CampusReel Terms of Use

Last Updated: January 31, 2023

Welcome to the CampusReel platform (the “Platform”). The Platform is operated by Vision Inc. [(“CampusReel”)] [1] and is accessible through CampusReel’s websites, smartphone applications, tablet applications, and other network-connected products and services. The following terms and conditions (“Terms”) govern your use of the Platform.

By accessing, viewing, or using the content, material, products, or services available on or through the Platform (collectively, the " Services"),

If you have any questions concerning these Terms or wish to exercise your rights as described below, please email CampusReel at: rcarroll@campusreel.org.

1. License to use the Platform

Subject to these Terms, CampusReel hereby grants you a single, limited, terminable, revocable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, nontransferable, nonsublicenseable license to access and use the Platform solely for informational purposes. You shall be responsible, at your sole expense, for procuring, operating, and maintaining the computer system, mobile device, hardware, software, telecommunications applications and providers, and other items necessary or appropriate to enable you to exercise your rights and licenses hereunder. Without limiting any other provisions of these Terms, all software, applications, and other materials, including the Platform, made available to you are the copyrighted work of CampusReel or its licensors. Copying or distributing the Platform or the Platform Content (as defined below) is expressly prohibited.

2. Registration

In order to access certain Services via the Platform, you may be asked to register and create an account. As part of the registration process, you may be asked to click to agree to these Terms, and may then be asked to select or submit a user name and password. You may also be required to provide CampusReel with certain information about yourself, including some types of personally identifiable information, such as your legal name, educational institution, phone number, physical address, email address, gender, and age. You represent that the personal information you provide to CampusReel via the Platform is true, valid, complete, and up-to-date in all respects. Should any of the information you provide on the Platform change, please login to your account and update such information directly on the Platform. Any personal information that you provide to CampusReel via the Platform is subject to CampusReel’s Privacy Policy.

You are responsible for ensuring that your password and account login are kept secret, safe, and secure at all times. CampusReel will not be held responsible or liable for any misuse of your account in the event that a third party has access to and uses your password and account login in any way.

3. Purchases

Some products or services made available through the Platform, including any premium or featured services, may be available for purchase. By purchasing products or services made available through the Platform, you represent that you have reached the age of majority and have the legal capacity to enter into a contract and that you agree to these Terms and any additional terms presented to you at the time of purchase (including any terms related to premium sections of the Platform). If you are under the age of majority or cannot lawfully enter into a contract, you must have your parent or guardian review these Terms and the Privacy Policy, and register or place an order on your behalf.

If and when you elect to purchase certain Services through the Platform, you may be required to provide other personal information, such as a billing address and other payment details. You represent that you are the person referred to in the shipping and billing information provided. Should any of the information you provide on the Platform change, please login to your account and update such information directly on the Platform. Additional information may be collected by CampusReel or its third party service providers at this time for security and anti-fraud purposes.

Charges for any premium services will be calculated based upon the premium package selected, and are applicable to the current version of the package selected. Upgrades to those packages (including any upgrades based on changes in hardware used to access the applicable features of the Platform) may be subject to additional charges. Monthly subscription packages shall continue to renew monthly until proper termination notification is received from you. Fees may be prorated for portions of months and use of any service beyond the allotted time or without proper authorization may result in additional charges to your billing or credit card account. Fees and payment terms are subject to change upon notice by CampusReel to you.

CampusReel may use a third party payment processor to process credit card transactions made through the Platform. If you purchase products or services from CampusReel or make any payments via the Platform with your credit card, the credit card information that you submit will be protected by encryption, such as with the Secure Socket Layer (“SSL”) protocol. Encryption decreases the likelihood that your credit card information will be stolen or intercepted during transmission.

You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account, whether made by you or another person using your account. If for any reason CampusReel does not receive payment for a purchase, CampusReel may exercise its rights in law and equity, including: (a) immediately suspending or terminating your account; (b) seeking collection of the outstanding amount owed; and/or (c) seeking legal action against you for the breach of these Terms. CampusReel may also charge you a late payment charge of one and one half percent per month. You are also responsible for paying any governmental taxes imposed in connection with use of the Platform or the purchase or any products or services made available through the Platform, including sales, use, and excise taxes (excluding only taxes on CampusReel’s net income). To the extent that CampusReel is obligated to collect such taxes, the applicable tax will be added to your billing account.

