  1. User-Generated Content

UCB may now or in the future offer users of our Site or Services the opportunity to create, build, post, upload, display, publish, distribute, transmit, broadcast, or otherwise make available on or submit through the Service reviews, messages, text, illustrations, files, images, graphics, photos, comments, feedback, surveys, responses, sounds, music, videos, information, content, data, questions, suggestions, personally identifiable information, or other information or materials and the ideas contained therein (collectively, “User-Generated Content”). UCB does not control and is not responsible or liable for any User-Generated Content. You acknowledge, represent, and agree that all User-Generated Content submitted through your Account is submitted voluntarily, is not confidential or proprietary, and that UCB will not treat it as such.

For avoidance of doubt, User-Generated Content does not include material, images, video, show content, or other information provided or performed by performers during shows (“Performer’s Content”). Performer’s Content is and remains the sole property of the performers, their agents, partners, or licensors, and UCB does not and will not attempt to claim an ownership interest in and to Performer’s Content by and through these Terms (although UCB may have rights to use and display Performer’s Content through separate agreements with performers).

When submitting User-Generated Content, you grant to UCB a worldwide, royalty-free, transferrable, sublicensable, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable license to the User-Generated Content to make, use, copy, modify, adapt, create derivative works of, publicly perform or display, import, broadcast, transmit, distribute, license, publish, translate, offer to sell, and sell, rent, lease or lend copies of the Use-Generated Content (and derivative works thereof), and to publish your name and other information about you in connection with the User-Generated Content. UCB is under no obligation to post User-Generated Content on the Site and may, in its discretion, edit, modify, block, refuse to post, or remove any User-Generated Content at any time. You represent and warrant that you have the rights necessary to grant the rights in this Section and that the User-Generated Content does not: (i) infringe the rights of UCB or any third party; (ii) violate any agreement with UCB or any third party; (iii) violate any applicable law or regulation; (iv) contain anything that is fraudulent, untrue, harassing, libelous, defamatory, abusive, tortious, threatening, obscene, hateful, harmful or otherwise objectionable as determined in UCB’s sole discretion; and (v) cause any damage to UCB’s business, reputation, employees, members, users, or facilities.

If UCB suspects violations of the foregoing, UCB may institute legal action and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in bringing legal proceedings against violators.

  1. Copyright Complaints

UCB will respond appropriately to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), as set forth below. If you own a copyright in a work (or represent such a copyright owner) and believe that your (or such owner’s) copyright in that work has been infringed by an improper posting or distribution of it via the Service, then you may send us a written notice that includes all of the following:

  • A subject line that says: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice;”
  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  • A description of where the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity is located that is reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please include the URL or page of the Service on which the material appears);
  • Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
  • Your electronic or physical signature.

UCB will only respond to DMCA Notices that it receives by mail or email at the addresses below:

Upright Citizens Brigade, LLC

Attn: Legal

407 N. Maple, Suite 100

Beverly Hills, 90210

Email: [email protected]

It is often difficult to determine if your copyright has been infringed. UCB may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all of the foregoing requirements, and UCB may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with the DMCA.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

  1. Disclaimer of Warranties

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE SITE AND SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS,” “WITH ALL FAULTS,” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND THE ENTIRE RISK OF USE AND PERFORMANCE REMAINS WITH YOU. UCB AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, OR CONDITIONS, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, AND HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, MERCHANTABLE QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, QUIET ENJOYMENT, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

  1. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW AND TO THE EXTENT THEY ARE NOT EXCLUDED OR DISCLAIMED, UCB AND ITS LICENSORS’ MAXIMUM, AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU, AND YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY UNDER THESE TERMS FOR ANY AND ALL DAMAGES, INJURIES, AND LOSSES ARISING FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS AND CAUSES OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF, BASED ON, RESULTING FROM, OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, CONTENT, OR ANY USER-GENERATED CONTENT, WILL BE TO RECOVER THE ACTUAL DAMAGES YOU INCUR BASED UPON REASONABLE RELIANCE ON THE SITE UP TO U.S. $100.00. THE EXISTENCE OF MULTIPLE CLAIMS OR SUITS UNDER OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS, THE SITE, CONTENT, OR USER-GENERATED CONTENT WILL NOT ENLARGE OR EXTEND THE LIMITATION OF MONEY DAMAGES WHICH WILL BE YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

  1. Disclaimer of Certain Damages

TO THE GREATEST EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT, OR ON ANY STRICT LIABILITY THEORY OR OTHERWISE, WILL UCB BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, MULTIPLE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR PROPERTY DAMAGE OR ECONOMIC LOSSES. Some States do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to you.

