Please read this Agreement carefully before accessing or using the BigMarker Services. By accessing or using the BigMarker Services, you agree to become bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, then you may not access the Website or use any Services.

In order to achieve a positive user experience, the following components are required to access all BigMarker Websites, Applications, and Services. To access BigMarker on an iOS or Android device, please look for our apps in the App Store, and review the terms and conditions of those applications.
If you create a BigMarker account, you are responsible for maintaining the security of your account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under the account and any other actions taken in connection with the BigMarker Services. If you create a channel on BigMarker, you are responsible for all activities that occur on your channel. If you host a webinar on BigMarker, you are responsible for all activities that occur in the webinar.
In both cases, you must not describe or assign keywords to your channel or webinar in a misleading or unlawful manner, including in a manner intended to trade on the name or reputation of others, and BigMarker may change or remove any description or keyword that it considers inappropriate or unlawful, or otherwise likely to cause BigMarker liability.
You must immediately notify BigMarker of any unauthorized uses of your account, channel, webinar or any other breaches of security. BigMarker will not be liable for any acts or omissions by you, including any damages of any kind incurred as a result of such acts or omissions.
If you participate in a channel or webinar, post material to the Website or Applications, post links on the Website or Applications, or otherwise make (or allow any third party to make) material available by means of the Website or Applications (any such material, “Content”), you are entirely responsible for the content of, and any harm resulting from, that Content. That is the case regardless of whether the Content in question constitutes text, graphics, an audio or video file, computer software, or any other form of media. By making Content available, you represent and warrant that:
Without limiting any of those representations or warranties, BigMarker has the right (though not the obligation) to, in BigMarker’s sole discretion (i) refuse or remove any content that, in BigMarker's reasonable opinion, violates any BigMarker policy or is in any way harmful or objectionable, or (ii) terminate or deny access to and use of the Websites to any individual or entity for any reason, in BigMarker's sole discretion. BigMarker will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid.
Channel Organizers (Administrators) also have the ability to remove subscribers from their channel at their own discretion. To do this, the Channel Organizer needs to go to Channel Settings > Subscribers, and then select the option to remove a subscriber.
When you create webinars using BigMarker, you own your content.
If you designate the privacy setting of a webinar to be public, then you still own your content, but you also grant BigMarker permission to make your webinar discoverable in public places such as BigMarker’s Discover Page and search engines such as Google. You also grant BigMarker a world-wide, royalty-free, and non-exclusive license to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content to promote BigMarker, BigMarker channels, and webinars.
In cases where the Content is private, BigMarker will make a reasonable effort to protect sensitive and confidential information. BigMarker will not under any circumstances reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content without your prior written permission.
If you delete Content, BigMarker will use reasonable efforts to remove it from the websites, but you acknowledge that caching or references to the Content may not be made immediately unavailable.
By opting in to record a webinar or participating in a webinar that is being recorded, you grant non-exclusive license to the webinar organizer (and BigMarker in the case of Public content) to reproduce, modify, adapt and publish the Content.
By opting in to share Content on third-party platforms and websites, using features including (but not limited to) the upload to YouTube tool, share on Facebook tool, or embed video tool, you grant non-exclusive license to publish the Content.
BigMarker may use public and private channels’ names and logos as client references, including a general description of the services provided by BigMarker, in its resumes, case studies, and in other promotional information including, but not limited to, press releases, brochures, reports, letters, white papers, and electronic media such as email or Web pages.

We will bill the monthly subscription fee to your Payment Method. You must cancel your subscription before it renews each month in order to avoid billing of the next month's membership fees to your Payment Method.
