License Terms
Annual License
- PURPOSE. Christian Video Licensing International, LLC (“CVLI”) grants licensee (“Licensee”) a non-exclusive license (“License”) to publicly perform copyrighted “Works” defined below, under the Terms and Conditions specified in this CVLI License Agreement (“Agreement”).
- LAW. CVLI warrants and represents that it has secured the appropriate rights, under the federal Copyright Act, Title 17, U.S.C. §101 and §106, to grant this License.
- TERM. “Term” shall mean the period beginning on the “Start Date” listed on the CVLI Video License Application (“Application”) and shall continue thereafter for periods of one (1) year each, unless cancelled by either party giving thirty (30) days advance written notice before the end of said period or any subsequent period. Each one (1) year period during the Term is referred to herein as a “Contract Year.” If Licensee does not timely notify CVLI of its intent to terminate, this Agreement will remain in effect for the entire subsequent Contract Year, and Licensee will be responsible for the entire annual fee due to CVLI hereunder pursuant to Section 5 hereof.
- RIGHTS. The public performances authorized by this Agreement shall take place in the Facility(ies) identified in the Application or as Licensee otherwise notifies, and shall be via any means originally intended for personal use only, including but not limited to DVD, streaming and download. The sole purpose of such performances is to entertain and/or educate authorized viewers and only employees that facilitate those performances. No specific titles, or any characters from such titles, or producers’ names will be advertised or publicized to the general public, and no admission or other fee will be charged to the audience. The exhibitions cannot be used to endorse any goods or services. Works are defined as motion pictures and other audiovisual programs to which CVLI has received the rights to license under the parameters set forth herein.
- FEE. The agreed license fee for the first Contract Year of this Agreement is specified on the Application, which amount is payable to CVLI. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that subsequent Contract Years may require adjustments based on various factors, including, but not limited to adjustments which: (i) reflect any change from the previous year’s Consumer Price Index (CPI), and/or (ii) reflect an increase in the number of Facilities or other relevant factors used to determine the license fee. On an annual basis, or upon request by CVLI, Licensee shall furnish CVLI with the information CVLI may request in order to determine the proposed license fee for subsequent Contract Years. Should CVLI wish to increase the license fee for the subsequent Contract Year, it shall propose such increased license fee to Licensee no later than sixty (60) days before the end of the then-current Contract Year. Licensee shall then have up to the date that is thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the Contract Year to evaluate CVLI’s proposed license fee for the subsequent Contract Year. If Licensee does not timely notify CVLI of intent to terminate pursuant to Section 3 hereof, this Agreement will remain in effect for the entire subsequent Contract Year, with the license fee set at the amount proposed by CVLI. Such license fee for each subsequent Contract Year shall be due and payable no later than the beginning of each respective subsequent Contract Year. Late payments for subsequent Contract Years will be subject to a charge of one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the license fee per month.
- RESTRICTIONS. The specific titles which may be publicly performed by Licensee under this Agreement are Works produced and/or distributed by CVLI affiliated rightsholder companies only. CVLI represents that it or its rightsholders may not possess the appropriate rights to certain individual titles, or, due to the expiration of those rights during the term of this Agreement, CVLI may send Licensee at any time during the term of this Agreement binding notices that certain titles cannot be or may no longer be publicly performed under this Agreement. Such notices shall be binding and effective upon Licensee when received.
- LEGALLY OBTAINED WORKS ONLY. Licensee may publicly perform only legally obtained Works covered by this Agreement. The responsibility for obtaining the Works is that of Licensee, and the costs of acquiring the Works are to be borne solely by Licensee and are separate and distinct from the agreed public performance license fee.

To the best of CVLI’s knowledge, no such separate fees for motion pictures are presently in effect.
- ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by Licensee, without the prior written consent of CVLI, except that Licensee shall (a) assign this Agreement in connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of its assets and business, (b) provide CVLI with immediate notice of the assignment including contact information for the assignee, and (c) guarantee assignee’s performance of all obligations of Licensee under this Agreement. This Agreement may be assigned by CVLI.
- TAX LIABILITY. In the event that a determination is made by a taxing authority or court of any state in which Licensee conducts business that the activity licensed herein renders CVLI liable for the payment of a gross receipts, sales, business use or other tax which is based on the amount of CVLI’s receipts from Licensee, then Licensee shall reimburse and indemnify CVLI within thirty (30) days of notification therefore for Licensee’s pro rata share of any such tax derived from receipts received from Licensee.
- NOTICE. Any notice provided for herein shall be given in person; by first class air mail, postage prepaid; or by reputable overnight carrier; addressed to the party to be notified as listed on the Application.

In the event of such termination, there shall be no refund of the license fee. A waiver by CVLI or by Licensee of any specific breach by the other shall not constitute a waiver of any prior, continuing or subsequent breach of the same, or any other provision of this Agreement. If any part of this Agreement shall be determined unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
- LEGAL FEES. In the event CVLI engages a lawyer to enforce its rights under this Agreement by virtue of the breach on the part of Licensee, of any term of this Agreement, Licensee agrees to pay the reasonable costs and legal fees incurred by CVLI.
- COLLECTION FEES.
