If you have suggestions that can help us improve it or any questions about this Agreement, please email us and let us know. This Agreement explains our obligations to you, and your obligations to us. Except as noted otherwise below, this Agreement is the entire Agreement between us. By using the Sites and the Service in any way, you are agreeing to comply with these Terms of Service, our Global Privacy Policy, EU & Swiss Privacy Policy, our Template Submission Guidelines, and any other legal notices or conditions or guidelines posted on the Sites.

7. Rules

Your obligations to End Users

  1. Roles. Broadcasting World Area is a “service provider” to you, and you are a “customer” of our Services irrespective of whether you pay fees to obtain the Services. Any natural persons accessing or using your Broadcasting World Area account, the websites, pages, features, or content created by you on our Services are deemed your “End Users.” Broadcasting World Area does not have a direct relationship with any of your End Users, therefore Broadcasting World Area is not responsible for how you handle End User information.
  2. Applicable laws. You may have additional obligations under local law other than those described in this Terms of Service, particularly if you or your End Users are located outside of the United States. Such obligations may be more restrictive than this Terms of Service. Use of the Services does not ensure compliance with such laws, nor is Broadcasting World Area responsible for your compliance with such laws. To the extent Broadcasting World Area has any obligations to assist you with handling End User information, such obligations are enumerated within a Data Processing Agreement executed between Broadcasting World Area and you.
  3. Security safeguards. You will use all reasonable efforts to protect information collected from End Users via your use of the Services, including any personal information obtained from unauthorized access or use. In the event you discover that the End User information collected by you has been breached, compromised, or inadvertently exposed to non-authorized third parties, you shall notify Broadcasting World Area promptly of such a breach or exposure including the root cause, remediation steps, and compensating controls to ensure such a breach does not occur in the future.

  7. Privacy rights. You will respond to any End Users wishing to exercise their privacy rights, under the applicable law, as it relates to any information collected via your use of the Services. For example, if End Users located in certain jurisdictions may exercise a “right to be forgotten” (or “erasure”) to the information you have collected about them, you shall comply with their request as required by applicable law. For clarity, you are directly responsible (or, the “data controller”) for the information processed by your use of the Services, including any information processed via third-party applications available on the Services.

A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, including the URL (internet address) or other specific location on the Service where the material you claim is infringed is located. Include enough information to allow Broadcasting World Area to locate the material, and explain why you think an infringement has taken place.

  3. Your address, telephone number, and email address
  4. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law

  6. An electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest

Basically…

We respect copyright. If you see any violations, please follow these instructions.

Counter-notice

If you believe that the content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature
  2. 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
  3. 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
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the Central District of California and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Broadcasting World Area will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 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 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat-infringer policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Broadcasting World Area has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at Broadcasting World Area sole discretion, the memberships of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Broadcasting World Area may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

15. Amendments, notification procedures, and changes to the Agreement

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to modify, update, or change the Terms of Service (“Updated Terms”) from time to time, so you should review this page periodically. When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the “last modified” date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Service. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Service, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. Broadcasting World Area is not responsible for any automatic filtering you or your network provider may apply to email notifications we send to the email address you provide us.

Unless we make a change for legal or administrative reasons, we will provide reasonable advance notice before the Updated Terms become effective. Broadcasting World Area may provide such notifications, whether the notifications are required by law or are for marketing or other business-related purposes, to you via email notice, written or hard copy notice, or through posting of such notice on our website, as determined by Broadcasting World Area in our sole discretion. Broadcasting World Area reserves the right to determine the form and means of providing notifications to our users, provided that you may opt out of certain means of notification by contacting us at write us. You agree that we may notify you of the Updated Terms by posting them on the Service, and that your use of the Service after the effective date of the Updated Terms (or engaging in such other conduct as we may reasonably specify) constitutes your agreement to the Updated Terms. Therefore, you should review these Terms of Service and any Updated Terms before using the Service. The Updated Terms will be effective as of the time of posting, or such later date as may be specified in the Updated Terms, and will apply to your use of the Service from that point forward. The Terms of Service will govern any disputes arising before the effective date of the Updated Terms.

Basically…

We may change our terms of service from time to time. If these terms of use change, we’ll notify you, and give you a chance to opt out. We won’t change the terms retroactively.

16. Dispute resolution

INFORMAL NEGOTIATIONS. To expedite resolution and reduce the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and Broadcasting World Area agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations will commence upon written notice. Your address for such notices is your billing address, with an email copy to the email address you have provided to Broadcasting World Area. Broadcasting World Area address for such notices is Broadcasting World Area, 43 Rue Anatole de Monzie, 06300 Nice, France

BINDING ARBITRATION. If you and Broadcasting World Area are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, all claims arising from use of the Service (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT IF EITHER PARTY ELECTS TO ARBITRATE, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT OR HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration will be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation will be governed by the AAA Rules (and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules). If your claim for damages does not exceed $10,000, Broadcasting World Area will pay all such fees unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in your Demand for Arbitration was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, you and Broadcasting World Area may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

EXCEPTIONS TO ALTERNATIVE DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Each party retains the right to bring an individual action in small claims court or to seek injunctive or other equitable relief on an individual basis in a federal or state court located within the Central District of California with respect to any dispute related to the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of a party’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.

WAIVER OF RIGHT TO BE A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN A PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. You and Broadcasting World Area agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Dispute between Broadcasting World Area and you individually. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOU AND Broadcasting World Area ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS ACTION OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Broadcasting World Area otherwise agree, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of any class or representative proceeding. If this specific paragraph is held unenforceable, then the entirety of this “Dispute Resolution” Section will be deemed null and void.

LOCATION OF ARBITRATION. Arbitration will take place in San Francisco, California. You and Broadcasting World Area agree that for any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, the California state and Federal courts located in San Francisco, California have exclusive jurisdiction and you and Broadcasting World Area agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.

Basically…

We don’t want to fight. If something goes wrong, contact us and we’ll negotiate the problem. If that doesn’t work, we will figure it out in arbitration in San Francisco.

c. Entire agreement/severability

The Terms of Service represent the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter addressed herein and supersedes all prior to contemporaneous agreements or understandings, written or oral. The Terms of Service shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and lawful assigns.

d. No waiver

Any failure by us to enforce or exercise any provisions of the Terms of Service shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our rights to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.

e. Attorneys’ and accountants’ fees, remedies

In any action to enforce the Terms of Service, the prevailing party shall be entitled to attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and costs.

You agree that Broadcasting World Area remedy at law for any actual or threatened breach of this Agreement would be inadequate and that Broadcasting World Area shall be entitled to specific performance or injunctive relief, or both, in addition to any damages that Broadcasting World Area may be legally entitled to recover, together with reasonable expenses of any form of dispute resolution, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees.

No right or remedy of Broadcasting World Area shall be exclusive of any other, whether at law or in equity, including without limitation damages injunctive relief, attorneys’ fees, and expenses.

No instance of waiver by Broadcasting World Area of its rights or remedies under these terms and conditions shall imply any obligation to grant any similar, future, or other waiver.

Basically…

Don’t transfer this agreement.

These terms of service are governed by California law and are final
