|
|
| Disney DTC LLC and/or its affiliates and subsidiaries (collectively, “Disney DTC”) are pleased |
| to provide to you their sites, software, applications, content, products and services (“Disney |
| Services”), which may be branded Disney, ABC, ESPN, Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, FX or another |
| brand owned or licensed by Disney DTC. These terms govern your use and our provision of the |
| Disney Services on which these terms are posted, as well as Disney Services we make available |
| on third-party sites and platforms if these terms are disclosed to you in connection with your use |
| of the Disney Services. PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY BEFORE USING |
| THE DISNEY SERVICES. BY USING THE DISNEY SERVICES YOU AGREE TO BE |
| BOUND BY THESE TERMS. |
|
|
| ANY DISPUTE BETWEEN YOU AND US, EXCEPT FOR SMALL CLAIMS, IS SUBJECT |
| TO A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND MUST BE RESOLVED BY INDIVIDUAL BINDING |
| ARBITRATION. PLEASE READ THIS AGREEMENT IN ITS ENTIRETY, INCLUDING |
| THE ARBITRATION PROVISION BELOW. |
|
|
| NOTHING IN THESE TERMS IS INTENDED TO AFFECT YOUR RIGHTS UNDER THE |
| LAW IN YOUR USUAL PLACE OF RESIDENCE THAT CAN NOT BE ALTERED BY |
| THESE TERMS. IF THERE IS A CONFLICT BETWEEN THOSE RIGHTS AND THESE |
| TERMS, YOUR RIGHTS UNDER APPLICABLE LOCAL LAW WILL PREVAIL. |
|
|
| 1. Contract between You and Us |
|
|
| This is a contract (1) between you and Disney DTC LLC, as a Delaware limited liability |
| company doing business at 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521, USA, or |
| (2) between you and any different service provider identified for a particular Disney Service. |
|
|
| You must read and agree to these terms (the “Agreement”) before using the Disney Services. If |
| you do not agree, you may not use the Disney Services. These terms describe the limited basis |
| on which the Disney Services are made available to you and supersede prior agreements or |
| arrangements. |
|
|
| Supplemental terms and conditions may apply to some Disney Services, such as rules for a |
| particular competition, content, software, application, service or other activity, or terms that may |
| accompany certain territories, content, products or software accessible through the Disney |
| Services. If applicable, such supplemental terms and conditions will be disclosed to you in |
| connection with such competition, content, product, software, application, service or |
| activity. Any supplemental terms and conditions are in addition to these terms and, in the event |
|
|
| of a conflict, the supplemental terms will prevail over these terms. If you do not agree to the |
| supplemental terms and conditions disclosed, you must not use the applicable Disney Service. |
|
|
| We may change these terms at any time. Any such amendment will be effective thirty (30) days |
| following either our dispatch of a notice to you or our posting of the amended terms. You are |
| responsible for periodically reviewing the terms for updates and amendments. By continuing to |
| use the Disney Services you will be deemed to have agreed to and accepted any amendments. If |
| you do not agree to any change to these terms, you must discontinue using the Disney |
| Services. Our customer service representatives are not authorized to modify any provision of |
| these terms, either verbally or in writing. |
|
|
| We may immediately terminate this contract with respect to you (including your access to the |
| Disney Services) if you fail to comply with any provision of these terms. |
|
|
| 2. The Disney Services |
|
|
| The Disney Services are for your personal, noncommercial use and are intended for |
| informational and entertainment purposes only. They do not constitute legal, financial, |
| professional, medical or healthcare advice or diagnosis and cannot be used for such |
| purposes. To support smooth operation of the Disney Services across wide geographic areas, |
| aspects of certain activities, such as game play, may be simulated to avoid delays. |
|
|
| The Disney Services are our copyrighted property or the copyrighted property of our licensors or |
| licensees and all trademarks, service marks, trade names, trade dress and other intellectual |
| property rights in the Disney Services are owned by us or our licensors or licensees. Except as |
| we specifically agree in writing, no element of the Disney Services may be used or exploited in |
| any way other than as part of the Disney Services offered to you. You may own the physical |
| media on which elements of the Disney Services are delivered to you, but we retain full and |
| complete ownership of the Disney Services. We do not transfer title to any portion of the Disney |
| Services to you. |
|
|
| Content and Software License |
|
|
| If a Disney Service is configured to enable the use of software, content, virtual items or other |
| materials owned or licensed by us, we grant you a limited, non-exclusive, non-sublicensable, |
| non-transferable license to access and use such software, content, virtual item or other material |
| for your personal, noncommercial use only, only for as long as each Disney Service is made |
| available by us, with no right to reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, make available |
