FIRST-LOOK MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, TIMELY, SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR FREE FROM VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT ANY DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, FIRST-LOOK DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, AND REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, OR THAT THE SERVICES WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR ACHIEVE ANY PARTICULAR RESULTS.

No Legal Advice; No Coverage Substitute
Any information, scoring, feedback, reports, commentary, analysis, evaluations, or recommendations made available through the Services is provided for general informational and creative evaluation purposes only and does not constitute professional advice of any kind. Nothing on the Services constitutes, and nothing should be construed as, legal advice, business advice, investment advice, tax advice, accounting advice, professional representation, fiduciary advice, or professional counsel of any kind.

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL FIRST-LOOK, ITS AFFILIATES, OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, LICENSORS, OR SERVICE PROVIDERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS, LOST REVENUE, LOST DATA, LOSS OF GOODWILL, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES, EVEN IF FIRST-LOOK HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT SHALL FIRST-LOOK'S TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES, AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID TO FIRST-LOOK IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM, OR ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100), WHICHEVER IS GREATER. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless First-Look, its affiliates, and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, service providers, successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees and court costs) arising out of or related to: (a) your use or misuse of the Services; (b) your violation of these Terms or any applicable law or regulation; (c) your violation of any third-party rights, including intellectual property rights or privacy rights; (d) any content you submit, post, or transmit through the Services; (e) any disputes between you and other users; or (f) any unauthorized use of your account. This indemnification obligation shall survive termination of these Terms and your use of the Services. First-Look reserves the right to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you, in which case you agree to cooperate with First-Look's defense of such claim.
First-Look reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice or liability, to suspend, restrict, or terminate your access to all or any part of the Services, or to terminate these Terms and delete your account, for any reason or no reason, including without limitation if: (a) you violate or breach these Terms; (b) First-Look is required to do so by law or legal process; (c) First-Look believes your conduct may harm the Company, other users, or third parties; or (d) to protect the integrity, security, or operation of the Services. Upon termination, your right to use the Services will immediately cease, and First-Look may, without liability, delete or disable your account and all associated content. Sections addressing ownership, licenses granted to First-Look, disclaimers, limitations of liability, indemnification, dispute resolution, and other provisions that by their nature should survive shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms. You may terminate your account at any time by following the account closure procedures provided in the Services, but you will remain liable for all obligations accrued prior to termination.
Users accessing the Services from outside the United States do so at their own initiative and risk and are solely responsible for compliance with all applicable local, state, national, and international laws and regulations. Company makes no representation that the Services are appropriate or available for use outside the United States, and accessing the Services from territories where the content or functionality is illegal is prohibited.
A. Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Tennessee or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Tennessee. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply.
B. Binding Arbitration
Except as expressly provided below, any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect (or, if AAA is unable or unwilling to administer the arbitration, by another nationally recognized arbitration provider mutually agreed upon by the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, selected by a court of competent jurisdiction), except as modified by this Section. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration provision. Any questions concerning the arbitrability of any dispute, including questions about the formation, existence, validity, scope, or enforceability of this arbitration agreement, shall be decided by the arbitrator and not by a court.
The arbitration shall be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. The arbitration shall take place in Nashville, Tennessee, or remotely by videoconference at Company's election. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy or relief that would be available in court under law or in equity, including but not limited to injunctive relief, but shall not have the authority to award punitive, exemplary, or multiplied damages, or any other damages not measured by the prevailing party's actual compensatory damages, except as may be required by applicable statute or law. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that includes the essential findings of fact and conclusions of law on which the award is based, with sufficient detail to permit judicial review as provided by law. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. Each party shall bear its own costs and attorneys' fees, except that the arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the prevailing party if permitted by applicable law or if a party is found to have brought claims or defenses that were frivolous or brought in bad faith. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Company is the prevailing party, Company shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys' fees and costs to the extent permitted by law.
C. Exceptions to Arbitration
Either party may seek injunctive or equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction in Nashville, Tennessee (or, at Company's sole election, in the jurisdiction where you reside or where the violation occurred) to prevent or address actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights, confidentiality obligations, or platform security, without the requirement to post a bond or other security. Such action may be brought concurrently with or independently of any arbitration proceeding. Additionally, either party may pursue claims in small claims court if the claims qualify and remain in such court. Company may also pursue collection actions for unpaid fees in any court of competent jurisdiction, and you consent to personal jurisdiction and venue in such courts for such collection actions.
