Truveo Director Account Addendum:
This addendum outlines the usage terms for tools and permissions (a
"Director Account") for uploading Content to Truveo's video search
service and index (the "AOL Video Search Service"). In order to
create and use a Director Account you must complete the registration
process displayed to you for the Director Account and agree to the
following terms and conditions.
THIS IS A LEGALLY BINDING AGREEMENT BETWEEN YOU (EITHER AN INDIVIDUAL
OR A SINGLE ENTITY) AND AOL LLC. ("AOL"). THIS DIRECTOR ACCOUNT
ADDENDUM CONTAINS SUPPLEMENTAL TERMS TO THE TERMS IN THE TERM OF USE
SET FORTH AT http://about.aol.com/aolnetwork/aolcom_terms (THE "TOS").
THIS ADDENDUM AND THE TOS ARE COLLECTIVELY THE "AGREEMENT" AND GOVERN
YOUR USE OF THE DIRECTOR ACCOUNT. BY CLICKING "I AGREE AND ACCEPT
THESE TERMS," OR BY USING THE DIRECTOR ACCOUNT, YOU AGREE TO THE TERMS
OF THE AGREEMENT. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THIS AGREEMENT CLICK THE
CANCELLATION BUTTON AND DO NOT SUBMIT CONTENT OR USE THE DIRECTOR
ACCOUNT.
-
DIRECTOR ACCOUNTS AND KEY ISSUANCE. Before uploading any
Content to the AOL Video Search Service, you will be required to
obtain a unique alphanumeric key, which will be assigned to you by AOL
upon successful completion of the API registration process. This key
is uniquely associated with your AOL Service screen name and the URL
of a publicly available website from which you wish to upload Content
(your "Site"). Your key will also be uniquely associated with all
versions, upgrades and updates of your Site created by you. Your Site
at all times must incorporate the applicable AOL-assigned key and is
required in order for the network on which the AOL Video Search
Service operates (the "AOL Network") to ingest your uploaded
Content. You agree and acknowledge that this key is fully revocable by
AOL at any time, and at all times, AOL has the right to block attempts
to access the AOL Network with an invalid or revoked key.
-
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES. You are solely responsible for
uploading the Content from your Site, and for adding appropriate
keyword tags, thumbnails and text descriptions about you or the
Content. If you have not provided the aforementioned, AOL in its sole
discretion may, but has no obligation to, generate tags, thumbnails,
descriptions or other identifiers for your Content. Certain types of
Content may be submitted to AOL Video Search Service electronically
via technical specifications provided to you by AOL (the "Bulk
Upload"). You agree to comply with the then-current specifications
provided by AOL to enable proper delivery and display of the
Content. If the Content submitted via the Bulk Upload contains URLs
(or equivalent thereof) that you are submitting to AOL, you agree that
AOL has the right to access, index, cache or crawl the URL(s) (or
equivalent thereof), the Content itself, or any portion thereof
(without regard to any robots.txt file which does not authorize
crawling) in connection with AOL's authorized use of the Content.
-
LICENSE. You hereby grant AOL and any AOL affiliates a
worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, license to use, distribute,
reproduce, display, adapt, perform, store, translate, sublicense and
promote your uploaded Content (or any portion thereof) throughout the
AOL Video Search Service regardless of transmission speed (dial-up,
DSL, cable, wireless, etc.) or type of device (PC, PDA, mobile phone,
etc.) as AOL may determine in its sole discretion.
-
OWNERSHIP. The Director Accounts, AOL Video Search Service,
and AOL Network shall remain the exclusive property of AOL, and this
Agreement does not grant any right, title or interest in any
intellectual property owned by AOL.
-
ADVERTISING RIGHTS. AOL has the sole right to sell any and all
advertising and sponsorship rights with respect to the AOL Network,
including without limitation distribution of the AOL Video Search
Service (including without limitation on all Internet pages of the AOL
Network or AOL Video Search Service that contain the Content), and AOL
will be entitled to retain any and all revenue generated from any
sales of such advertising or sponsorships throughout the AOL Network.
-
PUBLICITY. AOL may publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement
and the availability of the Content and may identify you as a Director
Account on the AOL Video Search Service, and in public statements,
marketing materials and press releases.

-
You agree and acknowledge that AOL has the right but not the
obligation to include uploaded Content in the AOL Video Search

Site from accessing or working with the AOL Network at any time for
any reason or no reason.