| to the public, or transform any Disney Service in any media format or channel now known or |
| hereafter devised (except as may be expressly described or contemplated within the Disney |
| Service). |
|
|
| You may not: circumvent or disable any content protection system or digital rights management |
| technology used with any Disney Service; decompile, reverse engineer, disassemble or otherwise |
| reduce any Disney Service to a human-readable form; remove identification, copyright or other |
| proprietary notices; or access or use any Disney Service in an unlawful or unauthorized manner |
|
|
| or in a manner that suggests an association with our products, services or brands. You may not |
| access or use any Disney Service in violation of United States export control and economic |
| sanctions requirements. By acquiring services, content or software through the Disney Services, |
| you represent and warrant that your access to and use of the services, content or software will |
| comply with those requirements. |
|
|
| Disclaimers and Limitation on Liability |
|
|
| THE DISNEY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE.” WE |
| DISCLAIM ALL CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES NOT |
| EXPRESSLY SET OUT IN THESE TERMS TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY |
| APPLICABLE LAW. |
|
|
| FOR HELP, PLEASE REFER TO THE HELP SECTION OF THE APPLICABLE DISNEY |
| SERVICE FOR ASSISTANCE IF DIGITAL CONTENT SUPPLIED VIA A DISNEY |
| SERVICE IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. We will not be liable for damage which could |
| have been avoided by following our advice to apply an update offered to you free of charge or |
| for damage which was caused by you failing to correctly follow installation instructions or to |
| have in place the minimum system requirements advised by us. |
|
|
| We shall not be liable for delay or failure in performance for causes beyond our control or any |
| other damage which does not result from a breach of our obligation. |
|
|
| We are not liable for business losses. We only supply the products for domestic and private use. |
| If you use the products for any commercial, business or re-sale purpose we will have no liability |
| to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business |
| opportunity. |
|
|
| WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY LACK OF FUNCTIONALITY OR FAILURE TO |
| PROVIDE ANY PART OF THE DISNEY SERVICE, OR ANY LOSS OF CONTENT OR |
| DATA THAT IS DUE TO: YOUR EQUIPMENT, DEVICES, OPERATING SYSTEM OR |
| INTERNET CONNECTION, YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH SPECIFIED |
| COMPATIBILITY REQUIREMENTS OR THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOU CHANGING |
| YOUR EQUIPMENT, DEVICE, OPERATING SYSTEM OR INTERNET CONNECTION. |
|
|
| WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR |
| CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND PROPERTY |
| DAMAGE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, |
| NOR SHALL WE BE HELD LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE |
| RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL. |
|
|
| IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL DAMAGES, LOSSES |
| AND CAUSES OF ACTION EXCEED ONE THOUSAND U.S. DOLLARS (US $1,000). |
|
|
| Changes to the Disney Services |
|
|
| The Disney Services are constantly evolving and will change over time. If we make a material |
| change to the Disney Services, we will provide you with reasonable notice as described above |
| and you will be entitled to terminate this contract prospectively by no longer using the Disney |
| Services. |
|
|
| Additional Restrictions on Use of the Disney Services |
|
|
| We do not allow uses of the Disney Services that are commercial or business-related, or that |
| advertise or offer to sell products or services (whether or not for profit), or that solicit others |
| (including solicitations for contributions or donations). You agree not to knowingly or recklessly |
| introduce a virus or other harmful component, or otherwise tamper with, impair or damage any |
| Disney Service or connected network, or interfere with any person or entity’s use or enjoyment |
| of any Disney Service. You agree not to use any software or device that allows automated |
| gameplay, expedited gameplay, or other manipulation of gameplay or game client and you agree |
| not to cheat or otherwise modify a Disney Service or game experience to create an advantage for |
| one user over another. Additionally, you agree not to access, monitor or copy, or permit another |
| person or entity to access, monitor or copy, any element of the Disney Services using a robot, |
| search engine, “spider,” “scraper,” or other automated means or manual process without our |
| express written permission. |
|
|
| Third-Party Services and Content |
|
|
| The Disney Services may integrate, be integrated into, or be provided in connection with third- |
| party services and content. We do not control those third-party services and content. You |
| should read the terms of use agreements and privacy policies that apply to such third-party |
| services and content. |
|
|
| If you access a Disney Service using an Apple iOS, Android or Microsoft Windows-powered |
| device or Microsoft Xbox One, Apple Inc., Google, Inc. or Microsoft Corporation, respectively, |
