You will publish videos to LSMS by use of a URL embed, originating from your independent video hosting account.

All content stored on LSMS servers is required to adhere to and be publishable under the AWS TOS, in addition to LSMS TOS. Any contention or concern will refer to the actual TOS that it violates.

1.12.3. Cloud hosting creates a copy of data and stores it at various locations around the world. The data is then served to end-users by the closest and fastest available means. Cloud hosting utilizes a caching system. Updates to your content on the LSMS system are generally virtually instantaneous,  but some delays in updates may occur. These delays will be resolved as soon as the server cache clears. LSMS is not responsible for delays in updates resulting from AWS’s cloud hosting platform.

1.13. Privacy

Ability to utilize location services will always be determined by the end-user, according to the permissions they allow from their device. When applicable, location services determine locale in the following order 1) end-user’s location 2) your location 3) LSMS location. Data and query responses will be determined in the most meaningful way for your end-user.

Note: In the event that LSMS releases an “ALPHA,” a pre-beta feature, the same terms and conditions applying to BETAs or PREVIEWs shall apply.

3.4. You may elect to keep your previous data published at a yearly cost of $250. These costs may depend on the amount of data you store on LSMS servers. In the event that you elect to keep your previous data published, LSMS will continue to serve this data to your website, but you will no longer be able to create new content inside the LSMS system. In plain language, you can keep you previously posted job pages, while declining active publishing, at a reduced monthly cost.

 

3.5. LSMS may modify data service prices over the course of time. Data service prices will be delivered at competitive monthly rates lower than the existing active publication prices. 

4. LSMS Guarantee & Refund Policy

17.2. Cloud hosting creates a copy of data and stores it at various locations around the world. The data is then served to end-users by the closest and fastest available means. Cloud hosting utilizes a caching system. Updates to your content on the LSMS system are generally virtually instantaneous,  but some delays in updates may occur. These delays will be resolved as soon as the server cache clears. LSMS is not responsible for delays in updates resulting from AWS’s cloud hosting platform.

18. LSMS Content and Your Content

The distribution of files created by LSMS system may require that you obtain license rights from third parties, including owners or licensors of certain third party audio and video formats. You are solely responsible for obtaining such licenses and paying any necessary royalties or fees.

19. Outside Service Providers

19.1. Outside Service Providers (“Providers”) offer their services (“Provider Services”) as independent contractors, and are not employees of you or us. LSMS is not a party to the agreement between you and any Providers for their Provider Services, is not responsible or liable for Provider Services, and does not guarantee the quality or accuracy of Provider Services. For avoidance of doubt, any certification that a Provider obtains from us only certifies that the Provider has passed a test intended to evaluate the Provider’s proficiency and understanding of a particular LSMS Service or area of knowledge to which that certification relates, and is not a guarantee that the Provider Services will be performed at any particular level of quality, speed, or to your specific requirements.

19.2. You acknowledge and agree that we may use information from LSMS listings, proposals, chat communications, and additional terms proposed or agreed to between you and Providers on LSMS to develop and improve the quality and feature set of LSMS. 

19.3. If you choose to grant Providers access to your LSMS account, you are solely responsible and liable for (a) any actions taken by the Provider in your account; (b) the Provider’s use of Your Content or use of the Services or LSMS Content; (c) ensuring the Provider complies with your obligations under the Agreement, the Acceptable Use Policy, any other Policies, and applicable laws; (d) ensuring the Provider does not use the Services or LSMS Content in any manner or for any purpose other than as expressly permitted by the Agreement; and (e) ensuring Provider does not attempt to (i) modify, distribute, alter, tamper with, repair, or otherwise create derivative works of any LSMS Content or other Content included in the Services (except to the extent Content included in the Services is provided to you under a separate license that expressly permits the creation of derivative works), (ii) reverse engineer, disassemble, or decompile the Services or LSMS Content or apply any other process or procedure to derive the source code of any software included in the Services or LSMS Content (except to the extent applicable law doesn’t allow this restriction), (iii) access or use the Services in a way intended to avoid incurring fees or exceeding usage limits or quotas, or (iv) resell or sublicense the Services or LSMS Content. You will immediately revoke Provider’s access to your LSMS account if you become aware of any violation of your obligations under the Agreement caused by a Provider with access to your LSMS account. If you use LSMS’s feature that allows you to grant a Provider access to your account, LSMS may, but is not obligated to, review activities in your account for security purposes, and may revoke the Provider’s access at any time.

19.4. You release us (and our agents and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual or consequential) of any and every kind and nature, known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way connected with your use of the LSMS system.

20. Amending the TOS for LSMS

20.1. We may update this document from time to time. No update shall have a retroactive effect.

20.2. When we update significant terms, we shall notify you via email. If you continue to use our website and Services following such update, you agree to be bound by the new terms. 

20.3. If you believe that any amendment to the TOS impairs your right to use purchased products or services in a manner that affects your business or rights materially, inform LSMS support staff, and we will either issue you a partial refund for the time period which you will not be able to utilize the service or we will discuss a specific term to be applied to you.
