collection and use (as set forth in the Privacy Policy) of this information. To
access the Privacy Policy, please click here.

5. CONTENT AND USER UPLOADED CONTENT

In connection with the Services, you may submit certain types of Content. By
uploading, you are confirming that the Content is yours—no one else’s—and that
the uploading and use of your Content does not violate the privacy rights,
publicity rights, copyrights, Agreements’ rights, intellectual property rights,
human rights or legal rights of somebody else. If we learn that you are
infringing others’ rights or are using Content that is not yours, Photobucket
has the right to remove this Content and you agree that you are responsible for
any costs associated with the infringement. Photobucket may manipulate and
display your Content as well as obtain image tagging from our vendors to offer
the Services (including transcoding and/or reformatting Content) to allow its
use throughout the Services. For purposes of these Terms of Use, we have defined
the following types of Content:

Content: “Content” means a creative expression and includes, without limitation,
video, audio, music, still or moving photographs, images, illustrations,
animations, logos, tools, written posts, replies and comments, information,
data, text, software, scripts, executable files, and graphics, any of which may
be generated, provided, or otherwise made accessible on or through the Services.
Content shall include User Uploaded Content.

User Uploaded Content Definition: Our Services allow you to upload the most
commonly used image and video files. These image files and video files, both in
their native uploaded form and any subsequently edited version stored with the
Services, are referred to individually and collectively as “User Uploaded
Content.” User Uploaded Content may be Private User Uploaded Content, Public
User Uploaded Content, or Shareable User Uploaded Content. When uploading
Content or other Personal Information, it is up to you to satisfy yourself about
the privacy level of every person who might use it. Once your information enters
the public domain, we have no control over what any individual third party may
do with it. We accept no responsibility for their actions at any time. Please
note that User Uploaded Content, in addition to being subject to this Terms of
Use, is also governed by ourPrivacy Policy and our Biometric Information Privacy
Policy.

Private User Uploaded Content Definition: In the past versions of Services
offered by Photobucket, a Subscriber with an Account could mark any album with
User Uploaded Content they uploaded as “private” (“Private User Uploaded
Content”). Although we created measures to protect your privacy, please be aware
that just because something is marked “private” does not mean that only the
people you invite will see it in all instances. For example, individuals may
still be able to find the direct URL for a photo or through other search
mechanisms, and then share or link to it outside the Services. If you share
Private User Uploaded Content from the Services or provide someone with a direct
link to Private User Uploaded Content, others may be able to see it, even if you
marked it “private” according to the past versions of the Services. We are not
responsible for any shared Private User Uploaded Content that has been shared
after being marked as “private” according to the past Services offered by
Photobucket.

Public User Uploaded Content Definition: The past versions of Services offered
by Photobucket allowed you to upload and share images and information that, by
doing so and marking such albums with the images “Public”, you intended to be
viewed, copied, downloaded, or used by other people such as: (a) tagging,
describing or commenting on images, whether such images are posted by you or
someone else; (b) making comments on a forum; or (c) clicking on an icon next to
another user’s image or comment to convey your agreement, disagreement or
thanks. This content is referred to as “Public User Uploaded Content.” The
concept of “Public” from the past versions of Services offered by Photobucket no
longer exists for new uploads of User Uploaded Content as of February 6, 2024.
User Uploaded Content or albums in the current version of the Services that were
Public User Uploaded Content prior to February 6, 2024, remains Public for
Legacy Free Accounts. User Uploaded Content uploaded as of February 6, 2024, is
not Public User Uploaded Content.

Sharable User Uploaded Content Definition: Albums and User Uploaded Content in
the current version of the Services that were uploaded from a Paid Account, are
not Public User Uploaded Content because they are shareable instead of Public
(“Sharable User Uploaded Content”). Public User Uploaded Content prior to
February 6, 2024, for Paid Accounts converted to Shareable User Uploaded Content
as of February 6, 2024, because in the current version of the Services, albums
with User Uploaded Content can be shared by creating a link. This link can be
viewed by those with access to it and can also be password protected. These
links are referred to as “Sharing Links”. Although we created measures to
protect your privacy, please be aware that just because something is accessible
through a Sharing Link does not mean that only the people you invite will see it
in all instances. We are also not responsible for any shared User Uploaded
Content that has been shared with a Sharing Link (i.e., Shareable User Uploaded
Content) under the current version of the Services. If you have questions about
your User Uploaded Content please contact us at support@photobucket.com.