All purchases through the Platform are nonrefundable, regardless of use or lack of use by you. Any refunds will be made in CampusReel’s sole discretion. Once a charge has been processed to your credit card or wireless account, you shall not request that your credit card or mobile carrier company reverse the charge or charge it back to CampusReel. If you have a legitimate basis to request a credit for a charge previously processed against your credit card account, you may request a credit from CampusReel by written notice and resolve the issue directly with CampusReel. Any reversed charges that cause the credit card company to impose a charge back, refund, or credit cost against CampusReel shall be reimposed by CampusReel upon you. Such costs may exceed the cost of the reversed item or charge back by many times.

4. General Restrictions on Use

You agree to use the Platform and the Services only for purposes that are permitted by these Terms and for no other purposes. All such use must be in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations, and generally accepted practices and guidelines in the relevant jurisdictions. Without limiting the foregoing, you will not (and will not attempt to):

a) Access the Platform or any of the Services by any means other than through the interface that is provided by CampusReel;

d) Access or collect any personally identifiable information, including any names, email addresses, academic histories, or other such information for any purpose, including commercial purposes;

g) Stalk, harass, or otherwise disturb another person;

h) Impersonate another person or wrongfully identify as a student or representative of a particular university or other educational institution; or

CampusReel further disclaims any warranties or other guarantees regarding the Platform, Platform Content, goods, services, advice, information, or links provided by any third parties or users, including the User Content. No advice or information, whether oral or written, obtained by you from CampusReel (whether through the Platform or otherwise) shall create any warranty not expressly stated in these Terms.

The technical processing and transmission of any Platform Content and User Content may involve transmissions over various networks, including in an unencrypted form, and may require changes to conform and adapt to technical requirements of connecting networks or devices. CampusReel cannot and does not guarantee that any information sent to or from the Platform will be secure during transmission, nor can CampusReel guarantee the confidentiality of any communication or material transmitted to CampusReel via the Platform or the Internet in general, including, for example, personal information such as your name or address.

No conditions, warranties, or other terms (including any implied terms as to satisfactory quality, fitness for purpose, or conformance with description) apply to the Platform, Platform Content, and/or Services, except to the extent that they are expressly set out in these Terms. THE PLATFORM, PLATFORM CONTENT, USER CONTENT, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, INFORMATION, AND OTHER MATERIALS ON, IN AND MADE AVAILABLE THROUGH THE PLATFORM ARE MADE AVAILABLE “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS.”

9. Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT WILL CAMPUSREEL BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OTHER THAN ACTUAL AND DIRECT DAMAGES PROVEN IN A COURT OF LAW. IN NO EVENT SHALL CAMPUSREEL’S LIABILITY EXCEED THE PRICE YOU (EITHER DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY THROUGH YOUR EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION) PAID FOR THE SERVICE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF THE CLAIM. IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF CAMPUSREEL AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT EXCEED TEN DOLLARS.

Without limiting the foregoing, you understand and acknowledge that CampusReel shall not be liable to you for:

a) Any indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary losses which may be incurred by you arising out of your use of, or inability to use, the Platform or the Services, including any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly), any loss of goodwill or business reputation, or any loss of data suffered by you; or

b) Any loss or damage which may be incurred by you as a result of: (1) any reliance placed by you on the completeness, accuracy, or existence of any information or materials made available through the Platform, including any advertising; (2) any relationship or transaction between you and any advertiser or sponsor whose advertising appears on the Platform or the Services; (3) any changes that CampusReel may make to the Platform or Services, or for any permanent or temporary cessation in the provision of the Services (or any features within the Services); (4) the deletion of, corruption of, unauthorized access to, or failure to store, any content and other communications data maintained or transmitted by or through your use of the Platform or the Services; (5) the use of any products or services obtained on or through the Platform; or (6) any other matter relating to the Platform, the Services, the Platform Content, or the User Content.

The limitations on CampusReel’s liability to you in this Section 9 shall apply whether or not CampusReel has been advised of or should have been aware of the possibility of any such losses arising.

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE PLATFORM, THE SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USING THE PLATFORM AND SERVICES.

10. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless CampusReel, its officers, directors, members, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors and suppliers, from and against all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorneys’ fees) arising from: (a) your use of and access to the Platform and Services; (b) your violation of any of these Terms, including the Privacy Policy; (c) your violation of any third party rights, including intellectual property or privacy rights; and (d) the use by of the Platform by any person using your Internet account or account login. This defense and indemnification obligation will survive these Terms and your use of the Platform and Services. CampusReel reserves the right, at CampusReel’s own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you hereunder, and you shall cooperate in all reasonable respects in such defense. You may not settle any claim contemplated in this Section 10 without the prior written consent of CampusReel.

