1.              OVERVIEW OF OUR SERVICES.

1.1           SKINPACKS Supplier. The SKINPACKS Supplier service provides tools that are designed to process a third-party purchaser’s (“Buyer”) payment for certain digital products (“Digital Products”) and/or physical products (“Physical Products”, and together with Digital Products, “Products”) on a third-party seller’s (“Seller”) owned or controlled website(s) (“Seller Property” or “Seller Properties”) and facilitate the delivery of Digital Products to Buyers.

1.2           SKINPACKS Discover. SKINPACKS Discover is a sub-domain of the Platform that provides a searchable marketplace of all Products being offered for sale by sellers. The SKINPACKS Discover marketplace allows users that have an account with SKINPACKS to sell and/or buy Products that SKINPACKS deems eligible for sale through SKINPACKS Discover.  To qualify for inclusion in SKINPACKS Discover, Products must meet product eligibility requirements, and SKINPACKS has the sole discretion to determine and change from time to time the product categories and products that are eligible for sale through SKINPACKS Discover.  As a marketplace, we do not own or sell the Products listed on SKINPACKS Discover and SKINPACKS is not a party to any transaction or other interaction between users through SKINPACKS Discover. Accordingly, any contract for the sale of Products through SKINPACKS Discover is entered into directly between the Seller and the Buyer.  SKINPACKS facilitates these transactions through hosting the Services, displaying pricing, listing Products, and processing payments as described in Section 8 (Additional Terms for Sellers).  For clarity, SKINPACKS will have no responsibility or obligation with respect to any transactions that are not conducted through SKINPACKS Discover.

1.3           SKINPACKS Affiliate Program.  A Seller may voluntarily participate in the SKINPACKS Affiliate Program, which allows the Seller to designate one (1) or more eligible users who is bound by the terms and conditions of the SKINPACKS Affiliate Program as an affiliate (each, an “Affiliate”).  An Affiliate is permitted to promote the applicable Seller’s Digital Product(s) by publishing Links (as defined below) on such Affiliate’s website(s) or otherwise sharing the Links with prospective Buyers, and such Affiliate will earn financial compensation from the applicable Seller (each, a “Payout”) upon the completion of a sale of the applicable Seller’s Digital Product(s) that originated from the Links (each such sale, an “Affiliate Transaction“), subject to the terms and conditions of the SKINPACKS Affiliate Program. “Links” means embedded graphics, icons, text, or HTML code provided by SKINPACKS that contains a unique hypertext pointed to a Universal Resource Locator (URL) address to the Seller’s Digital Product(s) that allows SKINPACKS to identify the Affiliate as the source of an Affiliate Transaction.  A “Sourced Webpage” means the Website, the Affiliate’s website(s), or third-party websites on which the Links are published.  For each completed Affiliate Transaction, the Affiliate will receive a fee equal to the Retail Price (defined below) of the applicable Digital Product multiplied by an affiliate percentage (the “Payout Rate“) determined by the Seller for such Digital Product at the moment the Affiliate Transaction is completed (such resulting amount, the “Affiliate Fee“).  By way of example, if a Digital Product is sold at a Retail Price of $10 through a Transaction and the Payout Rate is set to ten percent (10%), the Affiliate Fee would be equal to $10 multiplied by 10%, or $1.

2.              SKINPACKS ONLY PROVIDES A VENUE.  While we may, in our discretion, help facilitate the resolution of disputes, SKINPACKS has no control over and does not guarantee the existence, quality, timing, condition, safety or legality of Products offered through the Platform; the truth or accuracy of listings, posts or any other content or information provided by any Seller or other user through the Platform; any aspect whatsoever of any ratings provided by users; the integrity, responsibility or any action of any Seller or Buyer; the ability of Sellers to sell Products; the ability of Buyers to pay for Products; that a Buyer and Seller will actually complete a transaction or return a Product; or that a Buyer will return a Product if a return has been authorized through SKINPACKS Discover or a Seller Property.  We do not take part in the interaction between Buyers and Sellers.

3.              INTERACTIONS WITH OTHER USERS.  When interacting with other users you should exercise caution and common sense to protect your personal safety and property, just as you would when interacting with other persons whom you don’t know.  You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users (including Buyers and/or Sellers) and any other parties with whom you interact; provided, however, that SKINPACKS reserves the right, but has no obligation, to provide support in the event of disputes between users.  YOU AGREE THAT NEITHER SKINPACKS NOR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE CONDUCT, WHETHER ONLINE OR OFFLINE, OF ANY USER OF THE SERVICES, AND THAT SKINPACKS MAKES NO REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO INTERACTIONS BETWEEN USERS.  SKINPACKS AND ITS AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CLAIM, INJURY OR DAMAGE ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES.

6.2           Listing and Delivery of Digital Products.  With respect to a Digital Product, Seller may upload a digital file in a format approved by SKINPACKS (including, but not limited to, .mp3, .pdf, .png, .jpeg files) to SKINPACKS Discover and sell the Digital Product at a retail price determined by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion (the “Retail Price”). Upon a Buyer’s purchase of a Digital Product on SKINPACKS Discover, as described in Section 6.4 (Purchasing Products), or through a Seller Property which leverages the SKINPACKS Supplier services, SKINPACKS will promptly facilitate the payment from Buyer to Seller and facilitate the delivery of the Digital Product to Buyer.

