GENERAL 1.1 If you choose to use the Ozy.com/Ozymandias.com website (the “Site”), Ozy’s mobile sites and applications, other downloads, and current or future features such as an RSS feed or an API (collectively, the “Services”), you will be agreeing to abide by these Terms between you and Ozy Media, Inc. (“Ozy”, “us” or “we”). You may use the Services only if you have the power to form a legal contract with Ozy. If you are using the Services on behalf of an organization, you are agreeing to these Terms for that organization and promising that you have the authority to bind that organization to these Terms. 1.2 We may revise these Terms occasionally and the most current version will always be posted on the Site. If a revision, in our sole discretion, is material we will notify you using the email address you have associated with your Ozy account. By continuing to access or use the Services after revisions become effective, you agree to be bound by the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the new terms, please stop using the Services. 1.3 Ozy will strive to provide you with a consistent, efficient, and pleasant user experience. From time to time, however, we may need to alter, add, or remove certain features or functionality of the Services without notice. We may change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Services at any time, including the availability of any Services feature, database, or content. We may also impose limits on certain features and services or restrict your access to parts or all of the Services without notice or liability. 1.4ALL CAPS. Some provisions in these terms are required to be particularly clear and conspicuous. To make sure we are in compliance with our legal obligations to you, we need to present certain provisions in ALL CAPS. 2. Eligibility The Services are not available to persons under the age of 13. This is important enough for us to capitalize it. BY REMAINING ON THE WEBSITE, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 13 YEARS OF AGE. Ozy Accounts are not available to persons under the age of 18 or under the applicable state age of majority. BY REGISTERING AN ACCOUNT, YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OF AGE OR THE APPLICABLE STATE AGE OF MAJORITY. Minors may use the Services only if a parent or legal guardian grants the minor permission and assumes the responsibilities of these Terms. 3.

Each Ozy Account is for one user only. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Ozy Account and password and for restricting access to your device, and you agree to accept responsibility for all activities that occur in your Ozy Account. You agree that the information you provide when creating your Ozy Account will be true, accurate, current, and complete, including your email address. You also agree that you will keep this information accurate and up-to-date at all times. If you have reason to believe that your Ozy Account is no longer secure (e.g., in the event of a loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of your account ID, password, or any credit or debit card number), then you agree to immediately notify Ozy. The information you provide will be subject to Ozy’s Privacy Policy. Please notify support@ozy.com of any known or suspected unauthorized use(s) of your Ozy Account, or any known or suspected breach of security, including loss, theft, or unauthorized disclosure of your password or other information. 4. CONTENT 4.1 The Services are owned and operated by Ozy. The visual interfaces, graphics, design, compilation, information, computer code (including source code and object code), news articles, photographs, images, illustrations, infographics, audio clips and video clips services, and all other elements of the Services (collectively, the “Content”), excluding third-party content and user-generated content, are owned by Ozy and protected by United States intellectual property laws, including copyright, trade dress, and/or trademark laws, international conventions, and all other applicable laws.

