  The Site may contain message boards, blogs, forums, social media integrations, chat rooms, and/or other interactive functions (collectively, "Site Forums"). The functionality of the Site may allow you to:

  • • provide content (including, without limitation, text or photographs, video, or other graphics), e-mail communications or other information that is to be posted on or through the Site (collectively, as provided by any user "Forum Information"); and

• You acknowledge that

    • LF does not endorse or adopt (and has not necessarily reviewed) any Forum Information nor assumes any responsibility for any material therein; and
    • LF shall have the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to refuse or remove any Forum Information on the Site and to edit or delete any Objectionable material

    If you believe that LF has acted mistakenly with respect to certain Forum Information or other content, you may contact us at info@laughfactory.com , in which case we may investigate the matter further. We reserve the right, however, to take no further action.
You agree not to post any Forum Information that is Objectionable. In the event that you post or make accessible communications or other materials that we determine in our sole discretion are Objectionable, LF shall terminate your access to the Site. If you believe that Forum Information remains on the Site that violates your rights, your sole remedy shall be against the person responsible for posting or storing it, not against us. If you believe that Forum Information remains on the Site that infringes your copyrights, you must follow the procedure set forth in Section 16 below.

    In addition to the restrictions on disclosure of Personal Information as set forth in LF's Privacy Policy, LF will not edit, delete, or disclose the contents of your personally identifiable information submitted in connection with your Forum Information or your use of the Site unless:

    • you authorize LF to do so;
    • you yourself disclose your identity or other personal information about yourself in a Site Forum or as part of Forum Information posted to an area of the Site accessible to other users; or
    • if LF is required to do so by law or in the good faith belief that such action is necessary to:

      You acknowledge that

      • conform with applicable laws or comply with legal process served on LF;
      • protect and defend the rights or property of LF or another user; or
      • enforce these Terms.

  The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event you submit personally identifiable information as part of your use of a Site Forum, including without limitation, your email address, you understand and agree that all such personally identifiable information so submitted may be disclosed within the Site Forums to other users. Personally identifiable information submitted by you as part of your use of a Site Forum, is explicitly excluded from the LF Privacy Policy.

  By submitting any content or Forum Information to the Site, including message boards, forums, contests, social media networks, and chat rooms, you grant us and our contractors and affiliates a royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, communicate to the public, perform, and display (either publicly or by digital audio transmission) the content or Forum Information (in whole or in part) and/or to incorporate it in other works in any form, media, or technology now known or later developed, for the full term of any rights that may exist in such content, subject to our Privacy Policy with respect to your Personal Information (as defined in the Privacy Policy). You also warrant that the holder of any rights in such content has completely and effectively waived all such rights and validly and irrevocably granted to you the right to grant the license stated above.

• PAYMENTS

  Certain subscription, pay per view and other fee-based services ("Pay Services") offered through the Site may require the user to pay to LF fees for the Pay Services at the times and in the amounts specified on the Site. LF bills you through an online account (your "Billing Account") for Pay Services. You agree to pay LF all charges at the prices then in effect for any Pay Services ordered by you or other persons (including your agents) using your Billing Account, and you authorize LF to charge your payment method (your "Payment Method") for such Pay Services. You agree to make payment using your selected Payment Method. If LF does not receive payment from the provider of your Payment Method (the "Payment Method Provider"), you agree to pay all amounts due on your Billing Account upon demand. LF reserves the right to limit the selection of, and changes to, your Payment Method Provider.

  You must provide current, complete, and accurate information for your Billing Account in order to receive the Pay Services ordered. You must promptly update all information to keep your Billing Account current, complete, and accurate (such as a change in billing address, credit card number, or credit card expiration date), and you must promptly notify LF if your payment method is canceled (for example, for loss or theft) or if you become aware of a potential breach of security, such as the unauthorized disclosure or use of your password.

  IF YOU FAIL TO PROVIDE LF ANY OF THE FOREGOING INFORMATION, YOU AGREE THAT LF MAY CONTINUE CHARGING YOU FOR ANY PAY SERVICE PROVIDED UNDER YOUR BILLING ACCOUNT, UNLESS YOU HAVE TERMINATED YOUR ACCOUNT FOR SUCH PAY SERVICE (CONFIRMED IN WRITING UPON REQUEST).

  Prices for all Pay Services exclude all applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, unless expressly stated otherwise, excluding taxes based upon LF's net income. To the extent permissible by law, you agree to be responsible for any applicable taxes and telecommunication charges, whether or not such amounts are charged to your Billing Account or Payment Method.
 LF expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to change the pricing of all Pay Services, from time to time. If you and LF have agreed to a specific duration and price for your Pay Services, then any price change for that service will not apply to your continued use of Pay Services under that plan (provided that you do not change plans or otherwise interrupt your subscription) until the first day following the expiration of the specific term to which you and LF have agreed. For example, if you have signed up for a plan at a particular monthly price for 12 months, then any subsequent price increase for that plan will not apply to you until either your 12-month subscription expires or you choose to terminate your plan before the conclusion of the 12-month period, whichever is earlier.