6.3           Listing and Delivery of Physical Products.  With respect to Physical Products, Seller may upload a listing of a Physical Product to SKINPACKS Discover and sell the Physical Product at a Retail Price determined by Seller in its sole and absolute discretion.

6.4           Purchasing Products.  Buyers contract directly with Sellers for the purchase of Products through the Platform.  A Buyer may purchase Products through the Platform with or without an Account.  Having an Account allows a Buyer to access the Buyer’s purchase history and the purchased Digital Products through the Buyer’s SKINPACKS Library anytime.  To purchase a Product, a Buyer must complete the checkout process and provide an authorized payment method.  Except as set forth below, all purchases through the Platform are final.  All payments by Buyers for purchases through the Platform must be made through the Platform using a payment method that SKINPACKS in its sole discretion makes available through the Platform as further described in Section 8.3 (Third-Party Service Provider).

6.5           Currency Conversion.  If the Seller lists the Retail Price of a Product in a currency other than United States Dollars (USD), SKINPACKS will calculate a USD price based upon an exchange rate determined by SKINPACKS. SKINPACKS uses exchange rates obtained from http://openexchangerates.org/api. SKINPACKS cannot and does not guarantee that the exchange rate displayed reflects the most up to date rate due to the fluctuating nature of exchange rates. Accordingly, SKINPACKS recommends that you confirm current rates before engaging in any transactions on the Platform. Regardless of listed currency, all transactions, including for Digital Product, Physical Product, Seller Property, or SKINPACKS Discover will settle in USD.

6.6           Refund Policy.

(a)            SKINPACKS has no obligation to provide refunds or credits, but may grant them in circumstances where the Seller has committed fraud, or to correct any errors made by SKINPACKS or a Seller, or where the Product violates this Terms of Service, in each case in SKINPACKS’s sole discretion, or at the direction of a Seller in accordance with Seller’s refund policy published through the Platform.

(b)            It is the Buyer’s sole responsibility to appropriately handle, remove or destroy any Digital Product or Physical Product that may cause Buyer to: (i) incur additional liability, including, but not limited to, criminal and/or civil liability; or (ii) experience additional adverse effects, including, but not limited to, potential privacy, security, or technical vulnerabilities.

(c)            Upon the approval of a refund pursuant to Section 6.6(a) or 6.6(a), the full amount of the authorized refund will be offset against funds pending settlement to Seller, including in connection with future sale proceeds.  To the extent applicable, SKINPACKS will process the refund payment to Buyer on Seller’s behalf.

(d)            Please note that if you as a Buyer request a refund and also pursue a dispute resolution process for the same transaction with your payment method provider for the applicable purchase, we will decline your refund request.  This will not affect the dispute resolution process with your payment method provider.  You agree not to submit a refund request for any Product if you have already chosen to pursue a dispute resolution process with your payment method provider.

7.              TAXES.

7.1           Important Tax Considerations.  This Section 7.1 highlights some of the more important taxation issues that you will need to consider in relation to the Platform and the Services, and, in particular, provides an outline of certain aspects of their intended Indirect Tax treatment.  The articles currently accessible at https://help.SKINPACKS.com/article/121-sales-tax-on-SKINPACKS, which SKINPACKS may update or amend from time to time (together, the “Articles”), provide further information about how SKINPACKS generally handles (and, where appropriate, the settings that Sellers can control) the administration and collection of Indirect Tax (as defined below) in respect of sales of Products in certain countries and states.

This Section 7.1 and the information provided in the Articles is intended as a general guide, is not exhaustive and does not constitute, and should not be relied upon as, legal or tax advice.  Some aspects of the tax treatment of the Platform and the Services are not straightforward, and may vary between jurisdictions, and applicable tax rules, and the interpretation and application of these rules, may be subject to uncertainty and/or change.  Except to the extent specifically agreed by SKINPACKS, you are solely responsible for the proper administration, collection and reporting and remittance to the appropriate authority of all applicable taxes.  If you are unsure as to your tax responsibilities then we strongly urge you to consult your own tax advisers.

(a)            Meaning of Indirect Tax.  “Indirect Tax” includes any sales, use, value added or goods and services tax, any similar tax on sales, turnover or consumption, and any import, customs and similar taxes, duties and tariffs, together, in each case in any jurisdiction and together with any related penalties and interest.

(b)            Indirect Tax on SKINPACKS Supplier – General Position.  Except in situations covered in Section 7.1(c) below (Indirect Tax on SKINPACKS Supplier – Tax Facilitated Sales), it is intended that the Seller (and not SKINPACKS) should generally be treated as the supplier, for relevant Indirect Tax purposes, of Products sold using the SKINPACKS Supplier service, and that the Seller shall be solely responsible for the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of any relevant Indirect Tax (except in limited circumstances where the Buyer may be responsible, for example as outlined in Section 7.1(g) below).

(c)            Indirect Tax on SKINPACKS Supplier – Tax Facilitated Sales.  In certain situations, SKINPACKS may choose to provide facilitated tax collection, reporting and remittance services on behalf of Sellers.  In such situations, subject to the detailed terms on which such services are provided, and depending on the jurisdictions involved, SKINPACKS may be treated as the supplier, for relevant Indirect Tax purposes, and, if so, should generally be responsible for the collection, reporting and remittance of any relevant Indirect Tax (except in limited circumstances where the Buyer may be responsible, for example as outlined in Section 7.1(g) below).

