You are solely responsible for the integrity and quality of your Customer Content, and for maintaining an appropriate backup thereof. Vivid Labs is not responsible for loss of data. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, VID NFTs may be stored upon creation by using a third party provider that offers decentralized storage (e.g., Filecoin) or cloud storage (e.g., Google Cloud), and we have no obligation thereafter to maintain, monitor, or service such storage.

I. Third Party Sites and Integrations.
The Network may be embedded in or contain links to third party websites that are not owned or controlled by Vivid Labs (“Third Party Sites”). Vivid Labs has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any Third Party Sites. In addition, Vivid Labs will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any Third Party Site. By using the Vivid Network, you expressly relieve Vivid Labs from any and all liability arising from your use of any Third Party Site.
The Vivid Platform may contain links to, or otherwise allow Users to integrate with and/or connect to and/or use certain third party products, services or software (including, without limitation, data products and services), which are subject to separate terms and conditions (collectively, “Third Party Integrations”). For example, Third Party Integrations are required for:

If you decide to access and use such Third Party Integrations, such use is governed solely by the terms and conditions of such Third Party Integrations, and Vivid Labs does not endorse, is not responsible for, and makes no representations as to such Third Party Integrations, their content or the manner in which they handle Users' data, the VID NFTs, Customer Content, and the NFT Packages. If you do not agree to the applicable terms and conditions of the Third Party Integrations, you may not access or use the Third Party Integrations. Vivid Labs is not liable for any damage or loss caused or alleged to be caused by or in connection with your access or use of any such Third Party Integrations, or your reliance on the privacy practices or other policies of such Third Party Integrations. VIVID LABS DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ADVERTISED OR OFFERED THROUGH, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THIRD PARTY INTEGRATIONS, OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR SERVICE, AND VIVID LABS WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO, OR IN ANY WAY MONITOR, ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN CUSTOMER AND THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS OF SUCH THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS OR SERVICES AND/OR THIRD PARTY INTEGRATIONS.
J. Fees.
(i) You agree to pay the applicable fees, as referenced below (“Fees”) with respect to your use of the Vivid Platform. All Fees are quoted in the United States currency. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Fees are non-cancellable and once paid are non-refundable. In addition to such Fees, User shall pay all applicable sales, use and other taxes or duties (excluding taxes based on Vivid Labs’ income). Any past due payment not received in a timely manner shall accrue interest (except with respect to charges then under reasonable and good faith dispute), at the lower of 1.0% of the outstanding balance per month (being 12% per annum), or the maximum rate permitted by law, from the date such payment is due until the date paid. You agree to pay all sums expended (including reasonable legal fees) in collecting overdue payments. If you believe that any Fees charged are incorrect, User must contact Vivid Labs in writing within thirty (30) days of the invoice date of the invoice containing the amount in question to be eligible to receive an adjustment or credit.

The Fee schedule applicable to you may be set forth in your ordering documentation or may be viewable through the App or browser that you use to access the Network. Vivid Labs reserves the right to change the stated fees or update its fee structure at any time in its discretion.
K. NFT minting and ownership for Vivid Pro Users
Vivid Pro Users are responsible for effecting all sales and transfers of their VID NFTs through transactions on the blockchain. We may, but have no obligation to, provide functionalities via the Services whereby you can transfer items, including Company NFTs, from one wallet to another or transfers and other transactions between the Services and external non-Custodial wallets may be facilitated by one or more smart contracts, some or all of which we have not developed and do not control. You acknowledge the risk of smart contracts and agree to be bound by the outcome of any smart contract operation that you initiate or that is initiated at your direction. We accept no liability or responsibility for any such transfer or other similar transaction, including for any loss, data corruption, or other negative impact that may occur to your NFTs or wallets.
Nothing in this Agreement or in the functionality of the App grants ownership, intellectual property rights or proprietary rights in the VID NFTs to NFT Owners. All rights of a NFT Owner in and to the associated Video Asset shall be as set forth in a valid and binding license or other agreement between you and the NFT Owner ("NFT License") that shall remain in force during the period beginning on the date of such acquisition through the date that the applicable VID NFT is legally transferred or otherwise terminates for any reason. Each NFT License shall include, and shall not include any terms that conflict with, the following:
• A requirement that the NFT Owner must be at least 18 years of age, legally competent, and within the Territory.
• A clear, factual description of the NFT offering terms, including an acknowledgment that each NFT is intended for consumer enjoyment, use, and consumption only, and is not offered as an opportunity to gain an economic benefit or profit, or as an investment, equity, or any other ownership or profit-sharing interest in any entity.
• The NFT Owner’s agreement that the NFT Owner assumes all inherent risks of NFTs and blockchain technology, and that Vivid Labs shall not be liable to any NFT Owner or any other third-party for any loss, claims or damages that may arise as a result of any use of the VID blockchain or any other blockchain or payments or transactions the NFT Owner engages in, including but not limited to (a) any failure, malfunction, or cessation of the blockchain or any other blockchain or any unintended function or unexpected functioning that may cause VID NFTs to malfunction or function in an unexpected or unintended manner, including without limitation inability to access Video Packages; (b) any bugs or vulnerabilities in the smart contracts or their functioning, (c) loss of the NFT Owner’s private keys to its digital wallet or vault, or any misappropriation or unauthorized access to such party’s VID NFTs, or (d) the discontinuance of the Network, the Service, or the App by Vivid Labs, for any reason.
• The NFT Owner’s agreement that they are purchasing the Company NFTs, for purposes of acquiring digital collectibles and not for any investment or speculative purposes. Any economic benefit that may be derived from appreciation in the value of the Company NFT is incidental to obtaining it for its collectible purpose.
• As a result of the open-source nature of public blockchains, it is possible that there may be a fork, merge, or duplication of the underlying blockchain that has recorded ownership of your VID NFT. In such case, any rights granted to NFT Owner will only be granted to the lawful owners of such VID NFT whose ownership is recorded on the mainnet version of the blockchain that is generally recognized and predominantly supported in the blockchain industry as the legitimate successor of the original blockchain, in each case as may be determined by us in our sole discretion.
5. Restriction on use

