Description of service

This service on video.football.co.uk is provided by Viddit Ltd on behalf of Football.co.uk & Underground Digital Media Ltd.
The Viddit Service allows you to browse and play videos that have been uploaded or linked to the site.  Additionally registered users (subscribers) may upload their own videos to Viddit, comment on existing videos and vote for them.

Your acceptance of these terms and conditions.

By use of the Viddit service (the "Service") in any manner, you certify that
(a) you are at least 18 years of age, or if you are under 18 years of age that you have your parent or legal guardian’s permission and consent to the use of the Service,
(b) you (or if you are under 18, your parent or guardian) expressly agree to be bound by these terms and conditions of service (these "Terms").  Your use of the Service is expressly conditioned upon the certifications listed above and your acceptance of these Terms.

If the certifications above are not true, or if you do not agree to any part of these Terms, you may not use the Service.  Viddit reserves the right to update and revise these Terms from time to time without notice to or acceptance by you.

A. Viddit hereby grants you permission to use the Website as set forth in this Terms of Service, provided that:
(i) your use of the Website as permitted is solely for your personal, non-commercial use;
(ii) you will not copy or distribute any part of the Website in any medium without Viddit’s prior written authorisation;
(iii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Website other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Website for its intended purpose;
(iv) you will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of these Terms of Service.

B. In order to access some features of the Website, you will have to create an account. You may never use another's account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. You must notify Viddit immediately of any breach of security or unauthorised use of your account.  Although Viddit will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorised use of your account, you may be liable for the losses of Viddit or others due to such unauthorised use.

C. You agree not to use or launch any automated system, including without limitation, "robots," "spiders," "offline readers," etc., that accesses the Website in a manner that sends more request messages to the Viddit or football.co.uk servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional online web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Viddit grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials.  Viddit reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases.

User Submissions

A.

Viddit does not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice expressed therein, and Viddit expressly disclaims any and all liability in connection with User Submissions.

Viddit also reserves the right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length. Viddit may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time, without prior notice and at its sole discretion.

D. In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification with the following information in writing:
(i) An electronic or physical signature (which may be a scanned copy) of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, which should include a description of the type of work (such as a film or a TV recording) and any relevant further details (such as the title and date of publication, as applicable);
