RIGHTS TO THE CONTENT ON THE SERVICE
All content and components of the Service other than User Content (“Service Content”), including without limitation, the software, text, photos, video and audio content, graphics, interactive features and advertisements, and all trademarks, service marks and logos used in the Service, are owned by the Operator, or are licensed to the Operator subject to copyrights or other intellectual property rights held by others. The Operator reserves all rights to the Service Content, User Content, and any other component or content of the Service not expressly granted to the User by these TOS.
The Operator provides the Service for the personal, non-commercial use of viewers, visitors, subscribers or potential subscribers of the Service. The User is granted a personal, non-exclusive, nontransferable license to view, on a single computer or other viewing device only, the content of the Service. The Operator reserves the right to limit the amount of materials viewed or accessible. Commercial use of any content or other component of the Service, other than the User’s own commercial use of User Content the User has uploaded, is strictly prohibited. In addition, except with respect to User Content that the User has uploaded, the User may not: (i) modify any of the materials provided by the Service; (ii) copy, reproduce, publicly display or perform, distribute, or prepare derivative works from any of the content or other component of the Service; (iii) remove, modify or alter any copyright, trademark, or other attribution or proprietary notice from any of the materials used in the Service; or (iv) otherwise transfer any material provided through the Service to any other person or entity. The Operator reserves the right to terminate this license at any time, in particular if the User breaches or violates any provision of these TOS, in which case the User will be obliged to immediately destroy any materials it has obtained from the Service.
By submitting, posting, or communicating User Content using the Service, the User grants to the Operator an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, royalty-free, worldwide license, including for commercial purposes, to: (1) use, copy, publicly perform, publicly display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part) and distribute the User Content in or through any medium now known or hereafter invented, for any purpose; (2) to prepare derivative works using the User Content, or to incorporate it into other works, for any purpose; and (3) to grant and authorize sublicenses of any or all of the foregoing rights.
The Operator does not assert any ownership over any User Content; rather, subject to the rights granted to the Operator in these TOS, the User retains full ownership of all its User Content and any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights associated with its User Content.
The Operator may obtain and exercise intellectual property rights over compilations, collective works, or derivative works that incorporate User Content the User has provided. In that case, the rights the Operator obtains will apply only to the compilation, collective work, or derivative work; as between the Operator and the User, subject to the rights granted to the Operator in these TOS, the User will retain full ownership of and rights to its User Content.
By submitting or communicating any User Content using the Service, the User also authorizes the Operator to record and make such copies thereof as it deems necessary in order to facilitate the posting, maintenance, and storage of the User Content as part of the Service.
OBJECTIONABLE OR INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
By its very nature, the Service may include offensive, harmful, inaccurate or otherwise offensive or objectionable material. In some cases, the Service may include content that has been mislabeled or is otherwise deceptive. The User will use caution and common sense and exercise proper judgment when using the Service. The Operator does not endorse, support, represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy, or reliability of any content provided by the Service. The User acknowledges that any use of or reliance on material provided by the Service will be at its own risk.
The Operator may review any content provided by the Service, including any User Content uploaded using the Service, and reserves the right to refuse to distribute any such content or to remove any content from the Service, in its sole discretion. However, the User acknowledges and agrees that the Operator is not obliged to remove any content, including User Content, from the Service, unless and until it is established pursuant to the requirements of the law that the content is illegal or should be removed for any other reason.
If the User believes any content provided by the Service is illegal or violates these TOS, the User may inform the Operator by using its contact form. The Operator will review the User’s message and the content to which the User objects (provided it is still available through the Service). The Operator may remove the content if, in the Operator’s judgment, it is illegal or otherwise inappropriate. The User understands that deciding whether content is inappropriate is a judgment call, and that the Operator is not legally responsible for content that it does not originate. Neither is the Operator legally responsible for removing content that it deems inappropriate from the Service.
The Operator reserves the right to access, read, preserve, disclose and otherwise process any information as it reasonably believes is necessary to do any of the following: (1) satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or legitimate governmental request; (2) enforce these TOS, including investigation of potential violations hereof; (3) detect, prevent, or otherwise address fraud, security or technical issues; (4) respond to user support requests; or (5) protect the rights, property or safety of the Operator, its users and the general public. The User agrees that the Operator will not be liable for exercising or failing to exercise any of these rights.
COPYRIGHT
The Operator respects the intellectual property rights of others. The Operator prohibits Users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting materials that violate the intellectual property rights of others. If any copyright owner or an agent thereof believes that any content of the Service infringes upon its copyrights, he may submit a notification of alleged copyright infringement (“Infringement Notice”) in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by following the directions on the Operator’s DMCA Page.
