These Terms of Service (the “Terms”) are a binding agreement between you and NoozTV LLC (“NOOZ,” “we,” “us,” or “our”), which operates Nooz.tv, a local community video news platform. By visiting nooz.tv, creating an account, applying to any NOOZ program, or purchasing anything from us, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree, please do not use the platform. If you are agreeing on behalf of a business, you represent that you are authorized to bind that business.
We are building a platform that local communities can trust. You agree that you will not:
We may review, refuse, edit, or remove any content at our discretion, and we may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms. We are not obligated to monitor content, and we do not guarantee that we will catch every violation.
You keep ownership of your content. You continue to own the video, images, text, and other material you submit to NOOZ (“Your Content”). We do not claim ownership of it.
The license you give us. By submitting Your Content, you grant NOOZ a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable, and sub-licensable license to host, store, reproduce, edit, adapt, caption, excerpt, reformat, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, and distribute Your Content on the NOOZ platform and on the third-party search, social, and video platforms through which we distribute NOOZ content, and to use it to promote NOOZ and the platform. This license lets us do the job you are asking us to do: edit your video, publish it, and push it out to an audience.
How long the license lasts. You may ask us to remove Your Content at any time, and we will remove it from nooz.tv within a reasonable period. However, the license continues for content that has already been distributed to or reshared on third-party platforms, incorporated into compilations or promotional material, or retained in backups, because we cannot always retrieve those copies. We will make reasonable efforts to request removal from platforms we control.
Your promises about Your Content. You represent and warrant that, for everything you submit:
NOOZ may provide release forms as a courtesy, but obtaining valid releases remains your responsibility. If you cannot secure the rights to something, do not submit it.
Featured Membership is a paid, recurring subscription for businesses. Current pricing is $469 per month, plus a one-time setup fee of $400 charged at enrollment. Pricing displayed on the site at the time you enroll governs your subscription.
Payments are processed by Stripe , and are also subject to that processor's terms. We do not store your full payment card details.
The NOOZcaster program lets approved individuals produce local video content for NOOZ. Applying is free. Being accepted is not guaranteed — we review every application and may decline any applicant, or limit the number of NOOZcasters in a city, for any lawful reason.
NOOZcasters are independent contractors, not employees, partners, joint venturers, or agents of NOOZ. You control when, where, and how you produce content, you set your own schedule, and there are no minimum hours or quotas. You are responsible for your own taxes, including self-employment tax, and for your own equipment, transportation, and expenses beyond what the starter kit includes. We will issue an IRS Form 1099 where required. Nothing in these Terms entitles you to employee benefits, workers' compensation, unemployment insurance, or expense reimbursement. You may not enter into contracts, incur obligations, or make representations on behalf of NOOZ.
No earnings are guaranteed.
NOOZ makes no representation, promise, or guarantee that you will earn any particular amount, or any money at all. Any income figures, examples, or scenarios shown on this site or in our materials are illustrative only. They are not typical results, not averages, and not a projection of what you will earn. Your results depend on your own effort, skill, time invested, local market conditions, and factors outside anyone's control. Many participants earn little or nothing. You should not enroll based on an expectation of a specific income, and you should not spend money you cannot afford to lose.
Subject to that disclaimer, accepted NOOZcasters may earn, at the rates published on our enrollment pages:
Compensation is earned only when the underlying Featured Member subscription is actually paid and remains active. Recurring referral compensation stops when the underlying subscription is cancelled, refunded, charged back, or goes unpaid, and we may reverse amounts already credited in those cases. No compensation is paid for merely enrolling someone as a NOOZcaster, or for starter kit or membership fees paid by people you refer — compensation is tied to Featured Member subscriptions and to production work actually performed.
