These Platform Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the Flikforge online software platform (the "Platform"), operated by Flikforge, Inc. ("Flikforge," "we," "us," or "our"). They apply to every person and entity that accesses the Platform ("you," "your," or "User"), whether as a Data Owner, as a Licensee, or as a visitor. By creating an account or otherwise accessing or using the Platform, you agree to be bound by these Terms.
These Terms are effective for each User who first accepts them on or after the Last Updated date shown above, from the moment of that acceptance. For a User who accepted an earlier version of these Terms, these Terms take effect in accordance with Section 11.
These Terms govern Platform access, account conduct, and the mechanics by which agreements are formed on the Platform. They do not set the commercial terms on which Content is licensed. Those terms are set by the Master Agreement for Data Owners, the Master Agreement for Licensees, and the Opted-In Agreements described in Section 5.
1.1 "AI Developer" means a Licensee that acquires a license to Content for the purpose of AI Training. An AI Developer is one type of Licensee.
1.2 "AI Training" means the use of Content to train, pre-train, fine-tune, distill, validate, benchmark, or otherwise develop artificial-intelligence or machine-learning models, systems, or agents, together with the evaluation activities reasonably necessary to assess the Content for those purposes.
1.3 "Content" means the video files and any associated audio, images, text, sensor data, and other media assets that a Data Owner uploads or registers on the Platform, including every segment, shot, clip, frame, and other portion of those materials.
1.4 "Data Owner" means any individual or entity that registers Content on the Platform and claims ownership of, or the right to license, that Content.
1.5 "Enterprise Agreement" means a separate written agreement between Flikforge and a Data Owner or a Licensee, signed by both parties, that records any term varying these Terms or that party's Master Agreement, and covers any additional Flikforge services together with their scope, service levels, and fees.
1.6 "Flikforge Metadata" means the indices, labels, annotations, embeddings, tokens, timecodes, segment and shot boundary data, catalog entries, and other technical work product that Flikforge generates from the Content, excluding the Content itself and the Owner Metadata.
1.7 "Licensee" means any individual or entity that acquires or seeks to acquire a license to Content through the Platform. An AI Developer is one type of Licensee.
1.8 "Master Agreement for Data Owners" means the agreement of that name between Flikforge and a Data Owner, whether accepted electronically through the Platform or executed as a signed instrument.
1.9 "Master Agreement for Licensees" means the agreement of that name between Flikforge and a Licensee, whether accepted electronically through the Platform or executed as a signed instrument.
1.10 "Master Agreements" means the Master Agreement for Data Owners and the Master Agreement for Licensees, collectively.
1.11 "Opted-In Agreement" means any license agreement made available through the Platform into which a Data Owner, or a holder of a Resale License, opts with respect to specified Content, and which governs a Licensee's license to that Content upon completion of a Purchase Event. The Template of an Opted-In Agreement may be provided by Flikforge, by the Data Owner, or by the Licensee. These Terms do not prescribe its form, name, source, or commercial terms.
1.12 "Owner Metadata" means the metadata and other descriptive information that a Data Owner supplies together with the Content. The Data Owner continues to own the Owner Metadata.
1.13 "Pricing" means the pricing that a Data Owner sets on the Platform for its Content, in accordance with the terms that Data Owner has agreed with Flikforge in its Master Agreement for Data Owners.
1.14 "Purchase Event" means the mechanism by which a Data Owner opts into an Opted-In Agreement with respect to specified Content and a Licensee then selects that Content and presses Purchase within the Platform. A Purchase Event is complete at the moment the Licensee presses Purchase.
1.15 "Resale License" means a license granted by a Data Owner that expressly permits its holder to re-license the Content to a downstream licensee for AI Training, as recorded in the applicable Opted-In Agreement.
1.16 "Template" means the form of an Opted-In Agreement as made available for review on the Flikforge Platform, without the specific Content, the Flikforge Metadata, or the configurable pricing and terms completed. The configurable terms of a Template are completed at the time of a Purchase Event, and the completed instrument is the Opted-In Agreement that governs the license.
2.1 To use the Platform you must create an account, provide accurate, complete, and current information, and keep that information current.
