Terms of Service

🤝1. Agreement to these Terms

These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding legal agreement between you and Vidmoola (“Vidmoola,” “we,” “us” or “our”). They govern your use of vidmoola.com, the Vidmoola apps, games, challenges, Vidmoola Share, Vidmoola University, live gameshows and every related feature (together, the “Services”).

By accessing or using the Services, creating an account, playing a game, accepting a challenge, sending or receiving a Vidmoola Share, or funding or claiming a reward, you confirm that you have read, understood and agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, do not use the Services.

IMPORTANT: Section 18 contains a binding arbitration agreement and a class action waiver. It affects how disputes are resolved. Please read it carefully.

🪪2. Eligibility and accounts

• Age: you must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live, to create an account, fund or receive rewards, accept a challenge, or use camera features. Users aged 13 to 17 may use Vidmoola University and other features we designate only with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian, who agrees to these Terms on their behalf and is responsible for their use. The Services are not directed to children under 13, and children under 13 may only use the Services through an account a parent or guardian creates and controls.
• Accurate information: you agree to give true, accurate and complete information and keep it updated. You may be asked to verify your identity, age, location or payment details before you can send, receive or withdraw rewards.
• One account: one account per person. You are responsible for everything that happens under your account and for keeping your login details secure. Tell us immediately about any unauthorized use.
• Usernames: your Vidmoola @username lets others find you, send you a Vidmoola Share and see who sent a reward. You may not choose a username that impersonates another person, brand or organization, is offensive, or infringes anyone’s rights. We may reclaim, change or remove any username at any time.
• Where available: you may not use the Services if you are located in, or a resident of, a country or region subject to comprehensive sanctions, or if you are on any government sanctions or restricted-party list. Some features, rewards or payment methods may not be available in every country.

🎮3. How the Services work

• Games and prizes: games, drops, qualifiers and live gameshows are contests of skill based on watching video content, tapping on-screen elements and answering questions. Prizes are provided by Vidmoola or by third-party sponsors and are subject to any official rules shown for that game, which form part of these Terms. No purchase is necessary to enter or win any game.
• One attempt: unless a game says otherwise, each game allows one attempt per person. Results, scores, rankings and leaderboards are determined by our systems and are final.
• Prizes: prizes are non-transferable, have no cash value unless stated, and cannot be exchanged. We or the sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value. Prize codes and gift cards are subject to the issuer’s terms and expiry dates. You are responsible for all taxes on prizes and rewards.
• Void where prohibited: games, prizes and rewards are void where prohibited or restricted by law. We may limit, suspend or cancel any game in any jurisdiction.
• Fair play: we may disqualify you, cancel results, withhold prizes and rewards, and close your account if we believe you used bots, scripts, AI tools, multiple accounts, emulators, screen readers used to cheat, collusion, or any other unfair method.
• Demonstration content: some content in the Services, including example challenges between named or public figures, is for demonstration only, did not happen, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by the people or brands shown.

🎥4. Camera, microphone and recordings

• Your consent: some features ask for access to your device camera and microphone, including challenges, live gameshows and Vidmoola Shares whose terms require “camera on” or a reply video. You will be asked for permission first. By granting access and starting that feature, you consent to Vidmoola capturing, recording, storing and processing the video, audio and images of you (“Recordings”) for the purposes described in these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
• Challenges are public: when you accept a challenge, you agree that your Recording, including your live reaction, your face, voice, name, @username and answers, may be shown publicly on Vidmoola and on social media, and may be shared with the person who sent the challenge.
• Vidmoola Share proof: when a Share requires camera on or a reply video, your Recording is shared with the sender as proof, and the reward may be withheld if the Recording does not meet those terms.
• License to Recordings: you grant Vidmoola and its affiliates a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, edit, adapt, publish, distribute, publicly display and perform your Recordings and any name, likeness, voice and biographical information they contain, in any media now known or later developed, to operate, promote and improve the Services. For challenge Recordings, this license is perpetual and irrevocable. You waive any right to inspect or approve uses of your Recordings, and any claim for compensation, to the fullest extent permitted by law.
• Vidmoola Share Recordings: camera recordings and reply videos are sent to the sender, and Vidmoola may post them online, including in ads and marketing, with no payment to you. This license is perpetual and irrevocable. Vidmoola is not responsible for what the sender or anyone else does with a Recording after it is delivered.
• Other people: you must not record or show anyone else without their consent, and you must not use camera features in places where recording is not allowed. You are solely responsible for what appears in your Recordings.
• No guarantee: camera features depend on your device, browser and connection. If a Recording fails, is interrupted or does not meet the requirements, the attempt may not count.

