Document:
Thank you for choosing Nimia. The Nimia Internet Application (NIMIA) is one of the world’s most advanced archives & rights management systems for producers, directors, cinematographers, and professional videographers. Please read this Cloud Storage Agreement, Application License Agreement, Site User Agreement, Community Section Agreement, and Producer Agreement carefully before using NIMIA. In consideration for using NIMIA, you are agreeing to be bound by the terms of these agreements (Producer Agreement only applicable if user contributes content to be licensed). If you do not agree to the terms of the Cloud Storage Agreement, Application License Agreement, Site User Agreement, Community Section Agreement, or Producer Agreement (Producer Agreement is applicable if user is contributing content to be licensed) do not use the application.
Important Note: To the extent that this application may be used to reproduce materials, it is licensed to you only for reproduction of materials in which you own the copyright, or materials you are authorized or legally permitted to reproduce. To the extent that this application may be used for remote access to video files for viewing between computers, remote access of copyrighted videos is only provided for lawful personal use or as otherwise legally permitted. If you are uncertain about your right to copy or permit access to any material you should contact your legal advisor. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these terms. In that case, “you” and “your” will refer to that organization.
Your Digital Assets & Your Privacy.
By using our Services you provide us with information, files, and folders that you submit to NIMIA (together, “your digital assets”). You retain full ownership to your digital assets. We don’t claim any ownership to any of it. These Terms do not grant us any rights to your digital assets or intellectual property except for the limited rights that are needed to run the Services, as explained below.
We may need your permission to do things you ask us to do with your digital assets, for example, hosting your files, or sharing them at your direction. This includes product features visible to you, for example, image thumbnails or document previews. It also includes design choices we make to technically administer our Services, for example, how we redundantly backup data to keep it safe. You give us the permissions we need to do those things solely to provide the Services. This permission also extends to trusted third parties we work with to provide the Services, for example Amazon, which provides our storage space (again, only to provide the Services).
We may choose to review public content for compliance with our community guidelines, but you acknowledge that Nimia has no obligation to monitor any information on the Services. We are not responsible for the accuracy, completeness, appropriateness, or legality of files, user posts, or any other information you may be able to access using the Services.
The Services provide features that allow you to share your digital assets with others or to make it public. There are many things that users may do with those digital assets (for example, copy it, modify it, re-share it). Please consider carefully what you choose to share or make public. Nimia has no responsibility for that activity.
Files and other content in the Services may be protected by intellectual property rights of others. Please do not copy, upload, download, or share files unless you have the right to do so. You, not Nimia, will be fully responsible and liable for what you copy, share, upload, download or otherwise use while using the Services. You must not upload spyware or any other malicious software to the Service.
You, and not Nimia, are responsible for maintaining and protecting all of your digital assets. Nimia will not be liable for any loss or corruption of your digital assets, or for any costs or expenses associated with backing up or restoring any of your digital assets.
If your contact information, or other information related to your account, changes, you must notify us promptly and keep your information current. The Services are not intended for use by you if you are under 18 years of age. By agreeing to these Terms, you are representing to us that you are over 18.
You are responsible for safeguarding the password that you use to access the Services and you agree not to disclose your password to any third party. You are responsible for any activity using your account, whether or not you authorized that activity. You should immediately notify Nimia of any unauthorized use of your account. You acknowledge that if you wish to protect your transmission of data or files to NIMIA, it is your responsibility to use a secure encrypted connection to communicate with the Services.
These terms do not grant you any right, title, or interest in the Services, Software, or the content in the Services. While we appreciate it when users send us feedback, please be aware that we may use any feedback, comments, or suggestions you send us or post in our forums without any obligation to you. The Software and other technology we use to provide the Services are protected by copyright, trademark, and other laws of both the United States and foreign countries. These Terms do not grant you any rights to use the Nimia trademarks, logos, domain names, or other brand features. The Services may continue to change over time as we refine and add more features. We may stop, suspend, or modify the Services at any time without prior notice to you. We may also remove any content from our Services at our discretion.
The Services may contain links to third-party websites or resources. Nimia does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for their availability, accuracy, the related content, products, or services. You are solely responsible for your use of any such websites or resources. Also, if we provide you with any software under an open source license, there may be provisions in those licenses that expressly conflict with these Terms, in which case the open source provisions will apply.
You can stop using our Services any time. We reserve the right to suspend or end the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use if you are not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in any way that would cause us legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Services. If we suspend or terminate your use, we will try to let you know in advance and help you retrieve data, though there may be some cases (for example, repeatedly or flagrantly violating these Terms, a court order, or danger to other users) where we may suspend immediately.