(d)            Indirect Tax on SKINPACKS Discover.  It is intended that SKINPACKS should generally be treated as the supplier, for relevant Indirect Tax purposes, in respect of Products sold through SKINPACKS Discover, and, subject to as provided pursuant to these Terms of Service, should generally be responsible for the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of any relevant Indirect Tax (except in limited circumstances where the Buyer may be responsible, for example as outlined in Section 7.1(g) below). When the treatment of SKINPACKS as a supplier is not a relevant consideration for Indirect Tax purposes, if SKINPACKS determines it is responsible for the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of Indirect Tax in connection with Products sold through SKINPACKS Discover, SKINPACKS will collect and remit the Indirect Tax in addition to the amounts otherwise required under these Terms of Service.

(e)            Indirect Tax on SKINPACKS Fees.  In some circumstances, SKINPACKS Fees may be subject to Indirect Tax.  Where appropriate, SKINPACKS will be responsible for the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of such Indirect Tax, although in some circumstances the Buyer may be responsible (for example if a Buyer is required to account for value added tax or goods and services tax outside the United States under a “reverse charge” mechanism).

(f)             Indirect Tax on Affiliate Fees.  In some circumstances, Affiliate Fees may be subject to Indirect Tax.  Affiliates will be responsible for the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of any such Indirect Tax.

(g)            Indirect Tax for Buyers.  Buyers may in some circumstances be responsible for Indirect Taxes.  For example, in the case of cross-border purchases of Physical Products, the Buyer may be responsible for Indirect Taxes on the import of the Physical Products.  Buyers outside the United States may also, in some circumstances, be required to account for value added tax or goods and services tax under a “reverse charge” mechanism.

(h)            Direct Tax.  It is your personal responsibility to disclose your earnings to your relevant tax authority and you must ensure that you are paying the correct amount of tax.  This is particularly relevant if you are operating as a business.  Please be aware that SKINPACKS may in some circumstances be required to disclose information about you to tax authorities.

7.2           Certain Terms Relating to Tax.

(a)            Amounts Generally Exclusive of Indirect Tax.  Except where expressly stated otherwise, all prices on SKINPACKS Discover, and all amounts payable to SKINPACKS pursuant to this Agreement (or which reduce amounts payable by SKINPACKS), including SKINPACKS Fees, are exclusive of any applicable Indirect Tax, and additional payment shall be made to cover such Indirect Tax, at the same time as the payment to which such Indirect Tax relates.  However, Affiliate Fees and any amounts payable by SKINPACKS pursuant to this Agreement are inclusive of any applicable Indirect Tax, and no additional amounts shall be payable by SKINPACKS in respect of such Indirect Tax.

(b)            Payment of Tax by SKINPACKS.  If SKINPACKS considers that it is liable (including jointly liable) for any Indirect Tax in connection with the sale of a Product (or any other supply) by a Seller, SKINPACKS shall be entitled to deduct an amount equal to such Indirect Tax from any amounts otherwise payable to such Seller and account for such Indirect Tax to the appropriate tax authority and/or to apply such withheld amount in satisfaction of SKINPACKS’s liability in respect of such Indirect Tax.  If SKINPACKS considers that any withholding or deduction on account of tax is required by applicable law to be made from any payment pursuant to this Agreement, it shall be entitled to make such withholding or deduction (and, for the avoidance doubt, shall not be required to increase or gross-up any payment on account of such withholding or deduction).

(c)            Compliance with Tax Law.  When you use the Services (including SKINPACKS Supplier and SKINPACKS Discover) you agree that you will comply with all relevant tax laws and regulations.  In particular, and without limitation, you agree that you will comply with all laws relating to the administration, collection, reporting and remittance of tax, and will ensure that applicable amounts of Indirect Tax are correctly displayed on any Seller Property which you operate.  If you and we are jointly liable for any tax, you agree such tax will be payable by you.

(d)            Reimbursement and Indemnification.  To the extent that SKINPACKS is liable in respect of any Indirect Tax in connection with the sale of a Product (or any other supply) by a Seller, or any other tax properly attributable to a Seller or a Buyer, and an amount equal to such Indirect Tax or other tax has not been deducted from amounts payable to a Seller pursuant to Section 7.2(b), the relevant Seller shall reimburse and indemnify SKINPACKS in respect of such Indirect Tax or other tax.

(e)            Tax Information.  You agree to provide to us, on request, any information and evidence (including official receipts) which SKINPACKS may reasonably request to demonstrate that you have complied with Section 7.2(c), and to allow SKINPACKS to comply with its obligations, including in connection with any request for information which SKINPACKS may receive from any tax authority.

