Storage and User Based Pricing Terms

WIP APP Limited and its wholly owned subsidiary, Wipster Inc (collectively Wipster), welcomes you as a user of the Wipster Services.  The Wipster Service provides a platform for you to share and review your work-in-progress videos, images and PDFs, subject to the following terms of service and Wipster’s Privacy Policy, which may be updated at any time (together our Terms of Service). Any amendments to the Terms of Service will be posted on our Website and will be effective immediately upon such posting. You are responsible for ensuring you are familiar with our latest Terms of Service and your continued use of our Service will be deemed acceptance of any updates. Commonly used words in these Terms of Service are defined at the end, in Section 18.

1 Description of Services

1.1. Wipster provides a platform for content makers to share and review their work-in-progress Media Assets, as set out in more detail in this Section (Services).

1.2 You may sign up to use the Services by completing the application form on the Website or via Facebook or Google and providing Wipster with certain details.  You must complete all information requested accurately and truthfully.  Once you sign up to use the Services, Wipster will create an account for you and you will become a member (Member).

1.3 Once you are a Member you will be provided with a login and password to enable you to access the Services.  You agree not to share any of the information or resources provided as part of the Services with any other party except as specified in the Terms of Service, and you will not allow any person not employed by or affiliated with your business to use your log-in information and password to access the Services.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of log-in information and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.

1.4 As a Member you will be entitled to use the Services as follows:

1.4.1 You can upload a Media Asset to the Website.  Any Media Asset uploaded will be encoded by Wipster into multiple formats to support various internet capable devices including desktop browsers, smartphones and tablets.

1.4.2 You will be able to invite other members to access the Service via your account (each a Team Member). However, you should be aware that each Team Member you invite to access the Service will count towards any user based limits included in your plan (see Sections 3 and 10).

1.4.3 You will also be able to invite a number of people to view the Media Asset (each called a Reviewer).  Wipster will send each Reviewer an individual link to the Media Asset which you wish to invite them to review which will enable the Reviewer to view the Media Asset and comment on that Media Asset.  The email sent to each Reviewer will identify you as the person who invited them to review the relevant Media Asset, brief details of the Media Asset and will enable you and Wipster to identify each Reviewer’s comments.  You will not input bulk Reviewers or use the invite function to send unsolicited emails (otherwise known as “spam”) to individuals or otherwise use the invite function to harass others.  Reviewers will not count towards any user based limits included in your plan.

1.4.4 Each Reviewer may comment and/or provide feedback on the particular Media Asset sent to them at any particular point in that Media Asset.  You will be advised when a comment has been made on your Media Asset and you will be able to view each comment and respond to it.

1.4.5 All Reviewers are able to see comments made on the Media Asset.

1.4.6 All Reviewer comments are collated into a “to do” list which will only be visible and available to the Member who posted the original Media Asset.

1.5 The Services may be modified, improved and/or varied by Wipster at any time and at Wipster’s sole discretion.  Any such modifications, improvements or variations will be advised to you from time to time.

1.6 The Services may also be made available to you through the APP for so long as Wipster makes its APP available, but subject to you complying with Section 17 and you having registered on the Website first.

1.7 The use of our Services is subject to a Fair Use Policy in respect of any features that not limited to a particular number, volume, amount or similar as part of that feature.

1.8 The use of our Services is subject to Limit Policies as described in Sections 3 and 10.

2 Members and Reviewers

2.1 Wipster will send invitations to review a particular Media Asset to each Reviewer you identify.  Wipster is not responsible for checking or verifying in any way the identity of contact details of any Reviewer.  As a Member, you have sole responsibility for the email addresses or other contact details for each Reviewer that you invite to view and comment on any of your Media Assets.

2.2 Because one of the major attractions of the Services is the ease of use, Wipster does not require any Reviewer to log in, use a password, or otherwise identify themselves before accessing the link to any Media Asset sent to them.  You expressly acknowledge this and agree to all invited Reviewers being able to access any of your Media Assets they are invited to review in this manner.

2.3 Wipster will include a disclaimer and warning in all emails, or other communications, sent to a Reviewer inviting them to review a particular Media Asset stating that if they do not know the Member who sent the invite to them they are not permitted to review the Media Asset or comment on it, that they may not forward the link or Media Asset to any other person, and that they are responsible for the content of any comments that they make.  However, Wipster and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees and agents expressly exclude any liability including but not limited to liability for breach of confidentiality, defamation, for:

2.3.1  an invitation being sent to someone not intended to be a Reviewer as a result of an incorrect email address and/or other methods of contact for the Reviewer;

2.3.2 any comments made by any Reviewer whatsoever, including without limitation any comments that are or may be defamatory; or

2.3.3 any Reviewer forwarding the link and/or Media Asset to any other person.