🏦5. Rewards, payments and funds held by Vidmoola

• Funding in advance: anyone who offers a reward (a “Sender”), including a person sending a Vidmoola Share, a challenger, a parent funding Vidmoola University, or a sponsor, must pay the full reward amount to Vidmoola in advance (“Reward Funds”). A reward is only available once Vidmoola has received the Reward Funds in full and cleared them.
• Vidmoola holds the funds: Senders appoint Vidmoola as their limited agent to receive, hold and release Reward Funds under these Terms. Payments may be processed and held through third-party payment processors, custodians and crypto service providers. Reward Funds do not earn interest for you. Vidmoola is not a bank, and Reward Funds are not deposits and are not insured by any government deposit insurance scheme.
• Release: Reward Funds are released to the recipient only when they complete every condition attached to the reward (for example: watching the full video, passing the questions, keeping the camera on, sending a reply video, and finishing before the deadline), as determined by Vidmoola’s systems. Our determination is final.
• Return to Sender: if the recipient fails, declines, does not finish before the deadline, or the reward is cancelled, the Reward Funds are returned to the Sender’s Vidmoola balance or original payment method, less any non-refundable fees and network or processing costs shown at the time of funding. Once a reward is released to a recipient, it cannot be reversed by the Sender.
• Service fee: Vidmoola charges a 9.9% service fee on every reward paid through Vidmoola Share, Vidmoola University, video packs and challenges. It is deducted from the reward the recipient receives.
• Top-ups (adding money): free, from a minimum of $10. All balances are kept in US dollars.
• Withdrawals: every withdrawal costs 5% of the amount plus $0.30, with a minimum fee of $1. The minimum withdrawal is $10. Crypto withdrawals also include the blockchain network fee. The exact fee is always shown before you confirm.
• Foreign cards and currency: all amounts are charged in US dollars. If your card or account uses another currency, any conversion or international fee from your bank, card issuer or payment provider is paid by you.
• Other fees: fees are shown before you confirm and are non-refundable unless the law requires otherwise. We may change our fees by updating these Terms. A change never applies to a transaction you already confirmed.
• Payment methods: you can add money and withdraw with Apple Pay, Google Pay, Visa or Mastercard debit and credit cards, PayPal, Venmo, USDT, Bitcoin and other methods we support. Methods may vary by country. We do not accept American Express. Top-ups and withdrawals are instant once your account is verified. PayPal, Venmo and card payments are also subject to the provider’s own terms.
• Gift cards: brands and sponsors may offer gift card codes as prizes in their own campaigns, and you can win and keep those codes. Gift cards cannot be used to add money, and your Vidmoola balance (US dollars or crypto) cannot be converted into gift cards or withdrawn as gift cards.
• Same-method rule: money you add with a card, Apple Pay, Google Pay, PayPal or Venmo can only be withdrawn back to a card, PayPal or Venmo account in your name. It can be withdrawn as crypto only after it has been used for rewards. Money you add as crypto is withdrawn as crypto.
• Your payment methods only: you may only use cards, wallets and accounts that are in your own name. You may not use anyone else’s payment method, a stolen or unauthorised one, or move money for anyone else.
• New accounts: new and unverified accounts have lower daily top-up and withdrawal limits for their first days. The limits are shown in the Money tab and go up once your identity is verified.
• Crypto risks: digital assets are volatile and their value can fall to zero. Crypto transactions are irreversible. You are solely responsible for giving a correct wallet address and network; we are not liable for losses caused by an incorrect address, unsupported network, wallet compromise, blockchain delays, forks or network fees.
• Fraud and money-laundering checks: to meet anti-money laundering, counter-terrorist financing, sanctions and fraud rules, we:
  • verify your identity before your first withdrawal and again at higher amounts;
  • check every account against sanctions and restricted-party lists;
  • check that cards and accounts are in your name and have not been reported lost or stolen;
  • watch for unusual activity, such as adding money and withdrawing it without using it for rewards, many accounts on one device, or many small payments from different cards;
  • limit one account per person.
  We may delay, freeze, hold, refuse, cancel or reverse any top-up, reward or withdrawal, close accounts, and report activity to the authorities, without liability to you.
• Chargebacks and disputes: if you reverse a payment or file a chargeback or dispute instead of contacting us, we charge a $20 dispute fee and take back the disputed amount from your balance, from any rewards it funded and from any Introducer earnings it created. If your balance is not enough, the amount you owe stays on your account and must be repaid before you can use the Services again. We may suspend the accounts involved.
• Taxes: you are responsible for reporting and paying any taxes on rewards and prizes you send or receive. We may collect tax information and issue tax forms where required.
• Inactivity fee: if your account has no activity for 12 months (no log in, top-up, reward, Share or withdrawal), we may charge an inactivity fee of $1 per month, where the law allows. We will notify you at least 30 days before the first fee. The fee stops as soon as you use your account again or your balance reaches $0, and it never takes your balance below $0.
• Unclaimed funds: balances that stay unclaimed may also be handled under applicable unclaimed-property laws.

