Content License
When you give us content (e.g., a personal video tape of you or
another individual swimming or doing aquatic activities), you
grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free,
sublicensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise the copyright,
publicity, and database rights you have in the content, in any
media known now or in the future. We need these rights to host
and display your customized animation.
Liability
You will not hold www.virtual-swim.com
responsible for other users' actions or inactions, including things
they post. You acknowledge that we are not a traditional web site.
Instead, www.virtual-swim.com is a
venue to allow anyone to view, post, compare, analyze, learn,
instruct and enjoy customized animation of individuals swimming
and doing aquatic activities, at anytime, from anywhere, in a
variety of pricing formats. We have no control over and do not
guarantee the quality or legality of the content that we receive
from our customers (e.g., video tape).
We do not transfer legal ownership of the customized
animations to you, and nothing in this agreement shall modify
the governing provisions of California Commercial Code ¤ 2401(2)
and Uniform Commercial Code ¤ 2-401(2), under which legal ownership
of an item is transferred upon physical delivery of the item to
the buyer by the seller. That is, we post your customized animation
on www.virtual-swim.com so we can
freely view your animation at any time from any online access
point. However, we cannot guarantee continuous or secure access
to our services, and operation of our web site may be interfered
with by numerous factors outside of our control. Accordingly,
to the extent legally permitted, we exclude all implied warranties,
terms and conditions. We are not liable for any loss of money,
goodwill, or reputation, or any special, indirect, or consequential
damages arising out of your use of our web site. Some jurisdictions
do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages,
so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.
Regardless of the previous paragraph, if we are
found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party
is limited to the greater of (a) the total fees you paid to us
in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability,
and (b) $100.
Release
If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and
our officers, directors, agents, subsidiaries, joint ventures
and employees) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential)
of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or
in any way connected with such disputes. If you are a California
resident, you waive California Civil Code ¤1542, which says: "A
general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does
not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing
the release, which if known by him must have materially affected
his settlement with the debtor."

Law and Forum for Disputes
- This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws
of the State of California as they apply to agreements entered

Arbitration Option - For any
claim (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief)
where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000,
the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute

arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, they shall
initiate such arbitration through an established alternative

upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply
with the following rules: a) the arbitration shall be conducted
by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions,
the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating
the arbitration; b) the arbitration shall not involve any personal
appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually
agreed by the parties; and c) any judgment on the award rendered
by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
