Directable offers a variety of user accounts. You can find out about all the types of accounts, as well as their features and pricing on www.directable.com.

 

Content & Options

Directable offers a number of ways to share, your Show with others. We refer to the user assembled materials as "Content".  Licenses you grant to Directable for use of your Content:

  • In order to provide the Service to you in accordance with these terms, we need certain licenses from you in order for us to, e.g., host, store and display the content. For example, we need the right to publicly display/perform the work to allow us to display it on the TV display of any party who is not the copyright holder. We need the right to reproduce the content so that it can be saved to our servers. We need to create derivative works and modify the content, for example, when transcoding an uploaded image into a format that will work most efficiently with the Service. We may show a version of any public-facing slides you have created to third parties for our marketing purposes.
  • With respect to Content, you hereby do and shall grant to Directable (and its successors, assigns, and third-party service providers) a worldwide, non-exclusive, revocable, royalty-free, fully paid, sub-licensable, and transferable license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works, communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, distribute and transmit the content.

 

Third-Party Content

Directable gives you the option, when creating or editing a Show, to search for and insert third party content, such as images, into your Show. Such third-party content is subject to certain license terms. For example, if you use an image that is licensed pursuant to a Creative Commons license that prohibits commercial use, you may not use the image for commercial purposes. Some license terms may limit the manner in which you are permitted to share content with others, or to allow re-use of a Show. You agree to review and comply with the license terms applicable to any third-party content in a Show.

 

Payment Terms

You agree to pay the then-current fee for the account type you have selected. The current fee for the account type you have selected will automatically and immediately be charged to your payment method or account on the date your free trial expires. Fees charged for one account type may not be credited towards other account types. All currency references are in U.S. dollars.

 

Payment for Subscription

You agree to pay the then-current fee for the account type you have selected. The current fee for the account type you have selected will automatically and immediately be charged to your payment instrument or account on the date your free trial expires. Fees charged for one account type may not be credited towards other account types. All currency references are in U.S. dollars.

  • Fraud Protections -  To protect against potential fraud, Directable may take steps to verify the validity of the credit card information you provide to us. The verification process may include debiting an amount between $0.01 and $0.99 from your credit card account and then immediately crediting the same amount back to your credit card, as well as asking you to verify the amount debited in order to confirm that you are in possession of your credit card. Directable will only use this process to screen for fraud and will not otherwise debit your credit card account except as part of a transaction conducted through your account for the Service. By providing Directable with your credit card information, you authorize Directable to debit and credit your credit card account for an amount less than one dollar for such verification purposes.
  • Cancellation of Subscription - Payment for subscriptions is non-refundable. If you cancel your recurring payment option, your account will remain active until its next renewal date. If you delete your account before the end of the term for which you paid, your cancellation will take effect immediately. In either case (cancellation or deletion), you will not be given any refund.
  • Termination - If your credit card is invalid for any reason, your paid Directable account will be suspended. Directable further reserves the right to cancel and account for non-payment.
