TERMS OF USE

Summary of the Terms of Use

Welcome to the website of game1. We wish to provide an excellent service to all users. Here is a summary of some of the terms of the binding legal agreement below the summary.

Summary of Some of the Terms of this TOU (Terms of Use)

Just View the Content. You can view the website and use its features and functionality, but you cannot (1) copy or download any of the content—not the text, not the images, nothing and/or (2) use information in ways that violate the terms of the agreement (the TOU).

Respect Others. The main point is that the services will be better for everyone (including you) if you do what you have always heard: Please respect others. We’re serious. Basically, game1 wants to keep you from using any of the game1 Services in a way that injures or damages someone else or injures or damages game1.

The Privacy Policy Applies. The agreement (that is, the TOU) refers to other documents that are available at the web address noted in the agreement where each such document is mentioned. Those other documents are a part of the agreement. For example, game1’s privacy policy is incorporated into the agreement (you can find the privacy policy at www.game1.com/privacy).

Changes to the Terms of Use. game1 may change the terms of the agreement below from time to time. That means also that we can change the terms of the documents that are incorporated by reference. We will post the new agreement and try to make sure that a notice is on the home page of one of the game1 websites. What this means for you: Any of your actions (and those of game1) before the new terms are posted will be governed by the old terms. The new terms will apply if you accept them and then only for your actions after your acceptance.

Any Device. This TOU applies to use of the game1 Services through other devices such as a mobile phone. The use of such other devices may also have additional terms. Those terms will apply to that particular use of that particular device but the terms in this TOU will also apply.

Acceptance. How you accept the terms of the agreement is set forth below, in the section “1. Your Acceptance of These Terms.”

Minimum Age. There is a minimum age limit for users of the game1 Services and for the time being that is 13. We are sure that you will understand. If you are below that age then you have to stop using it immediately. We cannot be responsible for your use. It violates the terms of this TOU.

No Waiver. Our conduct (or lack of it) or any communications do not alter the terms of the agreement. That can be done in only two ways: by game1 posting new terms or by game1 executing a separate written agreement with you.

DMCA. We have a method for taking down material that someone may consider violates certain proprietary rights (e.g., copyright). That section of the TOU is Section 5.

Please carefully read what is set forth below, which is the binding agreement between game1 and you. If you do not agree with the terms, then you must not use the services of game1. You can contact us at info@game1.com, with requests to change the terms, which we will consider. The legally binding agreement begins immediately below:

Terms of Use Agreement

Upon your acceptance this is a legally binding agreement between game1 and you. Critical to any agreement are “defined terms,” many of which are located throughout this document. Among the defined terms that are used quite a bit, are the following.

We will refer to this agreement as “Agreement” or “TOU.” In this Agreement, the terms “game1,” “We” and “us” each refer to game1, LLC or to any company that succeeds it (for example, by acquiring game1). “You” refers to, well, you—the person using the game1 Services. You are also a “user,” meaning one who uses features and functionality of game1 Services.

Common sense will tell you that game1 Services means what you get when you view or use what is available from game1. More specifically, though, “game1 Services” is defined as any combination of the following: (a) game1 Content; (b) the means by which game1 Content is displayed or otherwise delivered to you; (c) the features and functionality of such means of display and delivery and features and functionality; and (d) the look and feel of the display, delivery, features and functionality and including the trademarks, service marks, copyrights, logos and other proprietary rights of game1. The game1 Services may change from time to time.

“game1 Content” means the information displayed from time to time by or on behalf of game1 and available for use by a user or users through the features and functionality of the game1 Services.

“game1 Site” means any website (or successor technology) and any other means of digital delivery of game1 Content and other aspects of game1 Services (e.g., features and functionality) such as mobile networks.

Other terms in this Agreement within quotation marks have the definitions given them at that point in the Agreement.

  1. Your Acceptance of these Terms; Modifications to the TOU; Application of Terms

(a) Your Acceptance. By using any game1 Service, you agree to the terms of (1) this Agreement, (2) game1’s privacy notice, found at www.game1.com/privacy and incorporated here by reference and (3) other documents specified in this Agreement and provided to you through a link in this Agreement. If you do not agree to any of these documents then you are prohibited from using any game1 Services until you agree to these terms or game1 and you reach written agreement (signed by both parties) on other terms. You may also submit your requests for changes to these terms by email at info@game1.com, though we might not be able to reply to such requests.

(b) Modifications to the TOU and Other Policies. game1 may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise this TOU at any time by posting new terms of use on the game1 Site, and you agree to be bound by such new TOU for all of your use of the game1 Services after such posting and once you use of any game1 Services after such posting. Please review the most recent version on a frequent basis (www.game1.com/tou). Please note that this section means that game1 may modify or revise policies that are incorporated by reference into this TOU, which such modifications and revisions will be effective when posted.

Please note: Your use of the game1 Services prior to such posting (and your acceptance of the terms by your subsequent use) will continue to be governed by the previous terms of use on the game1 Site. New terms affect only new activity by you.

