Any defined terms used in the Terms of Use (such as “Sites,” “Services,” and “Adult Swim”) have the meanings given to them in these Terms of Use. When you see “we,” “our,” and “us” in these Terms of Use, it means Adult Swim, the provider of the Services. When you see “you” and “your,” it means you, the end user of the Services we provide.

These Terms of Use include important information and set forth the “rules” for your use of our Services. We update these Terms of Use from time to time, so please check back frequently. By using the Sites and the Services, you affirm that you are at least 18 years of age (or have reached the age of majority if that is not 18 years of age where you live) or that you have reviewed these Terms of Use with your parent or legal guardian and he or she agrees to these Terms of Use on your behalf and takes full responsibility for your compliance with them. You agree that you (and your parent or guardian) are fully able and competent to enter into and comply with these Terms of Use. Access to and use of certain features or functions of the Sites or Services may only be available to those individuals eighteen years of age or older, or other ages as Adult Swim deems appropriate for a particular feature or function in its discretion. If you are under 18 years of age, you understand that you cannot later void this agreement with Adult Swim as a minor without losing access to your Account and the Sites and your parents being held responsible for your actions and any obligations you have incurred while enjoying the benefits of access to the features and functions of the Sites as if you were an adult.

These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy set forth the terms and conditions upon which you may use the Services that we provide and constitute a legally binding contract between you and Adult Swim. If you do not agree with the Terms of Use, or any part of them, do not use the Services, which are designed solely for your entertainment purposes. You acknowledge that these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy are supported by reasonable and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which you acknowledge by using the Services, including, without limitation, your enjoyment and use of the Services and all features and activities made available through the Services, your receipt of data, materials and information made available through the Services, and the possibility of our use or display of End User Content (see Section 7 below for a definition of “End User Content”). We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to update these Terms of Use from time to time when we deem appropriate. Changes shall become effective ten (10) days after they are posted on the Sites or within the Services (“Effective Change Date”). These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy cannot be changed orally. Please review these Terms of Use and Privacy Policy periodically. Your continued use of the Services following the Effective Change Date will constitute your acceptance of those updated Terms of Use and/or Privacy Policy.

Supplemental terms and conditions may apply to some of the Services or Software we provide and will be disclosed to you in connection with the particular Services or Software. Those supplemental terms and conditions are in addition to, not in lieu of, these Terms of Use, but in the event of any conflict between those supplemental terms and these Terms of Use, those supplemental terms will prevail to the extent of the conflict.

3. Services

a. License to use Services

The “Services” include services we provide to you through the Sites, “Third Party Platforms” (see Section 23 below for a definition of “Third Party Platforms”), and other locations which post, incorporate by reference, or link to these Terms of Use. Examples of the Services we may provide include, but are not limited to, games (including games that are downloadable, in whole or in part, or playable through a browser), activities, chat, forums, audio-visual content, and mobile applications. We may change, add to, or delete the Services we offer, in whole or in part, for any reason at any time in our sole discretion. Subject to your continuing compliance with these Terms of Use, Adult Swim grants you the limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable right during the Term to use the Services solely for your non-commercial, entertainment purposes, in a manner consistent with these Terms of Use. All rights not expressly granted by Adult Swim herein are reserved to Adult Swim, and no license, permission or right of access or use not granted expressly herein shall be implied. The Services are for the personal use of individual users and may not be transferred, assigned, or used in connection with any commercial or illegal endeavors. Organizations, companies, and businesses may not become registered members and should not use the Services for any purpose.

b. Access to Services

You understand and agree that Adult Swim may discontinue, and has no obligation to continue providing, any aspect of the Services, or all of the Services in their entirety, at any time in its discretion. To use the Services, you acknowledge and agree that you may be required to (i) have a valid Account (some features of the Services are only accessible through creation of an Account), (ii) download and install certain Software which allows you to use the Services, (iii) have an Internet connection or access to a wireless network (which Adult Swim does not provide and which may impact your ability to access the Services from time to time for reasons outside of Adult Swim’s control), and (iv) download and install certain third party software (“Third Party Software”) (which Adult Swim does not provide, which may not work on your computer, game platform or mobile device, and which may impact your ability to access the Services for reasons outside of Adult Swim’s control) and enter into a separate agreement with such third party for access to and use of such Third Party Software.