Upon receipt by the Operator of an Infringement Notification the Operator will proceed as follows:
If the Infringement Notice concerns the User Content of a User against whose account no more than four Infringement Events, as defined hereunder, have been recorded, the Operator will forward the Infringement Notice to the User who has at any time uploaded the relevant User Content and request that User to provide the Operator’s designated copyright agent within seventy-two (72) hours after forwarding the Infringement Notice to the User with a proper counter-notice that complies in every respect with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) (“Counter-Notice”).
For each event of the User failing to provide the Operator’s designated copyright agent within seventy-two (72) hours after receipt of the Infringement Notice by the User with a Counter-Notice an “Infringement Event” will be recorded against the User’s account. Upon each Infringement Event the Operator has the right to reveal all information in its possession concerning the User’s account and usage of the Service to law enforcement authorities, copyright owners and other parties.
By the User’s use of the Service, the User acknowledges and agrees that the Operator’s belief the User is a repeat copyright infringer may be rationally based upon the occurrence of five or more Infringement Events, where: (i) the Infringement Notices are directed towards materials that the User has submitted for publication on the Service; and (ii) the Infringement Notices do not concern what the Operator reasonably believes to be “fair uses” of copyrightable material as determined under 17 U.S.C. § 107.
In the event that a fifth Infringement Event is recorded against the User’s account that account will be blocked from submitting any more materials to the Service. The Operator, however, in certain circumstances and in its sole discretion has the right to do so upon the first or any later Infringement Event and may also in its sole discretion delete the User’s account.
NAMES AND TRADEMARKS
The logos and product or service names used for the Service or otherwise onour are trademarks owned by the Operator. All other trademarks used in the Service or otherwise onour are trademarks of their respective owners and the Operator’s reference to them does not imply or indicate any approval or endorsement by their owners unless such approval or endorsement is expressly made.
SPONSORS, ADVERTISERS AND THIRD PARTIES
The Service may provide links to sponsor, advertiser, or other third-party websites that are not owned or controlled by the Operator. Inclusion of, linking to, or permitting the use or installation of any third-party website, application, software, advertising or other content does not imply any approval or endorsement thereof by the Operator. The Operator has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for any such third-party content including the privacy policies and practices of any third parties. By accessing or using the Service, the User agrees to release the Operator from any and all liability arising from the User’s use of any third-party website, content, service, or software accessed through the Service.
The User’s communications or dealings with, or participation in promotions of, sponsors, advertisers, or other third parties found through the Service, are solely between the User and such third parties. The User agrees that the Operator will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any dealings with such sponsors, third parties or advertisers, or as the result of their presence in the Service.
PRIVACY
As a condition of using the Service, the User agrees to the terms of the Operator’s Privacy Policy as applicable at the time of the User’s use of the Service. The Privacy Policy may be revised from time to time without notice to the User other than appearing on the Service. The Privacy Policy will indicate when it was last revised. It is the User’s responsibility to regularly check the Service for any revisions of the Privacy Policy. The User’s continued use of the Service constitutes the User’s agreement to all revisions to the Privacy Policy.
TERMINATION
The Operator may, in its sole discretion, terminate the User’s access to the Service, delete any content or information that the User has posted or communicated through the Service, and/or prohibit the User from using the Service, at any time, with or without notice, and for any reason, including but not limited to violation of these TOS.
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES
The User expressly understands and agrees that its use of the Service is at the User’s sole risk. The Service is provided on an as-is and as-available basis. The Operator expressly disclaims any and all warranties of any kind for the Service, whether express or implied, including, but not limited to the implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.
In particular, and without limitation, the Operator makes no warranty that: (1) the Service will meet the User’s requirements; (2) the Service will be uninterrupted, timely, secure and error-free; (3) the results that may be obtained from the use of the Service will be accurate and reliable; (4) the quality of any products, services, information or other material obtained by the User through the Service will meet the User’s expectations; (5) any errors in the contents or components of the Service will be corrected; or (6) the Service is free of viruses and other harmful components.
No advice or information, oral or written, obtained by the User from the Operator will create any warranty not expressly stated in these TOS.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
The User expressly understands and agrees that the Operator will not be liable for: (1) any criminal or other offences or any non-compliance with applicable laws the User is accused of or convicted for and; (2) any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data or other intangible losses (even if the Operator has been advised of the possibility of such damages), in each case resulting from the use by the User of or its inability to use the Service.
In particular, and without limitation, the Operator will have no liability for damages arising from: (1) accessing, downloading, or otherwise obtaining any content or component of the Service, even if it results in the inadvertent transfer of harmful computer code, such as viruses, malware, or spyware; (2) unauthorized access to or disclosure or alteration of any of the User’s postings, transmissions or data; (3) content or conduct of any third party provided through the Service; or (4) as otherwise indicated in these TOS.