All User Uploaded Content will be considered non-confidential and
non-proprietary. You must not create, upload, or input any User Uploaded Content
that you consider to be confidential or proprietary. Subscribers retain
ownership of all intellectual property rights in their User Uploaded Content.
When you upload Private User Uploaded Content, you grant us a worldwide,
non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable right and
license to: copy, stream, post, display, publicly perform and reproduce the
Private User Uploaded Content so that we may offer our Services to you and to
others at your request (e.g. image sharing and hosting by you) as well as other
rights set forth herein.

You grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
transferable, right and license to: copy, stream, post, display, publicly
perform, and reproduce the Sharable User Uploaded Content so that we may offer
the Services to you and to others at your request (e.g. image sharing and
hosting by you) as well as other rights set forth herein. You further grant
Photobucket a worldwide, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
transferable, right and license to: copy, convey, distribute, stream, post,
publicly display (e.g. post it elsewhere), publicly perform, reproduce Public
User Uploaded Content and create derivative works from it (meaning things based
on it), whether in print or any kind of electronic version that exists now or is
later developed, for any purpose, including a commercial purpose with the right
to sublicense such rights to others.In particular, to the extent permitted by
the laws of your region, you grant us the right to commercialize, including the
right to license or sell your Public User Uploaded Content to third parties for
the scanning and processing of Public User Uploaded Content, including

solely for the purpose of artificial intelligence and machine learning training
and the subsequent uses derived therefrom. The law in areas such as data privacy
is continually changing. If you notice something amiss, please contact us at
support@photobucket.com, and we will review and remedy the issue as appropriate.

Photobucket has the right to place advertising, promotions, notifications or
identifiers, banners and watermarks on or near your Content as well as
watermark, blur or block your hosted images in the event that you have exceeded
our bandwidth limitations described elsewhere in these Terms of Use, and how and
what are up to us.

your Public User Uploaded Content. Opting out requires your account to be
deleted.

Date listed above (“Initial Opt out Period”). During the Initial Opt out Period,
you can opt out before any license or sale takes effect. Please note that if you
opt out, it will be necessary to delete your Account and all of your User
Uploaded Content. Therefore, if you decide to opt out, please download and save
any of your User Uploaded Content you wish to keep and store.

After the end of the Initial Opt out Period, you will still have the option to
opt out from granting Photobucket the right to sell, lease, trade or otherwise
profit from the disclosure of your Biometric Information contained in your
Public User Uploaded Content prospectively. If you do not opt out during the
Initial Opt out Period and we do provide your Public User Uploaded Content to a
third party, we cannot guarantee we can recall it, but it will not be further
sold, leased, traded, or otherwise profited from after the date we receive and
process your opt out request.

You waive any moral rights (and any similar rights) with respect to your User
Uploaded Content to the extent permitted by law, and if no waiver is permitted,
you agree not to enforce the right against Photobucket or our distributors or
clients.

and in accordance with the functionality and restrictions of, the Services.

notice by sending you an email or push notification. If you do not wish to pay
the new prices, you may choose not to purchase, or to cancel, the applicable
Paid Service prior to the change going into effect, subject to the terms of any
written agreement between you and Photobucket.

8. MODIFICATIONS TO TERMS OF USE

Photobucket reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to modify these Terms of
Use at any time by posting a revised Terms of Use through the Services with an
updated date (“Effective Date”) and we will also provide a separate notice
(which may take the form of an e-mail, banner, in-app notification, or other
notification method). You are responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar
with any modifications to these Terms of Use. Unless otherwise stated in the
modified Terms of Use, modifications are effective when posted on the applicable
Services or this location, in the amended policies, or supplemental terms on the
applicable Service(s) (e.g., at the time of uploading photos). Your use of the
Services following any such posted modification and notice of same constitutes
your acceptance of the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use as modified.