(c) Application of Terms. Every section of this TOU applies to every user, unless specified at the outset of a section that such section applies to only a select group of users.

  1. game1 Services and Links to Third Parties, No Use of Other’s game1 Accounts

(a) Other Websites. The game1 Services may contain links to third party websites. game1 has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites. For purposes of this TOU, “websites” also means other services by which content may be delivered or functionality provided, e.g., mobile phones. In addition, game1 will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third-party website. By using any game1 Services, you expressly relieve game1 from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website.

Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the game1 Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit or other information that you use.

(b) Advertising. game1 takes no responsibility for advertisements accessible through the game1 Services and/or any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any relationship you have with advertisers is up to you. You agree that game1 is not liable for any claim you may have against an advertiser or any other party whose website or other content you access by clicking on a link on the game1 Site that takes you away from the game1 Site.

(c) Other Accounts. You can register at the game1 Site in many ways—for example, by subscribing to a newsletter or by using the site of a game1 partner that permits game1 to send you information. This will be a “game1 Account.” Whether or not you create a game1 Account, you are prohibited from using another person’s game1 Account without that person’s permission and you are prohibited from letting others use your game1 Account.

  1. game1 Accounts

This Section 3 applies only to each user who creates an game1 Account. This Section 3 also includes the means for terminating an account.

(a) Creating a game1 Account. In order to access some of the game1 Services, you will have to create a game1 account. If you do not provide accurate and complete information then you will not get the benefits from that account. This also means that you need to update your account information when it changes.

(b) Account Data Subject to the Privacy Policy. As with all information game1 collects from users, the information in each game1 Account is subject to the privacy policy (which, as noted previously, is incorporated by reference into this TOU) which can be found at www.game1.com/privacy. Also as previously noted, that policy is subject to change from time to time.

(c) The game1 Account Is Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. Please immediately notify game1 of any unauthorized use of your account.

(d) Limitations on Liability from an game1 Account. Although game1 will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your game1 Account, you may be liable for the losses of game1 or others due to such unauthorized use. Additional terms relating to such liability (and the release of liability) are also found at Sections 6 and 7 below.

(e) Terminating or Closing an game1 Account. game1 has the right to terminate a game1 Account if a user is determined (in game1’s sole discretion) to have infringed this TOU or the infringement is serious enough to warrant termination (e.g., pornographic, defamatory or obscene material). game1 may also terminate any accounts if its business changes. game1 will not necessarily notify you that an account has been terminated.

You may close your game1 Account at any time by sending an email with such instructions. Please send it to account@game1.com with the subject line “Please close account.” If the account information we have for on file for you is not correct, then we will not be able to close your game1 Account.

  1. General Use of game1 Services: What You Can and Cannot Do

Below are set forth some of the principal terms for your use of the game1 Services. Basically, the intent is that you can view the game1 Content and use the features and functionality of the game1 Services but you cannot copy it or use it in any manner other than such viewing or browsing. Put another way, you are not to use the game1 Services for your commercial purposes.

(a) Permission. game1 hereby grants you permission to access and use the game1 Services as set forth in this TOU, provided that:

You agree not to alter or modify any part of any game1 Services.
You may access and use game1 Content and other features and functionality of game1 Services only as permitted under this TOU. game1 Content may not be downloaded, copied, reproduced, distributed, transmitted, broadcast, displayed, sold, licensed, or otherwise exploited for any other purposes whatsoever without the prior written consent of game1 and, where appropriate, the respective owners or other rights holders.
You agree not to use the game1 Services for any commercial use without the prior written authorization of game1.
You agree not to use any automated system, including without limitation, “robots,” “spiders,” or “offline readers,” that accesses game1 Services in a manner that sends more request messages to the game1 servers in a given period of time than a human can reasonably produce in the same period by using a conventional on-line web browser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, game1 grants the operators of public search engines permission to use spiders to copy materials from the site for the sole purpose of and solely to the extent necessary for creating publicly available searchable indices of the materials, but not caches or archives of such materials. game1 reserves the right to revoke these exceptions either generally or in specific cases. You agree not to collect or harvest any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the game1 Site, or to use the communication systems provided by the game1 Site (e.g. comments, email) for any commercial solicitation purposes. You agree not to solicit, for commercial purposes, any users of the game1 Site.
You will otherwise comply with the terms and conditions of this TOU, and all applicable local, national, and international laws and regulations when using any game1 Service(s).
game1 reserves the right to discontinue any aspect of the game1 Services at any time.
game1 reserves all rights not expressly granted in this TOU in and to the game1 Services.
(b) SPAM. We hate SPAM probably more than you do. You are prohibited from using the game1 Services for SPAM or any other form of unsolicited bulk communications. This means that you cannot use the game1 Services to “harvest” information about users to send, or to facilitate the sending of, unsolicited bulk or other communications. If you do so, then you acknowledge that you will have caused substantial harm to game1 and that the amount of such harm would be extremely difficult to measure. We have made a reasonable estimate of the damages and therefore, you will pay game1 $50 for each such unsolicited communication you send through the game1 Services.

