1.6 Party Definitions and Introductory Terms

1.6.1. “We” or “Us,” means the service provider of the above referenced website(s) (hereinafter collectively referred to as “Website” or “Site”) and related services, which include allowing Studio Members to upload content to the Site while providing a facility for other Users and Customers to purchase and download such content (“Services”). It should be obvious, but for the sake of legal clarity, when this Agreement uses first-person pronouns such as “Us,” “We,” “Our,” “Ours,” etc., those first-person pronouns are referring to the Website.

1.6.2. “You,” the User – As a User of this Website, this Agreement will hereinafter refer to the User as “You” or through any second-person pronouns, such as “Yours,” etc. Hereinafter, the User of the Website shall be referred to in applicable second-person pronouns.

1.6.3. Visitors v. Customers, Users, – For the purposes of this Agreement, all Customers are Users, but not all Users are Customers. This Agreement applies to all Users whether they are Customers or not. You become a User by accessing this Site in any way, and a “User” refers to Visitors, and Customers collectively. You need not become a Customer of the Site to make this Agreement apply to You. A “Visitor” is someone who merely views Our Site without purchasing content provided by our Studio Members or uploading content for purchase. A “Customer” is someone who views Our Site and has purchased content.

1.7. Consideration – Consideration for Your knowing acquiescence to all of the provisions in this Agreement has been provided to You in the form of allowing You to use Our Website and Our Services. You agree that such Consideration is both adequate, and that it is received upon Your viewing, accessing or downloading any portion of Our Website.

1.8.1. From time to time, We may revise this Agreement. We reserve the right to do so, and You specifically agree that We have this unilateral right. You agree that all modifications or changes to this Agreement are in force immediately upon posting. The updated or edited version supersedes any prior versions immediately upon posting, and the prior version is of no continuing legal effect unless the revised version specifically refers to the prior version and keeps the prior version or portions thereof in effect. To the extent any amendment of this Agreement is deemed ineffective or invalid by any court, the parties intend that the prior, effective version of this Agreement be considered valid and enforceable to the fullest extent.

1.8.2. If We change anything in this Agreement, We will change the “Last Modified Date” at the top of this Agreement.

If the “Last Modified Date” remains unchanged from the last time You reviewed this Agreement, then You may presume that nothing in the Agreement has been changed since the last time You read it. If the “Last Modified Date” has changed, then You can be certain that something in the Agreement has been changed, and You agree that You will re-review the Agreement in its entirety and that You will agree to its terms or immediately cease use of any Website applicable to this Agreement. Your continued Use of the Site or Services after any such revision shall be deemed to be Your acceptance of all revisions.

1.8.3. Waiver – if You fail to re-review this Agreement as required to determine if any of the terms have changed, You assume all responsibility for such omissions and You agree that such failure amounts to Your affirmative waiver of Your right to review the amended Agreement.

12.6. You acknowledge and agree that upon transmission of Your complaint to Us, You will be considered to have engaged in settlement discussions with Us, and neither party will initiate formal legal action while non-adversarial resolution is in progress.

You acknowledge that once You accept any of Our offers of non-adversarial resolution, that You irrevocably waive any and all possible claims for any allegedly offending material on Our Website and that if You do bring any action against Us that You hereby stipulate that You will bear Your own costs and fees incurred in the action, regardless of the outcome of that action, and that You stipulate that Your damages will be limited to one dollar ($1), and no more, and that You hereby acknowledge that such amount of one dollar ($1) is sufficient and adequate.

Nothing contained in this section shall obligate Us to undertake any specific action with regard to a given complaint, and We reserve all rights relating to resolution of disputes of this nature.

14. DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedures:

14.1. We implement the following “notice and takedown” procedure upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement:

14.1.1. We reserve the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any material or activity accessible on or from the Site or any Materials claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent.

14.1.2. It is Our firm policy to terminate the account of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and We will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the DMCA. Our DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding section of this Agreement. If the notice does not comply with that section and §512 of the DMCA, but does comply with three requirements for identifying the site that is infringing according to §512 of the DMCA, We shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notice requirements.

14.1.3. When the Designated Agent receives a valid notice, We will expeditiously remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent receives the counter-notification, We will replace the material at issue within ten to fourteen (10-14) days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity. We reserve the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all Users should regularly check back to these Terms and Conditions to stay current on any such changes.

15. DMCA Counter-Notification Procedures:

15.1. If the Recipient of a Notice of Claimed Infringement (“Notice”) feels that the Notice is erroneous or false, and/or that allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed in response to a Notice as outlined in Section 14.1 above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a Notice. The information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against Us relating to the Content.

15.2. To submit a counter-notification, please provide Our Designated Copyright agent the following information:

15.2.1. A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the Notice.

15.2.2. A description of where the material was located within the Site or the Content before such material was removed and/or disabled. Please provide the specific URL if possible.

15.2.3. A statement reflecting the Recipient’s belief that the removal or disabling of the material was done so erroneously. For convenience, the following format may be used:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”

15.2.4. The Recipient’s physical address, telephone number, and email address. Written notification containing the above information must be signed and sent to:

Jim Weathers Productions, Inc.
27305 Live Oak Road, Suite 461
Castaic, CA 91384

15.3. After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, Our Designated Copyright Agent will forward it to Us, and We will then provide the counter-notification to the entity who first provided the Notice concerning material in the Recipient’s Content.

15.4. Additionally, within ten to fourteen (10-14) days of Our receipt of the counter-notification, We will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that We or Our Designated Copyright Agent have not received notice from the entity who first provided the Notice that such entity has filed a legal action pertaining to the disputed material.