If Photobucket changes these Terms of Use after the date you first agreed to the
Terms of Use (or to any subsequent changes to these Terms of Use), you may
inform Photobucket of your refusal to agree to any such change by providing
Photobucket written notice of such refusal within forty-fiive (45) days of the
date such change became effective, as indicated in the Effective Date above.
This written notice must be provided by you either (a) mail or hand delivery to
our registered agent for service of process, c/o Photobucket.com, Inc., 621
Kalamath Street, Suite 135, Denver, CO 80204 USA, or (b) by e-mail to:
support@photobucket.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include your
full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to these Terms of
Use. By rejecting changes, you are agreeing that Photobucket should proceed with
terminating your Account and your User Uploaded Content. As such, you should
download any Content from the Services that you wish to save prior to notifying
us of your refusal. Photobucket’s collection and use of Personal Information in
connection with the Services is described in our Privacy Policy.

You release, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Photobucket, its
affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, shareholders,

time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially
affected his or her settlement with the debtor.”

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, PHOTOBUCKET, ITS AFFILIATES,
AND ITS AND THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES,

AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND/OR DISTRIBUTORS, FOR ANY CLAIM UNDER THIS TOU AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING FOR ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES, IS LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO

providing written notice to the other party. Photobucket may also terminate or
suspend your access to or ability to use any and all Services immediately,
without prior notice or liability, for any reason or no reason, including but
not limited to if you breach any of the terms or conditions of the Agreements.
All provisions of these Terms of Use which by their nature should survive
termination shall survive termination, including, without limitation, ownership
provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitations of liability. Termination of
your access to and use of the Services shall not relieve you of any obligations
arising or accruing prior to such termination or limit any liability which you
otherwise may have to Photobucket or any third party. Furthermore, your
termination of these Terms of Use does not relieve you of any obligation under
other terms of the Agreements. Photobucket is not responsible or liable for your
inability to use the Services or any feature or part of the Services as a result
of your choice not to agree to these Terms of Use.