Payments are made monthly, within 15 days after the end of the calendar month in which they are earned, via direct deposit (ACH) to the bank account you provide, with a minimum payout threshold of $25 — any balance below that carries forward to the next payout and is paid out in full once you reach the threshold or when your participation ends, after we receive a completed IRS Form W-9 from you. Compensation rates are subject to change on at least 30 days' written notice. Unpaid compensation is forfeited if your participation is terminated for a material breach of these Terms. We maintain the final determination of amounts owed, and you should raise any dispute about a payment within 60 days of receiving it.
NOOZ press credentials identify you as a credentialed contributor to NOOZ. They remain our property, are personal to you, and may not be transferred, altered, or reproduced. They do not grant you legal authority, special access rights, or immunity of any kind, and they do not obligate any venue, business, or public body to admit you. Whether any third party — including any social media platform's verification or journalist program — recognizes your credentials is entirely up to that third party, and we do not guarantee any such outcome. You must return or destroy your credentials when your participation ends.
The NOOZ name, logo, channel names, website design, software, and other materials we provide are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property law. While your participation is active and in good standing, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use NOOZ branding solely as needed to carry out your role and consistent with any brand guidelines we provide. You may not register, or attempt to register, any NOOZ mark or a confusingly similar mark, or any domain or social account name incorporating one.
If you believe content on NOOZ infringes your copyright, send a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act to support@nooz.tv or to our designated agent at Infraxio LLC, 90 Fort Wade Rd, Suite 100, Ponte Vedra, FL 32081 . Include the material at issue, your contact information, a statement of good-faith belief that the use is unauthorized, and a statement under penalty of perjury that your notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act. We will remove infringing material and will terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.
You may stop using NOOZ at any time and may cancel any subscription as described above. We may suspend or terminate your account, membership, subscription, or participation if you breach these Terms, if you create risk or possible legal exposure for us, if your payments fail, or if we discontinue the program or the platform. Where practical we will give you notice by email or the next time you sign in. If we terminate you without cause, we will refund any prepaid fees covering the period after termination. On termination, the licenses you granted us in Section 5 survive to the extent described there, as do Sections 14 through 18.
NOOZ is provided “as is” and “as available.” To the fullest extent permitted by law, we disclaim all warranties, express or implied, including the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or error-free, that content will be accurate, that your content will reach any particular audience or achieve any particular reach or engagement, that we will launch in any particular city or on any particular date, or that any third party will do business with you. We are not responsible for content posted by users, for the conduct of any user, NOOZcaster, or Featured Member, or for anything that happens while you are gathering content offline. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain disclaimers, so some of these may not apply to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by law, NOOZ and its officers, directors, employees, and agents will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any lost profits, lost revenue, lost business opportunity, lost data, or loss of goodwill, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of NOOZ, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. Our total aggregate liability for all claims relating to these Terms will not exceed the greater of the amount you paid us in the twelve months before the event giving rise to the claim, or one hundred dollars ($100). These limits apply regardless of the legal theory and do not apply to liability that cannot be limited by law.
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless NOOZ and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from any claim, demand, loss, or expense, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of Your Content, your breach of these Terms, your violation of any law, your violation of anyone's rights (including privacy, publicity, and intellectual property rights), your conduct while gathering content, or any statement you make about NOOZ or about potential earnings that we did not authorize.
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its conflict of laws rules.
Let's talk first. If you have a dispute with us, please contact support@nooz.tv and give us 30 days to try to resolve it informally. Most problems can be sorted out this way.
Where disputes are decided. Any claim that is not resolved informally will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New Hanover County, North Carolina, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts. You may still bring a qualifying claim in small claims court.
Nothing in these Terms prevents you from reporting concerns to a government agency.
We may update these Terms as the platform develops. We will update the “Last updated” date at the top of this page, and for material changes — especially changes to fees, compensation, or dispute resolution — we will give you advance notice by email or on the site. Changes are not retroactive. Your continued use of NOOZ after a change takes effect means you accept the updated Terms. If you do not accept them, stop using NOOZ and cancel any subscription.