📤6. Vidmoola Share and challenges

• Your link, your responsibility: when you submit a YouTube or other video link, you confirm you have the right to share it, and that it does not break the law, the platform’s terms or anyone’s rights. Vidmoola automatically turns it into a game with GIFs and questions; we may refuse or remove any link.
• No harassment: you must not use Shares or challenges to harass, threaten, bully, defame, extort or embarrass anyone, to send sexual, violent, hateful or illegal content, or to pressure anyone into being recorded.
• Accepting is optional: recipients are never required to accept a Share or challenge. Accepting means agreeing to its stated terms, including any camera or reply-video requirement.
• Locked until opened: a challenge video can only be opened by the person challenged while the deadline is running. Others are notified but cannot open it. When the person challenged opens it, their camera goes live and others can watch their reaction and answers in real time.
• Unlocked for everyone: when the person challenged passes or fails, or the deadline passes, the challenge video is unlocked and may be shown publicly. Challengers confirm they have the right to make it public.
• Public challenges: challenges may be posted publicly. Challengers are solely responsible for what they write and post about the person they challenge.

💸7. Vidmoola Money: Introducer Program

The Introducer Program pays you a share of Vidmoola’s fee when people you introduce use Vidmoola. To keep it, you must stay active. The rules are below.

• Becoming an Introducer: you become someone’s Introducer when they pass and get paid for a Vidmoola Share, Vidmoola University pack or challenge that you sent, and it is the first one they have ever passed and been paid for. A person can have only one Introducer. People who already have an Introducer cannot be locked in again.
• What you earn: Vidmoola currently charges a 9.9% service fee on rewards paid through Vidmoola Share, Vidmoola University, video packs and challenges. The fee is deducted from the reward the person receives. You earn 25% of that service fee (currently 2.475% of the reward) on every reward paid to people you introduced, for as long as your agreement stays active.
• Only the service fee is shared: your 25% is calculated on the 9.9% service fee only. Top-up, withdrawal, network, dispute and inactivity fees pay for payment processing and protection, and are not shared. Example: Ben receives a $100 reward, Vidmoola’s service fee is $9.90, and you earn $2.475. If Ben later withdraws and pays a withdrawal fee, that fee is not shared.
• Final rewards only: you earn only on rewards that are final. If the money behind a reward is reversed by a chargeback, dispute or fraud check, the earnings it created are reversed too.
• How you’re paid: earnings are added to your Vidmoola balance in the same currency as the reward (for example, USD earns USD, USDT earns USDT). Withdrawing them follows the normal withdrawal rules and fees in Section 5. Product prizes, gift items and game prizes do not earn anything. You need a Vidmoola account to receive earnings.
• Claiming: earnings collect in the Money tab as “unclaimed.” They become yours only when you log in and tap Claim. Claimed earnings move to your Vidmoola balance and are never taken back, except for fraud or chargebacks under Section 5.
• 6-month claim rule: you must log in and claim your earnings at least once in every 6 months, counted from the day you became an Introducer or from your last claim, whichever is later. If 6 months pass with no claim, all your unclaimed earnings are forfeited and your Introducer agreement ends, to the extent the law allows.
• 6-month Share rule: you must send at least 1 Vidmoola Share in every 6 months, counted from the day you became an Introducer or from your last Share sent, whichever is later. The Share must be funded, but it does not have to be passed. If 6 months pass with no Share sent, your Introducer agreement ends. Earnings you already claimed stay yours.
• When an agreement ends: it ends for everyone you introduced, permanently. You stop earning from them, they are not reassigned to anyone else, and the agreement cannot be restarted. Your account, balance and claimed earnings are not affected, and you can still become the Introducer of new people who have never been locked in.
• Reminders: we will try to remind you in the app and by email 30 days and 7 days before either deadline. Missing a reminder does not extend the deadline. Your deadlines are always shown in the Money tab.
• Fair play: introducing yourself, using multiple or fake accounts, sending Shares to yourself, or any other abuse ends your agreement and forfeits unclaimed earnings. We may hold earnings while we investigate.
• Not employment: Introducers are not employees, agents or partners of Vidmoola, and cannot make promises on our behalf. You are responsible for any taxes on your earnings.
• Your 25% is guaranteed: Vidmoola’s fee may go up or down over time. Your share never changes: you always earn 25% of whatever service fee Vidmoola actually collects on rewards paid to the people you introduced. We will never lower your 25% share.
• If the program changes or ends: we may stop accepting new Introducers or end the Introducer Program by posting updated Terms. If we do, every Introducer whose agreement is active on that date is grandfathered. You keep earning 25% of Vidmoola’s fee from everyone you already introduced, for as long as you keep meeting the 6-month claim and Share rules. Changes never affect earnings you already claimed.