Though we want to provide a great service, there are certain things about the service we can’t promise. For example, THE SERVICES AND SOFTWARE ARE PROVIDED “AS IS”, AT YOUR OWN RISK, WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF ANY KIND. WE ALSO DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. Nimia will have no responsibility for any harm to your computer system, loss or corruption of data, or other harm that results from your access to or use of the Services or Software. Some states do not allow the types of disclaimers in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL NIMIA, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS) DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT NIMIA HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; (B) AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES MORE THAN THE GREATER OF $20 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO NIMIA FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS OF THE SERVICES IN QUESTION. Some states do not allow the types of limitations in this paragraph, so they may not apply to you.
THESE TERMS AND THE USE OF THE SERVICES AND SOFTWARE WILL BE GOVERNED BY CALIFORNIA LAW EXCEPT FOR ITS CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES. ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICES OR SOFTWARE MUST BE LITIGATED EXCLUSIVELY IN THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS OF SAN FRANCISCO COUNTY, CALIFORNIA, AND BOTH PARTIES CONSENT TO VENUE AND PERSONAL JURISDICTION THERE. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Nimia with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Nimia’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Nimia may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Nimia and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors.

In addition, Services and Third Party Materials that may be accessed from, displayed on or linked to from the Nimia Application are not available in all languages or in all countries or regions.

This Agreement applies to all Content (as the term is defined in Section 1.2) that Producer has previously submitted and, in the future, will submit via the Nimia website located at the Site.
Provision of Content: The Parties acknowledge that Producer may, from time to time, provide video files, digital assets, animations, information, photographs, illustrations, audio files, flash files, data files and other material (collectively, “Content”) together with other information, documents (such as model or property releases) or software relating to such Content (“Descriptive Information“) to the Nimia Asset Manager and Licensing Platform (the “Platform”) using the upload procedures as specified on the Site or such other procedures as the parties may mutually agree.
Producer in their sole discretion may determine which of such Content is suitable for publishing to the Nimia archives (“Published Files”).
Producer in their sole discretion may determine which of such Content is suitable for private licensing through the Nimia platform (“Direct Sales Content”).
Producer in their sole discretion may determine which of such content is suitable for public licensing (content they choose to license and publish) through the Nimia archives (“Licensable Content”). Nimia in their sole discretion may determine which of stated Licensable Content to approve and place into the Nimia Marketplace for public license (“Appointed Content”).
Content Management and Storage: Producer hereby grants Nimia permission to use Content files to perform services related to content management and storage (Services). The Services include but is not limited to archiving, copying, playing back, displaying, and transferring Content files. Producer agrees to permit Nimia to extend Producer’s grant of authority to trusted third parties that Nimia works with to provide Services.
Published Files: Producer hereby grants Nimia permission to display Producer’s Published Files to the general public.
Direct Sales Content: Producer hereby grants Nimia a worldwide right to license Direct Sale Content to a licensee that Producer chooses. The licensee may use the Direct Sale Content according to the specific license type and add-on licenses selected by the licensee. The Parties agree that all rights, including title and copyright, in and to the Direct Sale Content will be retained by the Producer, and no title or copyright is transferred or granted in any way to Nimia or any third party except as provided in this Agreement.
Appointed Content: Producer hereby grants Nimia a worldwide right to sell, license and/or sublicense Appointed Content to any prospective licensees for any and all media now in existence or that may in the future be introduced, including without limitation via the Site, print, 3rd party websites, other electronic formats, mobile devices, TV, cinema, exhibitions; and, subject to applicable laws, may be used for any purpose of any nature including without limitation for advertising, publicity, promotions, graphic design, marketing within and on products, corporate communications, press articles, press releases, brochures, reports, décor, programs and films.
Nimia may sublicense or authorize any third party distributors (“Distributors”), any customer who licenses Appointed Content from Nimia or a Distributor (“Clients”) and their respective customers to exercise the rights described in this Section 1. Nimia and any Distributors or Clients will determine the terms and conditions of all licenses of Appointed Content granted by them, but will not use or license Appointed Content for uses that are defamatory, pornographic or otherwise illegal and will use commercially reasonable efforts to stop any such use by Clients brought to their attention. Nimia and Distributors may determine how Appointed Content may be marketed and may stop marketing or licensing it at any time. If Nimia notifies Producer that it has permanently stopped marketing and licensing any particular Appointed Content, the Agreement will be deemed to be terminated only with regards to that Appointed Content.