| shall be a third-party beneficiary to this contract. However, these third-party beneficiaries are |
| not a party to this contract and are not responsible for the provision or support of the Disney |
| Services. You agree that your access to the Disney Services using these devices also shall be |
| subject to the usage terms set forth in the applicable third-party beneficiary’s terms of service. |
|
|
| Mobile Networks |
|
|
| When you access the Disney Services through a mobile network, your network or roaming |
| provider’s messaging, data and other rates and fees will apply. Downloading, installing or using |
| certain Disney Services may be prohibited or restricted by your network provider and not all |
| Disney Services may work with your network provider or device. |
|
|
| Affiliate Advertising Programs |
|
|
| Disney DTC is a participant in affiliate advertising programs designed to provide a means for |
| sites to earn advertising fees by advertising and linking to third party retail sites. |
|
|
| 3. Your Content and Account |
|
|
| User Generated Content |
|
|
| The Disney Services may allow you to communicate, submit, upload or otherwise make |
| available text, chats, images, audio, video, competition entries or other content (“User Generated |
| Content”), which may be accessible and viewable by the public. Access to these features may be |
| subject to age restrictions. You may not submit or upload User Generated Content that is |
| defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or |
| otherwise offensive or that harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity, |
| whether or not such material is protected by law. |
|
|
| In most instances, we do not claim ownership to your User Generated Content; however, you |
| grant us a non-exclusive, sublicensable, irrevocable and royalty-free worldwide license under all |
| copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual |
| property rights for the full duration of those rights to use, reproduce, transmit, print, publish, |
| publicly display, exhibit, distribute, redistribute, copy, index, comment on, modify, transform, |
| adapt, translate, create derivative works based upon, publicly perform, publicly communicate, |
| make available, and otherwise exploit such User Generated Content, in whole or in part, in all |
| media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the |
| Disney Services and on third-party sites and platforms), in any number of copies and without |
| limit as to time, manner and frequency of use, without further notice to you, without attribution |
| (to the extent this is not contrary to mandatory provisions of applicable law), and without the |
| requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity. You agree that |
| submission of User Generated Content does not establish any relationship of trust and confidence |
| between you and us, and that you have no expectation of compensation whatsoever (except as |
| may be specifically stated in the provisions of the Disney Services in connection with the |
| submission, or arising from it). |
|
|
| You represent and warrant that your User Generated Content conforms to these terms and that |
| you own or have the necessary rights and permissions including, without limitation, all |
| copyrights, music rights and likeness rights (with respect to any person) contained in the User |
| Generated Content, without the need for payment to any other person or entity, to use and |
| exploit, and to authorize us to use and exploit, your User Generated Content in all manners |
| contemplated by these terms. You agree to indemnify and hold us and our subsidiary and |
| affiliated companies, and each of their respective employees and officers, harmless from any |
| demands, loss, liability, claims or expenses (including attorneys’ fees), made against us by any |
| third party arising out of or in connection with our use and exploitation of your User Generated |
| Content resulting from your breach of any warranty, representation or other provision of these |
| terms or any applicable supplemental terms. You also agree not to enforce any moral rights, |
| ancillary rights or similar rights in or to the User Generated Content against us or our licensees, |
|
|
| distributors, agents, representatives and other authorized users, and agree to procure the same |
| agreement not to enforce from others who may possess such rights. |
|
|
| To the extent that we authorize you to create, post, upload, distribute, publicly display or |
| publicly perform User Generated Content that requires the use of our copyrighted works, we |
| grant you a non-exclusive license to create a derivative work using the specifically referenced |
| copyrighted works as required for the sole purpose of creating the materials, provided that such |
| license shall be conditioned upon your assignment to us of all rights worldwide in the work you |
| create for the duration of copyright in the User Generated Content, in all formats and media |
| known or unknown to date, including for use on Disney Services and on third party sites and |
| platforms. If such rights are not assigned to us, your license to create derivative works using our |
| copyrighted works shall be null and void. |
|
|
| We may monitor, screen, post, remove, modify, store and review User Generated Content or |
