7. Disclaimer of Warranties & Limitation of Liability

8. Commercial Partnerships, Studio Sponsorships & Billing
Viewlogue partners with film distributors, production studios, and cultural institutions to promote theatrical and home entertainment releases through dedicated premiere spotlights, editorial newsletter features, and geofenced discovery placements. The following commercial terms govern all promotional campaigns:
- Advance Billing & Inventory Reservation: Promotional inventory (including website hero spotlights, mobile application features, and weekly dispatch newsletter sponsorships) is reserved upon receipt of 100% advance payment. Flight dates are not held or guaranteed without payment confirmation.
- Merchant of Record: All commercial transactions and digital invoicing are processed securely via our global Merchant of Record partner, Dodo Payments, ensuring full PCI-DSS compliance, sales tax remittance, and verified international currency billing.
- Cancellation & Non-Refundability: Because promotional flight windows are time-slotted, perishable, and exclusively allocated, sponsorship bookings are non-refundable once creative integration commences or flight dates are locked. Campaign schedules may be rescheduled once within a 60-day window upon mutual written consent prior to flight initiation.
- Creative Asset Warranties: Sponsoring partners warrant that they possess all necessary copyrights, synchronization rights, and distribution licenses for all creative assets, trailers, posters, and trademarks supplied to Viewlogue for campaign display.
9. Changes to Terms
We may update these Terms periodically. Notice of substantial revisions will be provided through the Platform or via email. Continued use of Viewlogue after modifications constitutes acceptance of the new terms.
