Terms of service
1. Getting Started
These Terms of Service govern your use of the Mediplay Service identified in the attached Service Order (the “Service”). On the date you accept these Terms of Service by signing the attached Service Order (the “Acceptance Date”) your term will begin. Once you receive your media player you will need to install it with your compatible HD screen. 30 days after purchase (Service Start Date), we will begin to bill you your monthly service fees. From the Service Start Date through the “Initial Term” identified in the Service Order, we will bill you monthly. At the end of the Initial Term, your service will be automatically renewed for successive 12-month renewal terms unless otherwise canceled by you in writing at least 60 days before the end of either your Initial Term or any renewal term, as applicable.
2. Your fees and payments
Your initial payment includes the cost of your media player, plus shipping and handling. We will send you an electronic invoice noting your payment. In subsequent months during the term we will send you an electronic invoice and automatically charge your Service Payment Credit Card. You will also receive an electronic credit card receipt when each payment is charged. If you are unable or unwilling to pay by credit card we can accept your payment by Bank EFT draft. Payment is due on the date specified in the Service Order and is past due after 30 days.
In the event your account is past due, we may do the following: (1) if your account becomes 30 days past due we’ll send you an email and written notification that the Service will be interrupted, additionally you must pay a $15 late fee, (2) if your account becomes 45 days past due or more you must pay a late fee equal to 1.8% per month (or the highest rate valid under applicable law, whichever is less) on the outstanding balance owed and must pay a $150 reconnection fee to restore service. Your service will only be restored when your account is made current, including payment of all late and reconnection fees.
3. The Service
The Service is a complex set of systems and programs that consists of one or more media players, our proprietary content, content you upload, our content delivery platform, and our online content management portal (collectively, the “Service Platform”). As long as your account is current, you are granted access to the Service Platform to manage the features of the Service. In addition to these features, we will provide access to self-help support via the management portal, and reasonable email and phone consultation regarding general use of the Service Platform during the hours of 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. U.S. Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, except holidays. During the first year of your contract, we will also provide replacement of your media player in the unlikely event of failure. As long as you return the non-working player within 15 days of failure using the included return-shipping label, replacement will be at no cost to you. If the player is not returned within 15 days, or has been damaged beyond what one would consider reasonable wear and tear, or has failed as a result of a power surge or other electrical damage, you must pay a $400 replacement fee.
We will use all commercially reasonable efforts to make the Service Platform available for use to provide the Service in a manner consistent with relevant industry standards. We do not warrant that the Service or the Service Platform, which is a complex system, will be without interruptions or error free. However, we will work diligently with you to determine the root cause of any Service interruptions in order to restore the Service as quickly as possible. If we determine the root cause for a Service interruption resulted from an error or defect in the Service Platform, then you may request a prorated service credit. If the Service is interrupted for any other reason, you still have an obligation to pay your monthly service fees.
4. What you provide
The Service Platform requires you to connect the media player to a compatible large-format HD screen you provide, which, at your option and expense, can be mounted by an installer. You must also supply the media player with power (preferably with a surge protector) and dedicated (not dial-up) Internet access. Internet access can be either wired or wireless LAN access with either a dedicated or DHCP programmed IP Address. Delay in installation beyond 30 days of the Acceptance Date or interruptions in service that result from items you provide, does not relieve you of your obligation to pay your monthly service fees.
5. What you own
You own any and all artwork, logos, graphics, video, text, data and other materials you supply, e-mail, or upload to the Service Platform in connection with your Service (collectively, your “Property”). You acknowledge that you are providing us a working copy of your Property and that you are solely responsible for maintaining the original(s). By supplying, emailing, or uploading your Property you are granting us a worldwide, non-exclusive, fully paid-up license to use, copy, modify, enhance, create derivative works of, and otherwise use your Property in any manner we reasonably determine necessary to provide you the Service. You warrant that, for all materials supplied by you for which you do not directly own the copyright, trademark or any other intellectual property rights, that you have secured and maintain all appropriate authorizations for use. For the materials you supply, at our request, you will cooperate to provide any and all written releases, authorizations, waivers and any other documents required by law or deemed reasonably appropriate from any person(s) whose image(s) is used or any entity(s) whose copyright(s) or trademark(s) is used. You represent and warrant to us that neither the possession nor use by us of any materials or property supplied by you will violate or infringe the rights of any third party. You own the media player once it’s paid in full.