| communications sent through a Disney Service, at any time and for any reason, including to |
| ensure that the User Generated Content or communication conforms to these terms, without prior |
| notice to you. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse or guarantee, the opinions, views, |
| advice or recommendations posted or sent by users. |
|
|
| Accounts |
|
|
| Some Disney Services permit or require you to create an account to participate or to secure |
| additional benefits. You agree that any information you provide and maintain is accurate, |
| current and complete, including your contact information for notices and other communications |
| from us and your payment information. You agree not to impersonate or misrepresent your |
| affiliation with any person or entity, including using another person’s username, password or |
| other account information, or another person’s name or likeness, or provide false details for a |
| parent or guardian. You agree that we may take steps to verify the accuracy of information you |
| provide, including contact information for a parent or guardian. |
|
|
| We have adopted and implemented a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate |
| circumstances, of the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. In addition, we |
| may suspend or terminate your account and your ability to use the Disney Services if you engage |
| in, encourage, or advocate for illegal conduct or if you fail to comply with these terms or any |
| supplemental terms. |
|
|
| Passwords and Security |
|
|
| You agree that you will not share your account or account information with others. You are |
| responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your username and |
| password, and you are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably |
| control. You agree to promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your username, password or |
| other account information, or of any other breach of security that you become aware of involving |
| your account or the Disney Services. |
|
|
| The security, integrity and confidentiality of your information are extremely important to us. We |
| have implemented technical, administrative and physical security measures that are designed to |
| protect your information from unauthorized access, disclosure, use and modification. |
|
|
| 4. Paid Transactions |
|
|
| Identity of Seller |
|
|
| Sales are made by Disney DTC or the seller identified at the time of sale, if different. If you |
| have questions about your order, please contact the seller at the address provided and they will |
| assist you. Some digital storefronts on the Disney Services are operated by third parties and, in |
| that case, different or additional sale terms may apply, which you should read when they are |
| presented to you. |
|
|
| Digital Content and Virtual Items |
|
|
| We may make applications, games, software or other digital content available on the Disney |
| Services for you to license for a one-time fee. When purchasing a license to access such material |
| from a Disney Service, charges will be disclosed to you on the Disney Service before you |
| complete the license purchase. |
|
|
| Your purchase of a virtual item or in-game currency is a payment for a limited, non-assignable |
| license to access and use such content or functionality in the Disney Services with no right to |
| reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, make available to the public or transform any |
| Disney Service via any online media, in any media format or channel now known or hereafter |
| devised (except as may be expressly described or contemplated within the Disney Service). |
| Virtual items (including characters and character names) or in-game currency purchased or |
| available to you in the Disney Services can only be used in connection with the Disney Services |
| where you obtained them or where they were developed by you as a result of game play. These |
| items are not redeemable or subject to refund and cannot be traded outside of the Disney |
| Services for money or other items for value. We may modify or discontinue virtual items or in- |
| game currency at any time. |
|
|
| Digital Movie Codes |
|
|
| Digital codes originally packaged in a combination disc + code package (a package that includes |
| a DVD, Blu-Ray, and/or 4K/UHD disc(s) and a digital code) may not be sold separately and may |
| be redeemed only by an individual who obtains the code in the original combination disc + code |
| package, or by a family member of that individual. Digital codes are not authorized for |
| redemption if sold separately. You may use digital movie codes to obtain licensed access to |
| digital movies only as specifically authorized under these terms and conditions and the terms and |
| conditions of the participating provider of digital content through which you access or download |
| the digital movie. Digital movie codes sold, distributed, purchased, or transferred in a manner |
| inconsistent with these terms and conditions are subject to being invalidated. |
|
|
| Digital Movie Code Returns. If you do not agree to the above terms and conditions for |
| redeeming a digital movie code obtained by you or a family member in an original combination |
