We agree that in those jurisdictions (e.g. Japan), in which any exercise of the right granted in this Agreement (e.g., the right to make Adaptations) would be deemed to be a distortion, mutilation, modification or other derogatory action prejudicial to the Original Author’s honor and reputation, we hereby waive and will not assert, as appropriate, such rights of the Original Author, to the fullest extent permitted by the applicable national law, to enable You to reasonably exercise Your right to make Adaptations under this License but not otherwise.

(iii) You will comply with any attribution and usage requirements, including by indicating any attribution requirements clearly.

 

4. Distributor License

When acting as a Distributor, You agree to the terms and restrictions of this Section 4.

The above rights may be exercised in all media and formats whether now known or hereafter devised. The above rights include the right to make such modifications as are technically necessary to exercise the rights in other media and formats.

 

(b) The licenses granted pursuant to this Section 4 are expressly made subject to and limited by the following restrictions:

(i)  Any Distribution of FLD licensed under Section 4 made pursuant to this Agreement must include with every copy Distributed, a copy of, or the Uniform Resource Identifier (“URI”) for this, Agreement in the format prescribed at https://grcschema.org/thing/License. As a Distributor, You may not:

(1) offer or impose any terms on the FLD that restrict this Agreement or the ability of the recipient of the FLD to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of the License, or

(2) impose any technological measures on the FLD that restrict the ability of a recipient of the FLD to exercise the rights granted to that recipient under the terms of this License.

(ii) Machine readable forms of FLD made available on the Federated Platform be used only to create human readable content for display to Users but may not be otherwise Adapted, Distributed, or sublicensed.

(iii) This Section 4 applies to FLD that is incorporated in a Collection, but the presence of FLD in a Collection does not require the Collection itself to be made subject to the terms of this License.

(iv) If You Distribute or publicly perform FLD, any Adaptations, or Collections, You must, unless a request has been made and granted pursuant to this Section 4, keep intact all copyright notices for the FLD and provide, in a manner reasonable to the medium or means Consumers are utilizing: (1) the name of the Original Author (or pseudonym, if applicable) if supplied, and/or if the Original Author and/or we designate another party or parties (e.g., a sponsor institute, publishing entity, journal) for attribution (“Attribution Parties”) in the copyright notice, terms of service or by other reasonable means, the name of such party or parties; (2) the title of the FLD if supplied; (3) to the extent reasonably practicable, the URI, if any, associated with the FLD, unless such URI does not refer to the copyright notice or licensing information for the FLD; and (4) consistent with Section 4(a), in the case of an Adaptation, a credit identifying the use of the FLD in the Adaptation (e.g., “French translation of the FLD by Original Author,” or “Screenplay based on original FLD by Original Author”). The credit required by this Section may be implemented in any reasonable manner; provided, however, that in the case of an Adaptation or Collection, at a minimum such credit will appear in a manner at least as prominent as the credits for the other contributing authors. For the avoidance of doubt, You may use the credit required by this Section only for the purpose of attribution in the manner set out above and, by exercising the rights under this License as a Distributor, You may not implicitly or explicitly assert or imply any connection with, sponsorship, or endorsement by us, any Licensor, or the Original Author and/or Attribution Parties, as appropriate, of Your use of FLD, without the separate, express prior written permission of such party.

(vi) You may Distribute FLD only to end users but may not grant any rights to redistribute such FLD.

 

5. License Schemes

In those jurisdictions in which the right to collect royalties through any statutory or compulsory licensing scheme cannot be waived, we reserve the exclusive right to collect such royalties for any exercise by You of the rights granted under this License.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of implied warranties, so such exclusion may not apply to You.

 

7. Termination

 

(a) Each License and the rights granted hereunder will terminate automatically upon any breach by You of this Agreement or any License. Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from Consumers under any License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses.

 

(b) We may terminate Your rights under this Agreement and the Licenses in their entirety if You materially breach a provision of this Agreement and fail to cure such breach within thirty (30) days after receiving written notice of such breach. Individuals or entities who have received Adaptations or Collections from Consumers under any License, however, will not have their licenses terminated provided such individuals or entities remain in full compliance with those licenses.

 

(c) We reserve the right to release FLD under different license terms or to stop distributing FLD at any time; provided, however that any such election will not serve to withdraw any License (or any other license that has been, or is required to be, granted under the terms of such License), and such License will continue in full force and effect unless terminated as stated above.

 

8. Ownership; Limited License

 

FLD, including the text, graphics, images, photographs, videos, illustrations and other content contained therein, are owned by us and are protected under both United States and foreign laws. Except as explicitly stated in this Agreement, we reserve all rights in and to FLD. Any use of FLD other than as specifically authorized herein, without our prior written permission, is strictly prohibited, and will terminate the license granted herein and violate our intellectual property rights.

You may voluntarily post, submit or otherwise communicate to us any questions, comments, suggestions, ideas, original or creative materials or other information about FLD (collectively, “Feedback”). We may use such Feedback for any purpose, commercial or otherwise, without acknowledgment or compensation to You, including to develop, copy, publish, or improve the Feedback in our sole discretion. You understand that we may treat Feedback as nonconfidential.

