11. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration Clause and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS—INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT (BY REQUIRING YOUR DISPUTE TO BE SUBMITTED TO ARBITRATION) AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHTS TO RESOLVE YOUR DISPUTE AS PART OF A CLASS.

You and Company agree that, except for either party’s claims of infringement or misappropriation of any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right (which shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts located in the City and County of Los Angeles, California), any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to the Services, any Company Content, or these Terms and/or the Privacy Policy shall be settled exclusively by binding arbitration in California, or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by the parties or in a location determined by the arbitrator as set forth herein, in accordance with the applicable procedural rules set forth in the then prevailing Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (“JAMS Rules and Procedures”), unless any such rules are inapplicable to the dispute by their terms or otherwise inconsistent with these Terms. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The JAMS Rules and Procedures are available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling (800) 352-5267. The arbitrator shall be selected pursuant to the JAMS Rules and Procedures. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the enforceability, interpretation and effect of terms set forth in this provision. Otherwise, the arbitrator shall apply California law or applicable federal law consistent with applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Payment of the parties’ costs and fees owed to JAMS and the arbitrator will be determined by the JAMS Rules and Procedures and fee schedule, and in such case will be subject to any limitations on the costs and fees owed by you as provided in the JAMS Rules and Procedures. If any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal (other than that claims will not be arbitrated on a class or representative basis), or otherwise conflicts with the rules and procedures established by JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, the portion that is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal is that claims will not be arbitrated on a class, representative, or collective basis, or as a private attorney general on behalf of other persons similarly situated, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Company shall be entitled to arbitrate the dispute. THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES PURSUANT TO THIS PARAGRAPH SHALL BE IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. YOU MAY NOT BRING ANY CLAIM AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ON BEHALF OF OTHER SIMILARLY SITUATED PERSONS.

BY AGREEING TO THE ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES AS SET FORTH HEREIN, YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND LIMITING YOUR RIGHT TO APPEAL, AND WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ARBITRATION. DO NOT USE THIS PLATFORM IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOREGOING BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISIONS.

14. Terms Applicable to Individual Subscriptions to Luminate Film & TV (Discovery and Expand).

The terms of this Section (these “Subscription Terms”) apply to individual subscribers of the Luminate Film & TV service (the “Subscription Service”). By signing up to the Subscription Service, you agree to be bound by these Subscription Terms, in addition to the other terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use.

(a) Service Tiers. When signing up for the Subscription Service, you may be presented with different subscription plans or options (each, a “Service Tier”). The Service Tiers may be subject to differences in pricing, usage rules, eligibility, features, offerings and availability, and may be modified at any time by Company.

(b) Subscription Period; Automatic Renewal. Your subscription to the Subscription Service (your “Subscription”) shall commence upon your successful signup to the Subscription Service and will continue and automatically renew for the applicable billing period of your Subscription (e.g., monthly or annually) based on the Service Tier you have selected, until you cancel your Subscription before the end of the then-current billing period pursuant to the terms of the section below entitled “Cancellation”. This means that, at the end of each applicable billing period of your Subscription (e.g., at the end of each monthly period for monthly subscriptions, or at the end of each annual period for annual subscriptions), your Subscription will automatically renew for the same duration unless you cancel it before the applicable renewal date. You acknowledge and agree that we may automatically charge your Payment Method (as defined below) for your applicable Subscription fee and any applicable taxes, unless you cancel your subscription before the applicable renewal date. BY SIGNING UP FOR THE SUBSCRIPTION SERVICE, YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE AUTOMATIC RENEWAL TERMS SET FORTH IN THESE SUBSCRIPTION TERMS.

(c) Free Trial. Your Subscription may begin with a free trial (the “Free Trial”) for new subscribers for a period of time specified when you register. Availability of a Free Trial is not guaranteed and, if one is available, is only available on the specified terms of the Free Trial based on the applicable Service Tier selected. You must provide a Payment Method (as defined below) at signup to ensure uninterrupted access to your Subscription at the end of the Free Trial when your subscription automatically converts to a paid Subscription. We will charge your Payment Method the subscription fee applicable to your Subscription at the end of the Free Trial and on a recurring basis until cancelled as described herein. If Your Subscription is ever cancelled or terminated for any reason, and you purchase a subsequent Subscription, you shall not be eligible for a Free Trial on such subsequent Subscription.

(d) Billing. By providing a credit card or using another payment method accepted by Company (“Payment Method”) for your Subscription, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a subscription fee, any other fees for additional services you may purchase, and any applicable taxes in connection with your use of the Subscription Service to the Payment Method. If you want to use a different Payment Method than the one you signed up to use during registration, or if there is a change in your credit card validity or expiration date, you may edit your Payment Method information by logging in to https://filmandtv.luminatedata.com/update_profile.php and accessing the “My Account” page, or you may call +1 323 617-9555 to speak with customer service. The terms of your payment will be based on your Payment Method and may be determined by agreements between you and the financial institution, credit card issuer, or other provider of your chosen Payment Method. When you provide a credit card to access the Subscription Service, including in connection with a Free Trial, our system will attempt to verify the information you entered. We do this by processing an authorization hold, which is a standard practice. We do not charge you in connection with this authorization hold. In some instances, your credit limit or balance may reflect the authorization hold during your Free Trial. If your credit card expires and you do not edit your Payment Method information or cancel your Subscription, you authorize us to continue billing, and you will remain responsible for any uncollected amounts. You are responsible for all third-party Internet access charges and taxes in connection with your use of the Services. Please check with your Internet provider for information on possible Internet data usage charges.

(e) Pricing. We reserve the right to change the pricing of your Subscription, effective as of the renewal of your billing period. In the event of a price change, we will attempt to notify you in advance of the change by sending an email to the email address you have registered for your account. If you do not wish to accept a price change, you may cancel your Subscription in accordance with the instructions included in that email and below. If you do not timely cancel your Subscription, your subscription will be renewed at the price in effect at the time of the renewal, without any additional action by you, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for these amounts. We will not be able to notify you of any changes in applicable taxes.

(f) Cancellation.
