  • Revenue Sharing Program: the commercial conditions for the provision of the licence to the Content (as described under clause 1.1), including the Compensation. The Revenue Sharing Program is made available to you in your Reecorder account dashboard.

1. License to the Content

Creator hereby grants to Reecorder a non-exclusive, irrevocable and sublicensable right to the Content (that is selected by the Creator through the Platform) to:

  • store, process and create datasets of the Content;
  • provide a non-exclusive, irrevocable and perpetual licence to the Content to AI Labs for AI Training; and
  • perform all rights and obligations under this agreement.

Creator may terminate the licence granted under this clause 1 at any time, provided that any (sub)licence granted by Reecorder before the termination of the licence remains unimpaired.

2. Obligations of Creator

Creator will provide all information and cooperation necessary to enable Reecorder to sublicense the Content to the AI Labs and to perform its rights and obligations under this agreement. This includes, but is not limited to, providing Reecorder with all files of the Content (such as the relevant recordings, clips, audio and transcripts) and any metadata reasonably required. If any difference of opinion arises regarding which information and/or cooperation is required, the position of Reecorder will prevail.

3. Compensation

Creator may be eligible to receive Compensation for the licensing or commercialization of Content. The Compensation shall be determined in accordance with the Revenue Sharing Program in effect at the time of the applicable licensing transaction. Reecorder may update the Revenue Sharing Program from time to time; material changes will be communicated to Creators through the platform or by other reasonable means.

Compensation may vary based on factors including:

  • the Creator's subscription plan at the time revenue is received;
  • the volume of the Creator's content already licensed (including the initial licensed hours remunerated through the free Reecorder tooling);
  • content category;
  • content quality;
  • dataset requirements;
  • customer demand;
  • licensing value;
  • usage rights granted.

Unless otherwise specified, Compensation becomes payable only after Reecorder has received payment from the relevant customer, partner or licensing recipient. Creators can view accrued earnings, payment history and revenue participation through their Reecorder account dashboard. Unless otherwise agreed in writing, all Compensation is governed by the Reecorder Revenue Sharing Program. Specific projects, commissioned datasets, exclusive licences or enterprise agreements may be subject to separate commercial terms.

4. Liability

The liability on the part of Reecorder is excluded for indirect loss and/or consequential loss, such as:

  • lost profit;
  • lost savings;
  • reduced goodwill;
  • loss due to business interruption.

The liability on the part of Reecorder for direct damage or loss is limited to the Compensation or an amount of EUR 1,000 (whichever is lower). Nothing in these Content License Terms excludes or limits Reecorder’s liability where it cannot be excluded or limited under applicable mandatory law (including liability for intent or gross negligence, or for injury to life, body or health).

5. Representations & warranties

Creator represents and warrants that:

  • Creator has full power and authority to enter into and perform this agreement and to carry out its obligations under it;
  • this agreement does not violate any agreement existing between Creator and any other person or (legal) entity;
  • the Content complies and will comply with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in effect during the term of this agreement, including privacy laws (where the Content contains personal data of third parties);
  • the Content does not and will not violate or infringe any Intellectual Property Rights or any other rights of any third party;
  • the Content does not contain anything discriminatory, inflammatory, racist, obscene, sexual and/or wrongful;
  • the Content does not contain any hidden feature(s) and/or elements not expressly disclosed in writing (“Easter Eggs”).

Creator will indemnify and hold harmless Reecorder from any and all claims, damages, loss, expenses and costs (including reasonable attorney’s fees) resulting from a breach of the representations and warranties in this clause 5. The limitations of liability in clause 4 do not apply to any indemnifications.

6. Intellectual Property Rights

Creator owns all Intellectual Property Rights to the Content, and these rights are retained by and will remain vested in Creator. This agreement only provides for a licence and does not transfer or sell any Intellectual Property Rights. A termination of this agreement does not impact any (sub)licences which Reecorder has provided to the Content prior to the termination of the agreement.

7. Confidentiality

The Party that has received Confidential Information from the other Party will:

  • keep the Confidential Information secret;
  • not in any manner whatsoever provide the Confidential Information to third parties, unless it has received prior written permission from the other Party;
  • only use the Confidential Information for the performance of this agreement, and refrain from using or exploiting it for its own benefit or for the benefit of any third party;
  • inform the other Party immediately upon becoming aware or suspecting that an unauthorized person has gained access to the Confidential Information.

8. Term and termination

This agreement is entered into for the period specified in the Commercial Schedule.

  • Each Party has the right to terminate this agreement for any reason upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the other Party.
  • Each Party has the right to terminate this agreement by providing written notice if the other Party breaches any material provision and the breach is not curable, or if the other Party fails to cure the breach within fourteen (14) days of notice of the breach from the non-breaching Party.
  • Each Party has the right to terminate this agreement with immediate effect if the other Party files for protection under bankruptcy or insolvency laws, makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or appoints or suffers appointment of a receiver or trustee over substantially all of its property.

9. Changes to these Content License Terms

Reecorder has the right to unilaterally update and/or change these Content License Terms. You will be notified in advance of any updated and/or changed terms via the Platform. Your continued use after a change constitutes your acceptance of these terms. If you do not want to be bound by the amended terms, you have the right to (1) withdraw your consent for licensing certain Content; or (2) terminate these Content License Terms by emailing contact@reecorder.com.

10. Miscellaneous

This agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties pertaining to the subject matter herein, and supersedes all prior discussions, negotiations, understandings, representations and agreements, whether oral or written. Each Party acknowledges that, in entering into this agreement, it has not relied upon any statement, representation, warranty or promise of any other Party, except as expressly set forth in this agreement.

Neither this agreement nor any right granted or obligation imposed hereunder shall be assignable or otherwise transferable, except with the prior written approval of the other Party.

If any term of this agreement is held to be illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such term shall to that extent be deemed not to form part of this agreement, but the remainder shall remain in full force and effect. To the extent permitted by law, such term shall be deemed substituted by a term that is valid, legal and enforceable and the operation and effect of which is as similar as possible to the term it substitutes for.

The failure or delay of any Party to require performance of, or to otherwise enforce, any condition or provision of this agreement shall not waive or limit that Party’s right to enforce or pursue remedies for the breach of any such provision. Any waiver of a Party’s rights under this agreement must be contained in a writing signed by the waiving Party. This agreement may be modified only in writing and signed by both Parties.

This agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany. Any and all disputes arising from or in connection with this agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the competent court of Berlin, Germany, to the extent permitted by applicable law.