The Parties agree that all rights, including title and copyright, in and to the uploaded Appointed Content will be retained by the Producer, and no title or copyright is transferred or granted in any way to Nimia or any third party except as provided in this Agreement.
Collections: Appointed Content may be included in one or more of Nimia’s current or future Content collections (“Collections”) made available for licensing or distribution by Nimia or Distributors or Clients. When Producer submits Appointed Content for distribution and licensing, Producer may, where appropriate, be asked to specify the license model(s) through which the Content is available to be licensed. Nimia will determine the Collection and may subsequently move and license Appointed Content through any other license models and/or Collections. For Content that moves into a new license model and/or Collection, the Royalties of the new license model or Collection will apply going forward.
Content Aggregation. Nimia or a Distributor or Client may offer license models through an application program interface (API) or other utility that will make Appointed Content available for use by clients on a high-volume basis. Accordingly, where appropriate, the amount due to you will be determined according to: (a) the ratio of the number of individual items of your Appointed Content to the total number of individual items of Content licensed together; or (b) in Nimia’s discretion, the relative value of your individual items of Appointed Content compared to all other content licensed together with it.
Consumer Products and Services. Nimia may include Appointed Content within direct-to-consumer products and services (as opposed to Nimia or Distributors licensing to Clients for such uses) including, without limitation, within merchandise and on websites that primarily generate revenue from advertising. The amount due to Producer will be determined in the same way as under Section 1.7.
Marketing Use of Content. Nimia and Distributors may use Appointed Content and/or Published Content to market Producer, Producer work, Nimia, or Distributors, including use in composites that include Content supplied by a third party. No royalties will be paid on these marketing uses.

Notwithstanding that some qualitative standards are required to be met, Nimia does not and cannot review all Content uploaded to the Site and is not responsible for the content, quality, or consequences of your uploading such Content.

Nimia shall have the right but not the obligation to correct any errors or omissions in any Content or Descriptive Information, as it may determine in its sole discretion. You acknowledge that any screening of Content performed by Nimia to determine Appointed Content is done as a courtesy only.
Nimia shall use commercially reasonable efforts to credit Producer as the source of Appointed Content, but shall have no liability for lack of credit. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Moral Rights” means all non-transferable and non-licensable rights belonging to the original creator of Appointed Content that are automatically conferred by legislation to varying degrees in different countries, which shall include the following rights and all rights of a similar nature: (a) the right to be identified as the creator; (b) the right to object to misrepresentative modification of Appointed Content; and (c) the right to withdraw Appointed Content from the market (except pursuant to the termination provisions of this Agreement). To the extent allowed by law, Producer hereby waives all Producer’s Moral Rights relating to Appointed Content. To the extent such waivers are not permitted by applicable law, Producer agrees not to enforce such moral rights against Nimia, Distributors or Clients. Where Producer are not the owner of any Moral Rights, Producer confirms that all Moral Rights have been waived to this same extent or that Producer has obtained the same commitments not to enforce Moral Rights. Further, Producer acknowledges and accepts that it is common business practice for commercial uses that the creator of Content is not credited and that Content may be modified.
Nimia’s designated “Copyright Agent” to receive notifications of claimed infringement is Eric Harrison, located at P.O. Box 85273, email: [email protected].com. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to Nimia customer service through [email protected] Producer acknowledges that if it fails to comply with all of the requirements of this Section 1.10, your DMCA notice may not be valid.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Nimia may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Nimia’s sole discretion.
For royalties calculated according to Exhibit “A”, royalties are paid on Gross License Fees and are based on the type of license model and/or Collection through which Appointed Content and/or Direct Sales is actually licensed as specified in Exhibit “A”. “Gross License Fees” means (a) the amount charged by Nimia or a Distributor/Client to each of their Clients (or the amount charged by Nimia to certain of its Distributors for certain royalty free licenses, where applicable); (b) the amount recovered from a third party infringer in connection with a Claim or (c) the amount of revenue received from consumer products/services that is allocated to the Appointed Content. In all cases, the following deductions shall be made from Gross License Fees before royalties are calculated: any (i) applicable VAT, duty, levy or impost of any nature required to be withheld, deducted or paid by Nimia from any current or future sums due to Producer by any law, regulation, or treaty (excluding: (a) any taxes on the net profits of Nimia or any Distributor; and (b) any withholding taxes imposed on remittances to Nimia from countries outside of the United States); (ii) unauthorized use detection/enforcement fees and expenses, if any; and (iii) shipping charges, insurance charges and service fees such as, for example, special formatting requests, printing/framing costs and technology delivery/access services, in all cases arising out of or resulting from any license of the same Appointed Content (“License Fee Deductions”).