c. Premium Items and Virtual Currency

As part of the Services, Adult Swim may offer you the ability to license in-game or in-app points, tokens, or other forms of in-game virtual currency however denominated (“Virtual Currency”) and in-game items, features and elements such as accessories, equipment and additional content and levels (“Premium Items”). Virtual Currency and Premium Items may also be earned through game play. Regardless of the name used to identify Virtual Currency, you understand and agree that all such Virtual Currency represents a limited license to receive virtual goods and services as part of that game in accordance with these Terms of Use. You do not “own” the Virtual Currency or Premium Items. Instead, your possession of Virtual Currency and Premium Items represents a limited, personal, revocable license from Adult Swim to you to use the Virtual Currency and Premium Items in the applicable Services during the Term. You understand and agree that Virtual Currency and Premium Items are not redeemable for any sum of money or monetary value from Adult Swim, or any of its licensors or affiliated companies, and have no value outside of the game. You understand and agree that once you redeem your Virtual Currency within a game, your redemption is final and there are no refunds. You understand and agree that Adult Swim has the absolute right to manage, regulate, control, modify, create and/or eliminate Virtual Currency and Premium Items as it sees fit in its sole discretion, in any general or specific case, and that Adult Swim shall have no liability to you based on its exercise of such right. You understand and agree that unless otherwise authorized by Adult Swim, Virtual Currency and Premium Items may only be used in the game for which they were purchased and in no event may be used outside of that game. If your access to the game expires or is terminated by you or Adult Swim, or if your access to Premium Items or Virtual Currency is terminated or expires for any reason, you understand and agree that the Virtual Currency and Premium Items (and all perceived value associated therewith) shall automatically revert back to Adult Swim and you shall no longer have any right to use or redeem, and you shall have no right to be compensated for, such Virtual Currency or Premium Items (or any perceived value associated therewith). In the event such reversion is not fully recognized or given effect under the law, then, in the case of cancellation or termination, you hereby agree to transfer and assign all remaining Virtual Currency and Premium Items associated with your Account to Adult Swim. In no event will you be entitled to a monetary refund from Adult Swim in connection with any Premium Item or Virtual Currency including for the loss of those items.

You understand and agree that by clicking on a banner advertisement or link from our advertisers and sponsors, you will be taken to other sites, which are not operated by us or under our control. We do not endorse and cannot ensure that you will be satisfied with any products or services that you purchase from a third party site. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Services are solely between you and such advertiser. You agree that we will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or as the result of the presence of such advertisers on the Services.

You acknowledge and agree that as between you and Adult Swim, Adult Swim is the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest (including, without limitation, all intellectual property rights) in and to the Software, and that you acquire no rights in any of the same, express or implied, beyond those granted specifically in the current version of these Terms of Use. We may provide updates, patches, upgrades, and enhancements to the Software from time to time in our discretion. However, neither these Terms of Use nor your Account entitle you to any subsequent releases of any Software, any expansion packs or similar ancillary products. You understand that we may update or otherwise enhance the Software at any time and in doing so incur no obligation to furnish such updates to you.

Subject to these Terms of Use, we hereby grant to you a limited, personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license during the Term to use the Software solely in connection with accessing the Services in order to play the game or engage in the activity of which the Software is a part.

You may not reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile or otherwise reverse engineer or attempt to reverse engineer or derive source code from, all or any portion of the Software or anything incorporated therein or permit any third party to do so except to the extent that this restriction is expressly prohibited by applicable law. In no event will such reverse engineering be considered “Fair Use” under Federal Copyright law, and you hereby agree to waive any claims of “Fair Use” as a defense for any reverse engineering, including any claims that such reverse engineering is being done for “interoperability purposes” under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Software may contain license management technology, circumvention or disabling of which is prohibited.

For the purposes of updating, patching or otherwise modifying the Software, you hereby grant Adult Swim permission to (a) extract hardware system profile data from your computer or game platform; (b) extract information from your computer’s or game platform’s file directories pertaining to the Software and your ability to access the Services; and (c) download applicable Software, game content and game files to your computer and game platforms that are used to access the applicable Services.