2.2 You must be at least eighteen years of age and capable of forming a binding contract. Where you create an account on behalf of an entity, you represent that you are authorized to bind that entity, and "you" refers to that entity.
2.3 You are responsible for the confidentiality and security of your credentials and for all activity conducted under your account. You shall notify Flikforge promptly of any unauthorized use of, or suspected compromise affecting, your account.
2.4 Before registering Content on the Platform, you must accept a Master Agreement for Data Owners. Before completing a Purchase Event, you must accept a Master Agreement for Licensees. Flikforge may restrict the corresponding Platform functions until the applicable Master Agreement is in effect.
3.1 You shall use the Platform only for lawful purposes and in accordance with these Terms.
3.2 You shall not:
3.3 Flikforge may monitor use of the Platform for security, integrity, and compliance purposes.
4.1 You shall not upload, register, or offer Content that:
4.2 Flikforge may remove or disable access to any Content that it reasonably believes violates Section 4.1, and may report unlawful Content to the appropriate authorities.
5.1 Opted-In Agreements are made available on the Platform in Template form so that a Data Owner and a Licensee may review their terms before transacting. The Platform enables a Data Owner to opt into one or more Opted-In Agreements with respect to specified Content, and enables a Licensee to search available Content by the form of Opted-In Agreement under which it is offered, to select that Content, and to complete a Purchase Event.
5.2 A Data Owner's opt-in with respect to specified Content constitutes a standing offer to license that Content on the terms of that Opted-In Agreement. A Licensee's completion of a Purchase Event with respect to that Content constitutes acceptance of that offer, and forms a binding agreement between the Data Owner and the Licensee on those terms, without regard to the absence of a handwritten signature. On acceptance, the Platform completes the Template with the Content selected, the Flikforge Metadata included in the transaction, and the configurable pricing and terms then in effect, and the completed instrument is the Opted-In Agreement. Flikforge presents the offer and records its acceptance, and does not conclude the Opted-In Agreement on behalf of either party.
5.3 Flikforge's record of the Data Owner's opt-in and of the Licensee's action in pressing Purchase constitutes the electronic signature of each party for the purposes of the Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act, the Uniform Electronic Transactions Act, and any equivalent law. Each User consents to transact electronically and waives any objection to the enforceability of an agreement formed on the Platform based solely on its electronic form.
5.4 Flikforge records the identity of the accepting party, the date and time of acceptance, and the version of the agreement accepted. That record is available to the parties to the agreement and constitutes prima facie evidence of the acceptance it describes.
5.5 A Data Owner may enable or disable any Opted-In Agreement at any time through the Platform. Any such change applies only going forward and does not affect a Purchase Event that has already completed.
5.6 A Data Owner or a Licensee may submit its own Template for use as an Opted-In Agreement. A submitted Template becomes available on the Platform only upon Flikforge's acceptance of it, which is at Flikforge's discretion and is conditioned on Flikforge being able to integrate its terms with the Platform's audit, security, access control, delivery, acceptance, and provenance recording functions, and on the submitted Template carrying restrictions at least as protective of the Data Owner as those required by the Master Agreements. Flikforge's acceptance of a Template for use on the Platform is not an endorsement of its terms and creates no obligation on any User to opt into it.
6.1 Flikforge owns the Platform and all software, interfaces, documentation, algorithms, classification systems, indices, and other technology comprising it. These Terms grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and use the Platform in accordance with them, and grant no other right.
6.2 Ownership of Content, of the metadata a Data Owner supplies with Content, and of the metadata and technical work product that Flikforge generates from Content is governed by the applicable Master Agreement and not by these Terms.
6.3 You may submit feedback about the Platform. Flikforge may use that feedback without restriction and without obligation to you.
7.1 These Terms govern Platform access, account conduct, acceptable use, prohibited content, and the mechanics by which agreements are formed on the Platform.
7.2 The Master Agreement for Data Owners governs the commercial relationship between Flikforge and a Data Owner, including the licenses the Data Owner grants to Flikforge, exclusivity, metadata ownership, Pricing, revenue share, representations and warranties, indemnification, confidentiality, and term.
7.3 The Master Agreement for Licensees governs the commercial relationship between Flikforge and a Licensee, including baseline use restrictions, security obligations, payment, representations and warranties, indemnification, confidentiality, and term.
