Subject to the Agreement, Qloo grants you a limited license to reproduce portions of Qloo Properties for the sole purpose of using the Services for your personal or internal business purposes.

    1.2. Third-Party Materials. As a part of Qloo Properties, you may have access to materials that are hosted by another party. You agree that it is impossible for Qloo to monitor such materials and that you access these materials at your own risk.

  2. Registration.

    2.1. Registering Your Account. In order to access certain features of Qloo Properties you may be required to sign up and become a Registered User. For purposes of the Agreement, a “Registered User” is a User who has registered an account on the Website (“Account”), has a valid account on the social networking service (“SNS”) through which the User has connected to the Website (each such account, a “Third-Party Account”).

    2.2. Access Through a SNS. If you access the Qloo Properties through a SNS as part of the functionality of the Website and/or the Services, you may link your Account with Third-Party Accounts, by allowing Qloo to access your Third-Party Account, as is permitted under the applicable terms and conditions that govern your use of each Third-Party Account. You represent that you are entitled to disclose your Third-Party Account login information to Qloo and/or grant Qloo access to your Third-Party Account (including, but not limited to, for use for the purposes described herein) without breach by you of any of the terms and conditions that govern your use of the applicable Third-Party Account and without obligating Qloo to pay any fees or making Qloo subject to any usage limitations imposed by such third-party service providers. By granting Qloo access to any Third-Party Accounts, you understand that Qloo may access, make available and store (if applicable) any information, data, text, software, music, sound, photographs, graphics, video, messages, tags and/or other materials accessible through Qloo Properties (collectively, “Content”) that you have provided to and stored in your Third-Party Account (“SNS Content”) so that it is available on and through Qloo Properties via your Account. Unless otherwise specified in the Agreement, all SNS Content shall be considered to be Your Content (as defined in Section 3.1) for all purposes of the Agreement. Depending on the Third-Party Accounts you choose and subject to the privacy settings that you have set in such Third-Party Accounts, personally identifiable information that you post to your Third-Party Accounts may be available on and through your Account on Qloo Properties. Please note that if a Third-Party Account or associated service becomes unavailable or Qloo’s access to such Third-Party Account is terminated by the third-party service provider, then SNS Content will no longer be available on and through Qloo Properties. PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH THE THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS ASSOCIATED WITH YOUR THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS IS GOVERNED SOLELY BY YOUR AGREEMENT(S) WITH SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS, AND QLOO DISCLAIMS ANY LIABILITY FOR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION THAT MAY BE PROVIDED TO IT BY SUCH THIRD-PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS IN VIOLATION OF THE PRIVACY SETTINGS THAT YOU HAVE SET IN SUCH THIRD-PARTY ACCOUNTS. Qloo makes no effort to review any SNS Content for any purpose, including but not limited to, for accuracy, legality or noninfringement, and Qloo is not responsible for any SNS Content.

    2.3. Registration Data. In registering an Account on the Website, you agree to (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the registration form (the “Registration Data”); and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. You represent that you are (l) at least sixteen (16) years old; (m) of legal age to form a binding contract; and (n) not a person barred from using Qloo Properties under the laws of the United States, your place of residence or any other applicable jurisdiction. You are responsible for all activities that occur under your Account. You agree that you shall monitor your Account to restrict use by minors, and you will accept full responsibility for any unauthorized use of Qloo Properties by minors. You may not share your Account or password with anyone, and you agree to (y) notify Qloo immediately of any unauthorized use of your password or any other breach of security; and (z) exit from your Account at the end of each session. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Qloo has reasonable grounds to suspect that any information you provide is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Qloo has the right to suspend or terminate your Account and refuse any and all current or future use of Qloo Properties (or any portion thereof). You agree not to create an Account using a false identity or information, or on behalf of someone other than yourself. You agree that you shall not have more than one Account per platform or SNS at any given time. Qloo reserves the right to remove or reclaim any usernames at any time and for any reason, including but not limited to, claims by a third party that a username violates the third party’s rights. You agree not to create an Account or use Qloo Properties if you have been previously removed by Qloo, or if you have been previously banned from any of Qloo Properties.

    2.4. Your Account.

  3. Responsibility for Content.

    3.1. Types of Content. You acknowledge that all Content, including Qloo Properties, is the sole responsibility of the party from whom such Content originated. This means that you, and not Qloo, are entirely responsible for all Content that you post, e-mail, transmit or otherwise make available (“Make Available”) through Qloo Properties (“Your Content”), and that you and other Users of Qloo Properties, and not Qloo, are similarly responsible for all Content that you and they Make Available through Qloo Properties (“User Content”).

