Welcome to Autum™, an online entertainment discovery service that allows you to find, collect, share, and access entertainment distributors, from your web browser, on your compatible mobile devices, and natively on your compatible iOS device. Autum’s website is located at www.Autum.com (the “Autum Site”). We refer to the Autum Site and the software applications made available by Autum as the “Service Applications”, and we refer to the Service Applications and the service provided through the Service Applications, collectively, as the “Autum Service”. These Terms of Service (“Terms of Service”) set forth a binding agreement between you and Autum governing your use of the Autum Service. These Terms of Service act as the end user license agreement (or “EULA”) governing your use of the desktop and mobile Service Applications.
In these Terms of Service, “Autum” means Autum, Inc., a Delaware corporation, with its principal business address at 112 Arena Street, El Segundo, CA 90245. Please read these Terms of Service carefully. By using any of the Autum Service, or by creating a user account, you signify your acceptance of these Terms of Service, as they may be amended by Autum from time to time in its sole discretion. You may only use the Autum Service and/or open an account if applicable law does not prohibit your acceptance of these Terms of Service. YOU REPRESENT THAT YOU ARE AT LEAST 18 YEARS OLD. If you are younger than 18 years old, you must get permission from a parent or guardian to open an account and your parent or guardian must agree to these Terms of Service. If you do not agree to these Terms of Service, then you must cease using the Autum Service. THESE TERMS OF SERVICE ARE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS SET FORTH IN SECTION 21, DEPENDING ON THE TERRITORY IN WHICH YOU USE THE AUTUM SERVICE.
When you discover, play, collect, comment-on, post, and share entertainment or other content on or through the Autum Service, you authorize Autum to share and/or publicly display such activity on or through: (i) the Autum Service; and (ii) any third party social networking sites and services you have linked to your Autum account, such as Facebook or Twitter (“Social Networks”).
Autum reserves the right to manage the Autum Service in a manner that it believes best benefits its users and best enables it to maintain the Autum Service. The Autum Service is for your own personal, non-commercial use, and accordingly, Autum has determined that its ability to provide the Autum Service is disrupted when users make an abnormally high number of requests against the service in a short amount of time, or otherwise browse, search, or “scrape” in a manner that is not consistent with normal, personal use (even if those activities technically comply with the specific terms of any free or paid offering). Thus, Autum reserves the right to discontinue any portion or all of the Autum Service, or to terminate or suspend the account of any person, that, in Autum’s experience and sole determination, cause or result in disruptive usage patterns or, with respect to individual account holders, otherwise use the Autum Service in a manner that is not consistent with normal, personal use. For example, you should not share your Autum account with anyone, or have a software application use the Autum Service for you for any purpose (unless otherwise permitted by Autum).
You acknowledge and agree that Autum, and its licensors, retain all right, title and interest in and to all data and information (excluding data and information that you provide), content and materials provided on or through the Autum Service (including, without limitation, the musical compositions, audiovisual works, editorial and contextual information (about artists, cast, crew, movies, TV shows, books, video games, and songs), text, images, photographs, videos, graphics, page headers, the selection and arrangement of elements displayed on or through the Autum Service, the compilation of all content and materials on the Autum Service, and the business process, procedures, methods and techniques used in the Autum Service) and all associated patent rights, copyright rights, trademark rights, trade secret rights and other intellectual property and proprietary rights recognized anywhere in the world.

Each such third party expressly reserves all rights into such intellectual property. Use of third party software or services is subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable third party license agreements, and you agree to look solely to the applicable third party and not to Autum to enforce any of your rights in relation thereto.

As part of Autum’s stand-alone registration process, you will be asked to submit, among other things, your email address and to select a password. You agree that all information you provide to Autum for purposes of creating an account (“Registration Information”) will be true, accurate, current and complete and your failure to provide such information will constitute a breach of these Terms of Service and may result in the immediate termination of your account.

The Social Networks are made available by their respective corporate entities.

Therefore, you agree that Autum will not be responsible or liable for the timeliness, deletion, mis-delivery or failure to store any data, information or content that you provide for display on or through the Service Applications or for transmission through the use of any of the Autum Service. Please read the following – it is an important disclaimer:
The Service Applications, the Autum Service and all information and materials provided through the same are provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis without any warranty or condition, express or implied.

The price information or data provided is not to be relied upon for any business or financial purposes and Autum and its service providers are not liable or responsible in any way for any damages, losses or costs arising from reliance on this information or incurred as a result of the non-performance, interruption or termination for any reason whatsoever of the price information or data. To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, Autum, and each of its joint venturers, licensors, suppliers, vendors, distributors, advertisers and other contracting parties, specifically disclaim all implied warranties including, without limitation, implied warranties of title, quality, performance, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement.

