Effective Date: September 8, 2021
GENERAL
Better Place Forests Co. (“Better Place”) has created personalized “Meet My Tree” videos (the “Videos”) to share with Better Place customers (“Customer(s)”) at no cost. Each personalized Video describes and displays footage/photos of Customer’s memorial tree, the applicable Better Place forest and in some cases, images of Customer and/or their family or friends (“Visitor(s)”) taken with the permission of Customer and Visitors while visiting a Better Place forest. Subject to these Meet My Tree Terms and Conditions (“Terms”), Customer may view the Videos and may share the Videos with Visitors, other family members, friends, colleagues, or other persons (collectively, “Other Individuals” and together with Customer, the “Viewers”) designated by Customer, via email by sharing the email address(es) of the Other Individuals with Better Place, or via social media platforms such as Facebook. Unless enrolled in marketing or other transactional communications from Better Place, Other Individuals will not be contacted by Better Place for any reason other than to share the Videos upon Customer’s request.
These Terms apply to all Viewers. By (i) engaging with, viewing or sharing the Videos, or (ii) accepting any benefits from the Videos, Viewers accept these Terms and all terms incorporated by reference as described below. If Viewers do not agree to be bound by these Terms, they may not and should not engage with or view the Videos.
These Terms supplement the terms of Better Place’s Terms of Service available at https://www.betterplaceforests.com/terms/ (as they may be modified from time to time), which are incorporated herein by reference (“Terms of Service”) and Better Place’s Privacy Policy available at https://www.betterplaceforests.com/privacy/ (as it may be amended from time to time) which is incorporated herein by reference (“Privacy Policy”). In the event of a conflict between these Terms and Better Place’s Terms of Service, these Terms control with respect to the Videos.
Engagement or use of the Videos by Viewers is offered at the sole discretion of Better Place and is subject to compliance with these Terms.
IMPORTANT: Better Place may limit, suspend, or terminate Viewers’ ability to engage with or use the Videos in its sole and absolute discretion at any time with or without prior notice to them.
Viewers understand and agree that if they engage with or use the Videos, even if such Videos are provided as a ‘Beta” or “trial,’ the Videos are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. The Videos may include technical, typographical, or photographic errors. Better Place does not warrant that any of the Videos are accurate, complete or current. Better Place may make changes to the Videos at any time without notice. However, Better Places does not make any commitment to update the Videos.
CUSTOMER AND VISITOR LIKENESS
Customer Content means any name, words, pictures, likeness, images, data, information or any “user-generated content” that Better Place has in its possession from Customer’s visit to a Better Place forest, including, in some cases, the picture, likeness, image or data of Visitors, or that Customer shares or inputs when sharing the Videos. Customer grants Better Place the non-exclusive, worldwide right to use, copy, store, transmit and display Customer Content and to modify and create derivative works of Customer Content to create and provide the Videos and any support to Customer under these Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Better Place may use, reproduce, publicize, or otherwise exploit Anonymized Data in any way, where “Anonymized Data” refers to Customer Content with the following removed: personally identifiable information including the names, addresses, or email addresses of Customer or any Other Individuals. Customer waives any right to be notified or to inspect or approve the Videos.
By sharing the Videos with Other Individuals, Customer hereby consents to the distribution of Customer’s name, image, and likeness and hereby represents and warrants that it has the permission of its Visitors to distribute each of their names, images and likeness, as well as information regarding Customer’s memorial tree, to third parties, including Other Individuals. Customer understands and agrees that when Customer shares Videos, neither Better Place nor Customer can control or prevent third parties, including Other Individuals, from further distributing the Videos. If Customer shares Videos via social media platforms such as Facebook, Better Place may, in its discretion, reshare such Customer Videos on Better Place’s social media accounts via the sharing features on the applicable social media platform.
Customer waives any and all claims, damages, or liability arising from or related to the distribution of the Videos, including but not limited to any misuse, distortion, blurring, alteration, optical illusion, or use in composite form, either intentionally or otherwise, that may occur or be produced in taking, processing, reducing, adapting, modifying, producing, reproducing of the Videos and their distribution, display or performance.
CONTACT INFORMATION
By providing Other Individuals’ contact information to Better Place for the purpose of Better Place providing them with the Videos, Customer represents and warrants that (i) Other Individuals are at least eighteen (18) years of age at the time of participation, (ii) Customer has received prior consent from Other Individuals to provide their email address to Better Place for the purposes of receiving Videos, and (iii) unless Customer advises otherwise in writing, Customer allows Better Place to share Customer Videos again should Other Individuals request Better Place provide them in the future. Customer agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Better Place for any claims or other liability arising from its breach of the foregoing representations.
Better Place reserves the right, in its sole discretion, not to share Videos with any individual where Better Place deems a Viewer to be in violation of these Terms.
