Terms of Use - Executive Summary

​

Welcome to our terms of use page and thank you for reviewing them. We’re glad you are as interested in protecting your data and media ownership as we are. Let’s cut to the chase. You retain all ownership rights to your data and your media. We do not take ownership of the data that is submitted to us and license it back to you. This is important, and not everyone does it this way.

 

When you are using our services we need your permission to use the media, that you own, to do the things you’d like us to do on your behalf. Even for simple things like displaying images to your client, legally we need a license to do this. The legal language to grant us this licensing looks scary, and it certainly can be when the licensing isn’t scoped correctly. In our Terms of Use, you are only granting us a license to your media when it’s in connection with our Products. For anything that is unrelated to our Products, you are NOT granting us a license to use your media.

​

Here’s the legal language that grants us the licensing to your Intellectual Property that we need to provide the products and services of our platform to your business:

​

"When you submit, upload, or post any Submitted Content that is covered by intellectual property rights on or in connection with our products, you hereby grant us, a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, and worldwide license to host, use, distribute, modify, run, copy, publicly perform or display, translate, and create derivative works of your Submitted Content, subject in each case to any use and sharing preferences or other restrictions you have specified within the platform."

​

It’s not a scary as it sounds, especially because it is scoped to only the use of your media when in connection with our Products. Here's a breakdown of what these things mean in layman terms:

​

Non-exclusive: This means you can give the same rights to others too, like to your clients.
 

Transferable: The entire company can be transferred to another owner, but all of the limitations to these rights remain in place exactly as they are. The license you are granting is only in connection with our Products.

Sub-licensable: The company can give some or all of these rights to other parties. This is used when you’ve requested us to upload your content to a 3rd party like Vimeo, YouTube, the MLS, etc. 

​

Royalty-free: We don’t have to pay you royalties to use your content to do the things you’ve asked us to do.

​

Worldwide: This license is "worldwide" because the internet is global, and we need to be able to do these things no matter where in the world the users are.

​

Host: Keep your content on our servers, for use in connection with our Products.
 

Use: This means we can do things with your content to make the service work, like showing your photos in different sizes.

​

Distribute: We need to be able to share your content, like allowing your client to download your photos.

​

Modify: Sometimes we need to change the format of your content so it works better on the platform, like making a photo smaller for faster loading.

​

Run: This is about using your content in the normal operation of our service.

 

Copy: We need to make copies of your content, like backups, so it’s never lost.

​

Publicly Perform or Display: This means showing your content to other "users" on the platform, like your clients or prospective home buyers.

​

Translate: If your content has text, it might need to be translated for users in other countries.

​

Create Derivative Works: To create new things based on your content, like using your media in a social media design that is part of the Marketing Kit.

 

Remember, this doesn't mean we own your content – you still do. This doesn’t mean we have a license we can do anything we want with either. We can only use your content when it’s in connection with our Products. We legally need these permissions to make our service work properly with the content you choose to share with us.

ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER

​

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

​

You agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions. This Section is intended to be interpreted broadly and governs any and all disputes between us, including but not limited to claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation or any other legal theory; claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement (including, but not limited to, claims related to advertising, and any content available on or through our website(s)); and claims that may arise after the termination of these Terms. The only disputes excluded from this broad prohibition are the litigation of certain intellectual property and small court claims, as provided below.

​

By agreeing to these Terms, you agree to resolve any and all disputes with HDPhotoHub as follows:

Initial Dispute Resolution: Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. You can reach us at [email protected]. Except for intellectual property and small claims court claims, the parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with HDPhotoHub, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration.

​

Binding Arbitration: If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of thirty (30) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then either party may initiate binding arbitration as the sole means to resolve claims, subject to the terms set forth below. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the Terms’ or Privacy Policy’s formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your use of our website(s) shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS  in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Policy, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Policy is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 1420 5th Ave #1650, Seattle, WA 98101; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to HDPhotoHub at P.O. Box 1262, Spokane Valley, WA 99037, United States.

 

The parties understand that, absent this mandatory arbitration provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. For individuals residing outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of Washington, United States of America. You and HDPhotoHub further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in Washington 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.

​

Class Action Waiver: The parties further agree that the arbitration shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND HDPHOTOHUB 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. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

​

Exception for Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims: Notwithstanding the parties' decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring enforcement actions, validity determinations or claims arising from or relating to theft, piracy or unauthorized use of intellectual property in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights ("intellectual property rights" means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.

​

30-Day Right to Opt Out: You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending (from the email address you used to create your Account) written notice of your decision to opt out to [email protected] with the subject line, "ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT." The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your agreement to these Terms; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, HDPhotoHub also will not be bound by them.

​

Changes to This Section: HDPhotoHub will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes to this section by posting on the Services, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you.

​

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled "Arbitration and Class Action Waiver," and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.

​

Survival: This Arbitration and Class Action and Jury Trial Waiver section shall survive any termination of your Account or the Services.

 

​

SEVERABILITY

​

If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use will remain in full force and effect.

 

​

GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION AND VENUE

​

These Terms of Use and Privacy Policy will be governed under the laws of the State of Washington without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. All actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use will be adjudicated exclusively in the state or federal court of competent jurisdiction for the City of Spokane Valley. You hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of said courts for all such purposes. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Site may also bring legal proceedings in any jurisdiction where we believe that infringement of these Terms of Use is taking place or originating. If either party to this agreement brings a legal action against the other party to these Terms to secure the specific performance of the Terms, collect damages for breach of this agreement, or otherwise enforce or interpret these Terms, the prevailing party will recover reasonable attorney’s fees and all costs, premiums for bonds, fees, and other expenses expended or incurred in the action in addition to any other relief that may be awarded.

 

​

INDEMNITY


You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Site from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to, or arising out of, your use of this Site in violation of these Terms of Use and/or arising from a breach of these Terms of Use and/or any breach of your representations and warranties set forth above and/or if any material that you post using this Site causes us to be liable to another.
