CLIENT will be provided with an online interface via the CLIENT HQ, enabling CLIENT to track its monthly CLIENT Revenues, if any, and access statistics related to its Accounts, including CLIENT Master Account and CLIENT Sub-Accounts. The CLIENT HQ accessible from each CLIENT Sub-Account will include only the data and figures related to the use of features specific to that Sub-Account and its hosted Content. However, the CLIENT HQ accessible from the CLIENT Master Account will aggregate data and figures from all CLIENT Accounts owned by CLIENT.
Furthermore, if CLIENT subscribes to a paid DAILYMOTION PRO Service, it is agreed that the calculation of the number of Users, the number of Accounts, the number of Plays, the GBs of Hosting, the GBs of Bandwidth, the minutes of Encoding, and all other relevant statistics shall be conducted solely according to DAILYMOTION’s data and measurement tools. CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that DAILYMOTION’s data shall be the sole measurement used for any reporting and invoicing purposes under this Agreement.
The conclusive account statements available within 60 (sixty) days from the end of each month within the CLIENT HQ of the CLIENT Master Account (the “Statement Availability Date”) shall be the definitive basis for billing and payment of CLIENT Revenues for the previous months. CLIENT agrees that such account statements and payments shall be deemed final and conclusive unless disputed in writing within 15 (fifteen) days of the relevant Statement Availability Date.
5.2 Invoicing
5.2.1. For payments made by DAILYMOTION to CLIENT (if any):
Payment Setup
CLIENT must register their bank account and billing details directly through Dailymotion Studio via the designated payment setup module. Failure to provide complete and accurate banking information may delay or prevent payment processing. CLIENT is responsible for keeping their payment information up to date.
Certain payment methods and/or currencies may be subject to transaction fees. Applicable fees will be displayed to CLIENT prior to confirmation and will be deducted directly from the amount owed. Transaction fees are charged on a per-transaction basis.
Statements
Dailymotion will issue a statement within thirty-five (35) days after the end of the month to CLIENT reflecting amounts earned during the relevant month. No statement will be generated until the total amount owed to CLIENT is at least $100 (one hundred US Dollars). Amounts below this threshold shall be carried forward to subsequent months until the threshold is met. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon termination of the Agreement, any amounts owed to CLIENT that remain below the $100 threshold will be paid out regardless of the minimum threshold.
Invoicing
To receive payment, CLIENT must submit one (1) invoice per statement within fifteen (15) days of the statement being made available in Dailymotion Studio. Invoices must be submitted as follows:

The Fees and any applicable Overage Charges shall be invoiced according to the following schedule, unless specified otherwise in the Order Form:
| Type of Fees | Invoicing Schedule |

| Onboarding Fees | If agreed upon at the start of the Initial Term or Renewal Term: upon the later of: (i) the start date of the Initial Term or Renewal Term and (ii) the last signature of the Agreement. If added after the commencement of the then-current term: invoiced in full at the end of the month in which such Onboarding Fees were added, prorated according to the date of addition. |

As a prerequisite for DAILYMOTION to generate the corresponding invoices, CLIENT shall promptly provide any relevant information requested by DAILYMOTION for invoicing purposes. DAILYMOTION shall send CLIENT a form to complete for this purpose.

