IndieNet is a 24/7 live broadcast network and creator economy platform for independent filmmakers, musicians, podcasters, and content creators. The platform includes:

• A live TV channel (Channel 1) broadcasting independent content 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
• An IndiShorts™ program for short films under 40 minutes
• An IndiFeatures™ program for full-length independent content
• Creator accounts with fan community tools, ticketing, and email marketing
• A content submission system for independent creators and businesses

IndieNet reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any aspect of the platform at any time with reasonable notice.

IndieNet's live broadcast channel is powered by Viloud, a third-party online video platform operated by Noise Media, S.L. (Alicante, Spain). The Viloud player is embedded on IndieNet's website to deliver 24/7 linear streaming to viewers.

Key points regarding the Viloud player:

• The player is an HTML5 embed that works on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices
• Stream quality is dependent on Viloud's infrastructure and your internet connection
• IndieNet is not liable for stream interruptions, buffering, or quality issues resulting from Viloud's service
• Depending on IndieNet's Viloud subscription tier, Viloud branding may appear on the player
• All content broadcast through IndieNet must comply with Viloud's content policies, which prohibit adult/explicit content and copyright infringing material

Creators who submit content to IndieNet for broadcast agree to the following:

• You own it or have rights to it. You must have full legal rights, licenses, and permissions for all content you submit — including video footage, music, artwork, and any third-party material included
• No third-party royalties. IndieNet must not be required to obtain licenses from or pay royalties to any third party in connection with your content
• You warrant it's original. By submitting, you represent that your content does not infringe any copyright, trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property rights of any third party
• IndiShorts™ submissions must be short films under 40 minutes. Trailers are not eligible — those are treated as advertisements
• IndiFeatures™ submissions include sitcoms, feature films, documentaries, animations, cartoons, podcasts, music & culture programming, sports radio, and AI-generated content
• A membership account is required to have content aired on IndieNet
• IndieNet reviews all submissions and reserves the right to decline any content at its discretion

The following content is strictly prohibited on IndieNet and will result in immediate removal and potential account termination:

These restrictions align with and are additionally governed by Viloud's content policies. Content violating either IndieNet's or Viloud's standards will be removed from broadcast.

Your content is yours. When you submit content to IndieNet, you retain full ownership of your intellectual property. Submitting content to IndieNet does not transfer ownership to us.

By submitting content, you grant IndieNet a non-exclusive, royalty-free license to broadcast, stream, display, and promote your content on the IndieNet platform and in connection with marketing IndieNet's services. This license ends when your content is removed from the platform.

IndieNet's intellectual property — including the IndieNet brand, logo, website design, IndieShorts™ and IndiFeatures™ trademarks, and all original content created by IndieNet — is owned by IndieNet and protected by applicable intellectual property laws. You may not use IndieNet's brand or trademarks without prior written permission.

Creator accounts on IndieNet operate in two modes:

• User/Subscriber: A standard account for fans and viewers who subscribe to IndieNet or individual creators
• Creator/Submitter: An upgraded account mode that allows creators to submit content, build a fan community, and access monetization tools

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials. IndieNet is not liable for any loss resulting from unauthorized access to your account due to your failure to keep credentials secure.

IndieNet reserves the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, at its sole discretion, with or without notice depending on the severity of the violation.

IndieNet operates on an 85/15 revenue split. Creators receive 85% of all revenue generated by their content on the platform — including subscription revenue, ticket sales, licensing fees, and ad revenue attributable to their content. IndieNet retains 15% to operate the network and platform.

Payment terms, schedules, and minimum thresholds will be detailed in individual creator agreements. IndieNet reserves the right to adjust revenue terms with reasonable advance notice to creators.

IndieNet is not responsible for revenue losses resulting from platform downtime, third-party service interruptions (including Viloud), or acts outside of IndieNet's reasonable control.

IndieNet reserves the right to remove any content from broadcast at any time if it violates these Terms, Viloud's platform policies, or applicable law. We will make reasonable efforts to notify affected creators of removals.

Accounts may be suspended or terminated for:
