Terms and Conditions

IDW Entertainment TERMS OF USE

1) INTRODUCTION. These terms of use, as amended from time to time, are a legal agreement between IDW Media Holdings (IDWMH) and IDW Entertainment (IDW Entertainment), its affiliates and any of their respective successors or assigns (collectively, “IDW Entertainment,” “we” or “us”) and you regarding your use of IDW Entertainment’s websites, products or applications created or controlled by IDW (collectively, the “Services”). The Services are offered to you by IDW Entertainment and, in certain instances, its development and technology partners, suppliers, service providers, licensors and licensees (collectively, “Third Party Providers”) who may assist in the development, hosting, operation, distribution, marketing, publication or exploitation of the Services. Your access to and the use of the Services is subject to your acceptance of the terms, conditions, policies and notices contained herein (the “Agreement”) and constitute a legal contract between you and IDW Entertainment. By accessing and using any part of the Services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood and agree to be bound by this Agreement. Additionally, when you use or access the Services, you will also be subject to our Privacy Policy (as of the most recent effective date) and any additional rules, guidelines or policies applicable to certain parts of the Services that we may post or are otherwise communicated to you. If you do not agree to be bound by this Agreement or the Privacy Policy, then please discontinue using or accessing the Services. We reserve the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of this Agreement at any time. Please check this Agreement periodically for changes. Your continued use of the Services after the posting of changes will mean you agree to abide by those changes.

2) SUBMISSIONS. IDW Entertainment company policy does not allow us to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those we have specifically requested. Accordingly, we must request that unless so requested (and subject to separate and additional terms IDW Entertainment may require) no users of the Services submit or send any original creative materials, including but not limited to submissions of scripts, story lines, characters, drawings, information, suggestions, ideas or concepts. If you send certain specific submissions (e.g., postings to chats, surveys, message boards, contests, or similar items) or, despite our request that you not send us any other creative materials, you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, drawings, concepts, or other information (collectively the “Submissions”) such Submissions shall be deemed and shall remain the property of IDW Entertainment in perpetuity. By making any Submission, the sender automatically grants, or warrants that the owner of such material expressly grants, IDW Entertainment the royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive right and license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, and distribute such material (in whole or in part) throughout the universe and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media or technology now known or hereafter developed for any purpose that IDW Entertainment chooses, whether internal, public, commercial, or otherwise, without any compensation, credit or notice to the sender whatsoever. The sender waives all so-called “moral rights” in all Submissions. The sender further waives the right to make any claims against IDW Entertainment relating to unsolicited Submissions, including, but not limited to, unfair competition, breach of implied contract and/or breach of confidentiality.

3) GRANT OF LIMITED LICENSE TO USE THE SERVICES. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you are hereby granted a limited non-exclusive, non-transferable, non- assignable revocable license during the term of this Agreement to access and use the Services in the manner in which their use is intended by IDW Entertainment. Except in connection with the foregoing limited license, you acknowledge that you shall acquire no other rights in any IDW Entertainment products or any part of the Services unless specifically and expressly granted by IDW Entertainment in writing. You agree that, as between you and IDW Entertainment, all the intellectual property rights in the Services are owned or controlled by IDW Entertainment or its licensors. ALL RIGHTS NOT EXPRESSLY GRANTED IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE RESERVED BY IDW Entertainment. IDW Entertainment reserves the right to interrupt all or any aspect of Services from time to time on a regularly scheduled basis or otherwise with or without prior notice, for any reason (or no reason), including, without limitation, in order to perform maintenance. You understand and agree that delays and disruptions of other network transmissions are completely beyond our control. You acknowledge that the Services may also be interrupted for reasons beyond the control of IDW Entertainment and IDW Entertainment cannot guarantee that you will be able to access the Services or your User Account (as defined below) whenever you may wish to do so. IDW Entertainment has the right at any time for any reason or no reason to change and/or eliminate any aspect of the Services as IDW Entertainment shall determine at its discretion. Solely for purposes of clarity and without limiting or waiving any term or condition set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, we are entitled, with immediate effect, to block your access to the Services where you use the Services in a manner that violates applicable law or in a manner that IDW Entertainment determines is a breach of this Agreement. Your right to access and use the Services is provided at our discretion, and your account may be suspended or terminated at any time and for any reason. Only individuals may apply for registration, and organizations or companies are not eligible to register for Services without the express written permission of IDW Entertainment, which it may withhold in its discretion.

4) ELIGIBILITY. You are only eligible to register for certain Services if you meet certain requirements as may be set forth at the time of registration. If you do not meet such requirements, then you may not register for Services.

5) USER ACCOUNT. Certain content and Services that IDW Entertainment may offer or that you may wish to access will require that you first register with IDW Entertainment and create an account (“User Account”), although many Services are accessible without the requirement of a User Account. This Agreement applies equally to your access to and use of the Services without establishing a User Account as well as your access to and/or use of the Services for which a User Account is required.

a) Establishing a User Account. To establish a User Account, you may be required to provide IDW Entertainment with certain personal information, including without limitation, your first and last name, date of birth, e-mail address, account information for certain third party sites or networks such as Facebook or Twitter, phone numbers (including cell phone numbers), mailing address and zip code that may be used to identify you as an authorized user of the Service. You agree that you will supply accurate information to IDW Entertainment when requested, and that you will update that information promptly if it changes. IDW Entertainment reserves all rights to pursue legal action against all persons who misrepresent personal information or who are otherwise untruthful about their identity, and to suspend or cancel User Accounts registered with inaccurate or incomplete information.
b) Login Information. During the registration process, or in connection with certain features or products that may be available through the Services, you may be required to select a username and a password (collectively, “Login Information”). It is important that you remember your Login Information and that you keep your Login Information in a safe and secure offline location. You may not share or transfer your User Account or the Login Information with anyone other than as expressly set forth in this Agreement. You are responsible for protecting the confidentiality of the Login Information, and you will be responsible for all use of your User Account accessed with your Login Information, whether or not authorized by you. Any unauthorized access, use, distribution or transfer of your User Account or Login Information may result in suspension, termination, or cancellation of your User Account and your access to and use of the Services.
c) Security of Your User Account and Login Information. In the event that you become aware of or suspect unauthorized use of your User Account or Login Information or any other breach of security, you agree to immediately notify IDW Entertainment of such use pursuant to the Notice provision below, and ensure that you secure your User Account, Login Information and computer from unauthorized access and use. Once we are notified of any unauthorized use or breach of security, we will attempt to reset your Login Information, which may require you to provide us with a new username or password. In accordance with our Privacy Policy, we have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures to help safeguard and prevent unauthorized access, use or disclosure of your personal information. Although we use reasonable efforts to safeguard the security of your personal information, transmissions made on or through the Internet and personal information stored on our servers or the servers of Third Party Providers that we may use are vulnerable to attack and cannot be guaranteed to be secure. In addition, submissions made via email are not protected by encryption and are vulnerable to interception during transmission. IDW Entertainment hereby disclaims any liability for security breaches, access to or disclosure of your personal information or the unavailability of the Services or any delay or failure to perform resulting from any causes whatsoever.
d) No Ownership of Your User Account. YOU AGREE THAT YOU HAVE NO OWNERSHIP OR OTHER PROPERTY INTEREST IN YOUR USER ACCOUNT, AND THAT ALL RIGHTS IN AND TO THE USER ACCOUNTS ARE AND SHALL FOREVER BE OWNED BY AND INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF IDW Entertainment.

Your use of the Services is governed by certain rules (the “Code of Conduct”) maintained and enforced by or on behalf of IDW Entertainment and to which you (and all users) must adhere. It is your responsibility to know, understand and abide by the Code of Conduct. The following rules are not meant to be exhaustive. In addition to the conduct specified below, IDW Entertainment reserves the right, in its discretion, to take disciplinary or other measures as it sees fit in response to conduct that it deems unacceptable, including, without limitation, to delete or alter any username or the suspension, termination, or cancellation of your User Account and your access to and use of the Services, or terminate any license granted in this Agreement, for any reason IDW Entertainment may deem necessary. IDW Entertainment reserves the right to modify the Code of Conduct at any time.

a) Unacceptable Online Conduct. Any attempt by you to disrupt, or encourage or promote the disruption of the Services may be a violation of criminal and civil laws.