6. What we own
Any technology, artwork, logos, graphics, video, text, data and other materials supplied and/or utilized by us in the delivery or use of the Service and the Service Platform (except for your Property) is the sole and exclusive property of Mediplay, our vendors, or our licensees (collectively, our “Property”). All rights in and related to our Property, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents (and the right to obtain and to own all worldwide intellectual property rights in and to the subject matter embodied by or contained in our Property), and all other intellectual property rights or proprietary rights, are owned and are exclusively reserved by Mediplay, our vendors, or our licensees. As long as your account is current, for the location(s) you pay Service fees, during your term of Service you are granted a limited, non-exclusive, nontransferable license to use our Property to the extent necessary to receive the service. You agree not to copy, sublicense, modify, reverse engineer, distribute or create derivative works of our Property.
7. How we provide reasonable pricing
We take a lot of pride in developing compelling and relevant content that can be delivered to the right audience at the right time. In order to provide you with a continually growing base of content for you to access, all while keeping the cost to you as low as possible, we endeavor to offset our costs with relevant and appropriate advertiser sponsors. As a part of these Terms of Service, you agree that we reserve the right to sell advertising placements within the Service Platform to advertisers and/or sponsors. You acknowledge that we, at our sole discretion, will determine the positioning and scheduling of any advertising placements presented on the Service Platform. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, and at any time to modify the proposed positioning and scheduling for display of any advertising placements. We will not place any advertising placements that, in our reasonable judgment (1) would violate applicable law or the rights of a third party; (2) contain obscene, offensive or inaccurate material; (3) promote fraudulent offers of goods and services; (4) would reasonably be expected to create legal liability or adverse publicity to you or us; or (5) is otherwise inconsistent with our advertising policies. If you find that a particular advertisement is objectionable because it promotes a product or service that is directly competitive to one that you currently and actively market and/or sell, you may request in writing that the advertisement be removed from the Service by providing us documentation of such marketing and/or sales in the immediately preceding calendar quarter. Advertising will never be more than 20% of the content in the main zone.
8. If you want to terminate the Service early
You may terminate the Service early for your convenience before the expiration of the Initial Term or any renewal term by giving us at least 60 days written notice, conditioned upon your payment of an “Early Termination Fee”. The Early Termination Fee is $1,000 per installed media player connected to the Service Platform, or 25% of the remaining monthly service fees for the then-current Initial Term or renewal term (as applicable), which ever is less.
9. If we fail our obligations to each other:
If either party is in breach of these Terms of Service, the other party will provide written notice of the breach to the breaching party. If the breaching party does not cure the breach within 30 days of receipt of such notice, then the non-breaching party may terminate the contract. Upon termination, all fees owed to Mediplay that remain unpaid will become immediately payable and the Service will be disconnected.
10. All the other fine print – In addition to Sections 5 and 6, the remaining sections will survive termination of the Service
The laws of the State of North Carolina govern this agreement.

We mutually agree not to disclose to any third party or use any Confidential Information received from the other party for any purpose other than to carry out the obligations of these Terms of Service. “Confidential Information” is any information in whatever form or medium, whether tangible or intangible, and whether disclosed verbally or in writing (and includes any copies of such information) that is both: (1) proprietary or confidential to the disclosing party, including, without limitation, information about products and products plans, technical know-how, technical and business processes, marketing strategies, finance, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles, customer lists, sales estimates, financial performance, computer software and computer systems; and (2) either specifically identified as confidential prior to or at the time of its disclosure or, by its nature, should reasonably be considered proprietary or confidential under the circumstances.
Neither party will be liable to the other by reason of any failure of performance hereunder (except failure to pay) if such failure arises out of causes beyond such party’s reasonable control, despite the reasonable efforts and without the fault or negligence of such party.
