Arbitration Agreement
DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Skydance (including its affiliates, agents, employees,
predecessors in interest, successors, and assigns) and you agree that any Dispute
(as defined below) between you and Skydance, regarding any aspect of your
1.
relationship with Skydance, will be resolved in a binding, confidential, individual,
and fair arbitration process, and not in court. Each of you and Skydance agrees to
give up the right to sue in court. The term “Dispute” is to be given the broadest
possible meaning that will be enforced, and shall include any dispute, claim,
demand, count, cause of action, or controversy between you and Skydance, whether
based in contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, tort (including, but not limited to,
fraud, misrepresentation, fraudulent inducement, negligence, or any other
intentional tort), or any other legal or equitable theory. The term “Dispute”
specifically includes, but is not limited to, any and all claims between you and
Skydance in any way related to or concerning this Arbitration Agreement, any other
aspect of this Agreement (including their applicability and their conformance to
applicable law), any products or services provided by Skydance, any billing
disputes, and any disputes relating to telephonic, text message, or any other
communications either of us received from the other. The only exceptions to this
Arbitration Agreement are that each of you and Skydance: (a) retains the right to
sue in small claims court; and (b) may bring suit in court against the other to enjoin
infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. Disputes over whether
these exceptions apply shall be resolved by the court in which such action has been
brought; all other disputes over arbitrability shall be resolved by the arbitrator.
Each of you and Skydance also agrees to give up the ability to seek to represent, in
a class action or otherwise, anyone but each of you and Skydance (see Paragraph 6
(Declaratory or Injunctive Relief; Third Party Proceedings) below). There is no
judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. An
arbitrator must follow this Agreement. The arbitrator, however, can award on an
individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and
declaratory relief, or statutory damages). This Agreement evidences a transaction
in interstate commerce, and thus the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16,
governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. This
Arbitration Agreement shall survive termination of this Agreement.
JAMS. Any arbitration between you and Skydance will be conducted by the
Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS
Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS
Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitration shall be
conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, and if you and Skydance cannot agree on
who that single arbitrator will be, the arbitrator will be appointed pursuant to the
JAMS Rules, with the participation and involvement of Skydance and you pursuant
to JAMS Rule 12. The JAMS Rules are available on its website at
http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. The JAMS Consumer

RULES. You and Skydance acknowledge and agree to abide by the following rules
for arbitration:
Claims. YOU AND SKYDANCE 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,
REPRESENTATIVE OR MULTI-CLAIMANT PROCEEDING, AND
THE ARBITRATOR SHALL HAVE NO POWER TO AWARD CLASS-
WIDE RELIEF.
Arbitration Costs. Skydance will pay arbitration costs as required by the
JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards and consistent with
Paragraph 6 (Declaratory or Injunctive Relief; Third Party Proceedings)
below.
a.
b.
c.
a.
b.
Award. The arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual
remedies that are permitted by applicable law.
Fees. Each side pays his, her, or its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise
provided in Paragraph 5 (Attorneys Fees; Arbitration Fees) below. JAMS
charges filing and other fees to conduct arbitrations. Ordinarily, the claimant
has to pay the filing fee to initiate arbitration, but if you wish to commence
an arbitration against Skydance, you and Skydance acknowledge and agree
to abide by the following:
i.
ii.
iii.
If you are seeking to recover less than $10,000 (inclusive of
attorneys’ fees), Skydance will pay the filing fee on your behalf or
reimburse your payment of it;
If you are seeking to recover $10,000 or more, you will have to pay
the filing fee charged by JAMS, but Skydance will reimburse the
filing fee if you prevail on all claims decided upon by the arbitrator;
Skydance and you agree that, if the claims to be arbitrated total less
than $10,000 (inclusive of attorneys’ fees), the claim ordinarily
should be decided on written submissions only, without a telephonic
or in-person hearing. Skydance will not request a hearing for any
claims totaling less than $10,000. This provision shall not be
construed by the arbitrator to deprive you of any rights you may have
to a telephonic or in-person hearing in your hometown area pursuant
to the JAMS Rules; and
iv.
