For example, please be aware that certain areas on the Site may contain content for which you must be greater than the Site Minimum Age to access and view. If you are not yet the Site Minimum Age or the required greater age for certain features, do not meet the Site Residency Requirements and/or do not meet any other eligibility requirements, or, if for any reason, you do not agree with all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, please discontinue using the Site immediately because by using or attempting to use the Site, you certify that you are at least the Site Minimum Age or other required greater age for certain features, meet the Site Residency Requirements, meet any other eligibility and residency requirements of the Site and agree to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

These terms and conditions regarding your use of the Site constitute a legally binding agreement between you, on the one hand, and NTN, on the other hand.

In this Agreement, the term “Site” includes all websites and web pages within or associated with the Site (such as third level domain names and other subdomains) as well as any equivalent, mirror, replacement, substitute or backup websites and web pages that are associated with the Site. By using this Site, you understand, acknowledge and agree that you will abide by the terms of this Agreement and any additional terms that govern certain products and/or services which will be presented in conjunction with those products and/or services (“Additional Terms”), including, but not limited to, any terms that may be provided on the Site relating to the submission of content, media and materials you submit for posting on the Site, the rules of conduct (“Rules of Conduct”) which govern certain activities and services such as voting and contests and sweepstakes and the Site Guidelines. Any Additional Terms and the Site’s separate privacy policy (“Privacy Policy”) are hereby incorporated in this Agreement by reference. If there is a conflict between this Agreement and Additional Terms for the activity which you choose to participate in, the Additional Terms shall govern. This Agreement will remain in full force and effect as long as you are a user of the Site and, in the event of termination of any membership, service or feature, you will still be bound by your obligations under this Agreement (including, but not limited to, the Privacy Policy and any Additional Terms), such as any indemnifications, warranties and limitations of liability.

The words “use” or “using” in this Agreement means any time an individual (a “user”), directly or indirectly, with or without the aid of a machine or device, does or attempts to access, interact with use, display, view, print or copy from the Site, transmit, receive or exchange data or communicate with the Site, or in any way utilizes, benefits, takes advantage of or interacts with any function, service or feature of the Site, for any purpose whatsoever.

Initially, the Site will not offer registration. If we subsequently offer user registration on the Site, to register as a member of the Site, there may be a few options for you to register (which are further described in our Privacy Policy) . In each case, if and when registration is offered, you may be required to either use a pre-existing user name and password (together, your “User ID”) or select a new unique User ID in order to access and use certain features or functions of the Site. We may also, from time to time, provide users with additional codes or passwords necessary to access and use certain features or functions of the Site. Please read our Privacy Policy, which provides additional information on options we may provide to register on the Site and the information we collect, use, disclose, manage and store. If the Site offers registration and you register, your user name and password are personal to you and you may not allow any others to use your user name or password under any circumstances. To the fullest extent permissible by law, if registration is offered, we are not liable for any harm caused or related to the theft or misappropriation of your user name or password, disclosure of your user name or password, or your authorization of anyone else to use your user name or password. You agree to immediately notify us if you become aware of or believe there is or may have been any unauthorized use of (or activity using) your user name or password or any other need to deactivate your user name or password due to security concerns.

Unless the context clearly requires otherwise or we explicitly say so in writing, the term “Site” includes “Material” as well. The Site is to be used solely for your noncommercial, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-transferable and limited personal use and for no other purposes. You must not alter, delete or conceal any copyright or other notices contained on the Site, including notices on any Material you are permitted to download, transmit, display, print or reproduce from the Site. You shall not, nor will you allow any third party (whether or not for your benefit) to reproduce, modify, create derivative works from, display, perform, publish, distribute, disseminate, broadcast or circulate to any third party (including, without limitation, on or via a third party website), or otherwise use, any Material without the express prior written consent of NTN or the Site’s owner if NTN is not the owner. Any unauthorized or prohibited use of any Material may subject you to civil liability, criminal prosecution, or both, under applicable federal, state and local laws. We require users to respect our copyrights, trademarks, and other intellectual property rights. We likewise respect the intellectual property of others. On notice, we will act expeditiously to remove content on the Site that infringes the copyright rights of others and will disable the access to the Site and its services of anyone who uses them repeatedly to infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

10. POSTINGS.

The information and documents you submit/upload to the Site, along with your description of materials submitted/uploaded and any comments or suggestions you provide (collectively, “Posts” or “Postings”) are governed by these Terms of Use, any Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Copyright Compliance Policy.