Nimia may deduct the following amounts from the Royalties payable to Producer (together the “Royalty Deductions”): (a) advances on earnings or royalties under any agreement with Nimia; (b) cancellations of a license where the original sale has been reported in a current or past sales report (“Sales Report”) including where due to a fraudulent transaction; (c) overpayment of Royalties in a prior Royalty period; and (d) amounts that may be deducted or withheld. Nimia will notify Producer of any Royalty Deductions in a Sales Report before deducting amounts from payments to Producer. Other than Royalties for Content that is improperly credited to Producer or any cancellations under (b), if Nimia has not notified Producer of any Royalty Deduction within 1 year after it has been incurred, Nimia waives the right to recoup it.
Royalties: Nimia will make available to Producer an Earnings Summary for transactions completed. The Earnings Summary will include the following information: (a) the license sale amount; (b) date of transaction; (c) Content ID number; and (d) royalty rate. Nimia will make Payments when requested by the Producer through the “Request Payment” button inside the Producer’s Earnings page within the Nimia Platform. No payment will be made unless a minimum of US$100.00 (or local currency alternative), after Royalty Deductions, is due to Producer.
Storage Fees: For all non-Appointed Content, Producer shall pay storage rates as indicated on http://nimia.com/pricing/. Unpaid Fees are subject to a finance charge of one percent (1.0%) per month, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection, including reasonable attorneys’ fees. All fees under this Agreement are exclusive of all taxes, including national, state or provincial and local use, sales, value-added, property and similar taxes, if any. Producer agrees to pay such taxes (excluding US taxes based on Nimia’s net income) unless Producer has provided Nimia with a valid exemption certificate. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, in addition to any other remedy available, Nimia may: (a) restrict or suspend Customer’s access to the Services without warning if payment is not made when due; or (b) deduct and offset any amounts due from any earned but unpaid Royalties due producer.
The parties further agree that Nimia shall not be required to pay Royalties to the Producer if Nimia is restrained or otherwise prevented from using rights granted under this Agreement relating to Content because those rights are found to be an infringement or contravention of the intellectual or other property rights of a third party.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Nimia is entitled to set-off against any amount owing to Producer, all amounts to which Nimia is or may be entitled under this Agreement or otherwise at law, including withholding amounts as security for any pending or threatened claim relating to any matter which is the subject of a representation, warranty or indemnity of Producer under this Agreement.
You have obtained valid model and property releases where necessary in accordance with Nimia’s submission requirements applicable at the time of submission and you will keep the original release and provide a copy to Nimia.
You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Nimia and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, shareholders, agents and licensees of Content (singularly a “Nimia Party” and collectively, the “Nimia Parties”) harmless from and against any and all claims, liability, losses, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by any Nimia Party as a result of or in connection with: (i) any use or alleged use of the Site or provision of Content under your Member Name by any person, whether or not authorized by you; (ii) or resulting from any communication made or Content uploaded under your Member Name; (iii) any breach by you of this Agreement; or (iv) any claim threatened or asserted against any Nimia Party to the extent such claim is based upon a contention that any of the Content used within the scope of this Agreement infringes any copyrights, trade secrets, trademarks, right of privacy or publicity, or other intellectual property rights of any third party.
Nimia reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you, and in such case, you agree to cooperate with Nimia’s defense of such claim.
Producer agrees that Nimia shall have the right to determine whether and to what extent to proceed against a licensee or other third party (an “Infringer“) for any violation of a license agreement or alleged infringement of other rights of the Producer. Producer hereby releases Nimia from any and all claims Producer might have, either directly or indirectly, arising out of or in connection with a determination by Nimia to proceed or not to proceed against any Infringer in any instance. Nimia hereby agrees that any monetary recovery it receives as a result of any legal or enforcement action taken against any such Infringer, to the extent such monies are intended to compensate Nimia for lost licensing fees or statutory damages, shall, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in gaining such recovery (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel and experts’ fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis) incurred by or on behalf of Nimia in connection with such action, be divided between the Producer and Nimia pursuant to the provisions contained herein. In the event Nimia elects not to proceed against an Infringer, Producer shall have the right to proceed against such Infringer for such license violation or infringing action. Producer hereby agrees that any monetary recovery it receives as a result of any legal action taken against any such Infringer, to the extent such monies are intended to compensate the Producer for lost licensing fees or include statutory damages, shall, after deduction of all costs and expenses incurred in gaining such recovery (including, without limitation, reasonable counsel and experts’ fees and disbursements on a solicitor and client basis), be divided between the Producer and Nimia pursuant to the provisions contained herein.
