1. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS:

As used herein, the following capitalized terms shall have the meanings set forth as follows:

"Content" means and includes, without limitation, photos, images, artwork, graphics, videos, audios, animations, text, editorials, comments, writings, personal information, music, liner notes, lyrics, and other elements and materials, in any media or format now known or hereinafter devised, whether physical, electronic, digital, analog, or otherwise.

"Collaborative Content" means any customized Content that results from users incorporating User Materials into JibJab Content (as defined below) as the functionality of the JibJab Services may allow and enable from time to time.

"JibJab Content" means any and all Content (excluding User Materials) made available through the JibJab Services, including Content owned or controlled by JibJab and/or its corporate affiliates, as well as Content licensed or otherwise provided to JibJab by Licensors/Suppliers (as defined below).

"Licensors/Suppliers" means any and all third parties that make available to JibJab (pursuant to a license or otherwise) their proprietary Content, products, or services for use, deployment, display, performance, and/or distribution via the JibJab Services. For the avoidance of doubt, the term "Licensors/Suppliers" includes third parties that place, display, or distribute their advertising, promotional, or sponsorship Content on the JibJab Services.

You may terminate your free account or membership at any time and for any reason by following the instructions available in the Help section (click here). JibJab may terminate your free account or membership at any time and for any reason, effective immediately upon sending notice to you at the email address you provided during the account set-up process, or such other email address as you may subsequently provide to JibJab.

Even after the free account and/or membership is terminated, these Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect, provided, however, that the User Materials uploaded by you may no longer be accessible through the JibJab Services once your account has been terminated.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you acknowledge that once your User Materials are integrated into Collaborative Content, all of the licenses for such User Materials, as granted in Sections 8 and 9 of these Terms of Service, shall extend in perpetuity, meaning that JibJab will have the perpetual right throughout the world to exploit such Collaborative Content embodying your User Materials in any and all media now known or hereafter devised.

By using the JibJab Services and/or by becoming a Member, you acknowledge that JibJab reserves the right to charge a payment for the JibJab Services and the right to terminate your account or membership should you breach these Terms of Service or fail to pay for the JibJab Services, as required by these Terms of Service or our Terms of Sale. Please keep in mind that JibJab’s membership fees at registration (if any) may change from time to time.

JibJab reserves the right, in its sole discretion and without prior notice to you, to limit the amount of JibJab Content and Collaborative Content you may send and the number of recipients to whom you may send such JibJab Content or Collaborative Content through the JibJab Services.

You are solely responsible for any interactions with other users of the JibJab Services. JibJab takes no responsibility for any damage or harm resulting from your interactions with other users of the JibJab Services. JibJab reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to monitor interactions between you and other users of the JibJab Services and take any action in good faith to restrict access to or the availability of any material that JibJab or another user of the JibJab Services may consider to be obscene, lewd, defamatory, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing, or otherwise objectionable.

Your JibJab account may NOT include any photographs that contain nudity, violence, or offensive subject matter, as determined in JibJab’s sole discretion. Information provided by other JibJab users may contain inaccurate, inappropriate, and/or offensive material, and JibJab assumes no responsibility or liability for this material.

6. PRIVACY:

Your privacy is extremely important to us. The JibJab Services allow, among other things, users who are 16 or older to upload User Materials which may contain personal content (e.g., photographs and information about themselves and others for whom they have the authority or permission to post photos and information) to be shared, sent, and/or posted both in public forums and through private messaging. Accordingly, by submitting personal content through any of the JibJab Services, you hereby waive any and all privacy expectations (including the privacy expectations of any other individual who appears in the submitted content) with respect to JibJab’s use of such content.

The arbitrator's award shall be binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.
