Terms of Service
Please read carefully the following terms and conditions (the “Terms“, or the
“Terms of Service“), before using Video Creator(the “Platform“) powered by
StoryXpress, Inc. By registering or using the Platform you agree to follow and
be bound by the Terms. If you do not agree with the Terms, you may not use the
Platform.
Please note that these Terms of Service shall replace and supersede any separate
terms and conditions contained in any click-through use agreement you may assent
to while accessing the Service.
The Terms apply to manufacturers, as well as retailers (collectively
“Manufacturers” or “you”), that may use the Service or be affected by the
Service, directly or indirectly.
The Platform permits Manufacturers to submit, and update Content to create the
videos and publish on Best Buy’s websites. “Content” may include images and
text.
By accessing and using the Platform, you represent, warrant and covenant that:

not use the Platform to create unlawful content, which is prohibited under any
applicable law, including by court injunctions or restraining orders; (3) the

property rights, the right of publicity, the right to privacy, or rights or
duties under consumer protection, product liability, tort, or contract theories,
or constitute libel, slander or defamation, or include material which is
obscene, pornographic, or adult-oriented; (4) you are solely and exclusively
responsible for the Content that you submit on the platform, and you shall make
all reasonable efforts to verify that such Content is accurate, up-to-date and
lawful ; and (5) you are duly authorized to enter into these Terms of Service
and to perform your duties and obligations hereunder.
You agree to: (1) comply, at your expense, with all statutes, regulations, rules
and ordinances of any governmental body, department or agency which apply to or
result from your obligations under these Terms; (2) take full account for all
acts or omissions associated with your access or use of the Platform; (3) comply

Registration and User account
When you register with the Platform, StoryXpress may ask you to provide certain
contact and personal details. You must submit only true, complete and accurate

Service.
You agree to maintain your password in absolute confidentiality and refrain from
disclosing the password to others. You assume full responsibility for any
outcome of your failure to provide true, accurate and complete details in the
course of the registration process, or your conveyance of your log in details to
a third party.
You may terminate your account at any time, by sending a written notification
through email to: support@storyxpress.co . We may require you to verify your
termination notice by sending us an additional termination request message by

terminate 15 days following your notification, and from that date of termination
you will no longer be able to access your account.
Notwithstanding any remedies that may be available to StoryXpress under any
applicable law, StoryXpress may temporarily or permanently deny, limit, suspend,
or terminate your account, remove content from the platform, and take technical
and legal steps to keep you off the Platform if StoryXpress believes that: (1)
you have abused your rights to use the Platform; (2) you have breached the
Terms; or (3) you have performed any act or omission which is harmful or likely
to be harmful to StoryXpress, or to any third party, including other retailers
or manufacturers. StoryXpress may send you a notice within a reasonable period
of time prior to the termination or suspension of your account.

deployed or syndicated to its website due to factors determined by Best Buy that
are beyond StoryXpress control.

General
The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and StoryXpress with
respect to the use of the Platform and supersedes any and all other agreements
with respect to the Platform. No waiver, concession, extension, representation,
alteration, addition or derogation from the Terms, or pursuant to the Terms,
will be effective unless consented to explicitly and executed in writing by both
parties.
The Terms do not create in any way a partnership, joint venture, employment
relationship, franchise, agency or any other similar relationship between
StoryXpress and you, and nothing in the Terms will be interpreted or construed
as creating or establishing any such relationship.
As between you and StoryXpress, the Terms will take precedence over all
documents, forms and policies incorporated thereto, unless specifically
indicated in such documents that a certain provision takes precedence over the
conflicting provision of the Terms. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Terms
will take precedence over any separate terms and conditions contained in a
click-through use agreement you assent to while accessing the Platform.
Failure on the part of StoryXpress to demand performance of any provision of the
Terms will not constitute a waiver of any right under the Terms.
All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive termination,
will survive termination, including, without limitation, the intellectual
property, disclaimer of warranty, limitation of liability and indemnification
sections.
At any time, StoryXpress may transfer ownership, rights in and title to the
Platform, or any part thereof to any third party.
You may not assign, transfer, delegate, sublicense, or otherwise deal with or
dispose of any of your rights or obligations under the Terms, without the prior
explicit and written consent of StoryXpress. Any attempted assignment without
StoryXpress’s consent is void.
The section headings in the Terms are included for convenience only.
Severability
If any provision of the Terms is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable by
a competent court, then the provision will be performed and enforced to the
maximum extent permitted by law, and the remaining provisions of the Terms will
continue to remain in full force and effect.