6. Proprietary rights
A. Vivid Labs Intellectual Property. As between you and Vivid Labs, Vivid Labs (and its licensors) own all patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret and other intellectual property rights in the API Materials and the Vivid Platform, and the underlying software and technology used to provide the Vivid Platform App. Vivid Labs reserves all rights in and to the API Materials and Vivid Platform not granted expressly in these Terms of Service.

For purposes of these Terms of Service, "Confidential Information" shall include each party’s proprietary technology, business processes and technical information, product plans and designs, all communication between the parties regarding the Vivid Platform, and other information, whether disclosed orally or in writing, that is designated as confidential or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure. However, Confidential Information does not include information which (1) is known publicly; (2) is generally known in the industry before disclosure; (3) has become known publicly, without fault of the receiving party, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; (4) the receiving party becomes aware of from a third party not bound by non-disclosure obligations to the disclosing party and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the receiving party; or (5) if disclosed by Vivid Labs, aggregates statistical data regarding Vivid Labs products and services that does not contain any personally identifiable or user-specific information.

Each party agrees: (a) to keep confidential all Confidential Information; (b) not to use or disclose Confidential Information except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations or exercise rights under Terms of Service or as directed by the disclosing party; (c) to protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information) and to make Confidential Information available to authorized persons only on a “need to know” basis. Either party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its contractors and service providers who have executed written agreements requiring them to maintain such information in strict confidence and use it only to facilitate the performance of their services in connection with the performance of these Terms of Service. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is permitted by law or order of a court or other governmental authority or regulation.
D. Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), applies to online service providers, such as Vivid Labs. Compliance with the DMCA may result in Vivid Labs being asked to remove content that allegedly violates someone’s copyright. While the DMCA itself only applies to copyrights, Vivid Labs also extends its DMCA policy below to allegations of trademark infringement. As an online service provider under the DMCA, Vivid Labs respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask you to do the same. Vivid Labs may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate service and/or access to the Network and/or the App for users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that there is content that appears on our Network which infringes a copyright or trademark, please provide Vivid Labs’ designated agent the following information:
• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted or trademarked work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled on our Network and/or App, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Vivid Labs to locate the material;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Vivid Labs to contact you as the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright and/or trademark owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Vivid Labs’s designated agent for notice of claims of copyright or trademark infringement on the Network can be reached as follows:

7. Warranty disclaimers
YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT VIVID LABS AND ITS LICENSORS PROVIDE THE API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, THE SERVICES, AND THE APP ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITH ALL FAULTS AND WITHOUT GUARANTEED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, AND VIVID LABS HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, THE SERVICES, AND THE APP, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO: (A) THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS; AND (B) ANY WARRANTY ARISING OUT OF COURSE OF DEALING, USAGE, OR TRADE. VIVID LABS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, ANY SERVICES, OR THE APP WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR FREE OF ERRORS OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT ANY OF THOSE ISSUES WILL BE CORRECTED. VIVID LABS DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, ANY SERVICES, AND/OR THE APP COMPLIES WITH ALL APPLICABLE LAWS OR REGULATIONS IN ANY PARTICULAR JURISDICTION. TO THE EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, YOU ASSUME ALL RISK FOR ANY DAMAGE THAT MAY RESULT FROM YOUR USE OF THE API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, ANY SERVICES, AND/OR THE APP.
WE CANNOT AND DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT THE VID NFTS AND NFT PACKAGES ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS. YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE VID NFTS AND NFT PACKAGES. VIVID LABS WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY LOSS OR MALFUNCTION OF VID NFTS AND NFT PACKAGE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY LOSSES, DAMAGES OR CLAIMS ARISING FROM: (A) END USER ERROR SUCH AS FORGOTTEN PASSWORDS, INCORRECTLY CONSTRUCTED TRANSACTIONS, OR MISTYPED ADDRESSES; (B) SERVER FAILURE OR DATA LOSS; (C) CORRUPTED CRYPTO-WALLET FILES; (D) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS TO APPLICATIONS; OR (E) ANY UNAUTHORIZED THIRD PARTY ACTIVITIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE USE OF VIRUSES, PHISHING, BRUTE-FORCING OR OTHER MEANS OF ATTACK AGAINST THE NETWORK, THE APP, THE VID BLOCKCHAIN OR ANY THIRD PARTY SERVICES.
8. Limitation of liability
A. EXCEPT WHERE PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL VIVID LABS, ITS RELATED ENTITIES, ITS SERVICE PROVIDERS, LICENSORS, AND ITS OR THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES OR AGENTS (COLLECTIVELY THE “VIVID LABS PARTIES”) BE LIABLE FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE OR YOUR USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE API MATERIALS, THE NETWORK, THE SERVICES, AND/OR THE APP, HOWEVER CAUSED, REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY (CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF VIVID LABS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR PERSONAL INJURY, OR OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THIS LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. You agree that the aggregate liability of the Vivid Labs Parties to you for all claims arising out of or related to these Terms of Service or your use or inability to use the API Materials, the Network, any Services, the App, or any combination thereof, shall not at any time during the Period exceed in the aggregate the greater of (i) One Hundred Dollars ($100) or (ii) the amount of Fees paid by you to Vivid Labs in the 12 month period preceding the first occurrence of events giving rise to the imposition of lability for any such claims, except as may be required by applicable law. This Section and all limitations will apply even if the above stated remedy fails of its essential purpose or if the other party knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages. Each provision of these Terms of Service that provides for a limitation of liability, disclaimer of warranties, or exclusion of damages is to allocate the risks under these Terms of Service between the parties. This allocation is an essential element of the basis of the bargain between the parties and shall survive any termination or expiration of these Terms of Service.
You acknowledge that you may have or may in the future have claims against us which you do not know or suspect to exist in your favor when you agreed to these Terms of Service and which if known, might materially affect your consent to these Terms of Service. You expressly waive all rights you may have under Section 1532 of the California Civil Code, which states:
A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN ITS FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.
IIF THIS CLAUSE IS HELD TO BE UNENFORCEABLE IN WHOLE OR IN PART IN ANY JURISDICTION DUE TO RELEVANT LAWS, THEN IN NO EVENT SHALL OUR OR THE RELEASEES’ TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID US OR THE RELEASEES DURING THE SIX (6) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE INCIDENT. TO THE EXTENT REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NOTHING IN THIS CLAUSE SHALL LIMIT OR EXCLUDE ANY LIABILITY FOR DEATH OR PERSONAL INJURY RESULTING FROM NEGLIGENCE.
B. Blockchain Technology. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSSES DUE TO BLOCKCHAINS OR ANY OTHER FEATURES OF THE NETWORK, THE VID NETWORK, OR ANY ELECTRONIC WALLET, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE FAILURE, SHUT DOWN, OR LATE REPORT OF ANY ISSUES WITH THE BLOCKCHAINS SUPPORTING THE NETWORK, THE VID NFTS, AND THE NFT PACKAGES, INCLUDING FORKS, TECHNICAL NODE ISSUES, OR ANY OTHER ISSUES RESULTING IN LOSSES INCLUDING LOSS OF NFTS AND FUNDS. By using the Vivid Platform or any part thereof, you understand and acknowledge that the regulatory regimes in areas pertaining to blockchain-based services, cryptocurrencies and crypto-assets could be subject to change and new regulations or policies are likely to rapidly evolve. New or changing regulations or interpretation of existing laws and regulations may materially adversely affect the quality, transferability, viability, and/or value of the VID NFTs and the NFT Packages in the future. The Vivid Labs Parties will not be held responsible for any losses you may incur as a result of such potential changes and the consequences related to the VID NFTs, the NFT Packages, and/or their potential utility and value.
C. Token Security: Hackers or other malicious groups or organizations may attempt to interfere with the Network, the VID NFTs, and other technology used by the App in a variety of ways, including, but not limited to, malware attacks, denial of service attacks, consensus-based attacks, Sybil attacks, smurfing and spoofing. Furthermore, because the Ethereum platform rests on open source software and the VID NFTs are based on open source software, there is the risk that Ethereum smart contracts may contain intentional or unintentional bugs or weaknesses which may negatively affect the VID NFTs or result in the loss of VID NFTs, the loss of an NFT Owner’s ability to access or control NFT Owner’s VID NFTs or the loss of ETH in NFT Owner’s account. In the event of such a software bug or weakness, there may be no remedy and Company shall not be obligated to provide any remedy, refund or compensation to you or your customers.
D. No Third-Party Beneficiaries.