Skydance and you agree that, if the claims to be arbitrated total
$10,000 or more, the arbitration will occur in a manner and place
consistent with the JAMS Rules.
DISCOVERY; DECISION. Regardless of how the arbitration proceeds, each of
you and Skydance shall cooperate in good faith in the exchange of non-privileged
documents and information as necessary in accordance with the JAMS Rules, and
the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain his or her
findings and conclusions.
ATTORNEYS FEES; ARBITRATION FEES. Each of you and Skydance may
incur attorneys’ fees during the arbitration. Each side agrees to pay his, her, or its
own attorneys' fees unless the claim(s) at issue permit the prevailing party to be
paid its attorneys' fees, and in such instance, the fees awarded shall be determined
by the applicable law(s). In addition to whatever rights you may have to recover
your attorneys’ fees under applicable law, if you prevail in the arbitration, and if
Skydance failed to make a settlement offer to you before the arbitration, or the
c.
d.
4.
5.
amount you win is at least 25% greater than Skydance’s highest settlement offer,
then Skydance will pay your reasonable attorneys’ fees in addition to the amount
the arbitrator awarded. If Skydance wins the arbitration, you will be responsible
for your own attorneys’ fees. In addition, if the arbitrator, at the request of the
winning party, finds that the losing party brought a claim or asserted a defense
frivolously or for an improper purpose, then regardless of the amount in dispute,
the arbitrator must order the losing party to pay both sides’ arbitration fees and may
order the losing party to pay the winning party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, unless
such an award of fees is prohibited by Applicable Law.
DECLARATORY OR INJUNCTIVE RELIEF; THIRD PARTY PROCEEDINGS.
The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the
individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief
warranted by that party's individual claim. The arbitrator may not order Skydance
to pay any monies to or take any actions with respect to persons other than you,
unless Skydance explicitly consents in advance, after an arbitrator is selected, to
permit the arbitrator to enter such an order. Furthermore, unless Skydance
expressly agrees, the arbitrator may not consolidate other persons’ claims with
yours, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative, multi-
claimant or class proceeding.
CONFIDENTIALITY. You and Skydance agree to maintain the confidential
nature of the arbitration proceeding and shall not disclose the fact of the arbitration,
any documents exchanged as part of any mediation, proceedings of the arbitration,
the arbitrator’s decision, and the existence or amount of any award, except as may
be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration (in which case anyone
becoming privy to confidential information must undertake to preserve its
confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court
application for a provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an award or its
enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or court order.
SEVERABILITY & SURVIVAL. With the exception of Paragraph 3.a. (Rules –
Claims) (i.e., the waiver of the ability to proceed on behalf of multiple claimants or
a purported class), if any part of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid,
unenforceable, or illegal, then the balance of this Arbitration Agreement shall
remain in effect and be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid,
unenforceable, or illegal provision were not contained. If, however, Paragraph 3.a.
(Rules – Claims) is found invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this
Arbitration Agreement shall be null and void, but the rest of this Agreement,
including the provisions governing where actions against Skydance must be
pursued, the choice of governing law, and our mutual waiver of the right to a trial
by jury, will remain in effect and apply to any claim that, for this or any other
reason, proceeds in court rather than in arbitration.

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Venue
Use of the Platform, including, without limitation, any purchases made through the
Platform, and any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or relating in any way to
your use of the Platform, this Agreement, and/or products purchased through the Platform
shall be governed by the laws of your home state of residence without respect to its choice
(or conflict) of laws rules. Any claim or cause of action you may have with respect to
Skydance or the Platform must be commenced within 1 year after the claim or cause of
action arose. Jurisdiction and venue for any dispute shall be in Los Angeles, California.
Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in that forum for any and all
purposes.
Class Action Waiver
Both you and Skydance waive the right to bring any controversy, claim, or dispute arising
out of or relating in any way to your use of the Platform or purchases through the Platform
as a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general action, or to
participate in a class, consolidated, representative, collective, or private attorney general
action regarding any such claim brought by anyone else.