10.1 Responsibility for Postings; Our Right to Review, Monitor, Edit and/or Screen and Take Other Actions.

You understand, acknowledge and agree that Postings are the sole responsibility of the person from which such Postings originate. This means that you are solely and entirely responsible for the consequences of all Postings that you (including, but not limited to, Postings made by you, including under your name, user name and/or email address) upload, post, email, transmit or otherwise make available via the Site. Except for the licenses, authorizations, consents and rights granted hereunder, as comprehensive and broad as they may seem or actually be, NTN acquires no title or ownership rights in or to any user content you submit and nothing in this Agreement conveys to us any ownership rights in your user content.

Because Postings may include information created and/or used by schools, Postings may not (and often will not) reflect the views of NTN. Moreover, although NTN makes reasonable efforts to verify that Postings do not include altered or edited information and material created and/or used by schools, NTN does not represent or guarantee the truthfulness, accuracy or reliability of any Posting or endorse or support any opinions expressed in any Posting. NTN does not control any Posting submitted, although we may (in our sole discretion) use automated and/or manual means of reviewing Postings in order to prevent unauthorized content (or content that violates these Terms of Use, any Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Copyright Compliance Policy) from appearing and being displayed on our Site. NTN reserves the right to review, monitor, edit and/or screen any Postings and to delete, remove, move, re-format, edit or reject, without notice to you, any Postings that we deem, in our sole discretion, to be in violation of these Terms of Use, any Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Copyright Compliance Policy , or to be unacceptable to NTN, or for any reason or for no reason whatsoever; provided, however, that NTN shall have no obligation or liability for failure to do so or for doing so in any particular manner. If we change your Postings, you will not be responsible for any such changes we make.

If we determine, in our sole discretion and judgment, that any Posting does or may violate these Terms of Use, any Additional Terms, the Privacy Policy, and the Copyright Compliance Policy, in addition to our rights as described in this Agreement, we reserve the right, at any time and without limiting any and all other rights we may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, to: (i) refuse to allow you to Post; (ii) remove and delete any Posting; (iii) revoke your right to use the Site; and/or (iv) use any technological, legal, operational or other means available to us to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, blocking specific IP addresses or deactivating your registration (if we have offered registration) on the Site.

The amount of storage space on the Site per user is limited. Some Postings may not be processed due to space constraints or outbound message limitations. You understand, acknowledge and agree that we assume no responsibility for deletion of any Posting or any failure to store, receive or deliver any Posting in a timely manner or any other matter relating to your Postings. Postings are subject to all of the terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the Rules of Conduct.