12. Privacy

13. Publicity
Each party agrees not to issue any press release, publicity or other public statements regarding your use of the Vivid Platform, without the other party’s prior written consent, except that Vivid Labs shall have the rights to use your name and logo on VividLabs’s website, and in sales collateral and press listings. All other marketing uses shall be subject to your prior written consent.
14. Controlling law and severability
These Terms of Service will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, excluding its conflict of law principles. These Terms of Service will not be governed by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any portion of these Terms of Service to be unenforceable, such excluded term shall be replaced with a valid provision that most closely approximates the parties’ intent, and the remainder of these Terms of Service will continue in full force and effect.
15. Arbitration
A. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Vivid Labs in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Vivid Labs agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms of Service will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award, and your liability is nevertheless limited as set forth in these Terms of Service. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms of Service, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms of Service. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOU AND VIVID LABS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
B. Exceptions. Despite the provisions of this Section 15, nothing in these Terms of Service will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) bring an individual action in small claims court; (b) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (c) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (d) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
C. Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and Vivid Labs will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Service, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by contacting Vivid Labs.
D. Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if such other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice”). Vivid Labs’ address for Notice is: Vivid Labs Holdings, Inc., 809 Laurel Street #1346, San Carlos, California, USA 94070. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Vivid Labs may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or Vivid Labs must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the dispute is finally resolved through arbitration in your favor, Vivid Labs will pay you the highest of the following: (i) the amount awarded by the arbitrator, if any; (ii) the last written settlement amount offered by Vivid Labs in settlement of the dispute prior to the arbitrator’s award; or (iii) $1,000.
E. Fees. If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms of Service, Vivid Labs will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than $10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in San Mateo County, California, USA, but if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your billing address. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse Vivid Labs for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
F. No Class Actions. YOU AND VIVID LABS 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. Further, unless both you and Vivid Labs agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
G. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If Vivid Labs makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to Vivid Labs’s address for Notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to Vivid Labs’s address for Notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive, and Vivid Labs may refuse to provide the Vivid Network and any further Services or products to you.
H. Enforceability. If Section 15.F. is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section 15 is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section 15 will be null and void and, in that case, the parties agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 14 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Service.
16. Consent to electronic communications
By opening an Account, you consent to receiving certain electronic communications from us as further described in our Privacy Notice. Please read our Privacy Notice to learn more about your choices regarding our electronic communications practices. You agree that any notices, agreements, disclosures, or other communications that we send to you electronically to the email you provide in your Account will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including that such communications be in writing.
17. General
These Terms of Service, together with the Privacy Notice and any other agreements expressly incorporated by reference into these Terms of Service, are the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between you and Vivid Labs regarding your use of the Vivid Network and Services. These Terms of Service may be amended only by a written agreement signed by authorized representatives of the parties to these Terms of Service. You may not assign or transfer these Terms of Service or your rights under these Terms of Service, in whole or in part, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent, and any such assignment or transfer without our consent will be void; provided, however, that Vivid Labs may assign these Terms of Service in whole to any successor company or an acquiror of substantially all of its business. We may assign these Terms of Service at any time without notice or consent. Use of section headers in these Terms of Service is for convenience only and will not have any impact on the interpretation of any provision.
