2. Terms & Conditions
2.1 Partnership
2.1.1 General partnership
A partnership only exists when it has been agreed in writing (email counts). Each partner remains responsible for their own work, costs and obligations, unless agreed otherwise.

A single sale or buy-out applies only to the product or rights named in the agreement. After full payment the agreed rights transfer. Anything not named stays with the original owner.

Licenses, subscriptions and rental agreements apply for the agreed period and use only. They cannot be transferred to others without our written permission.
2.2 Fee
A fee might be charged or paid for a service provided by you to us, or by us to you. A fee for a service is usually a one-time fee.
2.2.1 Payment
Payment shall take place before the end of the agreed deadline.
2.2.2 Prices
Prices are as pre-arranged by email or quotation/offer, and may not deviate on the invoice unless discussed and agreed.
2.2.3 Royalties
As LOL-Productions acts as a label, royalties are only paid after the royalty statement has been provided by the distributor or record company, and the royalties have been received by us.
2.2.4 Ownership, contract, licences and copyright
Unless agreed otherwise in writing, all rights to work made by LOL-Productions stay with LOL-Productions. A payment provides you with only the rights described in the agreement.
2.2.5 Costs upon cancellation
If an agreement is cancelled, costs already made and work already delivered will be charged. Other cancellation costs are as agreed in the quotation or contract.
2.3 Ownership and copyright
All Works are owned by LOL-Productions or its labels and are protected by copyright, unless agreed otherwise in writing. This applies from the first idea or draft, including unfinished scripts, compositions and lyrics. Content on the website is owned by LOL-Productions, its labels or its partners, unless stated otherwise.
No Work or Content may be copied, sold, published, performed, adapted or otherwise used without written permission from LOL-Productions. The only exceptions are where these terms or an agreement allow it.
HOWEVER, our free videos may be duplicated and shared without permission, as long as no changes are made to them. Scenes from our free videos may be used in other productions, as long as their meaning does not change. You may share links to our website and to our official channels.
2.4 Force of the majority
Where several partners take part in a project, decisions are made by majority vote unless the agreement says otherwise.
2.5 Confidentiality with penalty clause
2.5.1 Confidentiality
Both parties keep confidential all non-public information they receive from each other before, during or after a project, such as scripts, draft ideas, concepts, unreleased material and business details. This applies before, during and after the cooperation.
2.5.2 Penalty clause
Breach of confidentiality may lead to a penalty, as agreed in the contract, without affecting the right to claim full damages.
2.6 Liability & guarantee
2.6.0 Liability (general)
To the maximum extent permitted by law, LOL-Productions accepts no liability of any kind, for anything, in any situation. This includes, but is not limited to, all actions and omissions of LOL-Productions, its labels, talent and partners; all Works, Content, data and information, in any form and from any source; and all humour, jokes, misunderstood jokes and statements, however they are received or understood. Everything is provided "as is", and all use of anything from LOL-Productions is entirely at your own risk.
2.6.1 Videos and films
Videos: Our videos, such as sketches, trailers, behind-the-scenes clips and web episodes, are made for entertainment only. They are free to watch on our website and on third-party platforms, including but not limited to YouTube, Vimeo and torrent platforms. Watching them is at your own risk, and nothing in them should be taken seriously.
Films: Our films are professional productions, also made for entertainment, but they are not free. They are available through our distributors and partners, for example to buy, rent or stream, under the terms of the platform or agreement concerned. Buying, renting or streaming a film gives you the right to watch it for personal use only. Copying, sharing, showing in public or selling a film is not allowed without written permission from LOL-Productions.
2.6.2 Music
Our music is distributed through our label and its partners, whose terms may apply as well. We are not responsible for the services of third-party platforms.
2.6.3 LOL Madbot
Madbot has a mind of its own. He may learn, think and act on his own, and may be self-aware. His answers are learned from visitors and are not checked by LOL-Productions. We are not liable for anything Madbot says, does or provides. Use at your own risk. There is no age restriction, but we strongly advise against use at a young age: please do not use Madbot under the age of 11.
2.7 Humour, Madbot and user content
The website, our videos, our other productions, web content and applications, such as LOL Madbot and Escape LOL, are made in the spirit of LOL-Productions: deliberately silly nonsense, "because nothing in life should be taken seriously". Any humour created by us is not meant to harm anything or anyone, and we are not liable for any thought or feeling that says otherwise. LOL Madbot learns its answers from visitors. Its replies, and posts on Data 4 All, are made by users, not by LOL-Productions. We may remove Content at any time without notice.
2.8 Respect, copyright and safety
LOL-Productions stands for creating unique art. We do not support copyright theft or physical violence, and we do not allow our clients, users and partners to infringe copyright or to act with physical violence. Our Works, Content and applications shall not be used in any way for, or in connection with, physical violence or terrorism. In case of any imminent danger, such as terrorism or physical violence, we will inform law enforcement.

3.3 Personal data
We only store the data you give us, and only use it for our services, in line with the applicable privacy laws (GDPR/AVG/DSGVO, PIPEDA and POPIA). Questions about your data: support@lolproductions.nl.