  1. Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, AND EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR AND ARE BROUGHT AS AN INDIVIDUAL ACTION IN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS DESCRIBED IN THE LAST SENTENCE OF THIS PARAGRAPH, UCB AND CUSTOMER EACH WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO PROCEED IN A COURT OR JUDICIAL FORUM, AND THEY EACH SPECIFICALLY WAIVE THEIR RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, PURSUANT TO THE FOLLOWING PROVISIONS. UCB AND CUSTOMER AGREE TO ARBITRATE ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, CONTROVERSIES AND DISPUTES OF ANY KIND (COLLECTIVELY, “CLAIMS”) AGAINST EACH OTHER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THESE TERMS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO CLAIMS RELATING TO ANY UCB PRODUCTS OR SERVICES, OR UCB’S CHARGES OR ADVERTISING. FOR THE PURPOSES OF THIS DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISION, “CUSTOMER” ALSO INCLUDES ANY OF CUSTOMER’S AGENTS, BENEFICIARIES, TRANSFEREES OR ASSIGNS, OR ANYONE ACTING FOR OR ON BEHALF OF THE FOREGOING, AND “UCB” ALSO INCLUDES ANY OF ITS EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AFFILIATES, PARENTS, SUBSIDIARIES, BENEFICIARIES, INSURERS, ASSIGNS, AND SERVICE PROVIDERS. UCB AND CUSTOMER AGREE THAT NO CLAIMS WILL BE PURSUED OR RESOLVED AS PART OF A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE OR COLLECTIVE ACTION OR PROCEEDING, THAT NO ARBITRATION FORUM WILL HAVE JURISDICTION TO DECIDE ANY CLAIMS ON A CLASS-WIDE, COLLECTIVE, OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS, AND THAT NO RULES OR OTHER PROCEDURES FOR CLASS-WIDE OR COLLECTIVE ARBITRATION WILL APPLY. This Dispute Resolution Provision is to be broadly interpreted and applies to all Claims based in contract, tort, statute, or any other legal theory, and all Claims that arose prior to or after termination of these Terms. However, Customer and UCB (the “parties”) agree that either party may bring an individual action in a small claims court with valid jurisdiction, provided that the action remains in that court (other than any appeal of the small claims court ruling), the action is made on behalf of or against Customer only, and the action is not made part of a class action, private attorney general action, or other representative or collective action.

(1) Procedure: A party must send a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing (a) the nature and basis of the Claim; and (b) the relief sought, to the other party. Each Notice sent to Customer shall be sent to the Customer’s email address as provided by the Customer to UCB. Each Notice sent to UCB should be sent to:

UCB Cycle Company, LLC

Attn: Legal

3451 North Triumph Blvd.

Suite 100

Lehi, UT 84043

If UCB and Customer do not resolve the Claim within thirty (30) calendar days after the Notice is received, either party may commence an arbitration by filing a demand for arbitration with the JAMS arbitration forum pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures and, if applicable, its accompanying JAMS Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards (collectively, the “JAMS Rules”). Claims will be resolved pursuant to the JAMS Rules in effect at the time of the demand, as modified by these Terms (including without limitation this Dispute Resolution Provision), and heard by a single arbitrator. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by Customer or by UCB that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties, with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by JAMS or by the arbitrator. The JAMS Rules are available online at www.jamsadr.com. Except as required by law, neither a party nor an arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or results of any dispute or arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of both parties.

(2) Arbitrator’s Authority. The arbitrator is bound by these Terms (including without limitation this Dispute Resolution Provision), the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) and the JAMS Rules. The arbitrator has no authority to join or consolidate claims, or to adjudicate joined and consolidated claims. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the scope, interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including whether they are void. The parties agree that the arbitrator’s decision and award will be final and binding and may be confirmed or challenged in any court with jurisdiction as permitted under the FAA. The arbitrator can award the same damages and relief as a court (subject to any limitations contained in these Terms), but only in favor of an individual party and for a party’s individual claim.