8.              ADDITIONAL PAYMENT TERMS.

8.1           Seller’s Payment of SKINPACKS Fees.  SKINPACKS does not assess or collect “listing” or “insertion” fees, but will charge and collect from Seller a Platform fee and/or a per transaction fee (“SKINPACKS Fee(s)”) for each sale made through SKINPACKS Discover or a Seller Property that uses SKINPACKS Supplier Services. The current SKINPACKS Fees can be viewed in the help article “SKINPACKS’s fees”.  We may change the SKINPACKS Fees from time to time by posting the changes on the Website.  Any new SKINPACKS Fee(s) will apply to transactions only after the changes are posted to the Website.  The SKINPACKS Fee(s) owed for each sale through SKINPACKS Discover or a Seller Property is automatically deducted from the purchase price paid by the Buyer, with the remainder (less any amounts in respect of taxes) settled to Seller.

8.2           Buyer’s Payment for Products.  Buyer is obligated to make payment upon purchase of a Product by providing an eligible payment method at checkout.  Buyer is responsible for all approved charges. SKINPACKS does not assess any fees of Buyers. Upon final purchase, SKINPACKS, through its third-party service providers, will charge the payment method specified by Buyer at checkout.  All purchases made by Buyer are processed by SKINPACKS and its third-party services providers on behalf of Seller to facilitate the settlement of proceeds to Seller (less applicable fees and taxes).

8.3           Third-Party Service Providers.  SKINPACKS currently uses Stripe, Inc. and its affiliates, as well as PayPal, as third-party service providers for payment processing services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) (each, a “Third-Party Service Provider”).  By buying or selling through SKINPACKS Discover or on any other portion of the Service, you (a) agree to be bound by, in the case of Stripe, Stripe’s Privacy Policy (currently accessible at https://stripe.com/us/privacy) and its Stripe Connected Account Agreement (currently accessible at  https://stripe.com/legal/connect-account); and in the case of PayPal, PayPal’s Privacy Statement (currently accessible at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/privacy-full) and its terms of service (currently accessible at https://www.paypal.com/us/webapps/mpp/ua/useragreement-full?locale.x=en_US; (b) agree to provide only true, accurate, current and complete information about you and to update such information as necessary to maintain its truth and accuracy; and (c) and you hereby consent and authorize SKINPACKS, Stripe and PayPal to share any information and payment instructions you provide with one or more Third-Party Service Provider(s) to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.

8.4           Additional Identity Verification.  SKINPACKS reserves the right, but has no obligation, to request additional information from Buyers or Sellers to verify identity in order to safeguard the integrity of the Platform and reduce the risk of fraud, money laundering, terrorist financing, and the violation of trade sanctions.  Information that SKINPACKS may request, or seek to confirm, may include full legal name, mailing address, phone number, date of birth, taxpayer identification number (e.g. Social Security Number), bank account information, and a form of government-issued identification.

8.5           Seller’s Appointment of SKINPACKS as Limited Payments Agent.  By accessing the Platform and Services, each Seller hereby appoints SKINPACKS as its limited payments agent for the limited purpose of receiving, holding and facilitating settlement of payments to Seller for sales of Products through SKINPACKS Discover or a Seller Property, to the extent applicable.  SKINPACKS, through its Third-Party Service Provider(s), will settle payments that are actually or constructively received by SKINPACKS to Seller, less any amounts owed to SKINPACKS, including the SKINPACKS Fees, other fees and obligations and amounts in respect of taxes, as set forth in these Terms of Service.  Seller agrees that a payment actually or constructively received by SKINPACKS on behalf of Seller satisfies Buyer’s obligation to make payment to Seller, regardless of whether SKINPACKS or its Third-Party Service Provider actually settles such payment to Seller.  If SKINPACKS does not settle any such payments as described in this Section 8 (Additional Payment Terms) or otherwise in these Terms of Service, Seller will have recourse against only SKINPACKS (or its Third-Party Service Provider, as applicable) and not Buyer.  In accepting this appointment as Seller’s limited payments agent, SKINPACKS assumes no liability for any acts or omission by Seller, and Seller understands that the obligation of SKINPACKS and its Third-Party Service Provider(s) to settle funds to Seller is subject to and conditioned upon the Buyer’s actual payment and these Terms of Service.

8.6           Seller’s Funds Pending Settlement.  For convenience, Sellers are able to obtain information regarding the proceeds of sales pending settlement through the dashboard made available in Seller’s Account.  This information merely reflects the sales proceeds processed on Seller’s behalf and does not constitute a deposit or other obligation of SKINPACKS or its Third-Party Service Providers to Seller. Funds pending settlement to Seller will be held in an account with SKINPACKS’s Third-Party Service Provider(s) pending disbursement to Seller.  Disbursement of funds to Seller may be delayed as described in Section 8.8 below.  Seller agrees that it (i) is not entitled to any interest or other compensation associated with any funds pending settlement to Seller, (ii) has no right to direct any account holding such funds, and (iii) may not assign any interest in the account(s) held with or through SKINPACKS or its Third-Party Service Providers.  SKINPACKS, through its Third-Party Service Provider(s), facilitates disbursement of funds to Seller to the account associated with the payout information designated by the Seller.  If payment is made to Seller in error, or if Seller receives funds that Seller is not otherwise entitled to receive at the time of disbursement, SKINPACKS has the right to recoup such amounts from the Seller, including without limitation by initiating a debit or charge to any account provided by Seller in connection with the Services.  SKINPACKS may also offset against funds pending settlement to Seller any sums due, or reasonably likely to become due, to SKINPACKS pursuant to these Terms of Service.