13. MISCELLANEOUS



 * 13.1 Modifications and Entire TOU Agreement. This TOU Agreement, as modified
   from time to time, constitutes the entire agreement between you and
   Photobucket with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any rights not
   expressly granted herein are reserved by Photobucket. This TOU Agreement
   supersedes all prior or contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written
   or oral, regarding the subject matter hereof and constitutes the entire and
   exclusive agreement between the parties.
 * 13.2 Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right
   provided for herein shall not be deemed a waiver of any further rights
   hereunder.
 * 13.3 Severability. If any provision of this TOU Agreement is found to be
   unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to
   the minimum extent necessary so that this TOU Agreement shall otherwise
   remain in full force and effect and enforceable.
 * 13.4 Assignment Rights. This TOU Agreement is not assignable, transferable,
   or sublicensable by you except with Photobucket’s prior written consent.
   Photobucket may assign this TOU Agreement, and any rights and licenses
   granted hereunder, in whole or in part at any time without your agreement and
   without restriction. For example, Photobucket may assign these Terms of Use
   without your consent to: (i) a subsidiary or affiliate; (ii) an acquirer of
   Photobucket’s equity, business or assets; or (iii) a successor by merger.
 * 13.5 Relationship of Parties. No agency, partnership, joint venture, or
   employment is created as a result of this TOU Agreement, and you do not have
   any authority of any kind to bind Photobucket in any respect whatsoever. We
   are not responsible for the conduct of others. We are not responsible for
   advertisements or applications or services that are posted on or through the
   Services, nor do we have any responsibility for the goods or services
   provided by our advertisers or via other websites or applications, including
   our print vendor.
 * 13.6 Misuse Reporting. As a Subscriber of Photobucket, if you become aware of
   misuse of the Services by any person, please email abuse@photobucket.com and
   include a URL at which the material in question may be located. If such
   misuse includes suspected infringement of copyright or other intellectual
   property, please follow the Photobucket Copyright and IP Policy.
 * 13.7 Export and Trade Controls. Photobucket provides global services.
   Photobucket’s operations are, however, located in the United States, and
   Photobucket’s policies and procedures are based on United States law. You
   agree not to import, export, re-export, or transfer, directly or indirectly,
   any part of the Services, Content, or information provided on or pursuant to
   the Services except in full compliance with all United States, foreign and
   other applicable laws and regulations. The following provisions apply
   specifically to Authorized Users located outside of the United States: (1)
   you consent to the transfer, storage, and processing of your information,
   including but not limited to User Uploaded Content and any Personal
   Information, to and in the United States and/or other countries; and (2) you
   represent and warrant that (a) you are not located in a country that is
   subject to a U.S. government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S.
   government as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (b) you are not listed on
   any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
 * 13.8 Choice of Law and Jurisdiction. These Terms of Use, and the agreement
   they create, shall be governed by and interpreted according to the laws of
   the State of Colorado, without giving effect to any conflict of law
   principles, except as may be otherwise provided in Section 14 (Arbitration
   Agreement). However, the choice of law provision regarding the interpretation
   of these Terms of Use is not intended to create any other substantive right
   to non-Colorado residents to assert claims under Colorado law whether that be
   by statute, common law, or otherwise. These provisions, and except as
   otherwise provided, are only intended to specify the use of Colorado law to
   interpret these Terms of Use and the forum for disputes asserting a breach of
   these Terms of Use, and these provisions shall not be interpreted as
   generally extending Colorado law to you if you do not otherwise reside in
   Colorado. You agree that any and all disputes, claims, and causes of action
   arising out of or connected with these Terms of Use shall be brought in the
   state and district courts of the State of Colorado and you hereby consent to
   the personal jurisdiction and venue of the courts in Denver, Colorado, and
   expressly waive any objection to such jurisdiction and venue. The foregoing
   choice of law and forum selection provisions do not apply to the arbitration
   clause in Section 14 (Arbitration Agreement) or to any arbitrable disputes as
   defined therein. Instead, as described in Section 14 (Arbitration Agreement),
   the Federal Arbitration Act shall apply to any such disputes.
 * 13.9 Data Usage and Charges. You acknowledge that you may incur data charges
   from your mobile carrier or internet service provider for accessing and using
   our Services. You are solely responsible for any such charges.



14. ARBITRATION AGREEMENT

By agreeing to the Terms of Use, you agree that you are required to resolve any
claim that you may have against Photobucket on an individual basis in
arbitration, as set forth in this Arbitration Agreement. This will preclude you
from bringing any class, collective, or representative action against
Photobucket, and also preclude you from participating in or recovering relief
under any current or future class, collective, consolidated, or representative
action brought against Photobucket by someone else.