 

10. Indemnification

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor and our officers, directors, agents, partners and employees (individually and collectively, the “Licensor Parties”) from and against any losses, liabilities, claims, demands, damages, expenses or costs (“Claims”) arising out of or related to:

 

(a) Your access to or use of FLD;

(b) Your violation of this Agreement; or

(c) Your violation, misappropriation or infringement of any rights of another (including intellectual property rights or privacy rights).

You also agree that the Licensor Parties will have control of the defense or settlement, at Licensor’s sole option, of any third-party Claims. This indemnity is in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other indemnities set forth in a written agreement between You and Licensor or the other Licensor Parties.

 

11. Disclaimers

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Your use of FLD is at Your sole risk. Except as otherwise provided in writing by us or limited by applicable law, FLD and any content therein are provided “as is” and “as available” without warranties of any kind, either express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, title, and non-infringement.

(a) To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, we will not be liable to You under any theory of liability—whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, warranty, or otherwise—for any indirect, consequential, exemplary, incidental, punitive or special damages or lost profits, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages.

 

(b) Our total liability for any claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or FLD, regardless of the form of the action, is limited to the amount paid by You to use FLD in the prior 3 months.

 

(c) The limitations set forth in this Section 12 will not limit or exclude liability for our gross negligence, fraud or intentional misconduct or for any other matters in which liability cannot be excluded or limited under applicable law. Additionally, some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitations or exclusions may not apply to You.

 

13. Release

 

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, You release us from responsibility, liability, claims, demands and/or damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown (including claims of negligence), arising out of or related to disputes between Users and the acts or omissions of third parties. If You are a consumer who resides in California, You hereby waive Your rights under California Civil Code § 1542, which provides: “A general release does not extend to claims that the creditor or releasing party does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release and that, if known by him or her, would have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor or released party.”

 

14. Transfer and Processing Data

 

In order for us to provide FLD, You agree that We may process, transfer and store information about You in the United States and other countries, where You may not have the same rights and protections as You do under local law.

 

15. Dispute Resolution; Binding Arbitration

 

Please read the following section carefully because it requires You to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with us and limits the manner in which You can seek relief from us, unless You opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes You from suing in court or having a jury trial.

 

(a) No Representative Actions. You and NF agree that any dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, FLD, or our Federated Platforms is personal to You and NF and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.

 

(b) Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which You or NF seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of Your billing address or disputes in which You or NF seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property, You waive their rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to this Agreement, FLD, or our Federated Platforms, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, “Disputes”) resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that You have against us, You agree to first contact us and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of Your claim (“Notice”) to us by email at licensing@unifiedcompliance.com or by certified mail addressed to 10161 Park Run Drive, Suite 150, Las Vegas, NV 89145. The Notice must (i) include Your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (ii) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (iii) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to You will be similar in form to that described above. If You and NF cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in Las Vegas, Nevada unless You are a consumer, in which case You may elect to hold the arbitration in Your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 15, a “consumer” means a person using FLD or our Federated Platforms for personal, family or household purposes. You and NF agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that You have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive Your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.

 

(c) You and NF agree that this Agreement affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 15 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the “FAA”), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, this Agreement and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.

 

(d) The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. The arbitrator, NF, and You will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

 

(e) You and NF agree that for any arbitration You initiate, You will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if You are a consumer), and we will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by us, we will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and NF agree that the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.

 

(f) Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that You and NF will not have the right to assert the claim.

 

(g) You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date You first accepted the terms of this Section 15 by sending an email to licensing@unifiedcompliance.com. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include Your full name and address and clearly indicate Your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, You are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 16.

 

(h) If any portion of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from this Agreement; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 15 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 15; and (iii) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration. Further, if any part of this Section 15 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 15 will be enforceable.

 

16. Governing Law and Venue

Any dispute arising from this Agreement and Your use of FLD or our Federated Platforms will be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of California, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, without regard to conflict of law rules or principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Any dispute between the parties that is not subject to arbitration or cannot be heard in small claims court will be resolved in the state or federal courts of the State of California and the United States sitting in San Francisco, California.

17. Modifying and Terminating FLD

We reserve the right to modify FLD or to suspend or stop providing all or portions of FLD at any time. You also have the right to stop using FLD at any time. We are not responsible for any loss or harm related to Your inability to access or use FLD.

18. Amendments

We may make changes to this Agreement from time to time. If we make changes, we will provide You with notice of such changes, such as by sending an email, or updating the date at the top of this Agreement. Unless we say otherwise in our notice, the amended Agreement will be effective immediately, and Your continued use of FLD after we provide such notice will confirm Your acceptance of the changes. If You do not agree to the amended Agreement, You must stop using FLD.

19. Severability

If any provision or part of a provision of this Agreement is unlawful, void or unenforceable, that provision or part of the provision is deemed severable from this Agreement and does not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

20. Miscellaneous

Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not operate as a waiver of such right or provision. This Agreement reflects the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements, representations, statements and understandings of the parties. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Use of the word “including” will be interpreted to mean “including without limitation.” Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement is intended solely for the benefit of the parties and are not intended to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other person or entity. You agree that communications and transactions between us may be conducted electronically.