| disc + code package, you may return the combination disc + code package to Disney for a refund |
| subject to the conditions provided at this link. |
|
|
| Subscriptions |
|
|
| Some Disney Services require paid subscriptions to access. By signing up for a subscription, |
| you agreed that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your |
| subscription, you authorized us to charge your payment method for the renewal term. The period |
| of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to |
| you at the time of sale. The renewal rate will be no more than the rate for the immediately prior |
| subscription period, excluding any promotional and discount pricing, unless we notify you of a |
| rate change prior to your auto-renewal, in which case you will have the right to cancel the |
| renewal of your subscription. From time to time, we may offer a free trial subscription for a |
| Disney Service. If you register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your account |
| when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time. |
|
|
| When you subscribe to a Disney Service (other than semi-annual and annual subscriptions), you |
| have the right to cancel your contract within fourteen (14) days from the date the transaction is |
| concluded and you will receive a full refund of the subscription fee paid. For semi-annual and |
| annual subscriptions, if notice of cancellation is received within the first thirty (30) days |
| following the first day of initial billing, you will receive a refund of the subscription fee paid. If |
| we refund your subscription fee, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred by you |
| in the course of using the Disney Service prior to the date of cancellation. If you pay a periodic |
| subscription fee for a Disney Service, we will provide you with reasonable notice of changes to |
| the fees or billing methods in advance of their effective date and you will be able to cancel your |
| subscription prior to such change. If you subscribed online, we will give you the option of |
| cancelling the subscription online. |
|
|
| The Order Process |
|
|
| You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address (if |
| applicable), payment method and product details. We will send to you a notice when we accept |
| your order and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been |
| effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for |
| sale will be made and become binding on both you and us. The risk of loss in any goods you |
| purchase and the responsibility to insure them passes to you when the relevant goods are |
| delivered. |
|
|
| We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Some situations that may |
| result in your order being cancelled include system or typographical errors, inaccuracies in |
| product or pricing information or product availability, fairness among customers where supplies |
| are limited, or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require |
| additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if any |
| portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If |
|
|
| your order is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will |
| refund your payment. |
|
|
| Payments and Billing |
|
|
| When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is |
| accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us |
| of changes to the payment information. We reserve the right to utilize third party payment card |
| updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards and debit cards. |
|
|
| Right of Cancellation; Return of Goods |
|
|
| You may have the right to cancel an order placed for a Disney Service - depending on the nature |
| of the Disney Service. Please read the following information carefully so you understand your |
| right of cancellation. |
|
|
| If you wish to cancel, you must do so by following the cancellation instructions for the particular |
| Disney Service. A sample cancellation form is available here. |
|
|
| Cancelling Subscriptions |
|
|
| Please see the information above on the process for cancelling subscriptions in our Subscriptions |
| section. |
|
|
| Digital Content |
|
|
| When you purchase a license to access digital content or virtual items, you will be given an |
| opportunity to consent to delivery at the time of purchase. By consenting to delivery, you |
| acknowledge that you have lost the right to cancel. License purchase fees paid for digital content |
| are non-refundable. |
|
|
| Physical Goods |
|
|
| You have the right, within thirty (30) days from the date of your receipt of physical goods, to |
| cancel our contract with you and return the goods. This right does not apply to goods stated by |
| us on the Disney Services to be non-returnable, including but not limited to: |
|
|
| • Any products with a seal, where the seal is broken, such as audio and video recordings, |
|
|
| computer software, and CD’s, DVD’s or other physical media that have been supplied in |
| sealed packaging; and |
|
|
| • Personalized items. |
|
|
| Personalized Goods |
|
|
| We reserve the right to refuse personalized orders at our discretion. Inappropriate use of our |
| personalization service will cause your order to be cancelled and any payment refunded. |
|
|
| These cancellation rights are separate and in addition to your rights should any item we supply |