7) BLOGS AND OTHER INTERACTIVE AND SOCIAL FEATURES. To the extent such service is available on our website, you are welcome to post, transmit or submit messages (“Messages”) to forums, blogs, bulletin boards, chat rooms, user commenting features or other interactive or social features that may be offered within, or in connection with, the Services (collectively, “Forums”). If you use any such Forums, you should be aware that any personal information you submit, display, or publish there is considered publicly available and can be read, collected, used, and disclosed by other users of those features, by us, and other third parties without restriction. IDW Entertainment accepts no responsibility whatsoever in connection with or arising from such Messages, or for the personal information you choose to submit in these features. IDW Entertainment does not endorse and has no control over the content of Messages submitted by others to Forums. Messages submitted to Forums are not necessarily reviewed by IDW Entertainment prior to posting and do not necessarily reflect the opinions or policies of IDW Entertainment. IDW Entertainment makes no warranties, express or implied, as to the content of the Messages in the Forums or the accuracy and reliability of any Messages and other materials in the Forums. Nonetheless, IDW Entertainment reserves the right to prevent you from submitting content to Forums and to edit, restrict or remove such Messages for any reason at any time.
IDW Entertainment assumes no responsibility for actively monitoring Forums for inappropriate Messages. If at any time IDW Entertainment chooses, in its sole discretion, to monitor the Forums, IDW Entertainment nonetheless assumes no responsibility for the content of the Messages, no obligation to modify or remove any inappropriate Messages, and no responsibility for the conduct of the user submitting any Message. In submitting Messages to Forums, you agree to strictly limit yourself to discussions about the subject matter for which the Forums are intended. You agree that IDW Entertainment accepts no liability whatsoever if it chooses to block your Messages from being submitted or if it edits, restricts or removes your Messages. You also agree to permit any other user of the IDW Entertainment Services to access, view, store or reproduce the material for that other user’s personal use and not to restrict or inhibit the use of the IDW Entertainment Services by any other person.

You agree that any Message whatsoever submitted by you becomes the property of IDW Entertainment and may be used, copied, sublicensed, adapted, transmitted, distributed, publicly performed and published, displayed or deleted as IDW Entertainment may determine.

You will not post, email or make available any content (including without limitation submission of any Messages to Forums or any Submissions) to users or use the IDW Entertainment Services: (i) in a manner that infringes, violates or misappropriates IDW Entertainment’s or any third party’s copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual or property rights, contractual rights or rights of publicity or privacy (and by submitting Messages to Forums or any Submissions, you represent to IDW Entertainment that you are the rightful owner of such content or that you have first obtained permission to submit the material from the rightful owner); (ii) to reveal any confidential information; (iii) in a manner that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files or programs designed to interrupt, destroy or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware or telecommunications equipment; (iv) to engage in illegal activities or any advertising, commercial, marketing or promotional activities that are intended to solicit a person to buy or sell services or to make donations, or link to, directly or indirectly, any sites that violate this Agreement, any applicable laws, regulations or generally-accepted advertising industry guidelines, including to other users; (v) in a manner that is misleading, deceptive or fraudulent or promotes illegal activities, including engaging in phishing or otherwise obtaining financial or other personal information in a misleading manner or for fraudulent or misleading purposes; (vi) in a manner that is libelous or defamatory, or in a way that is otherwise threatening, abusive, violent, harassing, malicious or harmful to any person or entity, or invasive of another’s privacy or publicity rights; (vi) in a manner that is harmful to minors in any way; (vii) in a manner that is hateful or discriminatory based on race, color, sex, religion, nationality, ethnic or national origin, marital status, disability, sexual orientation or age; or, (viii) is otherwise objectionable, as determined by IDW Entertainment.

