Terms & Conditions

Warranties and Liability

    • MediaStreams Communications is not liable for any loss resulting from disruption of a webcast due to power outages, loss of Internet Connection, venue equipment failure or audio/video issues offered by the event venue.
      Please Note: Providing a reliable and dedicated, high-speed Internet connection according to our specifications, is the sole responsibility of the client. Mediastreams cannot be held liable for any failure of the live stream or any other issues resulting from any disruption or non-availability of this requirement.
    • While we can stream Live to YouTube, it will be on our own YouTube account.
      Please note: YouTube has introduced a feature that stops the video on its own if the user has not interacted with it for a given period of time. This problem can also happen if your internet connection is slow and you are watching the video at higher resolutions. The internet browser you are using can also be the culprit for this problem and we cannot be held responsible for issues such as this arising during a webcast.