You also understand that we may use technical measures from time to time to prevent the sending or receipt of such communications.

(c) game1’s Trademarks and Other Assets. game1, the game1 logo and other game1 marks, graphics, logos, scripts, and sounds are trademarks of game1 or proprietary rights of game1. None of the game1 trademarks or proprietary rights may be copied, downloaded or otherwise exploited without game1’s prior written authorization.

  1. Digital Millennium Copyright Act-Takedown Notice

This Section enables you to seek removal of content from the game1 Services that you believe infringes on certain proprietary rights-and it provides you with the procedure to object to the removal of such content. (Removal also includes simply making it unavailable for users to see it.)

(a) Takedown Notice. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other game1 Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing. The appropriate section of the federal law can be found at 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3). The law either requires the following information and procedure or website publishers have adopted the following, so as to make the process more effective:

A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please understand that your DMCA notice might not be valid if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section.

game1’s designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is: Margaret Conway at MConway@game1.com. Please send only the DMCA notices to the Copyright Agent. Send any other feedback or comments on this matter to dmca@dickclarkproductions.com.

(b) Notice of Objection to Takedown. You might not like it that certain content was removed. Here is the procedure to object, which requires you to meet certain criteria. You must represent the owner of the content (authorization from the owner or the copyright agent of the owner) or you are the owner or you have other rights under law to the content in question. If you meet at least one of these conditions then you may send this notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent. You can also send us email but that will not replace the notice (send such an email to dmca@dickclarkproductions.com). The notice must include:

Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal court in Los Angeles, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If this notice is received by the Copyright Agent, game1 may send a copy of it to the original complaining party informing that person that game1 may replace the removed content in 10 or so business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 (or so) business days or more after receipt of the notice by the complaining party. However, doing so is at game1’s sole discretion.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless game1, its parent corporation, officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from:

(I) Your use of and access to any game1 Services;

(II) Your violation of any term of this TOU;

(III) Your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right.

This defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this TOU and your use of any game1 Services.

  1. Minimum Age & Your Ability to Accept this TOU

The minimum age for the use of the game1 Services is 13 years old. However, if you are between the ages of 13 and 18, then to agree to this TOU (and use the game1 Services) you need to have legal (such as a guardian) or parental approval or you must be what is known as an “emancipated minor” (which means that you have the approval under law to make your own decisions even though you are a minor). If you have to get that approval then please have that person email us at info@game1.com and in the subject line include: “Children.” Please make sure that we can reply to the email you provide. You acknowledge that you are either 18 years old or older or you meet one of the conditions described in the sentence above if you are between 13 and 18. In either case, you also acknowledge that you are fully able and competent to enter into and comply with this TOU.

  1. Written Approval & Amendments

In several sections of this TOU, we have referred to written approval from game1 for certain variations in some of the terms of this TOU. That written approval can be in the form of an email to you but it must be from an authorized representative of game1, which means one of the members of senior management of game1 or the person or persons expressly authorized by them to act in this capacity. For example, a customer service representative would not be authorized to provide such written approval. In addition, that approval must expressly identify that this TOU is being adjusted and which particular provision or provisions is or are being changed. Any other modifications-such as an amendment-shall be valid only if posted by game1 and specifically amending, replacing or modifying this TOU. That right is specified in Section 1(b) above.

  1. Term & Termination. Unless terminated early (as described below) this TOU shall continue in effect until such time as: your game1 Account is terminated (if you have an account); game1 (or its successor) ceases to offer the game1 Services or wishes to terminate this TOU; or game1 in its sole discretion terminates this TOU in relation to your use of the game1 Services if in its sole discretion your continued use of the game1 Services would be detrimental to game1.
  2. General Terms

4.Any claim or dispute between you and game1 that arises in whole or in part from your use of any game1 Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in California and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, with the exception of claims objecting to a “takedown” as specified in Section 5(b) above, which includes your consent to jurisdiction of another court under specified circumstances;

5.This TOU, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by game1 without restriction;

6.This TOU (which, remember, includes other documents incorporated by reference such as the privacy policy) shall constitute the entire agreement between game1 and you with reference to the game1 Services, unless game1 and you enter into a written agreement, executed by authorized persons, as to other matters;

7.If any provision of this TOU is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect;

8.No waiver of any term of this TOU shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and game1’s failure to assert any right or provision under this TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision;

9.Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits;

10.This TOU (and those versions that replace it by game1 posting them) continues in effect until game1 determines otherwise or game1 elects to terminate or alter game1 Services, with such termination or alteration requiring termination of this TOU;

11.game1 makes no representations that the game1 Services are appropriate or available for use in other countries outside of the United States. If you access any game1 Services from such locations jurisdictions you are choosing to do so at your risk. You are solely responsible for compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction from which you obtain such access;

12.You agree that the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by you would, by its nature, be inadequate, and that in such case game1 will be entitled, in addition to damages, to a restraining order, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and other appropriate equitable relief, without showing or providing that any monetary damage has been sustained;

13.YOU AND game1 AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE game1 SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

End of Agreement
