Terms and Agreement

The Spark Motion Website, (the “Site”) is an internet based software application owned by Spark Motion, Inc, a Maryland Corporation (references to “we” “us” and “our” shall refer to such entity) that acts as a conduit for the transmission and private viewing of video and audio content (“Content”) between registered users of the Site and the storage of such content using a cloud-based platform (the “Application”). The Application permits the recording of voice over the videos and limited editing, with its primary purpose being to enhance sports performance or provide physical therapy remotely via the internet. A trainer, coach, or physical therapist (“Professional User”) may have their clients, students, or patients, as the case may be (“Personal Users”), upload a video of themselves performing an activity. The Professional User would then evaluate and dissect the movements with the aid of the Application, record his feedback/instructive comments with a voice overlay, and then send the video back to the Personal User.