8.7           Seller’s Obligations and Restrictions on Seller’s Activities through the Services.  In addition to other terms applicable to Sellers in this Agreement, when you as a Seller use the Services (including SKINPACKS Discover, or SKINPACKS Supplier), you acknowledge and agree that:

(a)            You will not, or attempt to, promote, distribute or deliver Products through the Services in any manner that: (i) violates, or may violate, the rules or policies of Card Networks or our Third-Party Service Providers; (ii) is listed as Prohibited Products and Activities on the Website; (iii) constitutes illegal activity or is illegal; (iv) promotes or encourages discrimination based upon race, sex, religion, nationality, disability, sexual orientation or age; (v) targets, or intends to distribute to, children under the age of thirteen (13) years old; (vi) or is abusive towards other people.

(b)            You will use best efforts to ensure that all communications, representations and warranties you make in connection with your Products will: (i) be accurate and contain all disclosures and disclaimers necessary to prevent such communications and/or representations from being false, deceptive, or misleading; and (ii) otherwise comply with all applicable laws, regulations, advisories, and policies related to consumer protection.

(c)            You agree to provide public-facing contact information, refund policy, and order fulfillment timelines for all Products. You will use best efforts to ship a Physical Product sold to a Buyer no later than seven (7) calendar days from the date of the Buyer’s purchase as described in Section 6.4 (Purchasing Products).

(d)            You will not require or suggest that a Buyer agree to any terms that reduce or limit Section 6.6 (Refund Policy) or otherwise impinge or interfere with SKINPACKS’s rights under these Terms of Service or any other agreement.

(e)            You will promptly: (i) respond to inquiries from SKINPACKS; (ii) notify SKINPACKS of any regulatory or legal complaints, or threats of such complaints, that you receive in connection with or in relation to a Product; and (iii) assist SKINPACKS, at your sole cost and expense, in taking any appropriate or necessary actions reasonably requested by SKINPACKS to respond to such inquiries and resolve such complaints.

(f)             You will comply with all applicable laws, regulations, court orders, third party rights, applicable industry requirements (including, but not limited to, any and all applicable provisions of the Visa International Operating Regulations, MasterCard Merchant Rules, and PCI compliance standards), and any SKINPACKS policy or standard that may be issued from time to time.

(g)            In the event you promote or deliver any Products that contain personal information of any other individual, you must have provided any such notice to data subjects that may be required under applicable law and, to the extent required under applicable law, established a legal basis for your use of such personal data.

(h)            If you send emails, directly or indirectly, in connection with any Product, then you agree, acknowledge, represent and warrant that all such emails, and procurement of email addresses thereto, shall be in compliance with all applicable federal, state, and international laws and regulations regarding the use of electronic messages, including without limitation the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act and the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act.

(i)             If you send, initiate or procure a “call” (as that term is defined by the Telephone Consumer Protection Act), directly or indirectly, in connection with any Product, you agree, acknowledge, represent and warrant that you have obtained all necessary consents and authorizations under, and will be in full compliance with, applicable laws and regulations, including without limitation regulations issued by the Federal Trade Commission, Federal Communications Commission, and state laws related to anti-spam, text messages and Do-Not-Call Registries.

8.8           Suspension of Seller’s Account.

(a)            SKINPACKS, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate Seller’s Account(s), or retain any or all funds pending settlement to Seller, if SKINPACKS suspects or has reason to believe and/or if a person otherwise claims that Seller has violated the law or breached any term of this Agreement.  In addition to the foregoing, and all other rights and remedies available to SKINPACKS at law or in equity and notwithstanding anything in the Agreement to the contrary, in the event Seller breaches any term of this Agreement, or Seller’s Account becomes dormant and/or has a negative balance, SKINPACKS will have the right to immediately suspend or terminate Seller’s Account and Seller’s rights to access, use and/or otherwise participate in the Platform.  Upon such termination, Seller agrees to immediately cease all use of the Services.  Without limiting the foregoing, SKINPACKS shall have the right to immediately terminate Seller’s access and use of the Platform, or any portion thereof, in the event of any conduct that SKINPACKS, in its sole discretion, considers unacceptable.  Following suspension or termination of Seller’s Account or retaining of funds pursuant to this Section, SKINPACKS will review Seller’s Account in a manner determined by SKINPACKS in its sole discretion.  Seller agrees to cooperate with this review if asked.  If the review concludes that there is a reasonable basis to believe misconduct has occurred, Seller agrees that SKINPACKS may retain funds in Seller’s Account as liquidated damages and/or for the benefit of SKINPACKS or third parties affected by the misconduct.  Seller acknowledges and agrees that such liquidated damages: (i) are not a penalty, and (ii) are reasonable and not disproportionate to such presumed damages to SKINPACKS.

(b)            SKINPACKS may temporarily withhold any portion of funds pending settlement to Seller (as reflected in the Seller’s Account) if SKINPACKS, in its sole discretion, determines such action is necessary to secure payment for, performance of, and/or assurances regarding any liabilities, obligations, or indebtedness Seller may have incurred with SKINPACKS or any Buyer.  If Seller experiences a refund rate in excess of 15%, Seller hereby authorizes us to hold in reserve an amount equal to 25% of Seller’s funds pending settlement for 90 days on a rolling basis to offset the potential cost of future refunds.  If Seller experiences a refund rate in excess of 25%, Seller’s Account may be suspended, terminated, or otherwise subject to additional conditions or fees.