2.4 As a Member you expressly acknowledge the above limitations and agree that you will take all necessary steps to ensure that you are satisfied that the people that you invite to review your Media Assets are advised accordingly and will comply with your directions. The exclusion of liability in this Section does not limit anything in Sections 12 and 13 of these Terms of Service.

3 Use of Website, APP and Services

3.1   Wipster grants you a limited and personal right to access and make use of the Services through the Website and if applicable, the APP.  This right does not include any resale of the Website, APP, their content or the Services or any derivative use of the Website, APP, their contents or the Services.  The Website, APP, the Services or any portion of the Website, APP or Services may not be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited for any commercial purpose without our express written consent.  You may not frame or utilize framing techniques to enclose any trademark, logo, or other proprietary information (including images, text, page layout, form or any of the Services) of Wipster and our affiliates without our express written consent.  Any unauthorized use terminates the rights granted by Wipster.

3.2 If you upload any Media Assets that will cause you to breach the storage limit of the plan which you subscribe for (Storage Limit), then you must undertake corrective action as described in Section 10.

3.3 If your plan allows for multiple Team Members to access the Services via your account and you enable more Team Members (including yourself) to access your account than the allowable number specified in your plan (User Limit), then you must take corrective action as described in Section 10.   For the avoidance of doubt, a reference to Team Members in this clause does not include Reviewers.

3.4 You shall not:

3.4.1 unless you are on a specific plan for such use of our Services (as determined by us in our sole discretion), load long form videos including but not limited to film, movie or television content, or other large video files;

3.4.2 large or raw format image files; or

3.2.3 take any action that causes or may cause (as determined by us in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or large load on our (or our third party providers’) infrastructure or Services.  Wipster reserves the right to introduce specific size limits on Media Assets and as part of undertaking digital rights restrictions to ensure that these limits are adhered to as part of accessing and using the Services.

3.5 You may not modify, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble or create derivative works of the Services (or any part of them) or otherwise attempt to:

3.5.1 defeat, avoid, bypass, remove, deactivate or otherwise circumvent any software protection mechanisms in the Services (or any part of them), including, without limitation, any such mechanism (including the Website and/or APP) used to restrict or control the functionality of the Services (or any part of them); or

3.5.2 derive the source code or the underlying ideas, algorithms, structure or organization form of the Services (or any part of them).

4 Intellectual Property

4.1 Wipster does not claim any right to any of the trademarks, service marks, collective marks, design rights, personality rights, copyrighted material, or similar rights (Rights) that are mentioned, used or cited on our site or in any of the materials or information generated using the Services; other than any Rights actually owned by Wipster, all other Rights are the property of their respective owners.  Your use of the Services does not provide you with any license or other entitlement to the use of the Rights of Wipster, other than for the purpose of using the Services in accordance with these Terms of Service.

4.2 We believe that Wipster’s use of the Rights in connection with the Services is legitimate and in accordance with applicable law governing the use of intellectual property; however, if it is determined that Wipster’s use or your use of any Rights infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any other party, Wipster reserves the right to discontinue the availability of any Services which incorporate the use of such infringing Rights.

4.3 Wipster acknowledges that the content and any intellectual property of any Media Asset you upload and any comments made by Reviewers (Reviewer Comments) remain the property of you or, to the extent applicable, the relevant Reviewer(s).  However, each Member and each Reviewer grants to Wipster a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the contents of any Media Assets (or any part of any Media Asset); or any Reviewer Comments for the following purposes:

4.3.1 In accordance with these Terms of Service;

4.3.2 To develop the Services or any other product developed by Wipster;

4.3.3 To conduct market research;

4.3.4 To produce reports and summarise data which may be shared with Wipster members or a third party;

4.3.5 To invite Members or Reviewers to explore other Services available through Wipster or otherwise to generally promote Wipster and its services,

4.4 provided at all times that any use of such information shall be in accordance with Wipster’s Privacy Policy.  You represent and warrant that you own or have sufficient rights in all intellectual property in the Reviewer Comments, and that any use of the Reviewer Comments necessary to provide the Services (including doing any of the things listed above) will not infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party.

5 Links

5.1 Wipster’s Website, APP or Services may provide links to other World Wide Web sites or resources. Because Wipster has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that Wipster is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from such sites or resources.  You further acknowledge and agree that Wipster shall not be responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with the use of or reliance on any such content, goods or services available on or through any such site or resource.

6  Modifications to Services and Beta Services

6.1 Wipster reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify (including, without limitation, any modification or redesign of the organization, look, feel, navigation or other elements of the Services, Website or APP used to provide the Services, including the addition or deletion of content or screens for delivery of the Services) or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice.  You agree that Wipster shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services provided that if you have prepaid accounts fees for a period that you have not obtained the benefit of, we may (and will if legally be obliged to) refund any prepaid fees where the modification represents a substantial degradation of our Services.

