From: Daniel Michniewicz <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, 6 Nov 2013 21:04:41 +0000 Hello all. Has anyone signed on with the videostreaming service Criterion on Demand and would be willing to share their insights? Criterion presented us with a Subscription Agreement for it (it’s more or less identical to what is on http://www.criterionondemand.com/terms-and-conditions), and we have some big concerns about the document, including: - us having to host some of their content but them getting to pre-approve any third party we may use to do that? - them entitled to damages/relief “without the necessity of proving damages”? - “Submissions”: first, what submissions are they referring to; then, we must evaluate our users’ submissions for content (how?); and finally, Criterion gets perpetual licence to use our users’ submissions as they wish? - changes to Terms of Use and Termination with warning/notification or chance for us to remedy the situation? - the “Arbitration” provision: they can take legal action against us, but we can’t against them; and if we do, they can get fees and costs from us? Please let me know off-list. Thank you. Dan Michniewicz Digital Resources Librarian Seneca College of Applied Arts and Technology [log in to unmask]
