These Terms of Service govern your use of Febspot websites, applications, video services, embeddable players and related platform functionality.

Service: Febspot Document: Terms of Service Language: English

This Febspot Terms of Service Agreement (the “Agreement” or “Terms of Service”) is made between Febspot, Inc. (“Febspot,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) and you, our customer (“you” or “your”). This Agreement governs your use of Febspot owned-and-operated websites, applications, and embeddable video players (collectively, the “Services”). This includes our Febspot, Febspot sp z o.o, and Livestream services. Your use of our video hosting services is governed exclusively by the Febspot platform Terms of Service Agreement.

Notice: Section 10 of this Agreement contains provisions regarding arbitration for certain privacy claims that you or Febspot could assert. By using our Services and accepting this Agreement, you agree to the dispute-resolution provisions described below.

1. Acceptance

By creating an account, viewing videos, payment for advertising, downloading our software, or otherwise visiting or using our Services, you accept this Agreement and consent to contract with us electronically.

If you are an entity other than a natural person, the person who registers the account or otherwise uses our Services must have the authority to bind the entity. In this context, “you” means both the entity and each person who is authorized to access the account.

We may update this Agreement by posting a revised version on our website. By continuing to use our Services, you accept any revised Agreement.

This Agreement includes our Privacy Policy and other policies or addenda expressly incorporated by reference. Please review our Privacy Policy to learn about the information we collect from you, how we use it, and with whom we share it.

2. Our Services

Service License: Subject to the terms hereof, we grant you access to our Services. This includes the right to:

  • Stream videos that you have the right to view;

Downloadable Software: We may offer applications for devices (“Apps”) directly or through third-party stores. Subject to your compliance with these Terms of Service, Febspot grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to download and use the Apps.

We may update Apps from time to time to add new features and/or correct bugs. You are responsible for using a version compatible with your device. We cannot guarantee that every version will remain compatible with every device.

Developer Tools: We may offer application programming interfaces (“APIs”) that allow developers to build applications connected to our Services. APIs and related documentation may be subject to additional terms.

Enterprise Services: We may provide Services pursuant to individually negotiated agreements. Where such an agreement applies, its conflicting provisions will govern the applicable enterprise service.

Parents and Guardians: By granting a minor permission to use the Services through your account, you acknowledge responsibility for monitoring and supervising that use to the extent required by applicable law.

Team Members: Certain account types may allow you to grant other users access to the account. You are responsible for permissions you grant and for monitoring authorized access to your account.

Provisions which by their nature should survive termination, including provisions concerning intellectual property, indemnification, disclaimers, limitation of liability and dispute resolution, will continue to apply after termination.

8. Disclaimers

FEBSPOT PROVIDES THE SERVICES ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

You are responsible for obtaining the devices, software and internet connectivity required to access the Services.

EXCEPT WHERE EXPRESSLY REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FEBSPOT DISCLAIMS WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Among other things, Febspot does not guarantee:

  • That the Services will always be uninterrupted, error-free or available from every location, browser or device;
  • That any particular content will remain hosted or available;
  • The accuracy or legality of content submitted by users;

  • The availability, accuracy or security of third-party websites or resources.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FEBSPOT SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF BUSINESS, PROFITS, GOODWILL OR DATA, WHERE SUCH LIABILITY MAY LAWFULLY BE EXCLUDED.

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FEBSPOT'S AGGREGATE LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO FEBSPOT DURING THE TWELVE MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM OR USD $100, EXCEPT WHERE A DIFFERENT LIMIT IS REQUIRED BY LAW OR EXPRESSLY AGREED IN WRITING.

10. Disputes, Arbitration, and Choice of Law

If you are dissatisfied with the Services, please contact Febspot first so that we have an opportunity to review and attempt to resolve the issue.

10.1 Choice of Law

Except where mandatory consumer-protection or other applicable law provides otherwise, disputes relating to this Agreement or your use of the Services will be governed by applicable laws of Poland and applicable European Union law, without regard to conflict-of-law principles.

10.2 Choice of Venue

Except where applicable law requires another jurisdiction or where a dispute is subject to a valid arbitration agreement, disputes concerning these Terms may be brought before the competent courts in Warsaw, Poland.

10.3 Arbitration of Certain Claims

Where the parties enter into a valid and enforceable arbitration agreement concerning a particular claim, that claim may be resolved through binding arbitration rather than ordinary court proceedings, subject to mandatory rights and protections available under applicable law.

Arbitration is a private dispute-resolution process in which an independent arbitrator rather than a court may determine the dispute. Any applicable arbitration procedure will be subject to the arbitration agreement, governing rules and mandatory law.

Nothing in these Terms is intended to deprive consumers of rights that cannot lawfully be waived under applicable consumer-protection law.

11. General Provisions

Reservation of Rights and Severability: Febspot reserves all rights not expressly granted under these Terms. If any provision is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions will remain effective to the extent permitted by law.

Force Majeure: Febspot will not be responsible for delay or failure to perform caused by events outside its reasonable control, including natural disasters, disease outbreaks, war, civil unrest, terrorism, sanctions, embargoes, infrastructure failures, utility interruptions, telecommunications failures, governmental orders or comparable events.

Relationship: You and Febspot are independent parties. Nothing in these Terms creates an employment, partnership, joint venture, franchise or agency relationship unless expressly agreed otherwise in writing.

Assignment: You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms where such transfer would violate applicable law, platform restrictions or the rights of Febspot or third parties.

Entire Agreement: These Terms, together with policies and additional terms expressly incorporated by reference, constitute the agreement governing your use of the applicable Services unless you and Febspot have entered into another written agreement that expressly supersedes them.

Language: The English version of these Terms governs unless applicable law requires otherwise. Translations may be provided for convenience.

By continuing to access or use Febspot after revised Terms become effective, you agree to the revised Terms to the extent permitted by applicable law.