| be faulty. |
|
|
| If you are returning goods that are not faulty, you may be required to pay for the cost of returning |
| the goods to us and we may deduct a reasonable amount if you use the goods. |
|
|
| Pricing; Taxes |
|
|
| We may revise the pricing for products and services we offer. When you place your order, we |
| estimate the applicable tax and include that estimate in the total for your convenience. Except to |
| the extent required under applicable tax laws, the actual tax amount that will be applied to your |
| order and charged to your payment method is based on calculations on the date of shipment, |
| regardless of when the order was placed. |
|
|
| International Shipping; Customs |
|
|
| When ordering goods for delivery to countries other than the country where the seller is located, |
| you may have to pay import duties and taxes levied. These and any additional charges for |
| customs clearance must be borne by you. For goods shipped internationally, please note that any |
| manufacturer warranty may not be valid; manufacturer service options may not be available; |
| manuals, instructions and safety warnings may not be in destination country languages; the |
| goods and accompanying materials may not be designed in accordance with destination country |
| standards, specifications, and labeling requirements; and the goods may not conform to |
| destination country voltage (requiring use of an adapter or converter). You are responsible for |
| assuring the goods can be lawfully imported to the destination country. When ordering from us, |
| the recipient is the importer of record and must comply with all laws and regulations of the |
| destination country. |
|
|
| 5. Competitions |
|
|
| Competitions that you enter on a Disney Service may have supplemental rules and/or conditions, |
| but the following general rules apply absent contrary terms in any supplemental rules or |
| conditions for the competition. If there are rules or conditions for a competition and such rules |
| or conditions conflict with these terms, the provisions contained in the rules and conditions |
| govern and control the competition. |
|
|
| Entries |
|
|
| Your competition entry is User Generated Content and subject to all provisions of these terms |
| that govern your submission and our use of your User Generated Content. We may disqualify |
| entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible or invalid or where |
| appropriate parental consent was not provided. Competition entries are limited to one per person |
| and entries via agents or third parties or the use of multiple identities are not permitted. Use of |
| automated entries, votes or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be |
| disqualified. |
|
|
| We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or terminate a competition or extend or resume |
| the entry period or disqualify any participant or entry at any time without giving advance |
| notice. We will do so if it cannot be guaranteed the competition can be carried out fairly or |
| correctly for technical, legal or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated |
| entries or results, provided false information or acted unethically. If we cancel or terminate a |
| competition, prizes may be awarded in any manner we deem fair and appropriate consistent with |
| local laws governing the competition. |
|
|
| Eligibility |
|
|
| To enter a competition, the competition must be open to residents in your country and you must |
| be a registered user of the Disney Services and have an active account with current contact |
| information. No purchase is necessary to enter a competition and a purchase will not improve |
| your chances of winning. Competitions are not open to our employees (or their immediate |
| families) or anyone else professionally associated with the competition. If you are under age 18 |
| (or under the age of majority under applicable law) and the competition is open to you, we may |
| need your parent or guardian’s consent before we can accept your entry. We reserve the right to |
| request proof of identity or to verify eligibility conditions and potential winning entries, and to |
| award any prize to a winner in person. Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by |
| law. Potential winners who are residents in jurisdictions where competitions require an element |
| of skill may be required to answer a mathematical test in order to be eligible to win a prize. |
|
|
| Prizes |
|
|
| No cash or alternative prizes are available, except that we (or the party providing a prize) reserve |
| the right to substitute a similar prize of equal or greater value. Prizes cannot be transferred |
| (except to a child or other family member) or sold by winners. Only the number of prizes stated |
| for the competition is available to be won and all prizes will be awarded provided a sufficient |
| number of eligible entries are received and prizes are validly claimed by the date provided in |
| connection with the competition, after which no alternate winners will be selected or unclaimed |
| prizes awarded. Unless otherwise disclosed in the prize description prior to entry, winners are |
| responsible for all costs and expenses associated with claiming a prize. All taxes are solely the |
