11. THIRD-PARTY MATERIALS AND WEBSITES: Certain Services, including without limitation the Website, may include access to materials or information created by or obtained via third parties, or links to other websites that have such items.

The indemnified party shall provide prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any such Claim immediately upon receipt thereof. Once notice is given, the indemnifying party shall have the right to assume, in its sole discretion, the exclusive defense and control of the matter or determine whether (and how) to resolve it amicably.

19. TERMINATION: If you fail (or if FilmBreak suspects that you failed) to comply with the letter or spirit of any Term, or if you become insolvent, or if you initiate bankruptcy proceedings, or if FilmBreak is otherwise so compelled by law or unanticipated technical or security issues, FilmBreak may terminate, suspend or restrict any Term at its sole discretion and without notice to you.

20. UNSOLICITED SUBMISSION POLICY: Unless expressly requested by FilmBreak in writing, FilmBreak will not consider, review or evaluate unsolicited ideas, "pitches," scripts, treatments, compositions, business models, product or service descriptions or any other confidential or proprietary information that you submit to FilmBreak. This policy serves to avoid misunderstandings in the unlikely event that any of FilmBreak's business or creative activities have some coincidental similarities with the activities of another. If, in spite of this policy you still choose to submit any such items to FilmBreak , then you specifically agree that: (1) your entire submission will automatically become the sole and exclusive property of FilmBreak, and you will not receive any form of compensation for it; (2) FilmBreak will have no obligation to return your submission or respond to you in any way; (3) FilmBreak will have no obligation to keep your submission confidential or secret; and (4) FilmBreak has a royalty-free, unrestricted, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive and fully transferable, assignable and sublicensable right and license to copy, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform, or display your submission for any purpose whatsoever.

Further, to the extent that you may choose to communicate such items to another user in the FilmBreak community, you act completely at your own risk and FilmBreak will in no way be responsible for ensuring that the recipient considers, reviews or evaluates your submission, or compensates you for them or preserves their confidentiality.

NOTWITHSTANDING THE ABOVE, SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW FOR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR SUCH DAMAGES, SO THE FOREGOING MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

23. PRIVACY: FilmBreak is committed to protecting your privacy. Please visit http://www.filmbreak.com/privacypolicy to learn about the practices FilmBreak follows with respect to the information you provide.

24. GENERAL:

Governing Law, Disputes: The validity, construction and/or interpretation of any Term shall be governed by the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules. Any dispute shall be resolved by a sole arbitrator in Los Angeles, California under the rules of JAMS Endispute (http://www.jamsadr.com). Both parties acknowledge that they have been advised by counsel or had sufficient opportunity to do so, and willingly submit to arbitration and relinquish their rights to a trial by jury. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek provisional or other emergency relief, or may obtain judgment on any arbitration award in the competent courts of the State of California, located in the County of Los Angeles, and both you and FilmBreak irrevocably submit to personal jurisdiction and venue for such purposes. If it becomes necessary for FilmBreak to take legal action to enforce any Term or any right obtained or obligation incurred thereunder, you agree to reimburse FilmBreak for its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.

Remedies: Unless otherwise specified, each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy, and the election of any one or more of such remedies shall not constitute a waiver of the right to pursue any other available remedies.

Headings: Any headings and subheadings are inserted for convenience only, and shall have no effect on or over the meaning or construction of any Term.

No Implied Waivers or Amendments: A waiver must be expressly stated in writing to have any effect. Further, no Term may be amended or altered unless in writing.

Entire Agreement: These Terms collectively represent the entire agreement and understanding between you and FilmBreak and supersede any other agreement or understanding (written, oral or implied) that you and FilmBreak may have had. Any statement, inducement, promise, covenant or condition not expressly found either in these Terms shall be deemed as void.

Force Majeure: Neither you nor FilmBreak will be deemed to have any liability whatsoever to the other or to any third party for any failure of performance hereunder occasioned by an act of God, force of nature, war or warlike activity, insurrection or civil commotion, labor dispute, transportation delay, governmental regulatory action whether or not with proper authority or other cause similar or dissimilar to the foregoing and beyond its reasonable control, provided the affected party gives prompt notice to the other party.

Severability: Each Term shall be deemed to be severable. If any Term or portion thereof is found to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall in no way effect the validity or enforceability of any other Term.

Notices: Both you and FilmBreak may give notice to one another as follows: (i) electronic mail transmission; (ii) first class mail or certified mail, postage prepaid; (iii) or express courier, cost prepaid. Unless otherwise specified, if such notice is sent to FilmBreak it should be directed to:

Assignment/Sublicensing: These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred, assigned or sublicensed by you without FilmBreak's express written consent. On the other hand, FilmBreak may assign, sublicense or otherwise transfer these Terms or any individual Term, at its option, without restriction and without prior notice to you.

Survival: Following termination of these Terms and/or your commercial relationship with FilmBreak generally, any Term logically extended beyond such termination shall survive to the fullest extent necessary to allow you and FilmBreak to enforce any rights obtained or obligations incurred hereunder. For purposes of clarity, and without limitation, the license granted to FilmBreak and its users in Section 4, the indemnity provisions found in Section 18, and each provision of this Section 24 would logically extend beyond such termination.

Third-Party Beneficiaries: No Term is meant or intended to benefit any third party.

  • ALL LEGAL AGREEMENTS (INCLUDING ALL APPLICABLE TERMS) AND REGULATORY DISCLOSURES AND COMMUNICATIONS ASSOCIATED THEREWITH;
  • NOTICES CONCERING A CHANGE, ADDITION OR DELETION OF A PARTICULAR TERM;

  • AN INTERNET BROWSER AND AN ACTIVE DATA CONNECTION TO THE INTERNET;
  • SUFFICIENT DATA STORAGE CAPACITY ON YOUR COMPUTER OR OTHER DEVICE TO VIEW AND RETAIN THE COMMUNICATION.
