Application terms
VH2 Content Licensing & Revenue Share
These terms explain the proposed arrangement recorded with your submission. Final rights, dates, and any negotiated changes appear in the agreement approved by both parties.
1. License grant
The Licensor grants VH2 a non-exclusive, limited license during the agreed term and territory to exhibit, stream, distribute, promote, schedule, and monetize the approved content through VH2-authorized television, web, mobile, OTT, connected-TV, FAST, AVOD, SVOD, PPV, cable, IPTV, and other specifically approved services. Ownership remains with the Licensor.
2. Net revenue and split
Unless a final signed schedule states otherwise, Net Revenue means money actually received by VH2 from exploitation of the licensed content after documented platform commissions, app-store fees, payment-processing fees, refunds, chargebacks, taxes, advertising-sales commissions, ad-serving costs, and other direct third-party distribution or collection costs. Net Revenue is divided 60% to the Licensor / Distributor and 40% to VH2 Television.
3. Accounting and payment
VH2 will account quarterly unless the final agreement states another period. Amounts are payable after VH2 receives the corresponding funds. Balances below the payment threshold stated in the agreement schedule may roll forward until the threshold is reached. Reports may include qualified plays, viewing minutes, gross receipts, deductions, Net Revenue, and each party's share.
4. Scheduling and performance
VH2 controls programming schedules, placement, frequency, advertising inventory, promotional placement, and technical presentation. VH2 does not guarantee acceptance, minimum airings, views, subscribers, advertising sales, license revenue, or any minimum payment unless expressly written in the final agreement.
5. Ownership, clearances, and warranties
The applicant represents that it owns or controls every right offered and has obtained all required copyright, music, talent, likeness, location, privacy, publicity, and other permissions. Upon request, the applicant must provide chain-of-title and clearance documentation. VH2 may suspend content when a legitimate ownership or rights dispute arises.
6. Delivery and technical changes
The Licensor will provide commercially acceptable masters, captions, metadata, artwork, and other agreed materials. VH2 may transcode, normalize audio, insert captions and ad markers, adjust aspect ratio, and make other technical or legal-compliance changes that do not materially alter the story.
7. Promotion
During the term, VH2 may use titles, names, approved artwork, trailers, stills, and reasonable clips solely to advertise the content and VH2 services.
8. Indemnification
The Licensor is responsible for third-party claims arising from its breach, lack of rights, unauthorized music or footage, privacy or publicity violations, or inaccurate ownership representations. VH2 is responsible for claims arising solely from VH2 exploitation outside the rights finally granted.
9. Termination and takedown
The final agreement may be terminated as stated in its signed schedule. VH2 may suspend or remove content immediately for rights disputes, infringement complaints, illegality, platform violations, material misrepresentation, or significant legal exposure. Accrued payment obligations survive termination.
10. No final agreement until approval
Submitting an application records the applicant's agreement to these application terms but does not obligate VH2 to accept or distribute the content. A binding content license is established only after final terms are approved and the agreement is signed by authorized representatives of both parties.
