Reservation

Using the Service does not give you ownership of or rights to any aspect of the Service, including user names or any other Content posted by others or Cineplex.

Develop, Improve and Update the Service

Cineplex is constantly changing and improving the Service. As part of this continual evolution, we may make modifications or changes (to all or part of the Service) such as adding or removing features and functionalities, offering new digital content or services or discontinuing old ones.

We may also need to alter or discontinue the Service, or any part of it, in order to make performance or security improvements, make changes to comply with law, or prevent illegal activities on or abuse of our systems. These changes may affect all users, some users or even an individual user.

When the Service requires or includes downloadable software (such as the Cineplex application), that software may update automatically on your device once a new version or feature is available, subject to your device settings.

If we make material changes that negatively impact your use of the Service, we'll provide you with reasonable advance notice, except in urgent situations such as preventing abuse, responding to legal requirements, or addressing security and operability issues.

Your Content and Conduct

Uploading Content

If you have a Cineplex channel, you may be able to upload Content to the Service. You may use your Content to promote your business or artistic enterprise. If you choose to upload Content, you must not submit to the Service any Content that does not comply with this Agreement (including the Cineplex Community Guidelines) or the law. For example, the Content you submit must not include third-party intellectual property (such as copyrighted material) unless you have permission from that party or are otherwise legally entitled to do so. You are legally responsible for the Content you submit to the Service. We may use automated systems that analyze your Content to help detect infringement and abuse, such as spam, malware, and illegal content.

Rights you Grant

You retain ownership rights in your Content. However, we do require you to grant certain rights to Cineplex and other users of the Service, as described below.

License to Cineplex

By providing Content to the Service, you grant to Cineplex a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable and transferable license to use that Content (including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display and perform it) in connection with the Service and Cineplex's (and its successors' and Affiliates') business, including for the purpose of promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service.

License to Other Users

You also grant each other user of the Service a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free license to access your Content through the Service, and to use that Content, including to reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works, display, and perform it, only as enabled by a feature of the Service (such as video playback or embeds). For clarity, this license does not grant any rights or permissions for a user to make use of your Content independent of the Service.

Duration of License

The licenses granted by you continue for a commercially reasonable period of time after you remove or delete your Content from the Service. You understand and agree, however, that Cineplex may retain, but not display, distribute, or perform, server copies of your videos that have been removed or deleted.

Assignment or Waiver of Moral Rights

Content submitted to Cineplex, includes all rights of paternity, integrity, disclosure and withdrawal and any other rights that may be known as or referred to as “Moral Rights” (collectively, “Moral Rights”). To the extent such Moral Rights cannot be assigned under applicable law and to the extent the following is allowed by the law in the various countries where Moral Rights exist, you hereby waive such Moral Rights and consents to any action of the Company that would violate such Moral Rights in the absence of such consent.

Right to Monetize

You grant to Cineplex the right to monetize your Content on the Service (and such monetization may include displaying ads on or within Content or charging users a fee for access, it may also include monetizing metadata i.e. use in AI modeling). This Agreement does not entitle you to any payments.

Removing Your Content

You may remove your Content from the Service at any time. You must remove your Content if you no longer have the rights required by these terms.

Removal of Content By Cineplex

If any of your Content (1) is in breach of this Agreement or (2) may cause harm to Cineplex, our users, or third parties, we reserve the right to remove or take down some or all of such Content in our discretion. We will notify you with the reason for our action unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would breach the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority or would otherwise risk legal liability for Cineplex or our Affiliates; (b) would compromise an investigation or the integrity or operation of the Service; or (c) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Cineplex or our Affiliates. You can learn more about reporting and enforcement, including how to appeal on the Troubleshooting page of our Help Center.

Community Guidelines Strikes

Cineplex operates a system of "strikes" in respect of Content that violates the Cineplex Community Guidelines. Each strike comes with varying restrictions and may result in the permanent removal of your channel from Cineplex. If you believe that a strike has been issued in error, you may appeal here.

If your channel has been restricted due to a strike, you must not use another channel to circumvent these restrictions. Violation of this prohibition is a material breach of this Agreement and Cineplex reserves the right to terminate your Cineplex account or your access to all or part of the Service.

Copyright Protection

We provide information to help copyright holders manage their intellectual property online in our Cineplex Copyright Center. If you believe your copyright has been infringed on the Service, please send us a notice.

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement according to the process in our Cineplex Copyright Center, where you can also find information about how to resolve a copyright strike. Cineplex's policies provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of repeat infringers' access to the Service.

Account Suspension & Termination

Terminations by You

You may stop using the Service at any time. Delete your Cineplex Account, which involves closing your Cineplex channel and removing your data.

Terminations and Suspensions by Cineplex

Cineplex reserves the right to suspend or terminate your Cineplex account or your access to all or part of the Service if (a) you materially or repeatedly breach this Agreement; (b) we are required to do so to comply with a legal requirement or a court order; or (c) we reasonably believe that there has been conduct that creates (or could create) liability or harm to any user, other third party, Cineplex or our Affiliates.

Notice for Termination or Suspension

We will notify you with the reason for termination or suspension by Cineplex unless we reasonably believe that to do so: (a) would violate the law or the direction of a legal enforcement authority; (b) would compromise an investigation; (c) would compromise the integrity, operation or security of the Service; or (d) would cause harm to any user, other third party, Cineplex or our Affiliates.

Effect of Account Suspension or Termination

If your Cineplex account is terminated or your access to the Service is restricted, you may continue using certain aspects of the Service (such as viewing only) without an account, and this Agreement will continue to apply to such use. If you believe that the termination or suspension has been made in error, you can appeal using this form.