Under no circumstances will the Operator’s total liability for any and all claims by the User arising out of or related to these TOS or the use of the Service exceed the greater of: (1) the amount paid by the User to the Operator for using the Service and; (2) the amount of US$ 100
EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS
Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the limitations on liability and damages contained in these TOS may not apply to the User and these TOS will apply to the furthest extent permitted by the jurisdiction applying for the relationship between the Operator and the User.
The provisions of these TOS that provide for limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, or exclusion of damages allocate risks between the User and the Operator. That allocation is reflected in the delivery of free content to the User by the Operator, and is an essential element of the transactions between the User and the Operator. Each of the provisions of these TOS is severable and independent of all other provisions of these TOS. The limitations of liability, disclaimers of warranties, or exclusion of damages in these TOS will apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy under these TOS.
INDEMNIFICATION
The User agrees to hold harmless and indemnify the Operator, and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, agents, and employees from and against any third-party claim arising from or in any way related to the User’s use of the Service, including any liability or expense arising from all claims, losses, damages (actual and consequential), suits, judgments, litigation costs and attorneys’ fees, of every kind and nature. The Operator will make reasonable efforts to provide the User with written notice of any such claim, suit or action, but the failure of the Operator to provide such notice will not relieve the User of these obligations.
SEVERABILITY
I If any provision of the TOS is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the User and the Operator nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the their intentions as reflected in the relevant provision, and the other provisions of the TOS remain in full force and effect.
NON-WAIVER
The failure of the Operator to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
CHOICE OF LAW
The agreement created by these TOS, and any dispute arising from or relating to these TOS or the provision or use of the Service, will be governed by the laws of the United States and the State of Illinois, without giving effect to conflict of laws provisions.
ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
The User and the Operator agree that disputes between them will be resolved through binding and final arbitration instead of through court proceedings. The User and the Operator hereby waive any right to a jury trial of any dispute between them that is subject to this arbitration agreement. Neither the User nor the Operator may bring a claim against the other as a class action. Neither the User nor the Operator may act as a private attorney general or class representative, nor participate as a member of a class of claimants with respect to any dispute or claim between them.
As used in this Clause 19, the terms “Operator” and “User” include the Operator’s and the User’s respective owners, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, agents, predecessors in interest, successors, attorneys, and assigns. This Clause 19 will be interpreted broadly, and will encompass all disputes between the User and the Operator, including, but not limited to claims that relate in any way to the relationship between the User and the Operator, the User’s use of the Service, and any advertising or content of the Service, regardless of legal or equitable theory.
This Clause 19 does not preclude the User from seeking action by United States federal, state, or local government agencies. Such agencies can, if the law allows, seek relief from the Operator on the User’s behalf. Moreover, the User and the Operator have the right to bring qualifying claims in small claims court.
Arbitration of any dispute or claim must be initiated within two years, or within the period of time provided by applicable statute, after the date on which the basis for the dispute or claim first arises. The arbitration will be conducted by the JAMS Foundation dispute resolution service pursuant to the JAMS Arbitration Administrative Policies and, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the parties, to the applicable JAMS Arbitration Rules and Procedures. To initiate arbitration, the User or the Operator must submit a claim to JAMS, 71 S. Wacker-Drive Suite 3090, Chicago, IL 60606, with notice to the other party by certified mail.
These TOS may evidence a transaction in interstate commerce, and thus the arbitration will be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16 et seq. (“FAA”). In addition, the arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) in effect on the date of commencement of the arbitration, as modified by these TOS. The arbitration will be conducted by a single arbitrator. The arbitration will be based entirely on the written submissions of the parties and documents submitted to the arbitrator, unless the parties agree or the arbitrator orders otherwise. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not join the User’s claim(s) or the Operator’s claim(s) with any other claim, and may not preside over any representative or class proceedings. The payment of fees and other costs to JAMS will be governed by the JAMS rules.
In issuing any award, the arbitrator will issue a written decision that is sufficiently detailed to inform both the User and the Operator of the reasons for his or her decision. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only as necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Any award may be confirmed and enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction. All post-award proceedings will be governed by the FAA.
ENTIRE AGREEMENT
These TOS, together with the Operator’s Privacy Policy and the Operator’s DMCA Page, constitute the entire agreement between the User and the Operator and govern the User’s use of the Service. The User may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when the User uses or purchases certain other services, such as affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software. In order to determine what those obligations may be, the User understands and agrees that it is its responsibility to review any and all terms and conditions of usage and privacy policies with respect to such service, content, or software.
