🎥 6. Licenses Granted by You

As between you and MFM, you own and will retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in and to the content you submit. In order to allow MFM to host and stream your content, you grant MFM the permissions set forth below.

📹 6.1 Your Video Content

Subject to the terms hereof, by submitting a video, you grant MFM permission to:

• Stream the video to end users;

• Embed the video on third-party websites;

• Distribute the video via our APIs;

• Make the video available for download;

• Transcode the video (create compressed versions of your video file that are optimized for streaming);

• Generate stills (i.e., “thumbnails”) from your video to represent it (if you have not selected one);

• Automatically generate and display summaries, chapters, closed captions, and subtitles from your video; and

If you have enabled a video privacy setting or disabled downloading or embedding, we will limit distribution of your video pursuant to your selection. By enabling access to your video to any third party, you grant each such person permission to stream (and/or download or embed, as applicable) your video.

For the purposes of this Section 6.1, your video includes its title, description, tags, and other metadata. The license period begins when you submit the video to MFM and ends when you or MFM delete it; provided that MFM may retain archival copies:
(a) for a limited period of time in case you wish to restore it;
(b) when the video is the subject of a takedown notice or other legal claim; or
(c) when MFM in good faith believes that it is legally obligated to do so.

🎬 6.2 Vimeo Create Content

You may submit certain content to us for the purpose of creating a video using MFM.. These submissions, and the resulting videos, are governed by our MFM Terms and Privacy Policies.

👤 6.3 Account Profile

You grant MFM permission to use your name, likeness, biography, trademarks, logos, or other identifiers used by you in your account profile for the purpose of displaying such properties to the public or the audiences you have specified. You may revoke the foregoing permission by deleting your account. MFM shall have the right to identify public profiles in its marketing and investor materials.

💬 6.4 Feedback

You may provide comments, suggestions, or other feedback concerning our Services. You grant MFM a perpetual and irrevocable right and license to use, copy, transmit, distribute, publicly perform, and display such feedback in any manner without any compensation to you.

🌍 6.5 Scope of Licenses

All licenses granted by you in this Section 6:

(c) include all necessary rights and licenses to allow us to exercise our rights and perform our obligations.

By granting these licenses, you waive any so-called “moral rights” that you may have.

All licenses granted herein are in addition to any other licenses that you may grant (e.g., a Creative Commons license).
