All of the terms and conditions below apply to all the persons interacting with the homepage
movie project in any way. The structure of the text serves only the purpose of better
readability.
Page Registration
- Registrants are the persons who register a page for inclusion in the homepage movie and pay the
price for the reserved slot.
- The minimum slot size that can be purchased on the movie is 1 second, the maximum is 10 seconds.
- The overall number of available slots is one million at most. The operator of this site reserves
the right to reduce the overall length of the movie and/or to adapt the price for the slots in response
to changing demands.
- A page may be registered only once with the homepage movie. Additional registrations might be
removed from the movie at any time.
- Once a page has been registered, an image of the page is automatically created. It becomes visible
along with one or several links to the registered page on the movie as soon as the associated slot has
been paid by the registrant.
- The image of the page is shown whenever movie playback reaches the position of the slot that has
been assigned to the page. The page is shown for at least the number of seconds that have been purchased.
The operator of the movie can not be held responsible for any kind of disruptions during the playback
of the movie.
- It is not possible to update the image of a page once published. The only exception is made in case
the created image shows an error resulting from the unaccessibility of the registered page or technical
problems. In this case, reupdates can be requested by mail within a period of 28 days.
- The position of a registered page is determined by random. The registrant has no influence on this
assignment and can - in particular - not modify a page's position and/or potential links to its neighbors.
- Registrants have no claim on the ever lasting storage of the image of their homepage. They must therefore
not rely on the image of their page being stored in the homepage movie.
- The operator of the homepage movie will backup the images made of the registered pages. In case of
unexpected technical problems, however, he reserves the right to possibly replace the originally taken
image with an updated one.
- Registered pages must not violate the rights of the operator of the movie or any third parties. In
particular, the page itself and/or the snapshot taken of the page must not show offensive,
harmful-to-minors, extremist or racist contents. What is appropriate for the movie is decided by the
operator of this site.
- Pages may only be registered with the movie if the registrant has the authority to do so. In particular,
it is not allowed for the registrant to violate the rights of third parties through the submission
of a page.
- If pages are questionable in terms of the above requirements, the operator of the movie will give
registrants the opportunity to provide an alternative page/image. If no consent can be found, or if pages
clearly contradict the above requirements, the respective images may be removed from the movie without
notice. No refund of previously made payments is possible.
- Once your image has been published on the homepage movie, it is not possible to get a refund. Please
take this into consideration when requesting the removal of your page.
Affiliate Program
- Everybody having a valid E-Mail address can participate in the affiliate program of the homepage
movie. In particular, it is not necessary to buy a movie slot or any other product in order to participate.
- Referrers promote the homepage movie project on a voluntary basis. The operator of this page has no
influence and is not responsible for the contents of respective promotion actions.
- Referrers may not violate the rights of the operator of this site or any third parties when
promoting this page. Violating referrers may be excluded from the affiliate program (and in particular
the reward system) without notice.
- The top referrer gets rewarded with 9%, the second top referrer gets rewarded with 4% and the third
top referrer gets rewarded with 1% of the overall value of the homepage movie. The operator of the movie
reserves the right to increase these rates and/or to include also further persons into the reward
system.
- The value of the homepage movie is defined as the overall sales volume minus the expenses that
incur in the context of the organization and transaction of movie slot payments. If, for example, all 1 million
pages are sold for 9 euros/page, the overall sales volume is 9 million euros. If the associated transaction
fees are 2 million euros, the value of the movie is 7 million euros. 9% of this value would be 630.000 euros.
- Referrers are assessed by use of a credit system. Referrers are rewarded with credits for their own
purchases and the purchases made by the first four levels of referred users. Credit rates are: 1 credit/second
for own purchases, 0.5 credits/second for the first level, 0.25 credits/second for the second level,
0.125 credits/second for the third level and 0.0625 credits/second for the fourth level.
- The association between referrer and referree is made at the time the referree registers. It is based
on the information provided by the referred user. The referrer has no claim on the association if the
referred user does not provide adequate information.
- It is not possible to change referrer information once it has been entered. It is the sole responsibility
of the referrer to provide referrees with information identifying the referrer correctly on the homepage
movie.
- It is not possible to transfer referred users and the stored associations from one referrer to another
one. In particular, it is not possible to change the E-Mail address provided at the time of registration.
- Each affiliate may only register once. In particular, it is not allowed to make self-referrals in
order to get credit points.
- Any attempt that is made to get more credit points than actually deserved will be prosecuted.
- The final ranking will be made as soon as the last slot of the movie has been given away. All the
information provided on this site prior to this moment can be regarded as a non-binding preview on the final
results.
- In case of two or more referrers reaching the same amount of credits, the person with the higher
number of referred movie slots (within the first four levels of referral) gets the higher rank. If this
number is equal, the person who registered earlier with the homepage movie gets the higher rank and
all associated benefits.
- Top referrers are paid only as soon as the last slot of the homepage movie has been given away.
This is the case when either (1) all available slots have been sold or (2) it is no longer possible to purchase
slots on the homepage movie. In particular, the shop on the homepage movie closes as soon as no slots have been
sold for more than 18 consecutive months.
- The operator of the movie will not impede the finalization of the movie
in any way. Still, slight delays in the sale of the last few movie slots may occur in case of special
actions and/or public sales.
- The operator of the homepage movie provides no refund for expenses that have been made in order
to promote the homepage movie in any way. If referrers decide to pay money for advertising the movie all
such expenses represent their own risk.
- At no time the participating referrers will have an influence on the operation and the contents
of the homepage movie project. Also top referrers do not get an actual share in the project, but only
a monetary reward for their marketing activities.
Services and Communication
- All communication with registrants and referrers is based on the provided E-Mail address. If this
address does not work or if no response is received within a period of 28 days, the operator of the
movie has to assume that wrong information has been provided during registration. In that case,
negative effects may occur to the registrant or referrer.
- The operator of the movie intends to keep this page online as long as possible. It will be online
for at least three years (until 31th December 2010). If all of the slots are given away the movie will
be shown as long as it is possible in terms of the available technology: It can be expected to be
played for at least 10 years in that case.