| responsibility of each winner, although we reserve the right to withhold applicable taxes and |
| each winner agrees to complete any required tax forms. |
|
|
| Your acceptance of a prize constitutes agreement to participate in reasonable publicity related to |
| the competition and grants us an unconditional right to us to use your name, town or city and |
| state, province or country, likeness, prize information and statements by you about the |
| competition for publicity, advertising and promotional purposes subject to applicable law and |
| regulations, all without additional permission or compensation. As a condition of receiving a |
| prize, winners (or their parents or guardians) may be required to sign and return an affidavit of |
| eligibility, liability release and publicity release. |
|
|
| 6. Additional Provisions |
|
|
| Submissions and Unsolicited Ideas Policies |
|
|
| Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative |

| 7. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER |
|
|
| PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE OR LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN ANY FORUM WILL BE |
| CONDUCTED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. Neither you nor Disney DTC will seek to have a |
| dispute heard as a class action or private attorney general action or in any other proceeding in |
| which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or |
| proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the |
| arbitrations or proceedings. |
|
|
| You and Disney DTC agree to arbitrate, as provided below, all disputes between you (including |
| any related disputes involving The Walt Disney Company or its affiliates), that are not resolved |
| informally, except disputes relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property |
| rights. “Dispute” includes any dispute, action, or other controversy, whether based on past, |
|
|
| present, or future events, between you and us concerning the Disney Services or this Agreement, |
| whether in contract, tort, warranty, statute, regulation, or other legal or equitable basis. You and |
| Disney DTC empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating |
| to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or the formation of this |
| contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of this |
| Agreement are void or voidable. |
|
|
| A. In the event of a dispute, you or Disney DTC must send to the other party a notice of |
| dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact |
| information of the party giving the notice, the facts giving rise to the dispute, and the |
| relief requested. You must send any notice of dispute to Disney DTC, 500 South |
| Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521-7620, USA, Attention: Legal. We will |
| send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have for you. You and |
| Disney DTC will attempt to resolve a dispute through informal negotiation within |
| sixty (60) days from the date the notice of dispute is sent. After that sixty (60) day |
| period and not before, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding. You may |
| instead litigate a dispute in small claims court if the dispute meets the requirements to |
| be heard in small claims court, whether or not you negotiated informally first. |
|
|
| B. If you and Disney DTC do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small |
| claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration before a neutral |
| arbitrator whose decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the |
| U.S. Federal Arbitration Act. YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE |
| A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. Arbitration will be |
| administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration and ADR Services (“JAMS”) in |
| accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the |
| “JAMS Rules”). The JAMS Rules and instructions about how to initiate an |
| arbitration are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. Arbitration may be |
| conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. |
| Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by |
| phone, or online, will take place in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of |
| Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, |
| however, that if circumstances prevent you from traveling to Los Angeles or New |
| York, JAMS may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and Disney |
| DTC agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located |
| in either Los Angeles, California or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New |
| York, whichever is more convenient for you, in order to compel arbitration, to stay |
| proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on |
| the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to you |
| individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the |
| extent required to satisfy your individual claim. |
|
|
| Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California and Manhattan, |
| New York, New York, nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as consent by |
| Disney DTC or its affiliates to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims |
| or controversies unrelated to the Disney Services or this Agreement. |