7.4 An Opted-In Agreement governs the license granted to a Licensee for the Content it covers, including permitted and prohibited uses, the training term, and the payment schedule.
7.5 An Enterprise Agreement between Flikforge and a Data Owner or a Licensee governs any additional Flikforge service that party contracts for, and records any term that departs from these Terms or from that party's Master Agreement. These Terms and a Master Agreement are amended for a User only by a written Enterprise Agreement signed by both parties, and a deviation takes effect only where that Enterprise Agreement identifies expressly the provision it varies, prevailing over that provision for so long as it remains in effect.
7.6 Where these Terms conflict with a Master Agreement, an Opted-In Agreement, or an Enterprise Agreement, that agreement prevails as to the subjects described in Sections 7.2 through 7.5, and these Terms prevail as to the subjects described in Section 7.1. Each such agreement incorporates these Terms by reference.
8.1 You may close your account at any time. Closing an account does not terminate a Master Agreement or an Opted-In Agreement and does not shorten any term stated in one.
8.2 Flikforge may suspend or terminate your access to the Platform where you materially breach these Terms and fail to cure within thirty (30) days of written notice, or immediately where suspension is necessary to prevent harm, to protect the security or integrity of the Platform, or to comply with applicable law.
8.3 Termination of Platform access does not affect any license already granted through a completed Purchase Event, which continues in accordance with the applicable Opted-In Agreement.
8.4 Sections 3, 4, 5.3, 5.4, 6, 7, and 9 through 13 survive termination.
9.1 The Platform is provided "as is" and "as available." Except as expressly stated in an applicable Master Agreement, Flikforge disclaims all warranties, whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement, to the maximum extent permitted by law. Flikforge does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted or error-free.
9.2 Except where an Opted-In Agreement expressly names Flikforge as a licensor of Content or of Flikforge Metadata, Flikforge is not a party to an Opted-In Agreement between a Data Owner and a Licensee and does not guarantee the performance of either party under it. Where Flikforge collects fees as operator of the Platform, that collection is a payment-processing function and does not make Flikforge a party to the license of the Content.
10.1 To the maximum extent permitted by law, Flikforge is not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for lost profits or lost revenue, arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the Platform.
10.2 Flikforge's aggregate liability arising out of these Terms shall not exceed one thousand dollars ($1,000). Liability arising under a Master Agreement or an Opted-In Agreement is governed by that agreement and is not limited by this Section 10.
11.1 Flikforge may revise these Terms. Material revisions will be communicated by email or by in-Platform notice at least thirty (30) days before they take effect (the "Effective Date"). Continued use of the Platform after the Effective Date constitutes acceptance of the revised Terms.
11.2 If you do not accept a revision, you may close your account before the Effective Date without penalty.
11.3 No revision to these Terms amends a Master Agreement or an Opted-In Agreement.
11.4 A revised version of these Terms is effective immediately on acceptance for any User who first accepts it on or after the Last Updated date it carries. For a User who accepted an earlier version, the revision takes effect on the Effective Date determined under Section 11.1, and the earlier version continues to govern that User until then. Flikforge retains each published version of these Terms together with the record of acceptance described in Section 5.4, so that the version applicable to a given User at a given time can be determined.
12.1 These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
12.2 The parties consent to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Wilmington, Delaware. This Section does not prevent either party from seeking relief in any other court of competent jurisdiction.
13.1 Notices to Flikforge must be sent to info@flikforge.com. Notices to you may be sent to the email address on your account and are effective on transmission.
13.2 You may not assign these Terms without Flikforge's consent. Flikforge may assign these Terms to a successor in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of substantially all assets.
13.3 The parties are independent contractors, and nothing in these Terms creates a partnership, joint venture, agency, fiduciary, or employment relationship. Flikforge does not conclude any Opted-In Agreement on behalf of a Data Owner or a Licensee.
13.4 If any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, the remainder continues in effect.
13.5 No failure or delay in enforcing a provision operates as a waiver of it.
13.6 These Terms, together with any applicable Master Agreement and any applicable Opted-In Agreement, constitute the entire agreement between you and Flikforge regarding the Platform.
