If you are a California resident, you hereby waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which states: “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.”

15. Claims of Infringement

Scout Productions respects the intellectual property of others and requires that you do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Scout Productions will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are duly reported to its Designated Copyright Agent identified in the notice below. Scout Productions will disable and/or remove access to the website for users who are repeat infringers. If you believe that your content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide Scout Productions’ Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”)

• Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by this Notice you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.

• Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:
• “I hereby state that I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., fair use).”
• “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
• In the event any of the copyrighted work(s) you claim has been infringed is made available on the website by a person other than Scout Productions and system caching as further set forth in the DMCA applies, also include the following statement with respect to such work(s) in the body of the Notice:
• “I hereby confirm that the material has been removed from the originating site or access to it has been disabled or that a court has ordered that the material be removed from the originating site or that access to the material on the originating site be disabled.”
• Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.
• Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Scout Productions Designated Copyright Agent:
  
  Scout Productions, Inc.

Attn: Copyright Agent

Burbank, CA 91502

While Scout Productions considers all such notices seriously, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that content or activity is infringing. Accordingly, if you are uncertain whether material infringes your copyrights (including whether use of copyrighted material may constitute fair use), you may wish to seek the advice of an attorney.

16. Changes to Site and Services; Termination

Scout Productions reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify features and functionality of the Site and the Services, and to restrict, suspend, or terminate these Terms of Use and your access to all or any part of the Site or the Content or Services, at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability. You may terminate these Terms of Use by discontinuing your use of the Services and access to the Site. Scout Productions also reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to cease providing the Services and this Site at any time.

17. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held in whole or in part to be invalid, void, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction for any reason, the remainder of that provision and of the entire Terms of Use will be severable and remain in full force and effect.

18. Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT. 

Any and all disputes relating to or arising from the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, including disputes regarding the validity of this arbitration clause, shall be settled by a single arbitrator in arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrator(s)’s and administrative fees of arbitration. This agreement to mediate and/or arbitrate is a final and irrevocable waiver of the opportunity to file a lawsuit in court to resolve claims and the right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.  

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis and neither you nor Scout Productions will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. You should carefully consider this and other provisions of these Terms and Privacy Policy and have the right to consult legal counsel regarding this provision. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms will govern. If any other provision of this section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed, with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.

19. General

These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to its choice of laws rules. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action under these Terms of Use will be in the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California. You hereby accept the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign any rights granted to you or delegate any of your duties hereunder and any attempt to do so is void and of no effect. Scout Productions may assign its rights and delegate its duties under these Terms of Use in their entirety in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all, or substantially all, of its assets relating to these Terms of Use. Nothing in these Terms of Use constitutes a partnership or joint venture between you and Scout Productions. Scout Productions does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or secure access to this Site or the Services, and operation of the Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of its control. Scout Productions’ failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to enforce any of these provisions or act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms of Use, together with any other applicable contracts or click-through agreements you may have entered into regarding our Site or our Services, set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Scout Productions with respect to the use of the Site and the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic). Sections 4 (Proprietary Rights); 5 (Account Creation; Risk of Loss); 6 (Use of Account; Prohibited Actions); 7 (Security); 8 (Submitted Materials); 11 (Indemnification); 12 (Disclaimers); 13 (Limitation of Liabilities); 14 (Release); 16 (Changes to Site and Services; Termination); 17 (Severability); 18 (Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action); and 19 (General) survive any termination or expiration of these Terms of Use. Additionally, any provision that is, by its nature, intended to survive termination of these Terms will so survive.