19.           PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT.  It is SKINPACKS’s policy to terminate membership privileges of any Registered User who repeatedly infringes copyright upon prompt notification to SKINPACKS by the copyright owner or the copyright owner’s legal agent.  Without limiting the foregoing, if you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the following information: (a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (b) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (c) a description of the location on the Services of the material that you claim is infringing; (d) your address, telephone number and e-mail address; (e) a written statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.  Contact information for SKINPACKS’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement is as follows: [Include name or title, and physical address of Copyright Agent].

20.           TERM AND TERMINATION.

20.1        Term.  The Agreement commences on the date when you accept them (as described in the preamble above) and remain in full force and effect while you use the Services, unless terminated earlier in accordance with the Agreement.

20.2        Prior Use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you hereby acknowledge and agree that the Agreement commenced on the earlier to occur of (a) the date you first used the Services or (b) the date you accepted the Agreement, and that the Agreement will remain in full force and effect while you use any the Services, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the Agreement.

20.3        No Subsequent Registration.  If your registration(s) with, or ability to access, the Services or any other SKINPACKS community, is discontinued by SKINPACKS due to your violation of any portion of the Agreement or for conduct otherwise inappropriate for the community, then you agree that you shall not attempt to re-register with or access the Services or any SKINPACKS community through use of a different member name or otherwise, and you acknowledge that you will not be entitled to receive a refund for fees related to those the Services to which your access has been terminated.  In the event that you violate the immediately preceding sentence, SKINPACKS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately take any or all of the actions set forth herein without any notice or warning to you.

20.4        Suspension of Services.  SKINPACKS may decline, remove or halt sales of any Product, suspend or terminate an Account, and/or suspend or terminate the Services at any time, in its sole discretion, without cause or notice to you or any penalty or liability for doing so.

21.           TERRITORIAL RESTRICTIONS.  The Services can be accessed from countries around the world and may contain references to Services and Content that are not available in your country.  These references do not imply that SKINPACKS intends to announce such Services or Content in your country.  The Services are controlled and offered by SKINPACKS from its facilities in the United States of America.  SKINPACKS makes no representations that the Services are appropriate or available for use in other locations.  Those who access or use the Services from other countries do so at their own volition and are responsible for compliance with local law.

22.           ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.  Please read the following arbitration agreement in this section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires Registered to arbitrate disputes with SKINPACKS and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.  For the avoidance of doubt, this Arbitration Agreement does not govern disputes between you and another user.

22.1        Applicability of Arbitration Agreement.  Subject to the terms of this Arbitration Agreement, you and SKINPACKS agree that any dispute, claim, disagreements arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed by other users through the Services, or this Agreement, including claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of the Agreement (each, a “Dispute”) will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that: (1) you and SKINPACKS may assert claims or seek relief in small claims court if such claims qualify and remain in small claims court; and (2) you or SKINPACKS may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  For purposes of this Arbitration Agreement, “Dispute” will also include disputes that arose or involve facts occurring before the existence of this or any prior versions of the Agreement as well as claims that may arise after the termination of the Agreement.  This Arbitration Agreement does not apply to disputes between you and third parties.

22.2        Informal Dispute Resolution.  There might be instances when a Dispute arises between you and SKINPACKS.  If that occurs, SKINPACKS is committed to working with you to reach a reasonable resolution.  You and SKINPACKS agree that good faith informal efforts to resolve Disputes can result in a prompt, low‐cost and mutually beneficial outcome.  You and SKINPACKS therefore agree that before either party commences arbitration against the other (or initiates an action in small claims court if a party so elects), we will personally meet and confer telephonically or via videoconference, in a good faith effort to resolve informally any Dispute covered by this Arbitration Agreement (“Informal Dispute Resolution Conference”).  If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the conference, but you will also participate in the conference.

The party initiating a Dispute must give notice to the other party in writing of its intent to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference (“Notice”), which shall occur within 45 days after the other party receives such Notice, unless an extension is mutually agreed upon by the parties.  Notice to SKINPACKS that you intend to initiate an Informal Dispute Resolution Conference should be sent by email to [email protected] or regular mail to our offices located at 548 Market St, PMB 41309, San Francisco, California 94104-5401 US.  The Notice must include: (1) your name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address associated with your account (if you have one); (2) the name, telephone number, mailing address and e‐mail address of your counsel, if any; and (3) a description of your Dispute.

The Informal Dispute Resolution Conference shall be individualized such that a separate conference must be held each time either party initiates a Dispute, even if the same law firm or group of law firms represents multiple users in similar cases, unless all parties agree; multiple individuals initiating a Dispute cannot participate in the same Informal Dispute Resolution Conference unless all parties agree.  In the time between a party receiving the Notice and the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s Dispute.  Engaging in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference is a condition precedent and requirement that must be fulfilled before commencing arbitration.  The statute of limitations and any filing fee deadlines shall be tolled while the parties engage in the Informal Dispute Resolution Conference process required by this section.

22.3        Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND SKINPACKS HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and SKINPACKS are instead electing that all Disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in the subsection entitled “Applicability of Arbitration Agreement” above.  There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.