D. Waiver of Class Actions and Jury Trial
YOU AND FIRST-LOOK AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL PROCEEDING. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims, may not join or consolidate claims from different arbitrations, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, class, collective, or private attorney general proceeding, nor may the arbitrator award relief to anyone other than you individually. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this arbitration provision (including the requirement to arbitrate on an individual basis) shall be null and void and any dispute shall be resolved in court as set forth in Section 13.C, but the remainder of these Terms (including all other waivers and limitations) shall remain in full force and effect. You acknowledge that this class action waiver is material and essential to the arbitration agreement and that Company would not have agreed to arbitrate disputes without this waiver.
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, YOU AND FIRST-LOOK HEREBY KNOWINGLY, VOLUNTARILY, AND IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING, CLAIM, OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS, THE SERVICES, YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH COMPANY, OR ANY MATTERS WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, OR OTHERWISE. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES, INCLUDING THOSE THAT MAY ARISE AFTER TERMINATION OF THESE TERMS. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL REGARDING THIS WAIVER AND THAT YOU UNDERSTAND THE CONSEQUENCES OF WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
First-Look reserves the right to modify these Terms at any time in its sole discretion. We will provide notice of material changes by posting the updated Terms on the Services with a revised "Last Updated" date at least thirty (30) days before the effective date of such changes. For material changes, we will also provide additional notice via email to your registered account email address. For changes to the dispute resolution, arbitration, class action waiver, or limitation of liability provisions, we will provide at least sixty (60) days' advance notice. Your continued access to or use of the Services after the effective date of the revised Terms (which shall be no sooner than the notice periods specified above) constitutes your binding acceptance of the revised Terms. You will have the opportunity to review the revised Terms during the notice period before they become effective. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using the Services and may terminate your account. Changes to the dispute resolution provisions will not apply to disputes that arose before the effective date of the change.
Before initiating arbitration or any court proceeding (except for claims filed in small claims court or actions seeking injunctive relief), you agree to first provide detailed written notice of the dispute to First-Look and attempt in good faith to resolve the matter informally for a period of at least thirty (30) days. Notice must include your name, account email, telephone number, a detailed description of the dispute (including relevant facts and any supporting documentation), the specific provisions of these Terms alleged to have been breached, and the specific relief sought with a calculation of damages, if any. Notices must be sent by certified mail to First-Look, LLC, Legal Department, 1321 BEDDINGTON PARK, NASHVILLE, TN 37215-5814, with a copy via email to legal@first-look.net. Company will provide you with notice of its disputes by certified mail to the physical address associated with your account (if provided) and via email to your account email address. You agree to maintain current and accurate contact information in your account settings. The parties agree that the informal resolution period shall toll any applicable statute of limitations, arbitration filing deadlines, and other time-based defenses from the date the complying party sends its notice until thirty (30) days after the notice is received by the other party or until the parties mutually agree that informal resolution has been unsuccessful, whichever occurs first. The party receiving the notice must acknowledge receipt within five (5) business days. Compliance with this informal dispute resolution process is a condition precedent to filing any arbitration demand or lawsuit.
First-Look respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). If you believe that content available through the Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA notice to First-Look's designated Copyright Agent at: 1321 BEDDINGTON PARK, NASHVILLE, TN 37215-5814, Email: dmca@first-look.net. Your notice must include all elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), including: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing with sufficient detail to enable us to locate it; (iv) your contact information, including address, telephone number, and email; (v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized; and (vi) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notice is accurate and you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Upon receipt of a proper DMCA notice, First-Look will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content. First-Look has adopted and reasonably implements a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. First-Look reserves the right to remove allegedly infringing content and terminate accounts in its sole discretion, with or without notice. If you believe content was removed in error, you may submit a DMCA counter-notice in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the Copyright Agent listed above, containing all statutorily required elements. First-Look will forward counter-notices to the original complainant and may restore the content in accordance with the DMCA's safe harbor procedures unless the complainant files a court action.
Nothing in these Terms or use of the Services creates any fiduciary duty, agency relationship, partnership, joint venture, employment relationship, or independent contractor relationship between you and First-Look, or between you and any other user. The relationship between you and First-Look is solely that of independent contracting parties. First-Look does not control, and has no obligation to control, your use of the Services or content you upload. You acknowledge that First-Look acts solely as a platform provider and has no involvement in transactions between users.
You may not assign, transfer, delegate, or otherwise dispose of these Terms or any rights or obligations hereunder, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of First-Look, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be null and void. First-Look may assign, transfer, or delegate these Terms and any rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without restriction and without notice to you, including but not limited to in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, sale of all or substantially all assets, or other corporate transaction. These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.
Provisions which by their nature should survive termination shall survive, including ownership, disclaimers, limitation of liability, indemnification, and dispute resolution provisions.
These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and First-Look regarding the Services and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements or understandings, whether written or oral.
You acknowledge that you have not relied on any statement, representation, promise, or assurance not expressly set forth in these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including any statements made by First-Look personnel, partners, or third parties.