10.2 Grant of Rights; Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

If you originate a Posting, you hereby agree that (and each time you submit (or attempt to submit) a Posting, you reaffirm such agreement that): (i) you specifically authorize NTN to use such Posting in whole or in part, throughout the universe, in perpetuity in or on any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, and alone or together with or as part of other information, content and/or material of any kind or nature; (ii) you represent, warrant and covenant that (A) the Posting is original to you (except for content included in the Posting that was created or used by any school) and/or fully cleared for use as contemplated herein, (B) the Posting does and will not, in any way, violate or breach any of the terms of this Agreement, (C) excepting content included in the Posting that was created or used by any school, the Posting does not contain libelous, tortious, obscene or otherwise unlawful material or information, (D) the Posting, and NTN’s exercise of the rights you grant to NTN to the Postings, will not infringe upon, misappropriate or otherwise violate any copyright or other intellectual property, privacy, publicity or other rights of any party, or otherwise violate any other applicable law, rule or regulation, (E) the Posting shall not be injurious to the health of any user, (F) NTN shall not be required to pay or incur any sums to any person or entity as a result of our permitted use or exploitation of the Posting, and (G) excepting content included in the Posting that was created or used by any school, all of the information provided by you associated with your Posting is complete and accurate; and (iii) if your Posting includes information/material other than information/material created or used by schools in the same form created or used by the school and the Posting incorporates any name, logo, brand, service or trademark, voice, likeness or image of any person, firm or enterprise, you additionally represent, warrant and covenant to NTN that (A) you have the right to grant NTN the right to use any additional name, logo, brand, service or trademark, voice, likeness or image, (B) any additional name, logo, brand, service or trademark, voice, likeness or image was produced in compliance with all applicable laws and regulations and (C) for any Posting that contains original videos (other than videos created or used by schools in the same form created or used by the school), you will comply with any applicable identification verification and record-keeping requirements, and our policies regarding governmental certification procedures relating thereto, and you will secure and maintain the requisite personal information and identification documentation for all individuals who appear in any such original videos, as may be required by law and/or otherwise requested or required by us in connection with our corporate compliance policies and practices, which includes (y) the individual’s full legal name, current address, date of birth and (z) a legible photocopy of a valid government-issued identification document (e.g., a U.S. passport, state driver’s license or valid photo ID card) to verify the individual’s identity. With the submission of each such Posting, NTN will reserve the right to request that you, and upon such request you must, deliver a full and complete set of such identification verification records to us, as well as a legible photocopy of your valid driver’s license, passport or other acceptable government-issued photo identification for our verification and record-keeping purposes.

Upon the request of the Site or of NTN, you will promptly furnish any documentation, substantiation and releases necessary and reasonably required to verify and substantiate your compliance with any or all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the foregoing representations, warranties and covenants and, if applicable, you will promptly comply with any specific requests or directions we give you in connection with Postings you submit that may be subject to these requirements.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, you also understand and agree that NTN shall not be obligated or responsible for providing any guild or residual payments in connection with the submission and exploitation of any Posting.

10.3 Claims Regarding Content.

If you believe that any content on the Site (including, without limitation, Postings) violates any of the terms of this Agreement (except for any notices covered by the Copyright Compliance Policy), you may contact us via the Contact Us page (please refer to our Copyright Compliance Policy for any notices covered by the Copyright Compliance Policy). We cannot guarantee that we will respond to your message and we reserve the right to take or refrain from taking any or all steps available to us once we receive any such message.

10.4 Certain Rights of Removal for Postings.

All requests must be submitted with “California Removal Request” prominently included in the request.

Each Promotion may have additional terms, such as the rules governing any voting relating to a Promotion and/or other rules relating to the Promotion, which will be posted or otherwise made available to you and, for purposes of each Promotion, are Additional Terms and will be deemed incorporated into and form a part of this Agreement.

12. CERTAIN PRODUCTS AND SERVICES.

19. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES: BINDING ARBITRATION; NO CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS

19.1 Binding Arbitration and Exclusions from Arbitration.

EXCEPT AS PROVIDED BELOW OR UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE (AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 19.5), ANY AND ALL CLAIMS BETWEEN YOU AND NTN WILL BE RESOLVED IN BINDING ARBITRATION RATHER THAN IN COURT. You and NTN agree to submit to individual arbitration the resolution of any and all Claims by or between you and/or NTN, except that you and NTN agree that the following will not be subject to the mandatory arbitration provisions in this Section 19.1: (A) any Claim filed by you or NTN with respect to any violation, enforcement or validity of patent, trademark, trade dress, service mark, copyright and/or trade secret rights of you, NTN, or any third party, including, but not limited to, Claims related to content that you upload to or share on the Site and/or (B) you or NTN may seek a preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief in any court as provided in Section 20 in connection with any Claim whereby you or NTN, as applicable, may suffer immediate and irreparable harm for which money damages may be inadequate and impossible to calculate (including, but not limited to, a Claim under Section 19.1(A)), where such Claim under this Section 19.1(B) will not be subject to the informal dispute resolution procedures described in Section 19.2 below; provided, however, that, subsequent to obtaining such preliminary injunction, restraining order or other provisional equitable relief, the Claim will then be submitted to arbitration in accordance with Section 19. You and NTN agree that this Agreement affects interstate commerce, and that the enforceability of Section 19 will be governed by, construed, and enforced, both procedurally and substantively, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. sections 1-9 (“FAA”). Arbitration is the referral of a dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, discovery is more limited than in court, there are no class or representative proceedings, and court review of an arbitration decision is limited. An arbitrator must follow this Agreement and can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including, but not limited to, injunctive and declaratory relief, statutory damages, and attorneys’ fees). “Claim(s)” means any dispute, claim or controversy by or between you and/or NTN relating to the Site and/or this Agreement (including, but not limited to, this Site’s Privacy Policy and all Additional Terms, Rules of Conduct, regulations, procedures and policies which we refer to in this Agreement), as may be modified from time-to-time, and the subject matter hereof, including, but not limited to, any contract, tort, statutory, or equity claims.