22.4        Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief.  YOU AND SKINPACKS AGREE THAT, EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN SUBSECTION 22.9, EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, REPRESENTATIVE, OR COLLECTIVE BASIS, AND THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO HAVE ANY DISPUTE BE BROUGHT, HEARD, ADMINISTERED, RESOLVED, OR ARBITRATED ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR MASS ACTION BASIS.  ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND DISPUTES OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  Subject to this Arbitration Agreement, 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 the party’s individual claim.  Nothing in this paragraph is intended to, nor shall it, affect the terms and conditions under the Section 22.9 entitled “Batch Arbitration.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Arbitration Agreement, if a court decides by means of a final decision, not subject to any further appeal or recourse, that the limitations of this subsection, “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief,” are invalid or unenforceable as to a particular claim or request for relief (such as a request for public injunctive relief), you and SKINPACKS agree that that particular claim or request for relief (and only that particular claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be litigated in the state or federal courts located in the State of California.  All other Disputes shall be arbitrated or litigated in small claims court.  This subsection does not prevent you or SKINPACKS from participating in a class-wide settlement of claims.

22.5        Rules and Forum.  The Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce; and notwithstanding any other provision herein with respect to the applicable substantive law, the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement and any arbitration proceedings.  If the Informal Dispute Resolution Process described above does not resolve satisfactorily within sixty (60) days after receipt of your Notice, you and SKINPACKS agree that either party shall have the right to finally resolve the Dispute through binding arbitration.  The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with the Consumer Arbitration Rules (the “AAA Rules”) then in effect, except as modified by this section of this Arbitration Agreement.  The AAA Rules are currently available at https://www.adr.org/sites/default/files/Consumer%20Rules.pdf.

A party who wishes to initiate arbitration must provide the other party with a request for arbitration (the “Request”).  The Request must include: (1) the name, telephone number, mailing address, e‐mail address of the party seeking arbitration and the account username (if applicable) as well as the email address associated with any applicable account; (2) a statement of the legal claims being asserted and the factual bases of those claims; (3) a description of the remedy sought and an accurate, good‐faith calculation of the amount in controversy in United States Dollars; (4) a statement certifying completion of the Informal Dispute Resolution process as described above; and (5) evidence that the requesting party has paid any necessary filing fees in connection with such arbitration.

If the party requesting arbitration is represented by counsel, the Request shall also include counsel’s name, telephone number, mailing address, and email address.  Such counsel must also sign the Request.  By signing the Request, counsel certifies to the best of counsel’s knowledge, information, and belief, formed after an inquiry reasonable under the circumstances, that: (1) the Request is not being presented for any improper purpose, such as to harass, cause unnecessary delay, or needlessly increase the cost of dispute resolution; (2) the claims, defenses and other legal contentions are warranted by existing law or by a nonfrivolous argument for extending, modifying, or reversing existing law or for establishing new law; and (3) the factual and damages contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery.

Unless you and SKINPACKS otherwise agree, or the Batch Arbitration process discussed in subsection 22.9 is triggered, the arbitration will be conducted in the county where you reside.  Subject to the AAA Rules, the arbitrator may direct a limited and reasonable exchange of information between the parties, consistent with the expedited nature of the arbitration.  If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  Your responsibility to pay any AAA fees and costs will be solely as set forth in the applicable AAA Rules.

You and SKINPACKS agree that all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings shall be kept confidential and shall not be shared with anyone except the parties’ attorneys, accountants, or business advisors, and then subject to the condition that they agree to keep all materials and documents exchanged during the arbitration proceedings confidential.

22.6                  Arbitrator.  The arbitrator will be either a retired judge or an attorney licensed to practice law in the state of California and will be selected by the parties from the AAA’s roster of consumer dispute arbitrators.  If the parties are unable to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty-five (35) days of delivery of the Request, then the AAA will appoint the arbitrator in accordance with the AAA Rules, provided that if the Batch Arbitration process under subsection 22.9 is triggered, the AAA will appoint the arbitrator for each batch.

22.7                 Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any Dispute, including, without limitation, disputes arising out of or related to the interpretation or application of the Arbitration Agreement, including the enforceability, revocability, scope, or validity of the Arbitration Agreement or any portion of the Arbitration Agreement, except for the following: (1) all Disputes arising out of or relating to the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief,” including any claim that all or part of the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” is unenforceable, illegal, void or voidable, or that such subsection entitled “Waiver of Class and Other Non-Individualized Relief” has been breached, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (2) except as expressly contemplated in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration,” all Disputes about the payment of arbitration fees shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; (3) all Disputes about whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator; and (4) all Disputes about which version of the Arbitration Agreement applies shall be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties, except as expressly provided in the subsection entitled “Batch Arbitration.” The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Dispute.  The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.  Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

22.8                 Attorneys’ Fees and Costs.  The parties shall bear their own attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator finds that either the substance of the Dispute or the relief sought in the Request was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)).  If you or SKINPACKS need to invoke the authority of a court of competent jurisdiction to compel arbitration, then the party that obtains an order compelling arbitration in such action shall have the right to collect from the other party its reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in securing an order compelling arbitration.  The prevailing party in any court action relating to whether either party has satisfied any condition precedent to arbitration, including the Informal Dispute Resolution Process, is entitled to recover their reasonable costs, necessary disbursements, and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.