(3) Arbitration Costs: Customer will be responsible for his/her share of any arbitration fees (e.g., filing, administrative, etc.), but only up to the amount of filing fees Customer would incur if the Claim(s) were filed in court. UCB will be responsible for all additional arbitration fees. Customer is responsible for all other costs/fees that he/she incurs in arbitration, for example, fees for attorneys, expert witnesses, etc. Customer will not be required to reimburse UCB for any fees unless the arbitrator finds that the substance of Customer’s Claim(s) or the relief sought by Customer is frivolous. If the arbitrator makes such a finding, the JAMS Rules will govern the payment of all fees, and UCB may seek reasonable attorney’s fees. UCB will pay all fees and costs it is required by law to pay.

(4) Governing Law and Enforcement: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this section, this Dispute Resolution Provision is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the FAA, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16. This Dispute Resolution Provision was drafted in compliance with the laws in all states, however, if any portion of it is deemed to be invalid or unenforceable or is found not to apply to a Claim, the remainder of this Dispute Resolution Provision remains in full force and effect. Except, if the class-arbitration waiver provision is deemed unenforceable, any class action Claim(s) must proceed in a court of competent jurisdiction.

(5) Survival: This Dispute Resolution Provision shall survive any acceptance, rejection, cancellation, or purported cancellation of any order; any payment for or return of any order; and any termination or purported termination of these Terms by Customer and UCB.

  1. Indemnification

Customer shall indemnify, defend, and hold harmless UCB, all direct and indirect subsidiaries of UCB, and all of our and their respective officers, directors, affiliates, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, demands, actions, costs, attorneys’ fees and expenses (including without limitation damages arising from personal injury, death or property damage) that may arise out of or result from: (a) any breach by you of these Terms; (b) any violation by you of any applicable law, rule, ordinance or regulation; (c) any use, misuse, modification or resale of our products by Customer or any other person; or (d) any negligence or willful misconduct of Customer.

  1. Third Party Beneficiaries

You acknowledge and agree that any other entities controlling, controlled by, or under common control with UCB shall be third party beneficiaries to these Terms, and that such other entities shall be entitled to directly enforce, and rely upon, any provision of these Terms which confers a benefit on (or rights in favor of) them. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, there are no third-party beneficiaries to the Terms, and these Terms are not intended to and shall not confer any right or benefit on any third party.

  1. Failure to Act is Not a Waiver

Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or other breaches. You agree that if UCB does not exercise or enforce any legal right or remedy which is contained in these Terms (or which UCB has the benefit of under any applicable law), this will not be taken to be a waiver of UCB’s rights or remedies, and that those rights or remedies will still be available to UCB.

  1. Governing Law

These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflict of laws principles.

  1. Termination

UCB reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to terminate your Account and restrict your use of all or any part of the Site or Services for any reason or no reason, without notice, and without liability to you or anyone else. UCB also reserves the right to block users from certain IP addresses or devices and prevent access to the Site or Service. These Terms remain effective even after your Account is terminated.

  1. Severability

These Terms shall be severable if any of the provisions hereof are held to be invalid, void or otherwise unenforceable, and the remaining provisions shall remain enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

  1. Updating These Terms

From time to time, we may update these Terms to clarify our practices or to reflect new or different practices (such as when we add new features). We reserve the right in our sole discretion to modify and/or make changes to these Terms at any time. If we make any material change, we will notify you using prominent means, such as by email notice sent to the email address specified in your Account or by posting a notice on our Site or Services. Modifications to these Terms will become effective on the day they are posted, unless stated otherwise.

Your continued use of our Site or Services after changes become effective shall mean that you accept those changes. Any revised Terms shall supersede all previous Terms.

  1. Entire Agreement

These Terms, together with orders placed by you via the Site and accepted by us, constitute the entire and only agreement between UCB and you, and supersede all prior or contemporaneous agreements, representations, warranties, and understandings, on the subject matter hereof.