    3.2. No Obligation to Pre-Screen Content. You acknowledge that Qloo has no obligation to pre-screen Content (including, but not limited to, User Content), although Qloo reserves the right in its sole discretion to pre-screen, refuse or remove any Content. By entering into the Agreement, you hereby provide your irrevocable consent to such monitoring. You acknowledge and agree that you have no expectation of privacy concerning the transmission of Your Content, including without limitation chat, text, or voice communications. In the event that Qloo pre-screens, refuses or removes any Content, you acknowledge that Qloo will do so for Qloo’s benefit, not yours. Without limiting the foregoing, Qloo shall have the right to remove any Content that violates the Agreement or is otherwise objectionable.

    3.3. Storage. Unless expressly agreed to by Qloo in writing elsewhere, Qloo has no obligation to store any of Your Content that you Make Available on Qloo Properties. Qloo has no responsibility or liability for the deletion or accuracy of any Content, including Your Content; the failure to store, transmit or receive transmission of Content; or the security, privacy, storage, or transmission of other communications originating with or involving use of Qloo Properties. Certain Services may enable you to specify the level at which such Services restrict access to Your Content. You are solely responsible for applying the appropriate level of access to Your Content. If you do not choose, the system may default to its most permissive setting. You agree that Qloo retains the right to create reasonable limits on Qloo’s use and storage of the Content, including Your Content, such as limits on file size, storage space, processing capacity, and similar limits described on the Website and as otherwise determined by Qloo in its sole discretion.

  4. Ownership.

    4.1. Qloo Properties. Except with respect to Your Content and User Content, you agree that Qloo and its suppliers own all rights, title and interest in Qloo Properties (including but not limited to, any games, titles, computer code, themes, objects, characters, character names, stories, dialogue, concepts, artwork, animations, sounds, musical compositions, audiovisual effects, methods of operation, moral rights, and documentation).

Please remember that other Users may search for, see, use, modify and reproduce any of Your Content that you submit to any “public” area of Qloo Properties. You warrant that the holder of any worldwide intellectual property right, including moral rights, in Your Content, has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above. You agree that you, not Qloo, are responsible for all of Your Content that you Make Available on or in Qloo Properties.

If your registration(s) with or ability to access Qloo Properties, or any other Qloo community is discontinued by Qloo due to your violation of any portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access Qloo Properties or any Qloo community through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those Qloo Properties to which your access has been terminated. In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, Qloo reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

  15. International Users. Qloo Properties can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country. These references do not imply that Qloo intends to announce such Services or Content in your country. Qloo Properties are controlled and offered by Qloo from its facilities in the United States of America. Qloo makes no representations that Qloo Properties are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who access or use Qloo Properties from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

  16. Dispute Resolution. Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully. It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Qloo and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.

    16.1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Qloo, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify,; and (2) you or Qloo may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents). This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the effective date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.

    16.2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent [include name and address of registered agent here]. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider. Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/. JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Qloo will pay them for you. In addition, Qloo will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.
    You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

    16.3. Authority of Arbitrator. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Qloo. The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would hasve. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.

    16.4. Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND QLOO HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. You and Qloo are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 above. An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would. However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

    16.5. Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this subsection’s limitations as to a given claim for relief, then the claim must be severed from the arbitration and brought into the State or Federal Courts located in the State of New York. All other claims shall be arbitrated.

    16.6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [email protected], within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement. Your notice must include your name and address, your Qloo username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Qloo account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement. If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

    16.7. Severability. Except as provided in subsection 16.5, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

    16.8. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Qloo.

    16.9. Modification. Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Qloo makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change within thirty (30) days of such change becoming effective by writing Qloo at the following address: [email protected].

    17.8. Governing Law. The Terms and any action related thereto will be governed and interpreted by and under the laws of the State of NEW YORK, consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act, without giving effect to any principles that provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to the AGREEMENT.

    17.9. Choice of Language. It is the express wish of the parties that the Agreement and all related documents have been drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la presente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattacent soient rediges en anglais.

    17.10. Notice. Where Qloo requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Qloo with your most current e-mail address. In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Qloo is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Agreement, Qloo’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice. You may give notice to Qloo at the following address: [email protected].
