  1. DESCRIPTION OF THE WEBSITE

    Hmovs.com is an original free video hosting website which enables users to access, view, upload, share and comment on their personal videos. While users are allowed unlimited storage space (unless otherwise notified by e-mail), the size of each video is limited to 2 GB and 60 minutes for bandwidth cost control reasons. Since the Website is not designed to back up video data, you are responsible for taking all necessary precautions in that regard. Finally, and in accordance with Internet practice and custom, advertisements may be incorporated into the Website.

    If you have registered and have a Hmovs account pursuant to which you upload video files you create, including comments on videos, your nickname and your avatar (“Your Content”), Hmovs does not own Your Content. By making Your Content accessible to other users (as a body, or by individual group), you agree to allow any users of the Website free of charge and for personal use only, to view and transmit Your Content on or through the Website, on other electronic communication media or technology (e.g. smartphones, tablets, connected TV, game consoles), for the entire period in which Your Content is hosted on the Website. In addition, for the entire period in which your content is hosted and strictly by means of the features that enable the Website to be accessed via the Internet or through other electronic communication media or technology, you authorize us to reproduce/display Your Content and, as necessary, adjust its format for that purpose.