Selling or renting access to another person to your Account for the purpose of allowing them access to the Services is prohibited. You are responsible and liable for all activities conducted through your Account, regardless of who conducts those activities. If you are a parent or guardian, you may permit your child to use the Account instead of you, provided that parents and guardians are liable for the activities of their child.

Upon registration for an Account, you must create a password (“Password”). You shall not disclose your Password to any third party or allow anyone to use your Password to access the Services or your Account. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Password and for any damage or harm (for example, lost or deleted Account Attributes, closed Accounts, etc.) resulting from your disclosure or allowing the disclosure of your Password or from use by any person of your Password to gain access to your Account. In no event shall Adult Swim be held responsible for any damage that occurs to your Account or the attributes of your Account, including without limitation, your characters, objects, possessions, points, rank, badges, status, Premium Items, and Virtual Currency (collectively, “Account Attributes”).

No Materials may be copied, reproduced, republished, uploaded, posted, transmitted, distributed, decompiled, reverse engineered, disassembled, or used in any manner, except as expressly permitted by these Terms of Use. Modification of the Materials or use of the Materials in whole or in part for any non-approved purpose is a violation of Adult Swim’s or such other sources’ copyright, trademark and other proprietary rights.

You agree that we may review, edit and delete any End User Content for any reason, including, in our sole judgment, that the End User Content violates these Terms of Use. Further, you acknowledge and agree that we may take any action we deem appropriate as to any End User Content communicated by you, if we believe, in our sole discretion, that it may expose us to liability, or damage our relationship with any of our suppliers, licensors, ISPs or other users of the Services.

b. License to End User Content

You own your End User Content (except for any Materials and derivatives of Materials incorporated into End User Content). As to all End User Content, you hereby grant to us, our licensees, distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, a perpetual, worldwide, irrevocable, assignable, fully-paid, royalty-free license, fully sublicensable through multiple tiers, to exercise all intellectual property rights, in and to all or any part of your End User Content, and exploit the End User Content by any means, including by creating derivative works of End User Content or for purposes of advertising and promotion, in any medium now known or hereafter developed.

If we facilitate the creation of materials through features or activities on our Sites or through our Services (including our “game creator” games, mash-ups, activities, sweepstakes, contests, promotions, forums, etc.) that require the use of our copyrighted Materials, in whole or in part, we hereby grant to you a non-exclusive license to create a derivative work using our copyrighted Materials, but only for the purpose of creating your materials as part of your enjoyment of the Services and always in accordance with these Terms of Use, and you agree that Adult Swim is the owner of such Materials and derivative works. If such rights in derivative works are not assignable to us, then your license to create derivative works using our copyrighted Materials shall be null and void. You agree to the foregoing whether or not your materials are used by us in any manner.

c. Display of End User Content

You acknowledge and agree that you must evaluate, and bear the risk associated with, the accuracy, completeness or usefulness of any End User Content. Adult Swim reserves the right, but does not undertake the responsibility, to remove End User Content at any time that it deems to be harmful, offensive, or otherwise in violation of these Terms of Use. Without limitation of any of its other rights, Adult Swim shall have the right to display and publish any information associated with any characters developed in your Account, for example, in charts, lists and other compilations, such as “Top Ten” lists and the like without any prior notification to you and without any compensation or any form of recompense whatsoever. Adult Swim also reserves the right to invoke the “safe harbor” provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)) concerning the removal of copyrighted or trademarked materials from the Sites and Services. Please be advised that End User Content posted in public areas of the Services does not necessarily reflect the views of Adult Swim. In no event shall Adult Swim assume or have any responsibility or liability for any End User Content posted or for any claims, damages or losses resulting from use of End User Content and/or appearance of End User Content on the Services.