No software from the Services may be downloaded or otherwise exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, North Korea, Iran, Syria, Sudan, or any other country to which the U.S. has embargoed goods or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

20) INDEMNITY. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold IDW Entertainment, its Third Party Providers, or any person or entity involved in creating, producing, or distributing any Materials or the Services, or any of their respective directors, officers, employees or agents, harmless from and against any and all damages, costs, losses and expenses, including reasonable attorney fees and court costs relating to or arising directly or indirectly from any suit, claim, demand or settlement based upon your posting or uploading any content using any communication feature or your failure to comply with this Agreement or your violation of any third party right or your violation of any law, rule or regulation of the United States or any other country.

21) INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. You agree that a breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable injury to IDW Entertainment and/or its Third Party Providers for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, IDW Entertainment shall be entitled to seek and obtain equitable relief, including, without limitation, injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled under this Agreement or applicable law, without the need to post bond or other form of security, or provide proof of damages.

22) DISPUTE RESOLUTION AND GOVERNING LAW.

a) Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this Agreement (“Dispute”), you and IDW Entertainment agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days prior to initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person or entity to the other in accordance with the Notice section above.
b) Binding Arbitration. If you and IDW Entertainment are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or IDW Entertainment may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration 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. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. 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 IDW Entertainment 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.
THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL WITH RESPECT TO ALL CLAIMS AND ISSUES ARISING UNDER, IN CONNECTION WITH, TOUCHING UPON OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE BREACH THEREOF AND/OR THE SCOPE OF THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT OR TORT, AND INCLUDING ANY CLAIM FOR FRAUDULENT INDUCEMENT THEREOF. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT, ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
c) Restrictions. You and IDW Entertainment agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between IDW Entertainment and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
d) Exceptions to Informal Resolution and Binding Arbitration. You agree that IDW Entertainment may chose, at its option and discretion, to exclude the following Disputes from (and, as such, the following Disputes will not be subject to) the above provisions concerning informal resolutions and binding arbitration: (i) any Dispute related to or arising from allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or the unauthorized use of IDW Entertainment’s or its Third Party Providers’ intellectual property and/or intellectual property rights; and/or (ii) any claim by IDW Entertainment for injunctive or other equitable relief.
e) Location and Jurisdiction. Any arbitration will be initiated in and take place in the County of San Diego, State of California, United States of America. Any Dispute not subject to arbitration (other than claims proceeding in any small claims court), or where no election to arbitrate has been made, including without limitation the Disputes contained in Section 22(d), shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction wherever located, including, without limitation, in the County of San Diego, State of California, United States of America, and you and IDW Entertainment agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts.
f) Governing Law. Except as expressly provided otherwise, this Agreement shall be governed by, and will be construed and enforced under, the laws, rules and regulations of the United States of America and the laws, rules and regulations of the State of California, excluding conflict of law rules and principles.
g) Severability. You and IDW Entertainment agree that if any portion of this Section 22 (Dispute Resolution and Governing Law) is found illegal or unenforceable (with the exception of 22(d)), that portion shall be severed and the remainder of this section shall be given full force and effect. If Section 22(d) is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor IDW Entertainment will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 22(d) found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the County of San Diego, State of California, United States of America, and you and IDW Entertainment agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.

23) MISCELLANEOUS. Notwithstanding Section 22(g), if any other provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, such provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement, and the validity and enforceability of all other provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior oral and written and all contemporaneous oral negotiations, commitments and understandings of the parties. Sections 2, 3, 8- 9, 11-16 and 18-23 shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of the Services and/or this Agreement or any determination that this Agreement or any portion of this Agreement is void or voidable. You may not assign or transfer this Agreement or your rights hereunder, and any attempt to the contrary is void. This Agreement may only be modified as set forth herein. The section headings used herein are for reference only and shall not be read to have any legal effect.