📺8. Live gameshows, stunts and judging

• Official rules: each live gameshow shows its own official rules, including the questions, timers, points, judging, finals, prizes, eligibility and dates. Those rules form part of these Terms and control if they conflict with this section.
• Points: correct answers earn points. Hard mode may award more points (for example, double points) with less time to answer. A wrong answer, running out of time or leaving ends your run, and you cannot replay that show.
• Judged stunts: on-camera stunts are scored by judges chosen by Vidmoola on criteria such as creativity, humor, effort and how well the stunt follows the instructions. Judging is subjective, and the judges’ decisions are final.
• Finals: the players with the most points advance to the final. The number of finalists and how ties are broken are set out in the official rules.
• Prizes: prize values shown are approximate retail values. Winners may have to verify their identity, age and eligibility and sign an affidavit, a liability release and a publicity release before receiving a prize. Vehicles, travel and experiences are subject to availability, licensing, insurance and the provider’s terms, and may not be transferable. All taxes, fees and costs not expressly included are the winner’s responsibility. We or the sponsor may substitute a prize of equal or greater value, or offer a cash alternative where the law allows.
• Safety first: every stunt is optional. Never do anything dangerous or illegal, or anything that could hurt, scare, harass or upset another person. Never enter anyone’s property, touch anyone, or record anyone without their clear permission, and follow the rules of any public place you are in. You take part entirely at your own risk.
• Disqualification: we may refuse to score, remove or disqualify any stunt or player that we believe is unsafe, offensive, involves someone who did not agree to take part, or breaks the law or these Terms.
• Release: to the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Vidmoola, its sponsors, judges and partners from any claims for injury, loss or damage arising from your taking part in a live gameshow or performing a stunt.
• Demo content: live gameshows currently shown in the Vidmoola beta are demonstrations only. They are not real competitions, no prizes are awarded, and they are not affiliated with or endorsed by any creator, celebrity or brand named in them. No real prizes are awarded until official rules for that show are published.

✍️9. Your content

• Ownership: you keep ownership of content you submit (“User Content”), including Recordings. You grant Vidmoola the license described in Section 4 for Recordings and a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicensable license to use all other User Content to operate, promote and improve the Services.
• Your promises: you confirm you own or have all rights needed for your User Content, and that it does not infringe or violate anyone’s rights or any law.
• Uploaded videos: when you record or upload a video, you confirm you are not knowingly uploading anything illegal, or any copyrighted material you don’t own or don’t have permission to use (for example movies, TV shows, music videos or other people’s videos).
• Safety checks: uploaded videos are checked automatically for harmful content before they can be shared. Videos that fail are blocked, and illegal content involving children is reported to the authorities.
• Your responsibility: if you upload content you don’t have the rights to, you are responsible for any claims, costs and losses that result (see Section 16, Indemnity), the video will be removed, and your account may be closed.
• Moderation: we may review, edit, remove or refuse any User Content at any time for any reason, but we are not obliged to monitor it.

🚫10. Prohibited conduct

• Breaking any law or regulation, including money laundering, fraud, sanctions and gambling laws.
• Knowingly uploading illegal content, or copyrighted material you don’t own or don’t have permission to use.
• Using the Services to move funds for anyone else, or for any purpose other than genuine rewards for watching and passing videos.
• Cheating, automating gameplay, scraping, reverse engineering, or interfering with the Services or their security.
• Impersonating anyone, or misrepresenting your identity, age or location.
• Uploading malware or anything harmful.
• Recording or sharing anyone without their consent.
• Using the Services if you are under the required age without parent or guardian permission.