6.2 From time to time, we may invite you to try Beta services at no charge. You may accept or decline any such trial in your sole discretion. Beta services will be clearly designated as such, for example as beta, pilot, limited release, preview, evaluation release or similar description. Beta services are:

6.2.1 or evaluation purposes only;

6.2.2 not to be considered as Services;

6.2.3 unsupported; and

6.2.4 not guaranteed of ultimate release as Services, or if released, may be subject to additional terms. Any Beta services trialed may be withdrawn by us at any time.  All Beta services should be treated on an “as is – where is” basis.

WIP APP Limited (Wipster), welcomes you as a user of the Wipster Services.  The Wipster Service provides a platform for you to share and review your work-in-progress videos, images and PDFs, subject to the following terms of service and the Privacy Policy, which may be updated at any time (together the Terms of Service). Any amendments to the Terms of Service will be posted on our Website and will be effective immediately upon such posting. You are responsible for ensuring you are familiar with our latest Terms of Service and your continued use of our Service will be deemed acceptance of any updates. Commonly used words in these Terms of Service are defined at the end, in Section 18.

1. Description of Services

1.1 Wipster provides a platform for content makers to share and review their work-in-progress Media Assets, as set out in more detail in this Section (Services).

1.2 You may sign up to use the Services by completing the application form on the Website or via Facebook or Google and providing Wipster with certain details.  You must complete all information requested accurately and truthfully.  Once you sign up to use the Services, Wipster will create an account for you and you will become a member (Member).

1.3 Once you are a Member you will be provided with a login and password to enable you to access the Services.  You agree not to share any of the information or resources provided as part of the Services with any other party except as specified in the Terms of Service, and you will not allow any person not employed by or affiliated with your business to use your log-in information and password to access the Services.  You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of log-in information and for restricting access to your computer, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account or password.

1.4 As a Member you will be entitled to use the Services as follows:

1.4.1 You can upload a Media Asset to the Website.  Any Media Asset uploaded will be encoded by Wipster into multiple formats to support various internet capable devices including desktop browsers, smartphones and tablets.

1.4.2 You will be able to invite a number of people to view the Media Asset (each called a Reviewer).  Wipster will send each Reviewer an individual link to the Media Asset which you wish to invite them to review which will enable the Reviewer to view the Media Asset and comment on that Media Asset.  The email sent to each Reviewer will identify you as the person who invited them to review the relevant Media Asset, brief details of the Media Asset and will enable you and Wipster to identify each Reviewer’s comments.  You will not input bulk Reviewers or use the invite function to send unsolicited emails (otherwise known as “spam”) to individuals or otherwise use the invite function to harass others.

1.4.3 Each Reviewer may comment and/or provide feedback on the particular Media Asset sent to them at any particular point in that Media Asset.  You will be advised when a comment has been made on your Media Asset and you will be able to view each comment and respond to it.

1.4.4 All Reviewers are able to see comments made on the Media Asset.

1.4.5 All Reviewer comments are collated into a “to do” list which will only be visible and available to the Member who posted the original Media Asset.

1.5 The Services may be modified, improved and/or varied by Wipster at any time and at Wipster’s sole discretion.  Any such modifications, improvements or variations will be advised to you from time to time.

1.6 The Services may also be made available to you through the APP for so long as Wipster makes its APP available, but subject to you complying with Section 17 and you having registered on the Website first.

1.7 The use of our Services is subject to a Fair Use Policy in respect of any features that not limited to a particular number, volume, amount or similar as part of that feature.

2. Members and Reviewers

2.1 Wipster will send invitations to review a particular Media Asset to each Reviewer you identify.  Wipster is not responsible for checking or verifying in any way the identity of contact details of any Reviewer.  As a Member, you have sole responsibility for the email addresses or other contact details for each Reviewer that you invite to view and comment on any of your Media Assets.

2.2 Because one of the major attractions of the Services is the ease of use, Wipster does not require any Reviewer to log in, use a password, or otherwise identify themselves before accessing the link to any Media Asset sent to them.  You expressly acknowledge this and agree to all invited Reviewers being able to access any of your Media Assets they are invited to review in this manner.

2.3 Wipster will include a disclaimer and warning in all emails, or other communications, sent to a Reviewer inviting them to review a particular Media Asset stating that if they do not know the Member who sent the invite to them they are not permitted to review the Media Asset or comment on it, that they may not forward the link or Media Asset to any other person, and that they are responsible for the content of any comments that they make.  However, Wipster and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, employees and agents expressly exclude any liability including but not limited to liability for breach of confidentiality, defamation, for:

2.3.1 an invitation being sent to someone not intended to be a Reviewer as a result of an incorrect email address and/or other methods of contact for the Reviewer;

2.3.2 any comments made by any Reviewer whatsoever, including without limitation any comments that are or may be defamatory; or

2.3.3 any Reviewer forwarding the link and/or Media Asset to any other person.

