(iv) acknowledge that certain parts of the Mobile Services require phone service, data access or text messaging capability. Except as otherwise noted, carrier rates for phone, data and text messaging may apply; and

 

(v)  acknowledge that we may, in our sole discretion and at any time, change, suspend, remove or disable access to content or other materials comprising part of the Mobile Services at any time without notice. In no event will we be liable for making these changes. We may also impose limits on the use or access of certain features or portions of the Mobile Services, in any case without notice or liability.

 

Any mobile application(s) made available by us (the “Apps”) are licensed, not sold, to you. Your license to the Apps is subject to your prior acceptance of this Agreement and you agree that this Agreement will apply to the Apps that you license. Your license to any Apps under this Agreement is granted by us. Any App that is subject to the license granted under this Agreement is referred to herein as a “Licensed Application.” We reserve all rights in and to any Licensed Applications not expressly granted to you under this Agreement.

 

Scope of License

 

This license granted to you for any Licensed Application is a limited, non-exclusive and nontransferable license to (i) download, install and use the Licensed Application for your personal, non-commercial use on a single, compatible mobile device that you own or control (“Mobile Device”), as permitted by this Agreement and subject to any additional rules and restrictions imposed upon you by third parties, such as rules and restrictions imposed by your mobile device provider and your mobile application store provider (“Third-Party Rules”); and (ii) access, stream, download and use on such Mobile Device the Content and the Mobile Services made available in or otherwise accessible through the Licensed Applications, strictly in accordance with this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, this license does not allow you to use any Licensed Application on any Mobile Device that you do not own or control, and you may not distribute or make any Licensed Application available over a network where it could be used by multiple devices at the same time. You may not rent, lease, lend, sell, transfer, redistribute or sublicense any Licensed Application and, if you sell or otherwise transfer your Mobile Device to a third party, you must remove each Licensed Application from the Mobile Device before doing so. You may not copy (except as expressly permitted by this license and the Third-Party Rules), decompile, reverse-engineer, disassemble, attempt to derive the source code of, modify or create derivative works of any Licensed Application, any Updates (as defined below), or any part of any Licensed Application or Update (except as and only to the extent that any foregoing restriction is prohibited by applicable law or to the extent as may be permitted by the licensing terms governing use of any open-sourced components included in the Licensed Applications). Any attempt to do so is a violation of our rights and the rights of our licensors. If you breach this restriction, you may be subject to prosecution and damages. You also consent to any restrictions set by THEATER EARS regarding the accessing of content which may include restrictions based on geographic location, time, country, device status, or other. 

 

The terms of this license will govern any Updates, unless such Update is accompanied by a separate license in which case the terms of that license will govern.

 

Consent to Use of Data

 

You acknowledge that, when you download, install or use any Licensed Application, we may collect and use (i) automatic means (including, for example, cookies and web beacons) to collect information about your Mobile Device and about your use of the Licensed Application; and (ii) technical data and related information that is gathered periodically to facilitate the provision of software updates, product support and other services to you (if any) related to the Licensed Application. We may use this information to improve our Services or to provide other products, services or technologies to you and as otherwise set forth in our Privacy Policy.

 

Termination

 

This license to use these Licensed Applications is effective until terminated by you or us. You may terminate this license by deleting the Licensed Application and all copies of such Licensed Application from your Mobile Device. We may terminate this license at any time for any or no reason without notice. Additionally, this license will terminate automatically without notice from us if you fail to comply with any term of this Agreement. Upon termination of this license, you will cease all use of such Licensed Application and destroy all copies, full or partial, of such Licensed Application. Any termination of this license will not limit any of our rights or remedies available at law or in equity.

 

Updates

 

We may, from time to time, in our sole discretion develop and provide Licensed Application updates, which may include upgrades, bug fixes, patches and other error corrections or new features (collectively, including related documentation, “Updates”). Updates may also modify or delete in their entirety certain features and functionality. You agree that we have no obligation to provide any Updates or to continue to provide or enable any particular features or functionality. Based on your Mobile Device settings, when your Mobile Device is connected to the Internet either:

 

1.        the Licensed Application will automatically download and install all available Updates; or

 

1.        you may receive notice of or be prompted to download and install available Updates.

 

You will promptly download and install all Updates. You hereby acknowledge and agree that the Licensed Application or portions of such Licensed Application may not properly operate should you fail to do so.

 

Export Regulation

 

Our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) may be subject to United States export control laws, including the US Export Administration Act and its associated rules, restrictions and regulations. You will not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export or release any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) to, or make any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export or release is prohibited by law, rule or regulation. You will comply with all applicable laws, restrictions, regulations and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing or otherwise making any of our Services (including any Content and Licensed Application) available outside of the United States (which excludes all United States territories and possessions).

