Terms & Conditions

These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern the access and use of the BMA Content Hub (the "Platform"), operated by BSP Media Group (the "Company").

By registering an account or using the Platform, you ("User", "Member", "Content Contributor", or "Content Acquirer") agree to be legally bound by these Terms and Conditions as well as our Privacy Policy.

• Industry Focus: The Platform is a dedicated Business-to-Business marketplace for the African and international media, broadcasting, and technology sectors.
• Registration: Use is restricted to verified industry professionals. The Company reserves the right to refuse access to individuals or entities that do not meet professional criteria.

As a Content Contributor, you provide the following warranties to the Company and all Content Acquirers:

• Rights Ownership: You warrant that you own or possess an enforceable, documented right to exploit and sub-license any content you list or make available for sale.
• Clearances: You have obtained all necessary written consents from creators, featured performers, or owners of works composed in the content to enable use as permitted by these Terms.
• Regulatory Compliance: Content must not be obscene or contain prohibited content as defined by the Broadcasting Act or relevant regional laws.
• Technical Integrity: You warrant that content does not contain viruses, Trojan horses, or programming routines designed to surreptitiously intercept or access any system or personal information.

As a Content Acquirer (User searching for or licensing content), you agree to the following:

• Professional Use Only: Content discovery tools, trailers, and screeners are provided solely for professional evaluation for potential licensing and may not be redistributed for consumer use.
• Confidentiality of Screeners: Any screeners or “mini-bibles” provided by a Content Contributor must be treated as strictly confidential and may not be shared outside of your organisation’s acquisition team.
• Licensing Agreements: You acknowledge that the Platform facilitates discovery but is not a party to the final licensing or distribution agreement. Any transaction is a direct contract between you and the Content Contributor.
• Integrity of Material: You may not alter, edit, or suggest that any discovered programming is originated by any party other than the Content Contributor unless expressly authorised.

• Territory and Term: All licensing initiated via the Platform is subject to specific territory and duration constraints defined in the individual contract between parties.
• Non-Agency: Nothing in these Terms creates a joint venture, principal-agent, or partnership relationship between the Company and any User.
• Exclusivity: While discovery on the Hub is non-exclusive, specific licensing deals negotiated through the platform may grant exclusive rights to a Content Acquirer as agreed upon between the parties.

The Content Contributor shall indemnify the Company and any Content Acquirer against any claim, damage, loss, or legal fees arising from:

• A breach of any warranty regarding ownership or rights.
• Any third-party claim that the use of the content infringes intellectual property, moral rights, or rights of confidentiality.

• Platform “As Is”: The Company provides the Platform without express or implied warranties regarding the accuracy of content metadata provided by Contributors.
• Security Audits: The Company may conduct security audits to prevent unauthorised access and reserves the right to suspend accounts where a security breach is suspected.

• Jurisdiction: These Terms are governed by the law and jurisdiction of England and Wales in the United Kingdom.
• Arbitration: Any dispute arising out of or in connection with these Terms shall be referred to and finally resolved by arbitration. The place of arbitration shall be London, England, and the language of the proceedings shall be English.