You understand that you should never provide any private or personally identifiable information to any other player or end user and will not hold Adult Swim responsible for the consequences of any such disclosure by you. Further, you understand that in using the Services, you may encounter and converse with people who are rude, offensive or belligerent and who may use indecent, obscene, and/or threatening or harassing language. You are free to report any instances of such behavior to Adult Swim, and we will take such measures as we, in our sole business judgment, determine are reasonable when such behavior violates these Terms of Use. However, Adult Swim does not warrant that you will be free from the behavior of others you may deem insulting, demeaning, offensive, threatening or harassing while you use the Services. If Adult Swim chooses not to take any action against an end user, takes an action with which you do not agree or is unable to take any action for any reason, in no event shall Adult Swim be liable to you or any third party for any incidental or consequential damages (however arising, including negligence) or emotional distress, arising out of or in connection with your Account or your use of the Services, even if any of the same have knowledge of the possibility of such damages. Our total liability to you or any third parties shall be limited to an aggregate amount of $100. This disclaimer shall be independent of any other limitation on remedies set forth herein.

d. You may not use any of your own or any third party software to modify the Services or create any other means through which the Services may be accessed or used by others, for example, through server emulators, whether for profit or not. You may not use macros or other stored rapid keystrokes, “dupes,” “cheats” or other patterns of play that facilitate acquisition of Premium Items, Virtual Currency, or other Account Attributes at an accelerated rate when compared with ordinary game play. You may not use your or third party software to rewrite or modify the user interface or otherwise manipulate data in such a way as to use the Services to acquire Premium Items, Virtual Currency, or other Account Attributes or beneficial actions not actually acquired or performed in a game.

e. You must use the Services in a manner consistent with any and all applicable laws, rules and regulations. Illegal or unauthorized uses of the Services, including without limitation, collecting usernames or email addresses of registered members by electronic or other means for the purpose of sending unsolicited email and unauthorized framing of or linking to the Services, are not permitted.

f. Your correspondence or business dealings with, or participation in promotions of, advertisers found on or through the Services, including payment and delivery of related goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such advertiser.

You may not engage in any prohibited transaction outside of a game, or encourage or induce any other game player to participate in such a prohibited transaction. The buying, selling, transferring or auctioning of characters, Accounts, Premium Items, Virtual Currency or any other Account Attributes outside of a game, whether through online auctions (for example ebay or other third party brokerage sites), newsgroups or postings on message boards, and/or any offer or attempt to do so, constitutes a violation of these Terms of Use. In addition to violating these Terms of Use, selling and buying of individual characters, Accounts, Premium items, Virtual currency or any other Account Attributes outside of a game constitutes an unauthorized modification of the data comprising the accounts involved in the transaction, an unauthorized modification of proprietary game content, an unauthorized use of the system, and violates Adult Swim’s intellectual property rights. Moreover, engaging in conduct prohibited by this section may also constitute misappropriation, tortious interference with our business or contracts, false designation of origin, endorsement or sponsorship of such trafficking, and tarnishment of the goodwill associated with our Services.

9. Unsolicited Creative Submissions/ Communications

Adult Swim does not accept or consider unsolicited submissions of any kind (e.g. scripts, treatments, concepts, creative ideas or suggestions, pitches, stories, formats, artwork, photographs, drawings, videos, audiovisual works, musical compositions (including lyrics), sound recordings, characterizations, or any other materials) in any format, by any means of transmission (including email). This is to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects independently developed by Adult Swim or its agents might seem to others to be similar to their own creative ideas, suggestions or materials. Any such unsolicited submissions are either discarded or deleted or returned to the sender, in our discretion, without being reviewed (or reviewed solely to the extent necessary to determine that the materials are an unsolicited submission). Therefore, please do not send any unsolicited submissions to Adult Swim.

From time to time, areas on the Sites may expressly request submissions of concepts, stories, artwork, audiovisual works or other potential content from you (“Invited Submissions”). Where this is the case, please carefully read any specific rules or other terms and conditions which appear elsewhere on the Sites to govern those Invited Submissions, as they will affect your legal rights. If no such additional terms and conditions are presented, then these Terms of Use will apply in full to any Invited Submissions you make and Invited Submissions shall be treated as “End User Content.”

In any event, any material, including Invited Submissions, you send to us will not be treated as confidential, and you agree that such materials shall not be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Adult Swim, that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, that you have no expectation of review, compensation or consideration of any type, and that Adult Swim shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any such material.

