By using the Service or visiting this website (referred to herein interchangeably as the “ClouPlay Website”, or “Website”), and by accessing content available through the Website or Service (including, without limitation, all content available through a partner website via an Application Programming Interface (“API”)), you signify your assent to these Terms.

ClouPlay Website
1. These Terms apply to all users of the ClouPlay Website, including users who contribute video content, information, and/or other materials, skills or services via the Website, as well as users who access the Service through partner sites, via an API. The ClouPlay Website may contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by ClouPlay. ClouPlay has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any such third party websites. In addition, ClouPlay will not, and cannot, censor or edit the content of any third party site. By using the Website, you expressly release ClouPlay from any and all liability arising from your use of any third party website. Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the ClouPlay Website and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each website that you visit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, ClouPlay grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials.

General

Each party hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State of New York to adjudicate any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy published at https://www.ClouPlay.com/privacy-policy and any other legal notices published by ClouPlay on the Website, shall constitute the entire agreement between you and ClouPlay concerning the Website and/or Service. If a court of competent jurisdiction deems any provision of these Terms invalid, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of the Agreement, which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any term of these Terms shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and ClouPlay’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
2. ClouPlay integrates with third-party services (e.g., Zoom, Webex, YouTube) to automate ingestion of media assets from
  the third-party service to the ClouPlay Platform. By using these third-party integrations, you agree and acknowledge that media assets ingested from third-party services and associated with your ClouPlay account are processed according to the same guidelines that apply to the your other media assets and data stored on the ClouPlay Platform. Retention of media assets ingested from third-party services is controlled by you, and you may choose to retain such media assets even after ending your relationship with the third-party service. Processing and retention of data from third-party services may also be subject to the privacy policies and terms of use of those third-party services. In particular, ClouPlay’s YouTube integration uses the YouTube API Services. By using ClouPlay’s YouTube integration, you agree to be bound by the YouTube Terms of Service (https://www.youtube.com/t/terms) and acknowledge that such use is subject to Google’s Privacy Policy (http://www.google.com/policies/privacy). In addition to ClouPlay’s normal procedures for managing and deleting the media assets, you can manage and revoke the ClouPlay YouTube integration’s access to data via the Google security settings page at https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions.
