Description of the OVERTURE+ Services
- OVERTURE+ is an original video hosting website that enables Clients to access, stream, view, upload, store, and share videos to their End-users. The OVERTURE+ Services is made up of the OVERTURE+ website, the OVERTURE+ video player that is embeddable onto any website, the OVERTURE+ apps and web-apps as accessible via any current or future device capable of distributing the OVERTURE+ website and/or the video player, and more generally any OVERTURE+ products, content, channels, software, data feeds, services, and functionality (“OVERTURE+ Services”).
- By accessing and/or using the OVERTURE+ Services, without being logged into OVERTURE+ Client Account, you will be hereinafter a “Visitor.” As a Visitor, you will only access, stream, view, or share videos available on the OVERTURE+ Services, but will not utilize the other features available on the OVERTURE+ Services as a Client. An “OVERTURE+ Account” means the video content storage space on the OVERTURE+ Services which is dedicated to a Client that can be created by signing up for an OVERTURE+ Account through our Sales Department (sales@overture.plus).
- If You want to be able to upload videos and access some other features of the OVERTURE+ Services, you will need to first create a Client account and have your email address validated. Ensure that the information you provide when creating an account is accurate and complete including the email address you provided is valid. You will then be a Client once you agree to our scope of work, and terms and conditions.
- By creating an OVERTURE+ Account, you agree that You alone will be responsible (to OVERTURE+ and to others) for all activity that occurs under Your OVERTURE+ Account. The Client ID and password which are necessary to access the OVERTURE+ Account and the features associated with it are your sole responsibility and it is Your obligation to keep them confidential.
- If You are a client, you may notably upload video files (that must be compliant with these Terms) on the OVERTURE+ Services and have a nickname and an avatar that will be associated with Your OVERTURE+ Account. All elements posted by You on the OVERTURE+ Services are deemed to be “Your Content.”
- If you are a Visitor or End-user, you can access, stream, view, or share videos that are uploaded on OVERTURE+. You can also report content which may be contrary to our Terms for investigation.
-
Intellectual Property Rights
- For the entire period during which Your Content is hosted on the OVERTURE+ Services as a Client, You grant to OVERTURE+, and its affiliates, the non-exclusive rights to reproduce, represent, stream, replay (including offline display without permanent download), exploit, exhibit, show, market, distribute and to technically modify and compress Your Content as is strictly necessary for the purposes of the viewing and/or streaming of Your Content on the OVERTURE+ Services.
- By making Your Content accessible on the OVERTURE+ Services, You agree to allow any Visitors or End-users of the OVERTURE+ Services, to view and to share Your Content through the OVERTURE+ video player on or through any declination of the OVERTURE+ Services, as accessible (online or offline) via any current or future device capable of distributing the OVERTURE+ Services by any means of access, including but not restricted to computers, smartphones, tablets, TV devices, IPTV platforms, and/or game consoles free-of-charge.
- Despite this allowance, Your Content shall always remain Your property. Please note that due to the nature of the Internet and digital media, data transmitted – including Your Content – cannot be protected against risks of misappropriation and/or piracy, for which OVERTURE+ shall not be liable. You are responsible for taking all appropriate steps to protect Your data, where applicable.

Copyright - DMCA
- OVERTURE+ respects the intellectual property of others and expects its Clients and End-users to do the same. You must ensure that the materials they upload do not infringe any third-party copyright. OVERTURE+ will promptly remove materials in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) when properly notified that the materials infringe a third party's copyright. OVERTURE+ will also, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers. OVERTURE+ will terminate Client or End-user accounts that receive three (3) DMCA strikes. A “DMCA strike” accrues each time that material is removed from a End-user’s account due to a DMCA notice. We may group multiple DMCA notices received within a short period of time as a single DMCA strike.
- In filing any request for copyright infringement, please ensure that your notice is complete and that your statements are accurate. If we request additional information necessary to make your notice complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to provide the required information, your request may not be processed further. For non-copyright complaints, please write to us in Subject line Trademark Infringement Complaint or our Privacy Complaint Form.
- To request the removal of materials based upon copyright infringement, you must file a notice. OVERTURE+ may disclose notices with affected End-users and third-party databases that collect information about copyright takedown notices. If you are an OVERTURE+ Client and wishes to challenge the removal of materials caused by a DMCA takedown notice, you must file a counter-notification.
