USER CONTENT

In the event Company ever invites or otherwise allows you to post, upload, display, or otherwise make available any comments, messages, suggestions, questions, information, ideas, photographs, images, videos, chats, contest entries, or other written, visual, or audio-visual content, whether through the Service, in connection with any contests or other promotions, or on or in response to Company’s pages or posts on any third party platforms, by any media or manner (collectively, “User Content”), you do so at your own risk and (i) acknowledge User Content may be accessible to the public (so please exercise caution before sharing any personal information) and shall not in any event be treated as confidential or proprietary, (ii) grant Company a royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, sublicensable (through multiple tiers), transferable, unrestricted, worldwide license to use, reproduce, publish, publicly perform, publicly display, modify, add to, distribute, transmit, promote, advertise, and make derivative works of the User Content, together with a grant of all applicable consents or waivers (including waivers of publicity rights and moral rights, if any) in favor of Company and its successors and assigns, by any means and in all media now known or hereafter devised in perpetuity, without any notice or compensation to, permission from, or any obligation to reference, you or any other person, and you hereby authorize the use (in Company’s sole discretion) of your name, handle, likeness, and other attributes as they were shared by you in or in connection with such User Content, (iii) acknowledge that you have no expectation of any form of compensation or attribution for any User Content, that Company shall have no obligation to use, acknowledge, or return it, and that Company shall have no responsibility or liability whatsoever in connection therewith (iv) represent and warrant that you are the exclusive owner of all rights in the User Content, which is wholly original with you, or otherwise have the unrestricted right to grant the license above and that no rights or consents shall be required from any third party, (v) agree to waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you may have against Company or any successors or assigns with respect to such User Content, and (vi) agree not to share any User Content which infringes, misappropriates, or otherwise violates any intellectual property, publicity, privacy, or other rights of any third party, reveals any confidential information, promotes illegal acts, or is unlawful, harmful, inaccurate, defamatory, discriminatory, hateful, invasive, inflammatory, vulgar, offensive, sexually explicit, indecent, obscene, threatening, harassing, abusive, falsely representative of your persona, or otherwise objectionable, or which otherwise violates the Terms, as determined by Company in its sole discretion (collectively, “Objectionable”).

In addition, we retain all of the rights held by members of the general public with regard to your Unsolicited Submissions and our receipt of them is not an admission by us of their novelty, priority, or originality, and it does not impair our right to contest existing or future intellectual property rights relating thereto.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT, TO A JURY TRIAL, AND TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS ACTIONS.

 

Governing Law; Venue

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. Jurisdiction and venue for any dispute, controversy, allegation, or claim arising out of or relating in any way to these Terms or this agreement to arbitrate incorporated therein (e.g., respecting interpretation, performance, formation, validity, breach, scope, or enforcement), the Service, Content, User Content, the Privacy Policy, or any other aspect of our relationship with each other (collectively, “Dispute”) shall be in Los Angeles, California. Each party irrevocably submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in Los Angeles, California for any and all purposes (the “Venue”).

 

Binding Arbitration; Jury Trial Waiver

We will each make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any Dispute following notice to each other. If those efforts fail after sixty (60) days, we both agree to resolve any Dispute through final and binding arbitration. We believe that arbitration is a faster, more convenient and less expensive way to resolve any disputes. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by an experienced neutral arbitrator who can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.

 

By agreeing to arbitrate, you are giving up the right to litigate a dispute in court before a judge or jury.

 

We agree that any Dispute shall be fully and finally adjudicated by binding arbitration to the fullest extent allowed by law before a single arbitrator administered by JAMS in Los Angeles, California or, to the extent allowed by the arbitrator, by online videoconference or (if the claim is under $10,000) by phone or via document submission. The arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the applicable JAMS rules (which vary based on the size of the claim), except to the extent they conflict with this arbitration agreement. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at http://www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction and shall be final (except for any limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act).

We each agree that (i) this section shall be deemed a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, which shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision; (ii) the parties shall be entitled to conduct discovery as the arbitrator authorizes as reasonable under all of the circumstances, based on findings that the material sought is relevant to the issues in dispute and that the nature and scope of such discovery is reasonable, it being understood that unless permitted by the arbitrator upon a showing of extraordinary cause, such discovery shall be limited to the production of documents and no more than three depositions by each side; (iii) we each shall maintain the confidential nature of the existence of the Dispute, the award, and the arbitration proceeding, which shall be closed to the public and confidential (with all records relating thereto permanently sealed), except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the award, or as may otherwise be required by law or judicial decision; and (iv) each party initially shall pay half of the arbitrator fees, its own filing fees, and its other costs, unless the arbitrator finds that a party proceeded in bad faith or otherwise elects to allocate any such costs in favor of any prevailing party, in the arbitrator’s discretion.