Autum is not responsible and will have no liability for any failures of the Internet or any data or telecommunications equipment, system or network used in connection with the Service Applications or the Autum Service. You acknowledge that the entire risk arising out of the use, inability to use or performance of any of the Autum Service remains with you to the maximum extent permissible under law. For the avoidance of doubt, no provider of a mobile application platform has any warranty obligation, or any obligation to provide maintenance and support services, with respect to any mobile Service Application or the Autum Service. Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of implied warranties, so the foregoing disclaimers may not apply to you. You acknowledge and agree that your sole remedy for any problems or dissatisfaction with any of the Autum Service is to terminate your account and discontinue use of the Service Applications and the Autum Service.
Please read the following – it is an important limitation of Autum’s liability:

To the maximum extent permissible under applicable law, the aggregate liability of Autum and its directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, stockholders, joint venturers, licensors, suppliers, vendors, distributors, advertisers and other contracting parties, or any of them, to you or any third party in any circumstance will not exceed one hundred dollars ($100). Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of incidental or consequential damages or limitation of liability, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you.
You agree that Autum, in its sole discretion and without notice or liability to you, may terminate or suspend your use of, or access to, the Service Applications or any of the Autum Service at any time if Autum believes in good faith that you have violated or acted inconsistently with any provision of these Terms of Service or any applicable law, rule or regulation or that you have engaged in conduct that Autum reasonably determines to be inappropriate or unacceptable. Autum may in its sole discretion, and at any time, discontinue providing the Autum Service, or any part thereof, on notice to you.
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold Autum and its joint venturers, licensors, suppliers, vendors, distributors, advertisers and other contracting parties, together with their respective affiliates, successors, assigns, employees, consultants, agents, directors, officers, members and stockholders, harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, proceedings and suits and all related liabilities, losses, damages, judgments, settlements, penalties, fines, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) that are attributable to your actions or fault and arise out of (i) your access, use or misuse of any of the Autum Service, (ii) your breach or alleged breach of these Terms of Service, (iii) your violation or of any law, rule, regulation or rights of others in connection with your use of any of the Autum Service including, without limitation, infringement of anyone else’s intellectual property rights, or (iv) your use or disclosure of another person’s personal information including, without limitation, financial or credit information. Without limiting the foregoing, you acknowledge that certain countries may require you to pay a use, sales, consumption, value added or other tax in connection with your use of the Autum Service.

Each notification must include the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, (ii) detailed identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works, (iii) 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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Autum to locate the material, (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit Autum to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted; (v) 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 owner, its agent, or the law, and (vi) 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 the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
In the event of any copyright or other intellectual property infringement claim, you acknowledge and agree that as between Autum and any provider of a mobile application platform, Autum, and not any provider of a mobile application platform, will be solely responsible for the investigation and discharge of any such claim.
Autum may modify or update these Terms of Service at any time without notice. Any additional or different terms in these Terms of Service will be effective upon being posted on the Autum Site. It is your responsibility to review these Terms of Service periodically.