If we terminate your Ozy Account, you agree to immediately stop accessing or using the Services, and you agree not to circumvent, avoid, or bypass such restrictions, or otherwise restore or attempt to restore such access or use. Ozy reserves the right to exercise whatever lawful means it deems necessary to prevent unauthorized use of the Services, including technological barriers, IP mapping, and directly contacting your Internet Service Provider (ISP) regarding such unauthorized use. 7. Digital Millennium Copyright Act Some areas of the Website are public. Any content posted on the Site must respect the intellectual property rights of others. You must not post or otherwise add (“Post”) infringing content to the Site or through the Services. If you Post content that contains any intellectual property, including audio/visual works, literary works, musical works, sound recordings, and or other intellectual property, you must be the owner of such intellectual property or have all required rights, licenses, consents, and permissions to use such intellectual property on or in connection with the Services. In addition to being grounds for removal of your Posting, termination of your Account, and any other remedy Ozy may have against you, your failure to own or obtain such rights may subject you to civil and/or criminal liability. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe any content submitted to and hosted on the Site infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing Ozy’s Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the Website; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Ozy to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit Ozy to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (v) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (for example, “I am under the good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted content that is identified herein is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”); and (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed (for example, “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is/are allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.”). Please consult your legal counsel (or see 17 U.S.C. § 512) to confirm these requirements and your compliance therewith. It is Ozy’s policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA. In addition, Ozy will promptly terminate without notice the Accounts of users that are determined by Ozy to be “repeat infringers.” If Ozy receives more than three takedown notices regarding a user’s Postings, then that user will be considered a repeat infringer and that user’s Account will be terminated. Ozy’s Designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications and counter-notifications of claimed infringement can be reached as follows: Attention: Copyright Agent, Ozy Media 800 W. El Camino Real Suite 260, Mountain View, CA 94040 or by email at copyright@ozymandias.com. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Designated Copyright Agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support or other communications should be directed to Ozy support through support@ozy.com. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. DMCA Counter-Notifications If you believe that your Posting that was removed is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to law, to submit the Posting to the Site, then you may send a counter notification containing the following information to Ozy’s Designated Copyright Agent at the address listed above: (i) Your physical or electronic signature (ii) Identification of the Posting that was removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; (iii) A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that your Posting was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the Posting to be removed or disabled; and (iv) Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in San Francisco County, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. If a counter notice is received by the Designated Copyright Agent, then Ozy may send a copy of the counter notice to the original complaining party informing that person or entity that Ozy may restore the removed Posting or cease disabling access to it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the person submitting the Posting, the removed Posting may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten to fourteen business days or more after receipt of the counter notice, at Ozy’s sole discretion. 8. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES 8.1 You represent and warrant that no materials of any kind submitted through your account will (i) infringe upon the rights of any third party, including copyright, trademark, privacy or other personal or proprietary rights. You hereby indemnify, defend and hold harmless Ozy and all officers, directors, owners, agents, information providers, affiliates, licensors, and licensees (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”) from and against any and all liability and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred by the Indemnified Parties in connection with any claim arising out of any breach by you, or any user of your account, of these Terms or the foregoing representations and warranties. You will cooperate as reasonably required in the defense of any such claim. Ozy reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter subject to indemnification by you. 8.2 Ozy does not represent or endorse the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, statement, or other information displayed, uploaded, or distributed through the Services by any user, information provider, or any other person or entity. You acknowledge that any reliance upon any such opinion, advice, statement, memorandum, or information will be at your own risk.

YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. 9. FEES AND PAYMENTS Ozy reserves the right at any time to charge fees for access to any or all portion of the Services.

Thus, if at any time we require a fee for portions of the Services that are now free, we will give you advance notice of such fees. You may cancel your Ozy Account at any time. All new fees, if any, will be posted prominently on the Site and in other appropriate locations on the Services.

COMMUNICATION WITH OZY 10.1 By providing your personal information to us when you set up your Ozy Account, you grant Ozy, its assigns, and certain third-party vendors permission to contact you at the email address associated with your account to provide you with information about products and services. To stop receiving our marketing emails, you may follow the opt-out procedures in our marketing emails. 10.2 Ozy reserves the right to send electronic mail to you for the purpose of informing you of changes or additions to the Services. 10.3 Ozy reserves the right to disclose information about your usage and demographics, provided that it will not reveal your personal identity in connection with the disclosure of such information.

