4.    Subscription Services

• Subscription Services.   Certain Services may be available only through creation of a subscription account and payment of a fee (“Subscription Services”).   Through such Subscription Services accounts, you will have access to the Subscription Services for a fixed term, which will not renew automatically unless otherwise disclosed to you when you pay for the Subscription Services.
• Access Restrictions.   You are not authorized to access any Subscription Services unless you have opened a subscription account and paid the appropriate fee, have received access credentials (e.g., a username and password) from us, and are using those access credentials.   You may not assist anyone else in accessing Subscription Services on an unauthorized basis, including by sharing your access credentials or providing any content or other materials that you obtained through Subscription Services to third parties.   You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your access credentials and for all usage or activity on your Subscription Services accounts, including the use of Subscription Services by any third party authorized by you to use your access credentials.   Such responsibility expressly includes any purchases made or other charges incurred on your credit card in connection with your use (or an authorized third party’s use) of the Subscription Services.   In the event of any fraudulent, abusive or otherwise illegal activity on your Subscription Services accounts, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate those accounts and refer you to appropriate law enforcement agencies.   You may be responsible for damages from any such fraudulent, abusive, or otherwise illegal activity.

• Access.   Some Subscription Services are accessible only using a particular kind of device, such as a personal computer.   You should investigate Subscription Services before you pay for access to them to ensure that they will work with your device because we will not refund any fees you paid if the Subscription Services to which you subscribe are not compatible.   Also, certain Subscription Services may not be available for use in every jurisdiction, and we will not refund any fees you paid if the Subscription Services to which you subscribe are not available.
• Suspension or Termination.   We may suspend or terminate your access to Subscription Services at any time without notice to you.   If we do so, you will not be responsible for fees associated with the Subscription Services after the termination becomes effective, but you will not have any other remedies against us, and we will not issue any refunds.   If you have breached or violated any obligation under these Terms, you will not be entitled to any remedy.
• Cancellation and Refund Policy.   You can cancel your subscription at any time.   To cancel your subscription to Subscription Services, you must first be signed-in.   You can reach the Sign-in Page by clicking the "Sign-in" link in the upper right-hand corner of any of our webpages.   Enter the email address and password you provided and sign-in.   If you do not know or remember the email address used to open your account, you may contact us at support@classicfilmclub.com.   Please describe your issue and provide us with your first name, last name, birth year, postal code and country.   Once you have successfully signed-in, your name will appear in the upper right-hand corner of every web page.   Click on your name link to access your Account Page.   Here you can modify your email address, password and cancel your subscription and/or membership.   We do not refund or prorate Subscription Services, or any other purchases made through the Services, for any reason.   Requests to terminate subscriptions will be effective once the billing period in which we received the cancellation concludes.   Your subscriber priviledges will continue until the conclusion of the current billing period unless you elect to also cancel your membership.   In that case, your account will be suspended and all access priviledges will immediately cease.

5.    Registration for Non-Subscription Services

YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES IS entirely AT YOUR OWN RISK.   WE MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES ABOUT OUR services, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE OPERATION OF OUR SERVICES OR THE INFORMATION, MATERIALS, GOODS, OR SERVICES APPEARING OR OFFERED ON OUR SERVICES or WITH RESPECT TO any websites or services linked from our services.   OUR SERVICES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS", “with all faults,” AND “AS AVAILABLE.”   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WE DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO:

• (I) THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WORKMANLIKE EFFORT, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, no liens and no encumbrances;

11.    Exclusive Remedy and Limitation of Liability

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION NEGLIGENCE, WILL VELOUR, its affiliates, or any party involved in creating, producing, or delivering the SERVICES BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OR LOSSES INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION direct, incidental, consequential, indirect, special or punitive damages AND LOST PROFITS arising out of THE TERMS OR your access, use, misuse, or inability to use the services, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY VELOUR content OR USER CONTENT, or any Sites LINKED FROM OUR SERVICES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF VELOUR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, or in connection with any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation or transmission, computer virus or line or system failure.

Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, VELOUR’s liability in such jurisdictions shall be limited to the extent permitted by law.

Any claim against us shall be limited to the amount you paid, if any, for use of our Services.

12.    Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Velour, and its affiliates and licensors, and each of their respective officers, directors, contractors, agents, employees, successors and assigns from and against any and all demands, claims, damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, interest, penalties, losses, costs, expenses and harms, including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees and fees of other professional advisers, arising out of or in connection with

• (i) your use of the Services (including, without limitation, your User Content and your use of any Velour Content),
• (ii) your online conduct,
• (iii) your violation or breach of these Terms,
• (iv) your failure to comply with any applicable laws or regulations,
• (v) your negligence, willful misconduct, or violations of the intellectual property or other rights of any person, or
• (vi) any of your dealings or transactions with other persons resulting from use of our Services.   You shall not settle any such claim without the prior written consent of Velour.   These obligations will survive any termination of these Terms.

13.    Integration and Severability

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between Velour and you, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us.   In the event any provision of these Terms is held unenforceable, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions and will be replaced by an enforceable provision that comes closest to the intention underlying the unenforceable provision.

14.    No Waiver

Our failure to enforce any provisions of the Terms or respond to a breach by you or other parties shall not in any way waive our right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of the Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.

15.    Assignment and Binding Effects

You must not assign these Terms or any rights or obligations herein without the prior written consent of Velour and any attempted assignment in contravention of this provision is null and void and of no force or effect.   Velour has the right to assign these Terms, and any of its rights or obligations herein.   These Terms are binding upon each party and its respective successors, heirs, trustees, administrators, executors and permitted assigns.

16.    Location, Governing Law, Arbitration and Time Period Limitation for Bringing Claim

These Terms are governed by, and must be construed in accordance with, the laws of the United States and the STATE OF CALIFORNIA, as applicable, without giving effect to their principles of conflicts of law.   By using our Services, you waive any claims that may arise under the laws of other states, countries, territories or jurisdictions.

With respect to any and all disputes arising out of or in connection with our Services or these Terms (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), Velour and you agree to negotiate in good faith and undertake reasonable efforts to cooperate with one another in order to achieve a mutually satisfactory resolution.   If you and Velour do not resolve any dispute by informal negotiation, any other effort to resolve the dispute will be conducted exclusively by binding arbitration as described in this section.   You are giving up the right to litigate (or participate in as a party or class member) all disputes in court before a judge or jury.   Instead, all disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator, whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.   Any court with jurisdiction over the parties may enforce the arbitrator’s award.

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis.   Neither you nor Velour 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.

Velour and you agree that all disputes arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be settled exclusively through confidential binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial rules of arbitration of the American Arbitration Association of San Francisco, California.   The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in a court of competent jurisdiction.   You agree that Velour may seek any interim or preliminary relief from a court of competent jurisdiction in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in Marin County, necessary to protect its rights or property pending the completion of arbitration.

To the extent permitted by law, any claim or dispute under these Terms must be filed within one year in an arbitration proceeding.   The one-year period begins when the claim or notice of dispute first could be filed.   If a claim or dispute isn't filed within one year, it is permanently barred.

17.    Separate Terms and Conditions

In connection with your use of our Services, you may be asked to consent to policies or terms and conditions in addition to these Terms.   Please read these supplemental policies and terms carefully before making any use of such portions of our Services.   Any supplemental terms will not vary or replace these Terms regarding any use of our Services, unless otherwise expressly stated.

18.    Contact Information

Please direct any questions, complaints or claims related to our Services or your use of the Services or requests to use a copyrighted work or trade or service mark right to office@classicfilmclub.com.
