THE SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. IN ADDITION, WHILE WE ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE A GOOD USER EXPERIENCE, WE DO NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT: (A) THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS BE SECURE, ERROR-FREE, OR TIMELY; (B) THE SERVICES WILL ALWAYS FUNCTION WITHOUT DELAYS, DISRUPTIONS, OR IMPERFECTIONS; OR (C) THAT ANY CONTENT, USER CONTENT, OR INFORMATION YOU OBTAIN ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES WILL BE TIMELY OR ACCURATE.
NEITHER WE NOR OUR AFFILIATES TAKE RESPONSIBILITY OR ASSUME LIABILITY FOR ANY CONTENT THAT YOU, ANOTHER USER, OR A THIRD PARTY CREATES, UPLOADS, POSTS, SENDS, RECEIVES, OR STORES ON OR THROUGH OUR SERVICES. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU MAY BE EXPOSED TO CONTENT THAT MIGHT BE OFFENSIVE, ILLEGAL, MISLEADING, OR OTHERWISE INAPPROPRIATE, NONE OF WHICH WE OR OUR AFFILIATES WILL BE RESPONSIBLE FOR.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, WE AND OUR MANAGING MEMBERS, SHAREHOLDERS, EMPLOYEES, AFFILIATES, LICENSORS, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, AND CONTRACTORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, OR MULTIPLE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR REVENUES, WHETHER INCURRED DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, USE, GOODWILL, OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES, RESULTING FROM: (A) YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE THE SERVICES; (B) THE CONDUCT OR CONTENT OF OTHER USERS OR THIRD PARTIES ON OR THROUGH THE SERVICES; OR (C) UNAUTHORIZED ACCESS, USE, OR ALTERATION OF YOUR CONTENT, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Please read this Section carefully because it requires users who are U.S. residents to arbitrate certain disputes with OTG and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.
Applicability of Arbitration Clause. In this Section 12 (“Arbitration Clause”), you and OTG agree that all claims and disputes (whether contract, tort, or otherwise), including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms or your access to or use of the Services (including those claims and disputes that arose between us before the effective date of these Terms) that cannot be resolved in small claims court will be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and OTG are not required to arbitrate any disputes in which you or OTG seeks equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property.
Arbitration Rules. The Federal Arbitration Law governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Clause, and not state law. Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS (https://www.jamsadr.com). Arbitration will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator. Disputes involving claims, counterclaims, or requests for relief under $250,000 (not including interest or attorney’s fees), will be subject to most current JAMS’s Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All other disputes will be subject to most current JAMS’s Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures. JAMS’s Rules are available on their website. If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, you and OTG will select an alternative forum. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted virtually, based on written submissions, in person in your hometown area, or at another mutually agreed location. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Fees. JAMS sets forth fees for its services, which are available on their website. If OTG is the party initiating arbitration against you, OTG will pay all administrative costs associated with arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating arbitration against OTG, the only fee you will be required to pay is $250. All remaining administrative fees will be borne by OTG.
Authority of the Arbitrator. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to decide all disputes concerning the arbitrability of a claim (including scope, applicability, enforceability, or validity of this Arbitration Clause), subject to this Arbitration Clause. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and OTG. The dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim or dispute. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator will 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 OTG.
Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND OTG WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN US, INCLUDING LITIGATION OVER WHETHER TO VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRAL AWARD.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION CLAUSE MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.
Right to Opt-out. You have the right to opt-out of this Arbitration Clause within 30 days after becoming subject to this Arbitration Clause. To do so, you must notify OTG in writing by mailing your notice to 5425 Grosvenor Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90066, or by emailing the notice to info@owltower.group. Your notice must include your name and address, your username and 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.
These Terms and your access to and use of the Services will be governed by, construed, enforced, and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of California or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdiction other than those of the State of California. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to these Terms.
To the extent that these Terms allow you or OTG to initiate litigation in a court, you and OTG agree that all claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to the Terms or the access to or use of our Services will be litigated exclusively in the United States District Court for the Central District of California, unless it would lack original jurisdiction over the litigation, in which case all such claims and disputes will be litigated exclusively in the Superior Court of California, County of Los Angeles. You and OTG consent to the personal jurisdiction of both courts.
By accessing or using our Services, you consent to receive electronic communications from OTG. You agree that any notices or other communications that we send to you electronically will satisfy any legal communication requirements, including, but not limited to, that such communications be in writing.
We reserve the right, without notice and in our sole discretion, to terminate, in whole or in part, your right to access or use the Services. After termination, you and OTG agree to continue to be bound by Sections 2 and 5 - 18 of the Terms.
These Terms are subject to change by OTG in its sole discretion at any time. When changes are made, we will make a new copy of these Terms available on our Services. We will also update the “Last Updated” date at the top of these Terms. If we make any material changes to these Terms, we will notify you in advance in accordance with Section 14 of these Terms. Any changes to these Terms will be effective immediately or within the time period specified in such notice of material changes. We may require you to provide consent to the updated Terms in a specified manner before further access to or use of the Services is permitted. If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you must stop accessing or using the Services; otherwise, your continued access to or use of the Services constitutes your acceptance of the updated Terms.
You may not use, export, import, or transfer all or any portion of the Services except as authorized by U.S. law, the laws of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Services, and any other applicable laws. In particular, but without limitation, the Services may not be exported or re-exported (a) into any United States embargoes countries, or (b) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Department of Commerce Denied Persons List or Entity List. By using the Services, you represent and warrant that (y) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government as a “terrorist supporting” country and (z) you are not listed on any U.S. Government list of prohibited or restricted parties. You also will not use the Services for any purpose prohibited by U.S. law, including the development, design, manufacture or production of missiles, nuclear, chemical or biological weapons. You acknowledge and agree that products, services or technology provided by OTG are subject to the export control laws and regulations of the United States. You shall comply with these laws and regulations and shall not, without prior U.S. government authorization, export, re-export, or transfer OTG products, services or technology, either directly or indirectly, to any country in violation of such laws and regulations.
In accordance with California Civil Code § 1789.3, you may report complaints to the Complaint Assistance Unit of the Division of Consumer Services of the California Department of Consumer Affairs by contacting them in writing at 400 R Street, Sacramento, CA 95814, or by telephone at (800) 952-5210.
These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and OTG relating to your access and use of our Services and supersede all prior agreements.
If any term or provision of these Terms, in whole or in part, is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of these Terms or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
To the extent the Services are hosted on a third-party streaming platform or social media platform, in the event of a conflict between these Terms and any terms governing such platforms, the latter shall control.
The headings used in these Terms are for convenience purposes only and do not affect or control the meaning of any provision of these Terms.
You may not transfer any or your rights or obligations under these Terms without our consent. OTG reserves the right to transfer our rights under these Terms and provide the Services using another entity, provided that that entity upholds these Terms.
The failure of OTG to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of such rights or provisions.