TERMINATION You can stop using the Services at any time. Ozy reserves the right to suspend or end the Services at any time, with or without cause, and with or without notice. For example, we may suspend or terminate your use if you are not complying with these Terms, or use the Services in any way that would cause us legal liability or disrupt others’ use of the Services. You may terminate your Ozy Account at any time through your account settings or by e-mailing us at support@ozy.com. Upon termination, we may send you an automated confirmation via e-mail that the cancellation was processed, and we will suspend your access to features of the Services that require an Ozy Account Ozy may, in its sole discretion, terminate or suspend your access to all or part of the Services for any reason, including, without limitation, breach or assignment of these Terms. 12. REMEDIES Your only remedy with respect to any dissatisfaction with (i) the Services, (ii) any provision in these Terms, or (iii) any policy or practice of Ozy in operating the Services is to discontinue use of the Services and terminate your Ozy Account. 13.THE SERVICES ARE AVAILABLE “AS-IS” OZY, AND ITS AFFILIATES, PARTNERS, AND SUPPLIERS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF PROPRIETARY RIGHTS. NO ADVICE OR INFORMATION, WHETHER ORAL OR WRITTEN, OBTAINED BY YOU FROM OZY OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL CREATE ANY WARRANTY NOT EXPRESSLY STATED HEREIN. YOU EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT THE USE OF THE SERVICES IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. THE SERVICES, AND ANY INFORMATION, THIRD-PARTY SOFTWARE, CONTENT, SERVICES, OR APPLICATIONS MADE AVAILABLE IN CONJUNCTION WITH OR THROUGH THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS” BASIS AND WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. OZY, ITS SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND PARTNERS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SERVICES WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED, OR FREE OF ERRORS, VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS AND DO NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THE FOREGOING WILL BE CORRECTED. OZY, ITS SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS, AFFILIATES, AND PARTNERS DO NOT WARRANT OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SERVICES OR ANY THIRD-PARTY WEBSITES IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU USE, ACCESS, DOWNLOAD, OR OTHERWISE OBTAIN INFORMATION, MATERIALS, OR DATA THROUGH THE SERVICES AT YOUR OWN RISK AND THAT YOU WILL BE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR PROPERTY (INCLUDING YOUR COMPUTER SYSTEM OR DEVICE) OR LOSS OF DATA THAT RESULTS FROM THE DOWNLOAD OR USE OF SUCH SERVICES, MATERIAL OR DATA. 14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL OZY, ITS AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR (A) ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL (INCLUDING LOSS OF USE, DATA, BUSINESS, OR PROFITS) DAMAGES, REGARDLESS OF LEGAL THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT OZY HAS BEEN WARNED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE; (B) AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS RELATING TO THE SERVICES MORE THAN THE GREATER OF $50 OR THE AMOUNTS PAID BY YOU TO OZY FOR THE PAST THREE MONTHS OF THE SERVICES. CERTAIN JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CERTAIN DAMAGES. IF YOU RESIDE IS SUCH A JURISDICTION, SOME OR ALL OF THE DISCLAIMERS, EXCLUSIONS, OR LIMITATIONS IN THESE TERMS OF SWERVICE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, AND YOU MAY HAVE ADDITIONAL RIGHTS. THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS OF WARRANTIES, REMEDIES OR LIABILITY CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS APPLY TO YOU TO THE FULLEST EXTENT SUCH LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSIONS ARE PERMITTED UNDER THE LAWS OF THE JURISDICTION APPLICABLE TO YOU. YOU AND OZY AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED. 15. INDEMNIFICATION You agree to indemnify and hold Ozy, its affiliated companies, contractors, employees, agents and its third-party suppliers, licensors, and partners harmless from any claims, losses, damages, liabilities, including legal fees and expenses, arising out of your use or misuse of the Services, any violation by you of these Terms, or any breach of the representations, warranties, and covenants made by you herein. Ozy reserves the right, at your expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter for which you are required to indemnify Ozy, and you agree to cooperate with Ozy’s defense of these claims. Ozy will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify you of any such claim, action, or proceeding upon becoming aware of it. 16. ARBITRATION In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Ozy in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and Ozy agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement with you to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms, you and Ozy are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action. Notwithstanding the paragraph immediately above, you and Ozy agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims not otherwise precluded by these Terms. Any arbitration between you and Ozy will be governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), subject to any modification by these Terms, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Ozy at arbitration@ozymandias.com. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified mail or nationally recognized overnight courier (signature required), or, in the event that we do not have a current physical address on file for you, by email (“Notice”). Ozy’s address for Notice is: Ozy Media 800 W. El Camino Real Suite 260, Mountain View, CA 94040; claims@ozymandias.com. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. We agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Ozy may commence an arbitration proceeding. Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Francisco County, California, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance-based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits. YOU AND OZY AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Ozy agree otherwise, you will not request the arbitrator or court to consolidate more than one person’s claims, or to otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. 17. MISCELLANEOUS These Terms will be governed by California law except for its conflicts of law principles. All claims arising out of or relating to these Terms, if not subject to arbitration as provided herein, must be litigated exclusively in the federal or state courts of San Francisco County, California, and both you and Ozy consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. You agree that the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (or any statutory implementation of it) and the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods will not apply with respect to these Terms or your relationship with Ozy. These Terms constitute the entire and exclusive agreement between you and Ozy with respect to the Services, and supersede and replace any other agreements, terms and conditions applicable to the Services. Upon termination of these Terms, any provision which, by its nature or express terms should survive, will survive such termination or expiration. These Terms create no third party beneficiary rights. Ozy’s failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver of its right to do so later. If a provision is found unenforceable the remaining provisions of the Agreement will remain in full effect and an enforceable term will be substituted reflecting our intent as closely as possible. You may not assign any of your rights in these Terms, and any such attempt is void, but Ozy may assign its rights to any of its affiliates or subsidiaries, or to any successor in interest of any business associated with the Services. Ozy and you are not legal partners or agents; instead, our relationship is that of independent contractors. The heading references herein are for convenience purposes only, do not constitute a part of these Terms, and will not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