 

International Users

 

Our Services are controlled, operated and administered by us from our offices within the United States of America. We make no representations that our Services are permissible, appropriate or available for use in other jurisdictions. If you access any Services from a location outside the United States of America, then you do so by your own volition and you are solely responsible for compliance with all laws, regulations and rules (including local laws and any applicable United States export control laws). You will not use our Services or any Content in a manner prohibited by any applicable state, federal, international or local laws, rules, restrictions or regulations.

 

Copyright Infringement

 

It is our policy to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, title 17, United States Code, Section 512, including responding to notices of alleged copyright infringement, and other applicable intellectual property laws. We may, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of ours or others.

We Make No Representations or Warranties Regarding our Services or the Content

 

You expressly agree that your use of our Services (including any Mobile Services and any Licensed Applications), the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services is at your sole risk. It is your sole responsibility to independently evaluate the accuracy, correctness or completeness of our Services, the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services. Our Services (including any Mobile Services and any Licensed Applications), the Content and all information, content, materials, products and services included on or associates with our Services are provided to you on an “as-is” and “as available” basis. We make no representations or warranties of any kind, express or implied, as to the operation of these Services (including any Mobile Services and any Licensed Applications), the Content or the information, content, materials, products or services included on or associated with our Services, including their accuracy, correctness, completeness, safety, reliability, title, timeliness, non-infringement, merchantability, conformity or fitness for a particular purpose.

 

Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services. You further acknowledge that operation of and access to our Services may be interfered with as a result of technical issues or numerous factors outside of our control. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, we make no representation, warranty or guarantee that our Services or the Content that may be available for downloading from our Services is free of infection from any viruses, worms, Trojan horses, trap doors, back doors, easter eggs, time bombs, cancelbots or other code or computer programming routines that contain contaminating or destructive properties or that are intended to damage, detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any system, data or personal information.

Limitations on Our Liability

 

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY set forth in this Agreement or as otherwise expressly STATED BY US IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE, in no event ARE WE responsible or liable to you or any third party, whether RESULTING, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, FROM BREACH OF contract, warranty, tort (including STRICT LIABILITY AND negligence) or otherwise, for any damages, including special, incidental, EXEMPLARY, indirect, PUNITIVE or consequential damages that include damages for any PERSONAL OR BODILY INJURY, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, INJURIES TO PROPERTY AND loss of profit, revenue or business, as a direct or indirect result of: (i) your breach or violation of any term or condition of this Agreement; (ii) your access and use of OUR SERVICES (including any mobile Services or licensed applications), THE USER GENERATED CONTENT or the content; (iii) your DELAY IN ACCESSING OR inability to access or use OUR SERVICES for any reason; (iv) your downloading or use of any of the Content, the Collective Work or user generated content; (v) your reliance upon or use of OUR SERVICES, the USER GENERATED CONTENT, THE Content or the Collective Work; (VI) ANY TRANSACTION OR PROCESSING of a transaction; (vii) any third party’s use of our Services on your behalf; (VIII) the breach of our security and unauthorized disclosure of your information; OR (ix) ANY INFORMATION, SOFTWARE, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES OBTAINED ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OUR SERVICES, EVEN IF WE OR OUR AGENTS, REPRESENTATIVES, LICENSORS, VENDORS, SUPPLIERS OR ANY OTHER APPLICABLE THIRD PARTY HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF DAMAGES. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY STATED BY US IN WRITING AT THE TIME OF PURCHASE OR OTHERWISE, OUR LIABILITY AND THE LIABILITY OF OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS, SHAREHOLDERS, REPRESENTATIVES AND AGENTS ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT EXCEED $100.

 

YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER GENERATED CONTENT OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM SUCH USER GENERATED CONTENT AND THIRD-PARTY CONDUCT RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU. IN ADDITION, YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONSEQUENCES OF ACTIONS YOU TAKE OR FAIL TO TAKE BASED ON USER GENERATED CONTENT, PHOTOGRAPHS OR RECORDINGS, INCLUDING DEATH, PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, AND THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM SUCH ACTIONS OR INACTIONS RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.

 

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO OUR SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN 1 YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

 

Certain state laws do not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages. If these state laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions or limitations may not apply to you.

 

In the event that any limitation on the period of time for bringing an action, claim, dispute or proceeding against us, located in this Limitations on Our Liability section, is determined or held to be inapplicable or unenforceable by any court, arbitration panel or other tribunal, then the statute of limitations for the State of Florida, including Florida Statutes Section 95, will apply to any such action, claim, dispute or proceeding referred to final or binding arbitration.

 

Your Indemnification of Us

 

You will defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and our officers, directors, members, managers, shareholders, employees, independent contractors, agents and representatives from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or attributable to: (i) any breach or violation of this Agreement; (ii) your failure to provide accurate, complete and current Your Information requested or required by us; (iii) your access or use of our Services or the Content; (iv) access or use of our Services under any password that may be issued to you; (v) your transmissions, submissions or postings (for example, your own User Generated Content); or (vi) any personal injury, property damage or emotional distress caused by you.

