Terms of Use

Welcome to the Wurl platform including the wurl.com website and all related services (this “Platform”). These Terms of Use (“TOU”) govern your access to and use of the Platform and any services provided through the Platform (the “Service”). By accessing or using this Platform or Service, you agree to be bound by these TOU and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by reference. If you do not agree to be bound by the terms and conditions of these TOU, do not use or access the Platform or Service.

Modification of TOU

Wurl reserves the right to (i) modify, discontinue or terminate the Platform and Service, or (ii) modify these TOU or any related terms and conditions governing your use of the Platform and Service at any time without advance notice. If we modify these TOU, we will give notice to all registered Wurl users of the new terms and all modified terms and conditions will be effective after they are initially posted on the Platform (unless a longer notice period is required by applicable law). If any modified terms and conditions are not acceptable to you, your only recourse is to cease using the Platform and Service, and if applicable, cancel your account with us. Your use of the Platform or the Service after we have provided such notice will represent your acceptance of the revised TOU.

Wurl Service

Wurl, as part of its Service, makes available a searchable index of thousands of public video Feeds, which users may search and to which they may subscribe or “Follow”. A “Feed” is a collection or series of videos that are made available by a single publisher. Subscribers may also add to the Wurl inventory of video Feeds. You agree that Wurl has no responsibility or liability for any message or other communication or content maintained or transmitted via the Platform or the Service.

The Platform makes video Feeds available and consequently contains links to third-party websites and resources, which provide access to content and services from third parties. You agree that Wurl is not responsible or liable for the: (i) availability or accuracy of, such websites or resources; or (ii) content, and in particular video content, or services, on or available from such websites or resources, and you assume sole responsibility for, and all risk arising from, access to such content and services. Wurl does not endorse or recommend any such third party content or services, nor is it affiliated with the provider of such third party content and services, including, without limitation, the video Feeds made available via the Platform and Service. Your access to and use of the Platform and Service is at your own risk. Wurl is not responsible or liable for any harm to your computer system, loss of data or any other harm that results from your access to, or use of, the Platform or Service.