19.2 Informal Dispute Resolution.

Except with respect to Claims described in Section 19.1(B) above, before either you or NTN pursue or participate in any Claim against the other party in arbitration or court proceedings, you or NTN must notify the other party of the Claim in writing at least 60 days in advance of initiating the arbitration or court proceeding in order to provide a reasonable opportunity to resolve the Claim. You may send a written notice of your Claim to NTN at the following address: 3223 W Lake Ave, #15C-189, Wilmette, IL 60091, Attention: NTN General Counsel. NTN may send written or electronic notice of its Claim to your email address, NTN account or any physical or other address NTN has for you. The notice must describe the Claim in reasonable detail and set forth the relief requested so that the other party has an opportunity to adequately address the Claim. Except with respect to Claims described in Section 19.1(B) above, you and NTN agree to negotiate in good faith with each other to try to informally resolve the Claim and, if you and NTN do not reach an informal resolution of the Claim within 60 days, then the Claim may be submitted to binding arbitration as set forth in Section 19 or court as permitted by Section 19.1.

19.3 Arbitration Proceedings and Costs.

In the event that the Parties are unable to resolve any Claim informally, then such Claim shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. The arbitration shall be initiated and conducted according to either the JAMS Streamlined (for claims under $250,000) or the JAMS Comprehensive (for claims over $250,000) Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein, including the Optional Appeal Procedure, at the office of JAMS at the location set forth in Section 20, or its successor (“JAMS”) in effect at the time the request for arbitration is made (the “Arbitration Rules”). If you initiate the arbitration proceedings, you must send a copy of any initiating forms to NTN, which should be sent to NTN at the following address: 3223 W Lake Ave, #15C-189, Wilmette, IL 60091, Attention: NTN General Counsel. The parties agree that the costs of the arbitration (excluding attorneys’ fees) will be shared pro rata to the extent permitted by law, except you agree to reimburse NTN for all fees associated with the arbitration (including attorneys’ fees) paid by NTN in the event the arbitrator determines that the Claim(s) you assert in the arbitration are frivolous or vexatious. The arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator appointed in accordance with the Arbitration Rules. The arbitrator shall follow Illinois substantive law and the Federal Rules of Evidence in adjudicating the Dispute. In all cases, you and NTN shall exchange documents and other information that you or NTN intend to use in the arbitration. The arbitrator will provide a detailed written statement of decision, which will be part of the arbitration award and admissible in any judicial proceeding to confirm, correct or vacate the award. Unless the Parties agree otherwise, the neutral arbitrator and the members of any appeal panel shall be former or retired judges or justices of any Illinois state or federal court with experience in matters involving the industry. If either party refuses to perform any or all of its obligations under the final arbitration award (following appeal, if applicable) within thirty (30) days of such award being rendered, then the other party may enforce the final award in any court of competent jurisdiction in Cook County, Illinois. The party seeking enforcement shall be entitled to an award of all costs, fees and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing the award, to be paid by the party against whom enforcement is ordered. The parties shall maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration proceeding and the Award, including the arbitration hearing, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by law or judicial decision.