©️11. Our intellectual property

The Services, including our software, games, design, text, graphics, logos and the Vidmoola name, are owned by Vidmoola or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Services for your personal use under these Terms. You may not copy, sell, modify or exploit any part of the Services without our written permission. Third-party videos, brands and trademarks belong to their owners.

📮12. Copyright complaints

If you believe content on the Services infringes your copyright, contact our Copyright Agent (show email address) with: your contact details; the work you claim is infringed; the content and where it appears; a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized; a statement, under penalty of perjury, that your notice is accurate and you are authorized to act; and your signature. We may remove content and terminate repeat infringers.

🔗13. Third-party services and sponsors

The Services may include videos, links, prizes, payment services and offers from third parties, including YouTube, sponsors, gift card issuers, PayPal and crypto providers. We do not control and are not responsible for them, and your use of them is governed by their own terms. Sponsors are solely responsible for the prizes they provide.

⚠️14. Disclaimers

THE SERVICES, GAMES, PRIZES AND REWARDS ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE,” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. We do not warrant that the Services will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free or available in your location, that any content or educational material is accurate, or that you will win any game or reward. Educational content is for general information only and is not professional advice, including safety, medical, legal or financial advice.

🧱15. Limitation of liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, VIDMOOLA AND ITS OWNERS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SPONSORS AND PARTNERS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, DIGITAL ASSETS, GOODWILL OR REPUTATION, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THE SERVICES, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBILITY. OUR TOTAL LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE FEES YOU PAID TO VIDMOOLA IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM, OR (B) US$100. This does not limit Reward Funds owed to you or the Sender under Section 5, or any liability that cannot be limited by law.

🛡️16. Indemnity

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Vidmoola and its owners, officers, employees, agents, sponsors and partners from any claims, losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your use of the Services, your User Content and Recordings, any Share or challenge you send or accept, your violation of these Terms, or your violation of any law or anyone’s rights.

⛔17. Suspension and termination

We may suspend or terminate your access, or any feature, at any time, with or without notice, if we believe you broke these Terms or the law, created risk or possible legal exposure for us, or for any other reason. We may hold any balance or Reward Funds connected to suspected fraud or illegal activity for as long as needed to investigate. Sections that by their nature should survive termination will survive, including Sections 4, 5, 7, 8 and 13 to 19.

⚖️18. Disputes, arbitration and class action waiver

• Talk to us first: before filing a claim, you agree to contact us through our contact form and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days.
• Binding arbitration: except as stated below, any dispute arising from or relating to these Terms or the Services will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (or, for users outside the United States, the International Centre for Dispute Resolution), in English, seated in Ingham County, Michigan, or by video conference. The arbitrator may award relief only to the individual party seeking it.
• Class action waiver: you and Vidmoola agree to bring claims only in an individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any class, collective, consolidated or representative proceeding. You and Vidmoola waive the right to a jury trial.
• Exceptions: either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for misuse of intellectual property.
• Opt out: you may opt out of this arbitration agreement by contacting us within 30 days after you first accept these Terms, stating your name, @username and that you opt out of arbitration.
• Time limit: any claim must be brought within one year after it arose, or it is permanently barred, to the extent the law allows.

🏛️19. Governing law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, USA, and applicable US federal law (including the Federal Arbitration Act), without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Subject to Section 18, the state and federal courts located in Ingham County, Michigan have exclusive jurisdiction, and you consent to them. If you are a consumer in the European Union, United Kingdom or another country whose laws give you mandatory rights that cannot be waived by contract, nothing in these Terms takes those rights away.

📎20. General terms

• Changes: we may update these Terms at any time by posting the new version with a new “last updated” date. Continuing to use the Services after that means you accept the updated Terms.
• Electronic communications: you consent to receive notices, agreements and disclosures electronically.
• Assignment: you may not transfer your rights under these Terms. We may assign ours freely, including in a merger or sale.
• Force majeure: we are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control, including outages of networks, blockchains, payment providers or platforms.
• Severability and waiver: if any part of these Terms is unenforceable, the rest stays in effect. Our failure to enforce a right is not a waiver.
• Entire agreement: these Terms, the Privacy Policy and any game rules or feature terms shown in the Services are the entire agreement between you and Vidmoola. If these Terms are translated, the English version controls.
