You warrant that all Customer Materials uploaded by you, either from your own computer, mobile device, or another website/server, is either created and owned by you, or you have the necessary licenses, rights and permissions to use the Customer Materials as you intend to use them and as contemplated by the Site and grant Vocal Video the rights described herein.

c. Limited Customer Materials License. To allow Vocal Video to offer you the Services, you hereby grant Vocal Video, a non-exclusive, fully transferable, worldwide, fully paid right and license to use, reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, transmit, and display your Customer Materials, but only for the limited purposes of providing the Services to you and as otherwise permitted by the Vocal Video privacy policies. This license also extends to any trusted third parties we work with to the extent necessary to provide the Services to you. You retain all ownership of your Customer Materials.

d. Limited Vocal Licensed Content License. Vocal Video has developed its own proprietary video, audio, and image content and licenses certain image and musical content in the form of audio/musical recordings, photos and/or video clips from third parties (previously referred to as "Vocal Licensed Content") and makes that content available to its Customers for use in making Vocal Produced Videos.

This means that you will be billed in advance on a recurring, periodic basis (each period is called a "Billing Cycle"). Billing cycles are typically monthly or annual, depending on what subscription plan you select when purchasing a Subscription. Your Subscription will automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle unless you cancel auto-renewal through your online account management page, or by contacting our customer success team. While we will be sad to see you go, you may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription at any time, in which case your Subscription will continue until the end of that billing cycle before terminating. You may cancel auto-renewal on your Subscription immediately after the Subscription starts if you do not want it to renew.

i. Price Changes. Vocal Video may change the Fees charged for the Services at any time, provided that, for Services billed on a subscription basis, the change will become effective only at the end of the then-current billing cycle of your Subscription. Vocal Video will provide you with advance notice of any change in Fees.

j. Overage Fees. Unless otherwise stated, any overage fees incurred by you will be billed in arrears. Overage fees which remain unpaid for 30 days after being billed are considered overdue. Failure to pay overage fees when due may result in the applicable Services being limited, suspended, or terminated (subject to applicable legal requirements), which may result in a loss of your data associated with the Services.

k. Subscription Upgrades Added Mid-Subscription Term. You may request to add more subscription units (e.g. change plan type or add storage) to a subscription during a subscription term. The additional subscription upgrade will be as specified on the Order Form of the underlying subscription (or, absent such specification, at the same per unit pricing as the underlying subscription pricing), prorated for the portion of that subscription term remaining at the time the subscription upgrade is added. Any such additional subscription upgrade will renew or terminate on the same date as the underlying subscription. Subscription units relating to a Service cannot be decreased during a subscription term for that Service.

l. Downgrades and Inactivity. You acknowledge that we reserve the right to convert any Paid Customer account to a Free Customer account upon non-receipt of a subscription fee. You understand and agree that in the event your status as Paid Customer is terminated or interrupted for any reason, including, but not limited to, the expiration of the Subscription and/or your failure to renew a new Subscription, that your Vocal Produced Videos may become disabled and will not be viewable on any site.