  If the amount to be charged to your Billing Account varies from the amount you have preauthorized, whether as a result of your selection of a new plan, or a change in pricing of your current plan, you have the right to receive, and LF will provide, notice of the amount to be charged and the date of the charge prior the scheduled date of the transaction. In the event the change in the amount to be charged is attributable to a change in the pricing of your existing plan and you do not agree to such change, then you must cancel your plan and stop using the Pay Services prior to the effective date of such change. Your continued use of the Pay Services after the effective date of such change constitutes your acceptance of and agreement to such change. Any agreement you have with the Payment Method Provider will govern your use of that Payment Method.

  LF MAY SUBMIT ALL PERIODIC CHARGES (FOR EXAMPLE, ANNUALLY IN ADVANCE) FOR YOUR PAY SERVICE, ON SUCH ANNUAL OR OTHER PERIODIC BASIS WITHOUT FURTHER AUTHORIZATION FROM YOU, UNTIL YOU PROVIDE PRIOR NOTICE (CONFIRMED IN WRITING UPON REQUEST) THAT YOU HAVE TERMINATED THIS AUTHORIZATION OR WISH TO CHANGE YOUR PAYMENT METHOD. SUCH NOTICE WILL NOT AFFECT CHARGES SUBMITTED BEFORE LF REASONABLY COULD ACT.

  Your continued use of the Pay Services on your Billing Account reaffirms that LF is authorized to charge your Payment Method. LF may submit those charges for payment and you will be responsible for such charges. Those submissions will not waive LF's right to seek payment directly from you.

  ALL FEES ARE NON-REFUNDABLE, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EVEN IF YOUR PAY SERVICE IS SUSPENDED, CANCELLED, OR TRANSFERRED PRIOR TO THE END OF THE THEN-CURRENT PAY SERVICE TERM.

  In the event of a charge back by your Payment Method Provider or other non-payment by you in connection with your payment of the applicable Pay Service or renewal fee, you acknowledge and agree that the Pay Service for which such fee has not been paid may be suspended, canceled, or terminated, in LF's sole discretion. LF will reinstate any such Pay Service solely at its discretion, and subject to our receipt of the applicable Pay Service or renewal fee.

• Marks

  Certain product, service, or company designations for companies other than LF may be mentioned in the Site for identification purposes only. Such designations are often claimed as trademarks or service marks. In all instances where LF is aware of a claim, the designation appears in initial capital or all capital letters. However, you should contact the appropriate companies for more complete information regarding such designations and their registration status.

• Modifications To Terms

  LF may change these Terms from time to time. Your continued use of this Site following the posting of any changes to the Terms constitutes your acceptance of those changes. If you object to any provision of these Terms or any subsequent modifications to these Terms or become dissatisfied with the Site in any way, your only recourse is to immediately terminate use of the Site.

• Termination of Site/Modifications To Site

  LF reserves the right to modify or terminate these Terms or your access to the Site (or portions of the Site), temporarily or permanently, with or without notice to you, and is not obligated to support or update the Site. Sections 1, and 3-18 of these Terms shall survive any termination of these Terms or your right to access to the Site. You acknowledge and agree that LF will not be liable to you or any third party in the event that LF exercises its right to modify or terminate access to the Site (or portions of the Site). Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augment or enhance the current Site will be subject to these Terms.

  LF will treat any information it collects from you in accordance with its Privacy Policy. Certain areas of the Site may require a password, and may require the user to register and provide certain data to LF, and with respect to purchases of LF products via the store, to LF's contractors. LF may refuse to offer a password to any person and may change its criteria for access to the password-protected areas of the Site at any time, in its sole discretion. In consideration of use of these portions of the Site, you represent and warrant that, in registering and providing such data to LF:

  • • the information about yourself is true, accurate, current, and complete as required by various LF registration forms ("Registration Information"); and
    • you will maintain and promptly update the Registration Information to keep it true, accurate, current, and complete

  If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, or LF has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current, or incomplete, LF has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Site. All Registration Information will be treated in accordance with LF's Privacy Policy. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords, and are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your passwords, whether or not expressly authorized by you.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY IN SOME CIRCUMSTANCES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

  Content or this Site or your access to or links to this Site, shall be resolved by arbitration before three neutral arbitrators administered by the American Arbitration Association in New York City, in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules, as then in effect. Except for punitive damages (which may not be awarded), any provisional or equitable remedy which would be available from a court of law shall be available from the arbitrators to parties.
