register copyrights worldwide on your behalf, with you (or the party authorized you to enter this Agreement) listed as the copyright claimant. WorldMe.tv is not liable for any delay or defect in attempts to register the copyright in any Content. As your Agent for the Content, WorldMe.tv may enforce your (or that third party's) copyright or other intellectual property rights in the Content, including but not limited to making a claim or commencing legal proceedings. You agree to fully cooperate. You acknowledge and agree that WorldMe.tv shall at no time and in no manner be obliged to make any efforts as your Agent pursuant to this provision. You appoint WorldMe.tv as your (or that third-party's) attorney in fact for executing any document or taking any step in furtherance of the rights granted herein.

Where WorldMe.tv as Agent takes steps to enforce the copyright in your Content, WorldMe.tv has sole control and decision-making power over any demand, claim, proceeding, or settlement. If required by the law that you be a named plaintiff, you agree to be so named. In that situation, WorldMe.tv continues to control the action as described above, continues to pay all fees and costs incurred in that action, and you agree to cooperate with WorldMe.tv. It is understood and agreed that any C-Suite officer (CEO, COO, CTO, CFO) of WorldMe.tv may execute documents pursuant and exercise any power of attorney you have

Recovery Through Copyright Enforcement
You, or if you are entering this Agreement under authority of a third-party rights holder, shall not issue any demand, or initiate any claim or proceedings to enforce any rights in any Content submitted to WorldMe.tv under Agency Option "A" or "B", except with WorldMe.tv's express authorization, which may be denied if WorldMe.tv elects to take control of such enforcement measures. In such case, WorldMe.tv shall indemnify you (or the applicable third-party rights holder) from and against any damages, legal fees, and costs directly attributable to such enforcement measures. If WorldMe.tv authorizes you to take enforcement actions, then you will be solely responsible for all charges in that action.

Recovery by WorldMe.tv as Agent

In the event of any claim or demand made by WorldMe.tv, or if legal proceedings are initiated by WorldMe.tv on your behalf as your Agent (as opposed to WorldMe.tv being the copyright owner under the Assignment Option set out below) and such claim or proceeding results in a payment from a third party to WorldMe.tv, WorldMe.tv shall be entitled to deduct from such proceeds: a) all associated legal fees and expenses incurred or payable by WorldMe.tv, and b) if the amount exceeds the subsection a) amount by at least USD $1,000.00, a management and enforcement fee equal to the remainder of the proceeds less USD $1,000.00, implying that the maximum you can receive in such event is USD $1,000.00.

WorldMe.tv's Option to Acquire Content Copyright via Assignment under Option "A" or "B"
If you have chosen either Option "A" or "B", and WorldMe.tv finds that it requires your copyright to be assigned to it, then WorldMe.tv shall have the option, at any time, for the Copyright Assignment Fee, to carry out the assignment of Copyrights to WorldMe.tv, and this Agreement will serve as your written instrument for doing so. If you are entering under the authority of a third-party rights holder, you assert and warrant that you have the authority to agree to the same on behalf of such third-party rights holder.
If you have chosen Option "A" or "B", you appoint WorldMe.tv as your Attorney in Fact for any such Assignment, and grant WorldMe.tv the actual authority, right, and permission, as your Attorney in Fact, to execute a separate Assignment document.

"For Value Received, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, [your name], an individual residing in the state of [your state of residence] ("Assignor") hereby assigns all copyright in description of the Content being assigned to WorldMe.tv ("Assignee"). Assignor represents and warrants that a copyright exists in the Content, that Assignor owns all rights to that copyright, that the copyright has not been previously assigned or licensed, that Assignor has the rights to assign the copyright in the Content to Assignee, that no dispute or potential dispute exists regarding the copyright or Assignor's ownership, and that Assignee may register the copyright in Assignee's name. This Assignment includes the sole right to seek, recover, and retain any damages for past, present, and future copyright infringement, without notice or accounting to Assignor.

You appoint WorldMe.tv as your attorney in fact for executing any instrument or assignment reasonably required to effect this provision and to assign and transfer Copyrights.

The Copyright Assignment Fee payable by WorldMe.tv to you shall be:

However, WorldMe.tv reserves the right to apply the Agency Fee and/or abstain from deducting Other Fees and Costs in a way that it determines as suitable in its sole discretion, but not in a way that reduces the amount of Creator Earnings payable to you as currently set forth herein.

In certain situations, third parties may make payments to WorldMe.tv that don't associate Earnings with the Use of specific Content. In this case, WorldMe.tv will make reasonable efforts to identify the Creator Earnings owed to you for the Use of your Content. If, after 24 months from the date a third party made a payment, WorldMe.tv has not identified Earnings linked to the Use of specific Content, WorldMe.tv reserves the right to retain all such payments.
For clarification, no Creator Earnings are payable in relation to WorldMe.tv Premium Subscriptions, as defined elsewhere in this document.
EARNING PAYMENT REDUCTIONS / SET-OFFS
Payments may be lowered to offset bad debts, refunds and other charge-backs associated with the Use of your Content within sixty (60) days of the payment to which the bad debt, chargeback or refund is related.
