In connection with this consent, and subject to its terms, I have agreed to release SimpliSafe from all claims and liabilities associated with its use of such Shared Video Content per the authorizations provided herein and arising from any related customer support services SimpliSafe provides hereunder. References to “I”, “you’ and “me” shall be understood to refer to the SimpliSafe customer accepting these terms.

Undefined capitalized terms used herein shall have the meaning ascribed to each in SimpliSafe’s Terms and Conditions.

License Grant to SimpliSafe to Use the Shared Video Content: I hereby grant SimpliSafe and its licensees an unlimited, irrevocable, fully paid and royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide right and license to use, re-use, distribute, store, delete, translate, copy, modify, conduct testing, perform analysis and evaluation of SimpliSafe Product(s) and Services, and otherwise use any such Shared Video Content to provide customer support and recommendations to assist customers (and to review any such Shared Video Content with SimpliSafe employees and representatives for these authorized purposes).

Consideration for SimpliSafe’s Selection of Your Shared Video Content for Promotional Use: In the event SimpliSafe uses your Shared Video Content for any public-facing promotional use (e.g. advertisement, social media post, post on public-facing website, etc.) you shall be awarded two free months of professional monitoring services (awarded in the months immediately following such use by SimpliSafe), and accept this as payment in full for such use.
This consideration represents SimpliSafe’s payment in full for such rights and permissions herein provided, and I understand and agree that SimpliSafe shall have no further obligation to make any additional payments of any kind and no reporting or accounting regarding the use of the Shared Video Content by SimpliSafe is required. If you cease being a SimpliSafe customer at the time such free months of monitoring services are to be awarded, no additional consideration shall be due. Solely to the extent required under applicable law, in the event such consideration is not deemed adequate, SimpliSafe may substitute the then-current value of two months of monitoring service as payment for such consideration.