 * 14.1 Agreement to Binding Arbitration Between You and Photobucket. You and
   Photobucket agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or
   relating to (a) these Terms of Use or the existence, breach, termination,
   enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or (b) your access to or use
   of the Services at any time, whether before or after the date you agreed to
   the Terms of Use, will be settled by binding arbitration between you and
   Photobucket, and not in a court of law. You acknowledge and agree that you
   and Photobucket are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to
   participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or
   representative proceeding. Unless both you and Photobucket otherwise agree in
   writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and
   not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
   However, you and Photobucket each retain the right to bring an individual
   action in small claims court and the right to seek injunctive or other
   equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual
   or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s
   copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property
   rights.
 * 14.2 Rules and Governing Law. The arbitration will be administered by the
   American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with the AAA’s
   Consumer Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer
   Related Disputes (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this
   Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org or by
   calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. You and Photobucket (the “parties”) agree
   that the arbitrator (“Arbitrator”), and not any federal, state, or local
   court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any disputes
   relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of
   this Arbitration Agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this
   Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable. The Arbitrator shall also be
   responsible for determining all threshold arbitrability issues, including
   issues relating to whether the Terms of Use are unconscionable or illusory
   and any defense to arbitration, including waiver, delay, laches, or estoppel.
   Notwithstanding any choice of law or other provision in the Terms of Use, the
   parties agree and acknowledge that this Arbitration Agreement evidences a
   transaction involving interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration
   Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. (“FAA”), will govern its interpretation and
   enforcement and proceedings pursuant thereto. It is the intent of the parties
   that the FAA and AAA Rules shall preempt all state laws to the fullest extent
   permitted by law. If the FAA and AAA Rules are found to not apply to any
   issue that arises under this Arbitration Agreement or the enforcement
   thereof, then that issue shall be resolved under the laws of the state of
   Colorado.
 * 14.3 Process. A party who desires to initiate arbitration must provide the
   other party with a written Demand for Arbitration as specified in the AAA
   Rules. (The AAA provides a form Demand for Arbitration – Consumer Arbitration
   Rules at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879). The Arbitrator
   will be either (1) a retired judge or (2) an attorney specifically licensed
   to practice law in the state of Colorado and will be selected by the parties
   from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators. If the parties are
   unable to agree upon an Arbitrator within seven (7) days of delivery of the
   Demand for Arbitration, then the AAA will appoint the Arbitrator in
   accordance with the AAA Rules..
 * 14.4 Location and Procedure. Unless you and Photobucket otherwise agree, the
   arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside. If your claim
   does not exceed $10,000, then the arbitration will be conducted solely on the
   basis of documents you and Photobucket submit to the Arbitrator, unless you
   request a hearing, or the Arbitrator determines that a hearing is necessary.
   If your claim exceeds $10,000, your right to a hearing will be determined by
   the AAA Rules. Subject to the AAA Rules, the Arbitrator will have the
   discretion to direct a reasonable exchange of information by the parties,
   consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.
 * 14.5 Arbitrator’s Decision. The Arbitrator will render an award within the
   time frame specified in the AAA Rules. Judgment on the arbitration award may
   be entered in any court having competent jurisdiction to do so. The
   Arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the
   claimant and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the
   claimant’s individual claim. An Arbitrator’s decision shall be final and
   binding on all parties. An Arbitrator’s decision and judgment thereon shall
   have no precedential or collateral estoppel effect. If you prevail in
   arbitration, you will be entitled to an award of attorneys’ fees and
   expenses, to the extent provided under applicable law. Photobucket will not
   seek, and hereby waives all rights Photobucket may have under applicable law
   to recover attorneys’ fees and expenses if Photobucket prevails in
   arbitration.
 * 14.6 Arbitrator Fees. Your responsibility to pay any AAA filing,
   administrative and arbitrator fees will be solely as set forth in the AAA
   Rules.
 * 14.7 Changes. Notwithstanding the provisions in Section 1 (Introduction) and
   Section 2 (Accepting These Terms of Use) above, regarding consent to be bound
   by amendments to these Terms of Use, if Photobucket changes this Arbitration
   Agreement after the date you first agreed to the Terms (or to any subsequent
   changes to the Terms), you may reject any such change to this Arbitration
   Agreement by providing Photobucket written notice of such rejection within
   sixty (60) days of the date such change became effective, as indicated in the
   Effective Date above. This written notice must be provided either (a) by mail
   or hand delivery to our registered agent for service of process, c/o
   Photobucket.com, Inc., 621 Kalamath Street, Suite 135, Denver, CO 80204 USA,
   or (b) by email from the email address associated with your Account to:
   support@photobucket.com. In order to be effective, the notice must include
   your full name and clearly indicate your intent to reject changes to this
   Arbitration Agreement.
 * 14.8 Severability and Survival. If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement
   is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the
   unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms of Use;
   (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact
   whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’
   ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis
   pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims
   must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or
   representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of
   competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that
   litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any
   individual claims in arbitration.
 * 14.9 Opt-out for Authorized Users Who Signed Up Before July 22, 2024.



Authorized Users who signed up for an Account before July 22, 2024 will have the
option to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement within forty-five (45) days from
July 22, 2024. To opt-out of the Arbitration Agreement provisions of the Terms
of Use email us at policies@photobucket.com.
