ANIMOTO has introduced Reseller Accounts

For all those who love what Animoto can do, you also know their TOS did not allow reselling the videos to businesses.

I recently got an email from them that changes that policy.

The subject was: Sell your videos to businesses with Animoto Reseller

Here's the body:
Resell videos to other businesses
with Animoto's new Reseller account


Priced at $499/year, Reseller lets you resell videos to other businesses. However, since you've been with Animoto from the beginning, you have the opportunity to upgrade to a Reseller account for only $249/year. Here's how:



1. Purchase an annual Animoto Pro account by July 31, 2011.
2. Complete this Reseller application form by July 31, 2011.
3. Start selling!

Do I need to sign up for Reseller?

If you'd like to resell videos to other businesses, you must have a Reseller account. Only Reseller account holders may resell or distribute videos to other businesses. If you don't intend to resell videos to other businesses, a Reseller account isn't necessary for you.

Can I continue to resell to individuals with my Pro account?

Yes. Animoto Pro allows you to sell to individuals for their personal use. It does not permit you to resell to businesses. The Terms of Service for the Pro account aren't affected by the introduction of Reseller.

If I upgrade to Reseller, would my Reseller account renew at $249?

If you upgrade to Reseller before July 31, 2011 (as described above), as long as you maintain an active annual Pro subscription you will continue enjoying Reseller benefits at the rate of $249/year. If your annual Pro subscription lapses or expires, you may renew your Reseller account at the standard rate of $499/year.


I enjoy detailed legal documents. Where can I find the full Terms of Service?

Still have questions? Email us at reseller@animoto.com for more information.

*Must have an active annual Animoto Pro subscription on or before July 31, 2011 in order to qualify for grandfathering into Reseller. Those whose first Pro account was purchased after June 30, 2011 do not qualify for Reseller grandfathering.
This should be a big help to anyone wanting to sell videos and abide by their TOS.

    • Yes, I got that email too. I'm not sure why you think that's a great deal. People were reselling videos anyway and there's nothing Animoto could do about it. They need the business.

      By all means pay them an additional $249 a year if you want. I'll pass.

        Well, as I stated, this is ONLY for people who want to abide by the TOS. Animoto can always find and deactivate your videos.

        $249/yr tax deductible is no skin off my back at all. And I rest well at night knowing my business & my clients' businesses are secure & legit.

          Well, might be a good idea to hold off for a couple of months. I do agree that even at $499/yr, its a good deal if you do this professionally. However, not jumping in right away might make them re-think their position and offer it for $249 to all.

          Just a thought...