11. Links To and Features Provided by Third Parties

T he Platform may contain links to other websites or feature services of third parties for the convenience of users: (a) in locating information, products, or services that may be of interest; or (b) with performing or receiving the Services, and complying with any requirements associated with such transactions. These third party websites and services may be available on the Platform via a link, redirect, plug-in, integrated application, or other technology, and may be recognized automatically by your browser.

In order to utilize some aspects of the Platform and Services, you may have to use, accept, install, and review information, data, executables, programs, software, and other items from CampusReel’s third party service providers, suppliers, and licensors. To the extent applicable, these Terms shall apply, but please be aware that CampusReel has no control over these third parties, and that these Terms may not apply to such links and services. CampusReel does not recommend and expressly disclaims any responsibility for the content, the accuracy of the information, or quality of products or services provided by or advertised on third party websites or the transactions you conduct or enter into with third parties. Your use of any third party websites or services is at your own risk, and subject to the terms and conditions of such third parties. CampusReel encourages you to read the privacy policies and terms of use linked or referenced in the websites you enter.

12. Dispute Resolution

Any dispute arising out of these Terms shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual; and an arbitrator must also follow the terms of these Terms, as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability and the scope or enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide. Arbitration shall take place in New York, New York, unless CampusReel elects otherwise.

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of New York. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different CampusReel users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same CampusReel user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, CampusReel will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by CampusReel should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your demand for arbitration and CampusReel will make arrangements to pay all necessary fees directly to the AAA. If the value of the relief sought is more than $10,000 and you are able to demonstrate that the costs of accessing arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of accessing a court for purposes of pursuing litigation on an individual basis, CampusReel will pay as much of the filing, administration, and arbitrator fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the costs of accessing arbitration from being prohibitive. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse CampusReel for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by CampusReel on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules. If an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this agreement to arbitrate shall still apply.

You can choose to reject this agreement to arbitrate by mailing CampusReel a written opt-out notice (“Opt-Out Notice”). The Opt-Out Notice must be postmarked no later than thirty days after the date you accept these Terms for the first time. You must complete the Opt-Out Notice form by providing the information called for in the form, including your name, address (including street number and address, city, state, and zip code), phone number, and the email address used to log in to the CampusReel account to which the opt-out applies. You must sign the Opt-Out Notice for it to be effective. This procedure is the only way you can opt out of the agreement to arbitrate. If you opt out of the agreement to arbitrate, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply. Opting out of this agreement to arbitrate has no effect on any previous, other, or future arbitration agreements that you may have with CampusReel.

13. Operation of the Platform and United States Law

The Platform is controlled and operated from within the United States. Without limiting anything else, CampusReel makes no representation that the Platform, Platform Content, User Content, services, products, information, or other materials available on, in, or through the Platform is appropriate or available for use outside the United States, and access to them from territories where they are illegal is prohibited. Those who choose to access the Platform from outside the United States do so on their own will and are responsible for compliance with applicable laws.

The Platform may only be used in compliance with applicable statutes or regulations relating to the export control laws and regulations of the United States, and any amendment thereof. The Platform, the Platform Content, and all underlying information and technology licensed hereunder shall not be accessed, downloaded, used, possessed, or otherwise exported or re-exported to (or to a national or resident of) any country outside of the United States without first complying strictly and fully with all export controls and other applicable laws that may be imposed by the United States Government or any country or organization of nations within whose jurisdiction you use the Platform, the Platform Content, or any underlying information or technology.

14. Miscellaneous

These Terms, including the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire legal agreement between you and CampusReel regarding the Platform and govern your use of the Platform, Services, and any transactions you may have with CampusReel through the Platform. These Terms completely replace and supersede any prior agreement or understanding, arrangement, undertaking, or proposal, written or oral, between you and CampusReel regarding these matters. In the event any other rule, code of conduct, or other matter posted on the Platform conflicts with the terms of these Terms, these Terms shall govern. No oral explanation or oral information given by any party shall alter the interpretation of these Terms.

You understand that CampusReel may make changes to these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of the Platform following the posting of changes to these Terms will be considered your consent to those changes. When these changes are made, CampusReel will make a new copy of the Terms available on the Platform. You agree that CampusReel is under no obligation to provide you with notices regarding changes to these Terms. You understand that it is your responsibility to check the Terms regularly for changes.

You agree that any failure or delay of CampusReel to exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy contained in or made available by these Terms (or that CampusReel has the benefit of under any applicable law) will not be taken to be a formal waiver of CampusReel’s rights and that those rights or remedies will still be available to CampusReel. If any court of law, having the jurisdiction to decide a matter arising out of these Terms, rules that any provision of these Terms is invalid, then that provision will be removed from these Terms without affecting the rest of the Terms and the remaining provisions will continue to be valid and enforceable.