19.4 Class Action Waiver.

UNLESS YOU SUBMIT A VALID ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE (AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 19.5), YOU AND NTN AGREE THAT ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDINGS WHETHER IN ARBITRATION OR IN COURT WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. You and NTN expressly agree that any Claim is personal to you and NTN, shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration (or individual court proceedings with respect to Claims excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 19.1 of this Agreement), and shall in no event be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. The arbitrator (or court if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 19.1 of this Agreement) may only conduct an individual arbitration (or court action if the Claim is excluded from mandatory arbitration as described in Section 19.1 of this Agreement), and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding. If a court or arbitrator determines that this class action waiver is unenforceable in an action between you and NTN, then this Agreement to arbitrate will be unenforceable. Neither you nor NTN consent to class arbitration.

19.5 Right to Opt Out of Mandatory Arbitration and Class Action Waiver.

IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO BE BOUND BY THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER PROVISIONS IN SECTIONS 19.1, 19.3 AND 19.4, YOU MUST NOTIFY NTN IN WRITING (THE “Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice”), WHERE THE ARBITRATION/CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT NOTICE MEETS ALL OF THE FOLLOWING REQUIREMENTS:

19.5.1 Sent by first class mail, postage prepaid, certified and return receipt requested or sent by overnight courier service (such as Federal Express) to NTN, Attention: NTN Legal Department, 3223 W Lake Ave, #15C-189, Wilmette, IL 60091.

19.5.2 Postmarked (if sent by first class mail) or deposited with the overnight courier service no later than 45 days after the date you first access or use the Site, including by posting, or if the Site offers registration, including by registering as a new registered user (“Agreement to Arbitrate Date” except as provided in (C) below), unless a longer period is required by applicable law. Note: If you access, use, or register for more than one NTN website, application or other interactive service, you must provide the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice within the earliest deadline applicable for any NTN website, application or other interactive service you access, use, or for which you register (for example, if the Agreement to Arbitrate Date for the Site is August 15, 2023 and if you previously accessed, used, or registered for another NTN website on August 1, 2023, , you must provide the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice by September 15, 2023 (45 days after August 1 and not 45 days after August 15)).

19.5.3 Includes your first and last name, address, phone number, email address and, if applicable, your username if the Site offers registration and you are a registered user of any NTN website(s), application(s) or other interactive services(s) along with an identification of the NTN website(s), application(s) or other interactive services(s) for each such username. (We shall use the foregoing information included in the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice to record, process, maintain and administer your opt-out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions and not for marketing purposes.)

19.5.4 Includes a statement that you do not agree to the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver.

If the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice meets all of the above requirements, you will be deemed to have opted out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 19.1, Section 19.3 and Section 19.4 with respect to all NTN websites, applications or other interactive services (including, but not limited to, those owned, operated and/or provided by NTN. Note that a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice applies only to the individual identified in such notice as opting out.

If the Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice does not meet all of the above requirements, you will not be deemed to have opted out of the mandatory arbitration and class action waiver provisions in Section 19.1, Section 19.3 and Section 19.4.

20. GOVERNING LAW, JURISDICTION, VENUE AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

With the exception of the provision above that the enforceability of Section 19 is governed both procedurally and substantively by the FAA, this Agreement and your use of the Site is otherwise governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois (without regard to that state’s conflict of laws rules).

You or NTN shall initiate arbitration in the United States county or territory in which you reside or, if you do not reside in the United States or one of its territories, in the non-United States country in which you reside; provided, however, that (a) NTN may request to transfer the arbitration to Cook County, Illinois if it agrees to pay any additional fees or costs you incur as a result of the change in location as such additional fees or costs are determined by the arbitrator and to the maximum extent permitted by law and, upon such request, (b)(i) if you agree to such request, the arbitration shall be transferred to Cook County, Illinois or (ii) if you do not agree to such request, NTN shall have right to request that the arbitrator determine the location in which the arbitration shall be held. You and NTN agree that any Claim that is allowed to proceed in court as set forth in Section 19.1 of this Agreement (including, but not limited to, as a result of your submission of a valid Arbitration/Class Action Waiver Opt-Out Notice), or otherwise proceeds in court in the event the agreement to arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or a particular Claim as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, is subject to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the State or Federal Courts situated in Cook County, Illinois.

To the extent it may be applicable, you and NTN agree to opt out from and expressly exclude any applicability of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act. If any Claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, YOU AND NTN WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.

21. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS.
