Video Submission Policy

Epic Fails (“we,” “us,” “our,” or “ourselves” whether in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination) welcomes video submissions from users of the Site (“you,” or “your” whether in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination) through the Epic Fails Video Submission Form (“Form”), which is located on our official website, EpicFails.TV (“Site”).


We define “video” whether in uppercase, lowercase, or a combination, as any and all media you submit through the Form, including, without limitation, the recording and display of moving visual media and any name, image, likeness, caricature, visual effect, vocal or other sound, sound effect, music, voice, voice reproduction, or performance featured in such media, regardless of the tangible medium, broadcast medium, form, or format, and regardless of where produced.


You submit your video through the Form once you click, tap, or otherwise activate the “Submit” button located at the bottom of the Form after, at minimum, completing the required fields in the Form, each denoted by an asterisk (*).


This Video Submission Policy (“Agreement”) constitutes the agreement between you and us with respect to the video you submit through the Form and describes the rights, licenses, authorizations, and permissions you confer on us by submitting your video through the Form. Such rights, licenses, authorizations, and permissions, described hereinafter, shall commence immediately upon your submission of your video through the Form and continue thereafter perpetually, unless and until terminated, in whole or in part, by us, with or without notice to you. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge, accept, and agree that we shall not be required or obligated to host, index, display, accept, or otherwise use any submitted video or exercise any or all of the rights granted to us. You also acknowledge, agree, and accept that you are not, nor shall you be, entitled to any compensation or other consideration for your video, any modified versions of your video, or any use made of the video you submit through the Form. By submitting your video through the Form, you affirm and certify that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by this Agreement, along with our Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.


Exclusive License Grant

By submitting your video through the Form, you automatically grant us the unqualified, unrestricted, perpetual, irrevocable, unconditional, unlimited, sublicensable, transferable, and exclusive right, license, authorization, and permission to:

  1. copy, cut, edit, amend, modify, prepare derivative works of, and otherwise manipulate your video or incorporate your video in other works of any form or format;
  2. use, publish, distribute, post, display, exhibit, broadcast, transmit, and share your video or any modified versions of your video in any and all media, formats, channels, and domains;
  3. license to others, commercialize, perform, enforce, and otherwise exploit your video; and
  4. use and refer to your name, image, likeness, characteristic, or other distinctive identification featured in your video, with or without compensation or notice to you.

For the avoidance of doubt, and without limiting the generality of the rights granted to us, submitting your video to us through the Form constitutes your decision to grant us, without limitation, the exclusive right to:

  1. post your video, or any modified versions of your video, to our accounts on third-party social media networks such as Instagram, TikTok, Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube (collectively, “Social Networks”);
  2. use your video, or any modified versions of your video, in advertising or promotional material;
  3. license your video to others for payment;
  4. field, pursue, and accept sponsorship opportunities in relation to your video;
  5. make and sell merchandise that incorporates your video or any modified versions of your video, including images therefrom; and
  6. pursue and receive damages and other fees for all infringements—past, present, and future—of intellectual property rights in and to your video.

We do not guarantee, however, that any of your video will be used, published, or otherwise exploited by us. We reserve the right to, but are not obligated to, use, edit, modify, remove, or otherwise manipulate your video for any reason, at any time, and without notice to you.


The rights that you grant to us by submitting your video through the Form, described by this Agreement, are exclusive. As such, by entering this license, you agree that:

  1. you will not grant, and have not granted, any rights in or to the video to any third party;
  2. you will not submit, and have not submitted, your video to any third party; and
  3. you will not continue to distribute your video to your accounts on Social Networks without our express consent.

By submitting your video through the Form, you release us from, and agree not to assert, any and all claims of any rights, encumbrances, claims, liens, demands, actions or suits which you may or can have in relation to your video, including, without limitation, claims of:

  1. copyright infringement;
  2. invasion of privacy;
  3. violation of your rights of publicity;
  4. emotional distress;
  5. economic loss;
  6. defamation, libel, and slander; and
  7. “moral” rights stemming from modification to your video.

Except for the rights, licenses, authorizations, and permissions described in this Agreement, you retain any and all rights which may exist in your video.

  7. features the name, image, voice, or performance of any individual who did not provide his or her consent to having the foregoing used for the purposes hereunder; and