Autum reserves the right to add, change, modify, suspend or discontinue all or any of the Autum Service, in its sole discretion, at any time. Unless expressly stated otherwise, the use of any new or existing Autum Service, including the availability of services or products through the Service Applications, will be subject to these Terms of Service. In addition, Autum may also impose limits on any of the Autum Service or restrict your access to portions or all of the Service Applications in its sole discretion without notice or liability. Autum reserves the right to refuse to provide you with access to any of the Autum Service or to allow you to create a user account for any reason.
You hereby agree that Autum would be irreparably damaged if these Terms of Service were not specifically enforced, and therefore you agree that Autum will be entitled, without bond, other security, or proof of damages, to appropriate equitable remedies with respect to breaches of these Terms of Service, in addition to such other remedies as Autum may otherwise have available to it under applicable laws.
You will comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the territories in which the Autum Service is made available, including, without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (collectively “Export Controls”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you will not, and you will require your representatives not to, export, direct or transfer the Service Applications, or any direct product thereof, to any destination, person or entity restricted or prohibited by the Export Controls. You represent and warrant that (i) 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 (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
These Terms of Service, including the Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions governing the use of the Service Applications and the Autum Service incorporated herein or incorporating these Terms of Service, constitute the entire agreement between you and Autum with respect to your access and use of the Service Applications and the Autum Service and supersede all prior and contemporaneous agreements between you and Autum relating to the same subject matter. Some jurisdictions do not allow for certain of the disclaimers, limitations and exclusions set forth in these terms of service, so the above exclusions and limitations may not apply to you. Additionally, your use of any mobile Service Application may be subject to the terms of any applicable agreement published by a mobile application platform provider or your wireless carrier. If any provision of these Terms of Service is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be construed in a manner consistent with applicable laws to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect. Autum’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Service will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision and no waiver will be effective unless it is made in writing and signed by an authorized representative of Autum. You and Autum expressly acknowledge and agree that the language governing these Terms of Service, and the Privacy Policy and any other terms and conditions governing the use of the Service Applications and the Autum Service incorporated herein or incorporating these Terms of Service (collectively, the “Terms”), will be English. For your convenience, Autum may provide you with a translation of the English language version of the Terms. In the event of any inconsistency between a non-English version of the Terms and the English version, the English version will govern your relationship with Autum. In the event any litigation is brought by you or Autum in connection with these Terms of Service, the prevailing party in such litigation will be entitled to recover from the other party all the reasonable costs, attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by such prevailing party in the litigation. You acknowledge and agree that, although these Terms of Service are solely between you and Autum, Autum’s third party licensors, including, without limitation, its content providers (such as record labels, publishers, performance rights organizations and providers of data services) and its mobile application platform providers, are third party beneficiaries of these Terms of Service, and upon your acceptance of these Terms of Service, these third parties will have the right to enforce these Terms of Service as if they were original parties to this document. If you are, or are entering into this Terms of Service on behalf of, any agency or instrumentality of the United States Government, the Service Applications are “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation,” and pursuant to FAR 12.212 or DFARS 227.7202, and their successors, as applicable, use, reproduction, and disclosure of the Service Applications are governed by the terms of this Terms of Service.
These Terms of Service will be is governed by, and will be construed under, the laws of the United States of America and the laws of the State of California, without regard to choice of law principles. The application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. Except as provided in Section 22 below (and claims proceeding in any small claims court), all disputes arising out of or related to your use of the Autum Service shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in Los Angeles, California and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
Before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding, you and Autum agree to first attempt to negotiate any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms of Service (“Claim”) (except those Claims expressly provided in Section 22.6 below) informally for at least sixty (60) days. Negotiations will begin upon receipt of written notice. Autum will send its notice to your physical address (if on file with Autum) and email you a copy to the email address you have provided. You will send your notice to Autum, Inc., 112 Arena Street, El Segundo, CA 90245, ATTN: CLAIM.
If the parties fail to resolve a Claim through negotiations within the above sixty (60) day period, you and Autum agree that, except as provided in Section 22.6 below, all Claims will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration, which may be initiated by either party by sending a written notice requesting arbitration to the other party. Any election to arbitrate by one party will be final and binding on the other. The arbitration will be conducted under the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”) and under the terms set forth in these Terms of Service. In the event of a conflict between the terms set forth in this Section 22 and the JAMS Rules, the terms in this Section 22 will control and prevail. Except as otherwise set forth in Section 22.6, you may seek any remedies available to you under federal, state or local laws in an arbitration action. As part of the arbitration, both you and we will have the opportunity for discovery of non-privileged information that is relevant to the Claim. The arbitrator will provide a written statement of the arbitrator’s decision regarding the Claim, the award given and the arbitrator’s findings and conclusions on which the arbitrator’s decision is based. The determination of whether a Claim is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Except as otherwise provided in these Terms of Service, (i) you and Autum may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator; and (ii) the arbitrator’s decision will be final, binding on all parties and enforceable in any court that has jurisdiction, provided that any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to follow applicable law. BY AGREEING TO THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, YOU UNDERSTAND THAT YOU AND AUTUM ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL.
If you initiate arbitration for a Claim, you will only need to pay an arbitration initiation fee of $250 and we will pay all other costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. If we are initiating arbitration for a Claim, we will pay all costs charged by JAMS for initiating the arbitration. All other fees and costs of the arbitration will be charged pursuant to the JAMS Rules. Notwithstanding anything in the clause titled “Miscellaneous” above to the contrary, you will not be required to pay our attorneys’ fees or other costs if you do not prevail in the arbitration.
The arbitration will take place in your hometown area if you so notify Autum in your notice of arbitration or within ten (10) days following receipt of Autum’s arbitration notice. In the absence of a notice to conduct the arbitration in your hometown area, the arbitration will be conducted in Los Angeles, California, unless the parties agree to video, phone and/or Internet connection appearances.
You and Autum agree that any arbitration will be limited to the Claim between Autum and you individually. YOU AND AUTUM AGREE THAT (A) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE ARBITRATED ON A CLASS-ACTION BASIS OR TO UTILIZE CLASS ACTION PROCEDURES; (B) THERE IS NO RIGHT OR AUTHORITY FOR ANY DISPUTE TO BE BROUGHT IN A PURPORTED REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY OR AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL; AND (C) NO ARBITRATION WILL BE JOINED WITH ANY OTHER.
You and Autum agree that the following Claims are not subject to the above provisions concerning negotiations and binding arbitration: (i) any Claims seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or Autum’s intellectual property rights; (ii) any Claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (iii) any claim for equitable relief. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Claims that are within the scope of such courts’ jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration. As some jurisdictions do not allow for some of the dispute resolution provisions set forth in these Terms of Service, some of these provisions may not apply to you.
You and Autum agree that if any portion this “Dispute Resolution” section is found illegal or unenforceable (except any portion of Section 22.6 above), that portion will be severed and the remainder of this section will be given full force and effect. If Section 22.6 above is found to be illegal or unenforceable then neither you nor Autum will elect to arbitrate any Claim falling within that portion of Section 22.6 above found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Claim will be exclusively decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within Los Angeles, State of California, United States of America, and you and Autum agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