22.9                 Batch Arbitration.  To increase the efficiency of administration and resolution of arbitrations, you and SKINPACKS agree that in the event that there are one hundred (100) or more individual Requests of a substantially similar nature filed against SKINPACKS by or with the assistance of the same law firm, group of law firms, or organizations, within a thirty (30) day period (or as soon as possible thereafter), the AAA shall (1) administer the arbitration demands in batches of 100 Requests per batch (plus, to the extent there are less than 100 Requests left over after the batching described above, a final batch consisting of the remaining Requests); (2) appoint one arbitrator for each batch; and (3) provide for the resolution of each batch as a single consolidated arbitration with one set of filing and administrative fees due per side per batch, one procedural calendar, one hearing (if any) in a place to be determined by the arbitrator, and one final award (“Batch Arbitration”).

All parties agree that Requests are of a “substantially similar nature” if they arise out of or relate to the same event or factual scenario and raise the same or similar legal issues and seek the same or similar relief.  To the extent the parties disagree on the application of the Batch Arbitration process, the disagreeing party shall advise the AAA, and the AAA shall appoint a sole standing arbitrator to determine the applicability of the Batch Arbitration process (“Administrative Arbitrator”).  In an effort to expedite resolution of any such dispute by the Administrative Arbitrator, the parties agree the Administrative Arbitrator may set forth such procedures as are necessary to resolve any disputes promptly.  The Administrative Arbitrator’s fees shall be paid by SKINPACKS.

You and SKINPACKS agree to cooperate in good faith with the AAA to implement the Batch Arbitration process including the payment of single filing and administrative fees for batches of Requests, as well as any steps to minimize the time and costs of arbitration, which may include: (1) the appointment of a discovery special master to assist the arbitrator in the resolution of discovery disputes; and (2) the adoption of an expedited calendar of the arbitration proceedings.

This Batch Arbitration provision shall in no way be interpreted as authorizing a class, collective and/or mass arbitration or action of any kind, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims under any circumstances, except as expressly set forth in this provision.

22.10               30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: [insert address], within thirty (30) days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.  If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of the Agreement will continue to apply to you.  Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.

22.11               Invalidity, Expiration.  Except as provided in the subsection entitled “Waiver of Class or Other Non-Individualized Relief”, if any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.  You further agree that any Dispute that you have with SKINPACKS as detailed in this Arbitration Agreement must be initiated via arbitration within the applicable statute of limitation for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred.  Likewise, you agree that all applicable statutes of limitation will apply to such arbitration in the same manner as those statutes of limitation would apply in the applicable court of competent jurisdiction.

22.12               Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if SKINPACKS makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will notify you.  Unless you reject the change within thirty (30) days of such change become effective by writing to SKINPACKS at [insert address], your continued use of the Services, including the acceptance of products and services offered through the Services following the posting of changes to this Arbitration Agreement constitutes your acceptance of any such changes.  Changes to this Arbitration Agreement do not provide you with a new opportunity to opt out of the Arbitration Agreement if you have previously agreed to a version of the Agreement and did not validly opt out of arbitration.  If you reject any change or update to this Arbitration Agreement, and you were bound by an existing agreement to arbitrate Disputes arising out of or relating in any way to your access to or use of the Services, any communications you receive, any products sold or distributed through the Services, or the Agreement, the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement as of the date you first accepted the Agreement (or accepted any subsequent changes to the Agreement) remain in full force and effect.  SKINPACKS will continue to honor any valid opt outs of the Arbitration Agreement that you made to a prior version of the Agreement.

COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE VERSION 1.0

THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE (“AGREEMENT”). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT’S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.

1. DEFINITIONS

“Contribution” means:

a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and
b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:

i) changes to the Program, and

ii) additions to the Program;

where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution ‘originates’ from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor’s behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.

“Contributor” means any person or entity that distributes the Program.

“Licensed Patents ” mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.

“Program” means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.

“Recipient” means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.

1. GRANT OF RIGHTS

a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.

b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.

c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient’s responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.

d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.

1. REQUIREMENTS

A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:

a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and

b) its license agreement:

i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;

ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;

iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and

iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.

When the Program is made available in source code form:

a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and

b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.

Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.

Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.

1. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION

Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor (“Commercial Contributor”) hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor (“Indemnified Contributor”) against any losses, damages and costs (collectively “Losses”) arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.

For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor’s responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.

1. NO WARRANTY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.

1. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

1. GENERAL

If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.

If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient’s patent(s), then such Recipient’s rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.

All Recipient’s rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient’s rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid incoSKINPACKStency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number. The Program (including Contributions) may always be distributed subject to the version of the Agreement under which it was received. In addition, after a new version of the Agreement is published, Contributor may elect to distribute the Program (including its Contributions) under the new version. Except as expressly stated in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, Recipient receives no rights or licenses to the intellectual property of any Contributor under this Agreement, whether expressly, by implication, estoppel or otherwise. All rights in the Program not expressly granted under this Agreement are reserved.

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of New York and the intellectual property laws of the United States of America. No party to this Agreement will bring a legal action under this Agreement more than one year after the cause of action arose. Each party waives its rights to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.
