Version VA-AUTH-0.9-LEGAL-REVIEW · Last updated: 11 November 2026
Version for the final legal review. There is currently no online purchase on this website: requests through our forms are free and non-binding and do not create a contract.
1. Scope
These conditions apply in addition to our Terms to every analysis of videos, that is to “Analyse individual videos” and to an account analysis insofar as it includes the evaluation of picture or sound. In the event of conflict, these conditions take precedence over the Terms.
2. Submitting is not retrieving
Submitting a video link on its own does not lead to the video being retrieved, downloaded or analysed. At first we only store the link and review the request. An analysis only begins once a contract has been concluded (section 2 of the Terms) and the customer has approved the scope and price. There is no automatic evaluation merely because a link has been entered.
3. Customer authorisation
By submitting a video link and placing an analysis order, the customer confirms that they are entitled to commission the analysis and the processing of the content concerned that it requires, for example as the author or channel owner, with the consent of the rights holder or because the analysis is permitted for another reason.
4. Third-party content
Videos do not have to be free of third-party content. They may, for example, contain music, brands, logos, products, works of third parties or other people. We only evaluate such content within the scope of the order. We do not identify people, in particular not on the basis of biometric features. If a video shows other people, the customer ensures that the analysis is permitted in this respect too, for example by informing those involved.
5. Technical service providers
After approval we may use suitable technical service providers, for example to retrieve publicly accessible videos by permitted means, to evaluate picture, sound and text multimodally, or to transcribe or translate, insofar as this is permitted under the applicable data protection provisions and the agreed contractual terms. We do not bypass access barriers. The categories of these service providers are listed in our privacy notice.
6. No comprehensive rights check
There is no comprehensive check of the legal position; as a rule we do not check the customer’s authorisation separately. If there are concrete indications of missing authorisation, infringements or unlawful content, we may decline or suspend an analysis. The customer’s statutory claims remain unaffected.
7. Limits of the analysis
How meaningful the results are depends on the material, for example on picture and sound quality, length, language and availability. Evaluations may contain uncertainties, and AI-assisted statements may also contain errors. We indicate what a statement is based on (section 4 of the Terms). We give no guarantee of reach, sales or collaborations. An additional review by a person (human review) can be booked.
8. Storage and deletion
We only store video files that we retrieve for a commissioned analysis for as long as is necessary for the analysis and for clarifying queries. The dossier remains with the customer and with us in accordance with the rules of our privacy notice.
9. Confirmation and record
Before a video analysis, the customer confirms with a separate box that is not ticked in advance: “I confirm that I am entitled to commission this video analysis and accept the special conditions for video analyses.” Without this confirmation we do not accept a video analysis. As a record, we store the version of these conditions, the time (UTC) and the origin of the confirmation. Acknowledging the privacy notice is separate from this and is not consent.