5.3 Payment
5.3.1. For payments made by CLIENT to DAILYMOTION (if any)
CLIENT agrees to timely pay all Fees within 30 (thirty) days from the date of CLIENT’s receipt of the corresponding invoice sent by DAILYMOTION. DAILYMOTION reserves the right to withhold or suspend CLIENT’s access to the DAILYMOTION PRO Service and/or the Video Player, in addition to any other rights DAILYMOTION may have, if the Fees are not timely paid and/or until the Fees have been paid for the applicable period. Such suspension shall not affect CLIENT’s duty to pay all Fees due or constitute termination of this Agreement absent DAILYMOTION’s notice of termination pursuant to the Termination section hereof.
Past-due Fees shall incur interest at a rate amounting to three times the annual legal interest rate in force in France. CLIENT shall be liable to, and fully reimburse, DAILYMOTION for all costs (including attorney’s fees) incurred in connection with DAILYMOTION’s collection of past-due Fees.
All Fees are non-refundable except as otherwise provided in this Agreement. CLIENT shall be responsible for paying all Taxes (except DAILYMOTION’s corporate taxes) and all other charges (including, without limitation, currency exchange settlements) due in connection with the Fees and CLIENT’s use of the Video Player. All payments shall be made without deduction for withholding taxes.
5.3.2. For payments made by DAILYMOTION to CLIENT (if any)
All payments by DAILYMOTION shall be made within sixty (60) days of receipt of a valid invoice from CLIENT. Invoices that do not meet the applicable requirements will not be processed until a compliant submission is received. The sixty (60)-day period will run from the date of receipt of the compliant submission. Payments shall be made in US Dollars unless another currency is chosen by CLIENT amongst the currencies proposed through the Payment Platform. CLIENT understands that if any amount is due by CLIENT to DAILYMOTION under the present Agreement, DAILYMOTION may set it off against (i.e. deduct it from) the CLIENT Revenues.
DAILYMOTION selects at its own discretion the payment platform (the “Payment Platform”, currently Tipalti) made available for the processing of payments under the DAILYMOTION PRO Service, and may update or replace the Payment Platform from time to time. In order to receive payment through the Payment Platform, CLIENT will be required to accept the terms and conditions of the Payment Platform, it being agreed that DAILYMOTION will not have any liability regarding the breach of those terms and conditions by CLIENT or by the Payment Platform. DAILYMOTION grants the same guarantees as those respectively received from the applicable Payment Platform. In order to limit the risk of erroneous invoicing data as required by applicable tax regulations, and in conformity with the Payment Platform terms of use, DAILYMOTION may use the payee identification data (e.g. payee’s name, payee’s address) declared by CLIENT to the Payment Platform for the purpose of payment to CLIENT under the present Agreement. CLIENT understands that DAILYMOTION does not retain the bank account information provided by CLIENT through the Payment Platform. Provided that CLIENT does not offer proof to the contrary, the records of the applicable Payment Platform shall be considered proof of payments made between CLIENT and DAILYMOTION. The archiving of these items is performed in a reliable and sustainable manner to reflect a true and lasting copy in accordance with Article 1379 of the French Civil Code.
CLIENT agrees that DAILYMOTION may, from time to time and upon request by the Payment Platform, provide the Payment Platform with any and/or all information DAILYMOTION holds on CLIENT, including any personal data, in accordance with the terms of use of the Payment Platform. It is also agreed that the Payment Platform may directly contact CLIENT and/or suspend a payment in process for any of the reasons stipulated in the Payment Platform’s terms and conditions, including notably for any good faith suspicion of illicit activity or any information missing to perform the payment properly. It is agreed that DAILYMOTION shall not be held responsible for any such activity by the Payment Platform.
IN A GENERAL MANNER, CLIENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT DAILYMOTION SHALL NOT BE HELD LIABLE FOR ANY ACTION, ERROR OR OMISSION PERFORMED BY CLIENT WHEN USING THE PAYMENT PLATFORM, NOR FOR ANY ACTION, ERROR OR OMISSION PERFORMED BY THE PAYMENT PLATFORM.
For the avoidance of doubt, payments shall not be made to the benefit of any other person or entity other than CLIENT. Furthermore, CLIENT agrees that payments shall only be made to a Payment Platform account bearing the same name as that of CLIENT.
It is agreed that certain amounts may be deducted by DAILYMOTION from the CLIENT Revenues which correspond to (i) taxes, levies or other charges from the local authorities of any country as relevant, and/or (ii) transaction fees applicable to CLIENT’s selected payment method or currency, as displayed to CLIENT prior to confirmation. CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that any fees charged by CLIENT’s own banking institution in order for CLIENT to receive the CLIENT Revenues shall be borne by CLIENT.
In accordance with applicable law, and in particular Article L.110-4 of the French Commercial Code, any right to claim amounts owed under this Agreement shall prescribe after five (5) years from the date on which such amounts became payable. CLIENT is responsible for submitting timely invoices to avoid forfeiture of amounts owed.
5.4 Fees & Overage Charges (if applicable)
If CLIENT has subscribed to a paid DM PRO Offering, in consideration of the provision of the DM PRO Offering and the premium support and services being provided to the CLIENT under this service, CLIENT shall pay to DAILYMOTION the Subscription Fees, Onboarding Fees (if any), Professional Services Fees (if any) as prescribed in the Order Form or as may be added through mutually signed written amendment during the Term (collectively, the “Fees”). All Fees are indicated net of applicable taxes.
In the event that Client adds any Professional Services during the Term, the fees for such services as stipulated in the Order Form: Professional Services Fee, shall be added to the total Fees owed by the CLIENT and will be invoiced by DAILYMOTION as stipulated above.
If CLIENT, during the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, exceeds any of the limits stipulated in the Order Form’s Appendix A: Subscription Level Appendix, CLIENT shall pay the Overage Charges set forth in the same Exhibit A, and will be invoiced by DAILYMOTION as stipulated above. All Overage Charges are indicated net of applicable taxes.
5.5 Renewal Term Fees (if applicable)
DAILYMOTION reserves the right to change all prices, including the Fees and Overage Charges, after the Initial Term, provided that DAILYMOTION will provide the CLIENT with notice and that such changes shall not take effect until the start of CLIENT’s next Renewal Term.
DAILYMOTION will inform the CLIENT of any substantial changes in DAILYMOTION’s prices for any subsequent Renewal Term by written notice no later than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of the previous term.
In the event the Agreement is automatically renewed after the Initial Term, DAILYMOTION reserves the right to adjust the Fees and Overage Charges prior to the start date of a Renewal Term in accordance with the Syntec index based on the latest indexes published as of the start date of the Renewal Term in question and following this formula:
P= Po x (S/So)
Where:
- Po = the Fees/Overage Charges indicated in the Agreement;
- So = most recent Syntec index known at the Initial Term Start Date;
- S = most recent Syntec index known and issued at the start date of the Renewal Term in question;
- P = new Fees/Overage Charges for the Renewal Term in question;
5.6 Withholding Tax
CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that a withholding tax may be applied on the amounts paid by DAILYMOTION to CLIENT in the scope of the Agreement. In this regard, it is the CLIENT’s responsibility to provide DAILYMOTION with a relevant certificate certified by CLIENT’s home-country authorities, as soon as possible after its registration to the DAILYMOTION PRO Service to benefit from any exemption or reduction.
- TERMINATION
The termination rights and notice periods set forth in this Section shall apply depending on the DM Pro Offering selected by Client in the Order Form. For Clients with multiple DM Pro Offerings, multiple termination dates may apply depending on the different DM Pro Offerings selected and the termination conditions associated with each.