19. Disputes/Arbitration

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

Adult Swim and you agree that these Terms of Use affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

In the event of a dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Sites or Services, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites or Services, Adult Swim or you must give the other notice of the dispute, claim, or controversy which notice will include a brief written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving it, the facts giving rise to the dispute, claim, or controversy and the relief requested. You must send any such notice to Adult Swim by email to tcncopyrightagent@turner.com AND by U.S. Mail to 1050 Techwood Drive, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30318. To the extent that Adult Swim has your contact information, it will send any such notice to you by U.S. Mail or to your email address. Adult Swim and you will attempt to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy through informal negotiation within thirty (30) days from the date that any notice of dispute, claim, or controversy is sent. Adult Swim and you shall use reasonable, good faith, efforts to settle any dispute, claim, or controversy through consultation and good faith negotiations. After 30 days, Adult Swim or you may resort to the other alternatives described in this section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the notice and 30-day negotiation period required by this paragraph shall not apply, however, to disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Sites or Services.

Except as otherwise specifically set forth below, any dispute, claim, or controversy of any kind between Adult Swim and you arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with your access to, and/or use of the Sites or Services, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites, if unresolved through informal discussions within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice, shall be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the state in which you reside. Notwithstanding the foregoing, disputes, claims, or controversies concerning patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets and claims of piracy or unauthorized use of the Sites shall not be subject to arbitration.

For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in New York, New York, and Adult Swim and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any state or federal court in New York, New York to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

The arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, governed by the Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and fee information are available at “http://www.adr.org".

Adult Swim shall bear the cost of any arbitration filing fees and arbitration fees for claims of up to $75,000, unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be frivolous. You are responsible for all other additional costs that you may incur in the arbitration including, but not limited to attorney’s fees and expert witness costs unless Adult Swim is otherwise specifically required to pay such fees under applicable law. For claims that total more than $75,000, the AAA Rules will govern payment of filing fees and arbitration fees. The decision of the arbitrator will be in writing and binding and conclusive on Adult Swim and you, and judgment to enforce the decision may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction. Adult Swim and you agree that dispositive motions, including without limitation, motions to dismiss and motions for summary judgment will be allowed in the arbitration. The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and can award the same damages and relief as a court, including injunctive or other equitable relief and attorney’s fees. Adult Swim and you understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, Adult Swim and you would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. Adult Swim and you further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If your claim is solely for monetary relief of $10,000 or less, and does not include a request for any type of equitable remedy, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely based on documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing under the AAA Rules.

You may choose to pursue your claim in small claims court where jurisdiction and venue over Adult Swim and you otherwise qualify for such small claims court and where your claim does not include a request for any type of equitable relief.

You have the right to opt-out and not be bound by these arbitration provisions by sending written notice of your decision to opt-out to the following address 1050 Techwood Drive, N.W., Atlanta, GA 30318 AND the following Email address tcncopyrightagent@turner.com. The notice must be sent within the later of 30 days of your first use of the Site(s) or Services or within 30 days of changes to this section being announced on the Site(s) or Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate any disputes, claims, or controversies in accordance with the terms of these paragraphs. If you opt-out of these arbitration provisions, Adult Swim also will not be bound by them. If you do not affirmatively elect to opt out as described above, your use of the Sites will be deemed to be your irrevocable acceptance of these Terms of Use and any changes/updates to this section or otherwise.

If any clause within these arbitration provisions is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that specific clause will be severed from these arbitration provisions, and the remainder of the arbitration provisions will be given full force and effect. In the event some or all of these arbitration provisions are determined to be unenforceable for any reason, or if a claim, dispute or controversy is brought that is found by a court to be excluded from the scope of these arbitration provisions, Adult Swim and you agree to waive, to the fullest extent allowed by law, any trial by jury.

The terms of these arbitration provisions will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any present or future parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Adult Swim to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Sites or Services, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites or Services.

Adult Swim and you further agree that Adult Swim and you shall not participate in any consolidated, class, or representative proceeding (existing or future) brought by any third party arising under these Terms of Use or in connection with the Sites or Services.

If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this section is void or unenforceable for any reason or that arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the disputes, claims or controversies will not be subject to arbitration and must be litigated in federal court located in New York, New York.

The terms of this provision will also apply to any claims asserted by you against any parent, subsidiary, or affiliated company of Adult Swim to the extent that any such claims arise out of your access to, and/or use of the Sites or Services, and/or the provision of content, services, and/or technology on or through the Sites or Services.