 

No Class Actions

We each further agree that all proceedings in connection with any Dispute will be conducted only on an individual basis; we each waive our right to file or participate in any class action, private attorney general action, consolidated, collective, or any other representative action.

Notwithstanding any contrary provision in the applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator shall not have the authority or any jurisdiction to hear the arbitration as a class, consolidated, representative, or private attorney general action or to consolidate, join, or otherwise combine the Disputes of different persons into one proceeding.

 

Exceptions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary above, (i) either of us may litigate in small claims court if the Dispute meets the requirements to be heard in small claims court (subject to the above restrictions on class, representative, and consolidated actions), and (ii) to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate any intellectual property or other proprietary, privacy, or publicity rights, or in the event of any threatened harm respecting the Service or Content, we (and/or the applicable licensor or third party rights holder) may seek an injunction or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in the informal dispute resolution process or arbitration described above.

 

Severability 

If any provision of this arbitration agreement is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then such provision shall be severed (and, to the extent permitted by law, considered modified so that it is valid and enforceable) and the balance of this arbitration agreement shall remain in effect.

 

DISCLAIMER OF REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN “AS IS,” “AS AVAILABLE,” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMISSIBLE PURSUANT TO APPLICABLE LAW, WE DISCLAIM ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, OR ARISING FROM COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE OR USAGE OF TRADE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR QUIET ENJOYMENT. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICE OR ANY OF ITS FUNCTIONS OR CONTENT IS ACCURATE OR COMPLETE, WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, AVAILABLE, SECURE, OR ERROR-FREE, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE SERVICE, CONTENT, OR ANY SERVERS THAT MAKE THEM AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER APPLIES TO OUR OWN SERVICE AND CONTENT AS WELL AS ANY USER CONTENT AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES AND WE ASSUME NO LIABILITY OR RESPONSIBILITY IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH USER CONTENT OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES OR ANY OF THEIR PRODUCTS, SERVICES, ELEMENTS OR FUNCTIONS.  

BY ACCESSING, USING, OR LINKING TO THE SERVICE, YOU ASSUME ALL RISKS TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.  

IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH THE SERVICE, CONTENT, USER CONTENT, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, OR THESE TERMS, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE ACCESSING AND USING THE SERVICE.

 

LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL COMPANY OR ITS AFFILIATES, SUCCESSORS, OR ASSIGNS, OR EACH OF THEIR RESPECTIVE EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, DIRECTORS, INVESTORS, VENDORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, OR LICENSORS, (COLLECTIVELY, THE “COMPANY PARTIES”) BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY OF ANY KIND INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE LOSSES OR DAMAGES, OR DAMAGES FOR COMPUTER, DEVICE, TECHNOLOGY, AND/OR SYSTEM FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, ERRORS OR OMISSIONS, OR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA, USE, BUSINESS OR GOOD-WILL, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, CONTENT, USER CONTENT, THIRD PARTY SERVICES, OR ANY MISUSE OR INABILITY TO USE ANY OF THE FOREGOING. THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER THE ASSERTED LIABILITY OR DAMAGES ARE BASED ON CONTRACT, INDEMNIFICATION, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, STATUTE OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, AND EVEN IF ANY EVENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES WERE FORSEEABLE OR COMPANY OR ANY COMPANY PARTIES HAD BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGE. IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE COMPANY PARTIES TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100).

BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR CERTAIN TYPES OF DAMAGES, SOME OF THE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH IN THESE TERMS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THE COMPANY PARTIES’ LIABILITY IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY THE LAW OF SUCH JURISDICTION. 

WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AGREE THAT ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES YOU CLAIM IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICE, CONTENT, OR ANY USER CONTENT WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND, AND THUS YOU SHALL NOT SEEK, OR BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY SUCH RELIEF.

 

INDEMNIFICATION 

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, you will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Company Parties from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs and expenses (including, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising out of or in connection with any of the following: (i) your User Content; (ii) your misuse of the Service or Content; (iii) your violation of any applicable laws, rules, or regulations, or of the rights of any third party (including, but not limited to, any intellectual property right, publicity, confidentiality, property or privacy right); (iv) your use of a Third Party Service; (v) any misrepresentation made by you; or (vi) any breach or alleged breach of these Terms by you. Company reserves the right to assume, at your expense, the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate with Company’s defense of any claim. You will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of Company.

 

ASSIGNMENT

Company may assign its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, to any party at any time without any notice. These Terms may not be assigned by you, and you may not delegate any of your duties under them, without the prior written consent of Company. These Terms are binding upon and shall ensure to the benefit of parties and their respective successors, heirs, executor, administrators, personal representatives and permitted assigns.

SEVERABILITY
