OZY HOUSE RULES

Terms of Service (“Terms”)
Ozy Media: Last Modified: 9/15/2014

1. 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. Create An Ozy Account and Keep it Secure

To use some aspects of the Services, you may be asked to create a user account
(“Ozy Account”), including a valid email address and password of your choice
that you will use to access the Services either through a web browser or mobile
application. 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.

content including comments, forum messages, reviews, text, video, audio, and
photographs, as well as computer code and applications) (each, a “Submission”)

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.

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

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

advice, statement, memorandum, or information will be at your own risk. THE
SERVICES AND ALL DOWNLOADABLE SOFTWARE ARE DISTRIBUTED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS
WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, WARRANTIES OF TITLE OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 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. In no event, however, will you be charged for access to
the Services unless we obtain your prior agreement to pay such charges. 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. You will pay all fees and charges

shared with third parties, except in aggregate form.

11. TERMINATION

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

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

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

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

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

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.