Without prejudice to any of its obligations in this Agreement, DAILYMOTION, its Affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, vendors, and suppliers (the “DAILYMOTION Parties”) disclaim all warranties of any kind, either expressed or implied, including but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permissible under applicable Law. The DAILYMOTION Parties make no warranty or representation that the DAILYMOTION PRO Service, in whole or in part, will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, provided that the DAILYMOTION Site will generally be available 24 (twenty-four) hours a day 7 (seven) days a week, except during any scheduled or unscheduled interruptions for maintenance needs or cases of Force Majeure.
Nothing in the Agreement shall exclude or limit DAILYMOTION’s liability for losses which may not be lawfully excluded or limited by applicable Law. Subject to this overall provision, DAILYMOTION shall not be liable for: (a) any indirect, incidental, or consequential losses which may be incurred by CLIENT. This shall include (i) any loss of profit (whether incurred directly or indirectly); (ii) any loss of goodwill or business reputation; (iii) any loss of opportunity; or (iv) any loss of data suffered; (b) any loss or damage which may be incurred as a result of (i) any reliance placed by CLIENT on the completeness, accuracy, or existence of any Advertising, or as a result of any relationship or transaction between CLIENT and any advertiser or sponsor whose advertising appears on the DAILYMOTION PRO Service; (ii) any changes which DAILYMOTION may make to the DAILYMOTION PRO Service, or for any permanent or temporary cessation in the provision of the DAILYMOTION PRO Service (or any features within the DAILYMOTION PRO Service); (iii) CLIENT’s failure to provide DAILYMOTION with accurate account information; or (iv) CLIENT’s failure to keep its password or CLIENT Account details secure and confidential.
CLIENT acknowledges and agrees that DAILYMOTION’s liability, if any, for damages caused to CLIENT by any breach of DAILYMOTION’s obligations or warranties under this Agreement shall be limited to monetary damages at law, and CLIENT waives any right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief. CLIENT’s remedies hereunder shall not exceed the total fees paid and/or payable for the applicable DAILYMOTION PRO Service for the full initial or renewal term in which the incident giving rise to the claim arose.
CLIENT is solely responsible for taking its own steps to back up its Content. CLIENT further acknowledges that DAILYMOTION is not liable for any deleted, lost, corrupted, or inaccessible Content, and CLIENT assumes all risks in relation to the management and storage of its Content.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, CLIENT hereby recognizes and confirms that in the event of any failure or omission by DAILYMOTION constituting a breach of any of DAILYMOTION’s obligations or warranties under this Agreement, the damages, if any, caused to CLIENT are not irreparable or sufficient to entitle CLIENT to injunctive or other equitable relief. Consequently, CLIENT’s rights and remedies hereunder shall be limited to the right, if any, to obtain monetary damages at law, and CLIENT shall not have any right to seek or obtain any injunction or other equitable relief.
Unless expressly stated otherwise in an applicable Order Form (and any applicable attachments) or elsewhere in this MSA, the DAILYMOTION PRO Service is provided on an “AS IS” and “as available” basis. DAILYMOTION reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify, enhance, remove, or replace features or functionalities of the DAILYMOTION PRO Service from time to time.
Such changes may be made to improve performance, address evolving technological standards, respond to user feedback, or comply with applicable law. However, DAILYMOTION agrees that it will not make changes that materially diminish the core functionality of the DAILYMOTION PRO Service as paid for by the CLIENT during the Term, unless such changes are required to address legal or security concerns, or to maintain the DAILYMOTION PRO Service’s integrity.
CLIENT acknowledges that non-material modifications to the DAILYMOTION PRO Service may occur as part of the natural evolution of the platform and does not require prior notice.