Waiver and Severability
No waiver by Skydance of any term or condition set forth in this Agreement shall be
deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other
term or condition, and any failure of Skydance to assert a right or provision under this
Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Except as otherwise
expressly provided herein, if any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other
tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable for any reason,
such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining
provisions of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

Information We Collect on the Website
COLLECTION OF USAGE INFORMATION. When users come to our Website, we automatically collect “Usage Information” which include among other things, which pages of our Website were visited, the order in which they were visited, when they were visited, and which hyperlinks were “clicked.” We also collect information from the URLs from which you linked to our Website. Collecting such information may involve logging the IP address or other unique identifier (“Device Identifier”) for your computer, phone, tablet or other device used to access the Website (any, “Device”), operating system and browser software used by each user of the Website. Although such information is not Personally Identifiable Information, we may be able to determine from an IP address a user’s Internet Service Provider and the geographic location of his or her point of connectivity. Whenever we associate Usage Information or a Device Identifier with your Personally Identifiable Information, we will treat it as Personally Identifiable Information.
TECHNOLOGY USED ON THE WEBSITE. We also use or may use cookies, web beacons and/or embedded scripts to help us determine and identify repeat visitors, the type of content and sites to which a user of our Website links, the length of time each user spends at any particular area of our Website, and the specific functionalities that users choose to use. Essentially, cookies are a user’s identification card for the Skydance servers. Web beacons are small graphic files linked to our servers that allow us to track your use of our Website and related functionalities. An embedded script is programming code that is designed to collect information about your interactions with the Website, such as the links you click on. The code is temporarily downloaded onto your Device from our web server or a third party service provider, is active only while you are connected to the Website, and is deactivated or deleted thereafter.
Cookies, web beacons and embedded script allow Skydance to serve you better and more efficiently, and to personalize your experience at our Website. Cookies, web beacons and embedded script are not used to retain Personally Identifiable Information. You should be able to control how and whether cookies will be accepted by your web browser. Most browsers offer instructions on how to reset the browser to reject cookies in the “Help” section of the toolbar. If you reject our cookies, certain of the functions and conveniences of this Website may not work properly, but you do not have to accept our cookies in order to use many functionalities of the Website.
California Business & Professions Code Section 22575(b)(as amended effective January 1, 2014) provides that California residents are entitled to know how Skydance responds to “Do Not Track” browser settings. Skydance does not currently take actions to respond to Do Not Track signals because a uniform technological standard has not yet been developed. We continue to review new technologies and may adopt a standard once one is created.
COLLECTION OF PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION. In order to access certain features and benefits on our Website, you may need to submit “Personally Identifiable Information” (i.e., information that can be used to identify you). Personally Identifiable Information can include information such as your name, address, telephone number and email address. You are responsible for ensuring the accuracy of the Personally Identifiable Information you submit to Skydance. Inaccurate information may affect your ability to use the Website, the information you receive when using the Website, and our ability to contact you. For example, your email address should be kept current because that is one of the primary manners in which we communicate with you. We may collect Personally Identifiable Information in connection with various functionality and services offered via the Website, including the following:

- SOCIAL MEDIA INTERACTION. We may receive Personally Identifiable Information when you engage with our Website on or through third-party social networking sites, such as Facebook or Twitter, and allow us to have access to information from your profile (e.g., name, email address, photo, gender, birthday, location, friends, followers, the posts or the ‘likes’ you make). You can control what data you share through privacy settings available on some social networking sites. For more information about how you can customize your privacy settings and how such third-party sites treat your Personally Identifiable Information, please refer to their privacy policies and terms of use.
- METADATA. Metadata is usually technical data that is associated with User Content. For example, Metadata can describe how, when and by whom a piece of User Content was collected and how that content is formatted. Users can add or may have Metadata added to their User Content including a hashtag (e.g., to mark keywords when you post a photo), geotag (e.g., to mark your location to a photo), comments or other data. This makes your User Content more searchable by others and more interactive. If you geotag your photo or tag your photo using other’s APIs then, your latitude and longitude will be stored with the photo and searchable (e.g., through a location or map feature) if you make your photo public by posting it on our Website.