 

Our Remedies

 

You acknowledge that we may be irreparably damaged if this Agreement is not specifically enforced, and damages at law would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you, we will be entitled, in addition to all rights and remedies, to an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach, without being required to show any actual damage or to post an injunction bond, or to a decree for specific performance of the provisions of this Agreement. For purposes of this Our Remedies section, you agree that any action or proceeding with regard to such injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach will be brought in the courts of record of Palm Beach County, Florida, or the United States District Court, Southern District of Florida. You consent to the jurisdiction of such court and waive any objection to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding in such court. Service of any court paper may be effected on such party by mail or in such other manner as may be provided under applicable laws, regulations, rules of procedure or local rules.

 

Legal Disputes

 

You and we agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen or may arise between us relating in any way to or arising out of this Agreement or your use of or access to the Services will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes section. Please read this Legal Disputes section carefully. It affects your rights and will have a substantial impact on how claims you and we have against each other are resolved.

 

Applicable Law

 

This Agreement is to be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Florida, without regard for principles of conflicts of laws. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded.

 

You agree that: (i) our Services will be deemed solely based in the State of Florida; and (ii) our Services will be deemed passive Services that do not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us and our assigns, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the State of Florida.

 

Agreement to Arbitrate

 

Any civil action, claim, dispute or proceeding arising out of or relating to this or any previous version of this Agreement, your use of or access to our Services or any products or services sold, offered or purchased on or through our Services, except for an injunctive action regarding a breach or threatened breach of any provision of this Agreement by you as provided above, will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, before a single arbitrator, rather than in court. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate section (this “Agreement to Arbitrate”).

 

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of this Agreement as a court would.

 

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement to Arbitrate, any part of it, or of this Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of the Agreement to Arbitrate or this Agreement is void or voidable.

 

The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”) in Palm Beach County, Florida, under the AAA’s rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at http://www.adr.org.

 

You and we will select the arbitrator, and if you and we are unable to reach agreement on selection of the arbitrator within 30 days after the notice of arbitration is served, then the AAA will select the arbitrator. Arbitration will not commence until the party requesting arbitration has deposited U.S. $1,000 with the arbitrator for the arbitrator’s fees and costs. The party requesting arbitration will advance such sums as are required from time to time by the arbitrator to pay the arbitrator’s fees and costs until the prevailing party is determined or the parties have agreed in writing to an alternate allocation of fees and costs.

 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator will not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving our other users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same user to the extent required by applicable law. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrator is final, binding and conclusive upon you and us and your and our respective administrators, executors, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and may only be entered in the state or federal courts of record for Palm Beach County, Florida.

 

Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief

 

YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS PART OF ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. 

 

THEREFORE, YOU DO NOT HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS AND YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. By using OUR SERVICES, you consent to these restrictions.

 

Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes


Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and us must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Palm Beach County, Florida. You and we will submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Palm Beach County, Florida for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

 

Miscellaneous

 

If any provision of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by or deemed invalid under applicable law, such provision will be inapplicable and deemed omitted to the extent so contrary, prohibited or invalid, but the remainder of this Agreement will not be invalidated thereby and will be given full force and effect so far as possible. If any provision of this Agreement may be construed in two or more ways, one of which would render the provision invalid or otherwise voidable or unenforceable and another of which would render the provision valid and enforceable, such provision will have the meaning that renders it valid and enforceable.

 

For purposes of this Agreement, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; and the word “or” is not exclusive. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only, are not to be considered a part of this Agreement, and will not limit or otherwise affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

 

All covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made in this Agreement, as may be amended by us, from time to time, will survive your acceptance of this Agreement and the termination of this Agreement.

 

No failure to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right or any power set forth in this Agreement by us will operate as a waiver of such right or power, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right or power under this Agreement by us preclude further exercise of that or any other right or power under this Agreement.

 

We may update, amend or change this Agreement at any time, in our sole discretion and without notice. Amendments will take effect immediately upon us posting such updates on our Services. We encourage you to periodically check this Agreement for changes, as your continued access and use of our Services following the posting of any changes will automatically be deemed your acceptance of all changes. If you do not agree to any change to this Agreement, you must discontinue using the Services. This Agreement replaces all previous notices or statements with respect to this subject, and cannot be modified orally or in writing by any of our associates, representatives or any other third parties.

 

We may give, assign or transfer our rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent. You may not give, assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person or entity without our prior written consent, which may be withheld in our sole discretion. Any attempt to assign your rights or obligations under this Agreement without our consent will be void.

 

We will not be liable for any changes, delays, failures or problems out of our control, including any changes, delays, failures or problems caused by natural disasters, war, terrorism, riots, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, fire, floods, accidents, network infrastructure failures, strikes, shortage of transportation facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials and other similar events.

 

You and we are independent contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, employee-employer or franchiser-franchisee relationship is intended or created by this Agreement.

 

This Agreement (together, with the Privacy Policy) represents the entire understanding and agreement between you and us regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersede all other previous agreements, understandings or representations regarding this Agreement.
