These Terms of Service (“Terms”) are a legally binding agreement between you and Small Screen Producer and its affiliates, as applicable (“Company”, “our”, “we”, or “us”). These Terms govern your access and use of the Company’s Services.

A “Service” means each of the products and services offered by the Company, and any other software, features, products, content, and services that we may provide to you at any time whether via the Website or otherwise.

By accessing or using a Service, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. Without derogating from the provisions of the previous sentence, by clicking a box indicating your acceptance of these Terms, you agree that you have read and are bound by these Terms.

If you agree to these Terms on behalf of a legal entity, you represent that you have the authority to bind such entity to these Terms, in which case the term “you” will refer to such entity.

With respect to individuals, the Services are intended for use by individuals who are of the legal age required to form legally binding contracts under applicable law (but in no event are they intended for use by individuals under the age of 18). If you are an individual, by using a Service, you represent and warrant that you are of at least 18 years of age. If you are not at least 18 years of age, you must not access or use any Service. These Terms are void where prohibited by law and the right to access and use any Service is not granted in such jurisdictions.

In no circumstances is a Service available to any individual or entity who have had their User Account (as such terms is defined below) temporarily or permanently deactivated, or any individual or entity that seeks to use a Service in violation of these Terms.

If you do not agree to be bound by the provisions of these Terms or if you do not have the legal capacity or authority to accept them, you may not use or access any Service.

These Terms apply to all users of the Services, as follows (each of which shall be referred to as “user” or “you”):

  • You are a “Visitor” when you merely browse our Website and/or submit your personal data via the Website’s online chat, feedback forms or any other forms;
  • You are a “Customer” when you use any of the Services other than as a Visitor (including indirectly).
  • An “End User” is an individual or entity that access or uses a Customer Website, Website Property (as such terms are defined below) or any Services deliverable.

The Services are provided on a “Software as a Service” (“SaaS”) basis, and as such, you need to purchase a license to use such Services.