2.3.4 As a Member you expressly acknowledge the above limitations and agree that you will take all necessary steps to ensure that you are satisfied that the people that you invite to review your Media Assets are advised accordingly and will comply with your directions. The exclusion of liability in this Section does not limit anything in Sections 12 and 13 of these Terms of Service.

4.2 We believe that Wipster’s use of the Rights in connection with the Services is legitimate and in accordance with applicable law governing the use of intellectual property; however, if it is determined that Wipster’s use or your use of any Rights infringes upon the intellectual property rights of any other party, Wipster reserves the right to discontinue the availability of any Services which incorporate the use of such infringing Rights.

4.3 Wipster acknowledges that the content and any intellectual property of any Media Asset you upload and any comments made by Reviewers (Reviewer Comments) remain the property of you or, to the extent applicable, the relevant Reviewer(s).  However, each Member and each Reviewer grants to Wipster a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the contents of any Media Assets (or any part of any Media Asset); or any Reviewer Comments for the following purposes:

6. Modifications to Services and Beta Services

6.1 Wipster reserves the right at any time and from time to time to modify (including, without limitation, any modification or redesign of the organization, look, feel, navigation or other elements of the Services, Website or APP used to provide the Services, including the addition or deletion of content or screens for delivery of the Services) or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Services (or any part thereof) with or without notice.  You agree that Wipster shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Services provided that if you have prepaid accounts fees for a period that you have not obtained the benefit of, we may (and will if legally be obliged to) refund any prepaid fees where the modification represents a substantial degradation of our Services.

Wipster’s Privacy Policy

This Privacy Policy was last updated on 03 Nov 2022.

The updates made in this version of the Privacy Policy provide additional information about our use of YouTube API Services in support of the optional YouTube integration.

We wish you continued and happy Wipstering!

-----

This Privacy Policy is intended to provide you with transparent information about how we treat the personal information that we collect and process. Our protocols are based on the Information Privacy Principles in the New Zealand Privacy Act 1993 (Privacy Act), and for individuals based in the EU, the GDPR.

You should not access or use the Services or the Website unless you have accepted the Wipster Terms of Service (including this Privacy Policy).  

Capitalised terms not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given to them under Wipster’s Terms of Service.

UPDATES TO OUR PRIVACY POLICY

  • Wipster reserves the right to vary this policy at any time, effective immediately on posting on the Website.

  • We will notify, and explain to, our Members and Reviewers, any material changes to this Privacy Policy.

HOW WE COLLECT AND RECEIVE PERSONAL INFORMATION

Wipster collects personal information in the following ways:

  • When you complete an application form or otherwise provide details to become a Member (whether through the Website, or by signing up through Facebook or Google).

  • When you sign up to receive our newsletter.

  • When you select and invite a Reviewer.

  • When Members and/or Reviewers make use of any of the Services.

  • Via the use of cookies, local storage or tracking pixels on the Website or APP, as per the “Cookies” section below.

  • From third party sources as identified in the “sources of personal information’ section of this Privacy Policy.

Sources of personal information

Most of the personal information Wipster collects comes directly from the person who is the subject of the personal information (data subject).  However, Wipster may collect personal information about data subjects from other sources where we believe on reasonable grounds that:

  • the personal information is publicly available information;

  • the data subject has authorised the collection of their personal information from someone else (for example, when a Member invites a Reviewer to review Media Assets or where the source of the personal information has been notified by us to the data subject in this Privacy Policy or otherwise (including as specified in the section entitled “information collected by Wipster from other sources” below);

  • The collection from another source would not prejudice the data subject’s interests;

  • it is not reasonably practicable in the circumstances (for example, images of third parties submitted by Members through the Services); and

  • any other situation where the exceptions in section 6(2) of the Privacy Act may apply (or, in the case of EU subject, in accordance with and subject to Article 14 of the GDPR).

Information collected by Wipster from other sources:

  • Wipster may collect additional personal information about you (such as demographic information) from affiliates and third parties which we may use to supplement the information that we collect directly from you.  By utilising the Services and agreeing to this Privacy Policy, you are deemed to have authorised the collection and processing of such information by Wipster provided that such information is processed by Wipster strictly in accordance with this Privacy Policy.  

  • Email addresses (provided that Wipster is able to connect the email address to a natural person, otherwise such information will not be considered personal information).

  • Images of the third party (in any format) in any Media Assets created through the Services.  Wipster will only process images of third parties in connection with Members using the Services to create Media Assets.

  • Aggregated data on third parties’ interactions with any Media Assets created through the Services. Wipster will only use aggregated data on third parties’ interactions with Media Assets to deliver the “Pulse” feature of its Services.
