Terms: Permitted Use and Accountability
Open Video Project grants you a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right to access and view the publicly available informational content on this site for personal, educational, and non-commercial purposes. You must not use the site or its content in a manner that infringes the rights of others or violates applicable law. You may not republish, resell, or otherwise commercially exploit the primary video content, transcripts, or editorial materials without express written permission. When you link to the site or reference content, you must not imply endorsement by Open Video Project unless we provide explicit written permission. We expect users to act responsibly: attribution of sources when quoting or embedding content is appreciated and supports our transparency goals. We reserve the right to suspend, restrict, or refuse access to users who misuse content, attempt to bypass restrictions, or engage in disruptive behavior. We may remove user-contributed comments or feedback that contain hate speech, illegal content, or disallowed solicitations. Our editorial team maintains final control of content and corrections, and advertisers are not involved in editorial approvals. If you rely on any content for critical decisions you do so at your own risk; we recommend verifying primary sources as displayed and linked alongside the content where available.
Content, Advertising, and Non-Commercial Statement
Open Video Project is committed to editorial transparency and clear separation between content and advertising. Our videos are informational and freely accessible, and we explicitly do not provide financial, investment, or paid business services. When advertising appears it is intended solely to increase the discoverability of those informational materials. All promotional placements are clearly labeled so viewers can distinguish editorial content from promotional content. Sponsors and advertisers are required to adhere to our sponsor guidelines, which prevent influence over editorial decisions, research, scripting, or final publication. We do not accept advertisements for products or services that provide investment advice, unlicensed financial services, or business opportunities that could be construed as solicitations. Advertisements that are accepted are reviewed for factual accuracy, contextual relevance, and compliance with major advertising platform policies. Any conflicts of interest, funding summaries, or advertiser relationships can be requested via our contact channels for verification and compliance checks. We reserve the right to reject or remove advertising that could undermine editorial independence or mislead viewers.
Disclaimers, Limitation of Liability, and Governing Law
Content provided by Open Video Project is offered for general informational purposes only. While we strive for accuracy, we make no warranties, express or implied, about the completeness, reliability, or suitability of any content. We explicitly disclaim responsibility for any decision you make based on content on this site. Open Video Project and its contributors are not providing legal, financial, medical, or other professional advice through site content. To the extent permitted by law, Open Video Project and its affiliates, officers, contributors, and partners shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or punitive damages arising out of the use of, or inability to use, the content or services. Any dispute arising under or related to these Terms will be governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, USA, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Parties will first attempt to resolve disputes through good-faith negotiation and may pursue available legal remedies thereafter. If a court finds any provision of these Terms unenforceable it will be severed and the remaining provisions will remain in effect. These Terms may be updated from time to time; material changes will be posted with an updated effective date and notification where feasible.
