Tightrope Media Systems, Inc.
This Cablecast Cloud Services License Agreement (the “License”) governs the use of the Cablecast™ Cloud Services™ software application (“Cablecast Cloud Services”). Cablecast Cloud Services is owned, developed, and maintained by Tightrope Media Systems, Inc., a Minnesota corporation with its principal office in Minneapolis, Minnesota, U.S.A. (“Tightrope,” “we,” “our,”) and its licensors.
PLEASE READ THIS LICENSE CAREFULLY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE WITH ITS TERMS, YOU ARE NOT AUTHORIZED TO USE THE CABLECAST CLOUD SERVICES APPLICATION.
Capitalized terms that are defined in this License, such as “Cablecast Cloud Services” or “User,” have the specific definitions given to them whenever they are used in this License.
Scope of License
Tightrope provides Cablecast Cloud Services to end users (the “User,” “you,” “your”) for use pushing video from Cablecast servers (the “Cablecast Platform”) to video streaming services such as AppleTV®, Roku® and Amazon® Fire TV (the “Streaming Services”). Cablecast Cloud Services is offered in both Basic and Branded versions. Both Cablecast Cloud Services versions require that the User have an active subscription to the Cablecast Reflect cloud-based service.
Tightrope is regularly expanding the Cablecast family of hardware and software products and the latest information can be obtained via the Cablecast website (https://www.cablecast.tv).
Tightrope distributes Cablecast Cloud Services directly and via third party distributors such as the Apple TV App Store® (the “Third Party Distributors”). This License is only between Tightrope and the User, and not the User and any Third Party Distributor, such as the Apple, Inc., the owner of the Apple TV App Store. Tightrope is solely responsible for Cablecast Cloud Services and all of its functionality and content, as applicable.
The User is responsible for complying with the terms and conditions, license agreements, or policies that Third Party Distributors may require the User to accept as a condition of downloading and using Cablecast Cloud Services and other applications provided by them. In the event this License conflicts or differs from the usage rules of the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions, then the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions shall control. Notwithstanding Your sole and direct responsibility to the Apple TV App Store and/or Apple, Inc. for compliance with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions in connection with this License, Tightrope’s provision of Cablecast Cloud Services is consistent with the Apple Media Services Terms and Conditions to the extent applicable.
Tightrope, and not its Third Party Distributors, is solely responsible for the features, functionality, quality, and all other attributes of Cablecast Cloud Services.

You acknowledge and agree that we may require you to provide an electronic signature or take some other affirmative action in electronic form to indicate your acceptance of this License. You agree that such an electronic signature or action taken solely in electronic form shall have the same effect and create the same binding legal obligation as a signature made and delivered in person.
