4. Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration.

PLEASE READ THIS “DISPUTE RESOLUTION BY BINDING ARBITRATION” PROVISION CAREFULLY, BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH LEE AND LEA PUBISHING, LLC AND IT LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF.

THIS PROVISION PRECLUDES YOU FROM BRINGING ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST LLP. IT ALSO PRECLUDES YOU FROM PARTICIPATING IN OR RECOVERING RELIEF UNDER ANY CURRENT OR FUTURE CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION AGAINST LLP BY SOMEONE ELSE. IN ADDITION, ARBITRATION PRECLUDES YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL.

WHETHER TO AGREE TO ARBITRATION IS AN IMPORTANT DECISION. IT IS YOUR DECISION TO MAKE AND YOU SHOULD NOT RELY SOLELY ON THE INFORMATION PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AS IT IS NOT INTENDED TO CONTAIN A COMPLETE EXPLANATION OF THE CONSEQUENCES OF ARBITRATION. YOU SHOULD TAKE REASONABLE STEPS TO CONDUCT FURTHER RESEARCH AND TO CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY REGARDING THE CONSEQUENCES OF YOUR DECISION. YOU MAY OPT-OUT OF THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION BY FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS BELOW.

Scope of Arbitration. You and LLP agree that any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to your access to or use of the websites or Services or to this Agreement or any other aspect of the parties’ relationship (a “Dispute”), shall be determined by arbitration, except that you and LLP are NOT required to arbitrate any Dispute in which either party seeks equitable and/or legal or other relief for alleged violation of the Copyright Act, Lanham Act, or Patent Act or for state law claims of copyright, trademark, trade secret or unfair competition laws.

Small Claims Court. Notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, you may bring an individual action in the small claims court of your state or municipality if the action is within that court’s jurisdiction and is pending only in that court.

Applicable Arbitration Rules and Procedure. The arbitration shall be governed by the rules of JAMS that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated (the “JAMS Rules”), available at http://www.jamsadr.com or by calling 1-800-352-5267, and under the rules set forth in this Arbitration Provision, except that JAMS may not administer any multiple claimant or class arbitration, as the parties agree that the arbitration shall be limited to the resolution only of individual claims. If there is a conflict between the JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in this Arbitration Provision, the rules set forth in this Arbitration Provision shall govern. You may, in arbitration, seek any and all remedies otherwise available to you pursuant to federal, state, or local laws. All Disputes shall be resolved by a single neutral arbitrator, and both parties shall have a reasonable opportunity to participate in the selection of the arbitrator. The arbitrator is bound by the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, any claim that all or any part of this Agreement is void or voidable. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. You may choose to engage in arbitration hearings by telephone. Arbitration hearings not conducted by telephone shall take place in a location reasonably accessible from your primary residence, or in Richmond, Virginia, at your option.

  1. Initiation of Arbitration Proceeding. If either You or LLP decide to arbitrate a Dispute, we agree to the following procedure:
    1. Write a Demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the Dispute and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at http://www.jamsadr.com (“Demand for Arbitration”).
    2. Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS at:

One Atlantic Center

Atlanta, GA 30309

F 404-588-0905

  1. Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to the other party at the address set forth above in Section A on Notices or in accordance with that Section.
  1. Hearing Format. In all hearing formats, the arbitrator shall issue a written decision that explains the essential findings and conclusions on which an award, if any, is based. The discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute may be allowed during the arbitration.

Location of Arbitration and Applicable Rules. You and LLP agree that such arbitration shall occur in Richmond, Virginia. You may request to appear in such proceedings telephonically. You and LLP agree that such arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Service (“JAMS”), as modified by this Agreement.

Authority of Arbitrator. With the exception of class procedures and remedies as discussed below under “Waiver of Class Relief,” the arbitrator shall have the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court.

Allocation of Arbitration Fees. If you assert a Dispute as a consumer, you will only be required to pay arbitration fees of $250 of the fees charged by JAMS in connection with any arbitration under this section, and LLP will bear all other costs charged by JAMS or the arbitrator, including any remaining JAMS Case Management Fee and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services. You will still be responsible for paying your own attorneys’ fees.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS AND CLASS ARBITRATIONS. YOU AND LLP AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING DISPUTES AGAINST THE OTHER PARTY ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION FEDERAL OR STATE CLASS ACTIONS, OR CLASS ARBITRATIONS. ACCORDINGLY, UNDER THE ARBITRATION PROCEDURES OUTLINED IN THIS ARBITRATION PROVISION, AN ARBITRATOR SHALL NOT COMBINE OR CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PARTY’S CLAIMS WITHOUT THE WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO AN ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.

Procedure to Opt-Out of Arbitration Provision. You may opt-out of this arbitration provision only by written Notice via U.S. Mail, or by any nationally recognized delivery service (e.g., UPS, Federal Express, etc.) to Lee and Lea Publishing, LLC., Attn: General Counsel, P. O. Box 369 Providence Forge, Virginia, 23140.You must send such Notice within thirty (30) days of your acceptance of this Agreement. You must sign and date the Notice, and include in it your name, address, and a clear statement that you do not wish to resolve disputes with LLP through arbitration. If you do not follow this procedure by your thirty (30) day deadline to do so, then you and LLP shall both be bound by the terms of this section entitled Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration.

If any portion of this Section entitled “Dispute Resolution by Binding Arbitration” is found to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed with the remainder of this Section remaining in full force and effect. The foregoing shall not apply to the prohibition against class or representative actions; if the prohibition against class or representative actions is found to be unenforceable, this entire Arbitration Provision shall be null and void. The terms of this Arbitration Provision shall otherwise survive any termination of this Agreement.

5. Entire Agreement.This Agreement contains our entire understanding and agreement regarding your use of the websites, and supersedes any and all prior agreements and understandings regarding its subject matter. No failure or delay by either of us in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of that right, power or privilege, nor will any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other such right, power, or privilege.

The Services – Additional Terms and Conditions

This Section contains additional terms and conditions governing your use of the Services.

A. Additional General Terms and Conditions Applicable to the Services

  1. Controlling Content. We strive to make your use of the Services as easy as possible. For the Website this includes a default setting that places all Content that you upload on all Services-eligible blank products once you place any of your Content on any Services-eligible blank product. You can opt out of this by making a request to info@leeandleapublishing.com.
  1. Product Pricing. Our Services partners control the baseline pricing for Products sold through their sales channels. Your Products’ pricing may vary, depending on the sales channel.
  1. Shop Fees. Our Service Partners may use fees for hosting your materials in their “Shop”. Please refer to the host company guidelines.
  1. Product Pricing. You set the prices for all Products offered through your “Shops”.

Exhibit A
Fees, Royalties and Commissions

All Royalties due will be calculated at retail prices, discounted prices, promotional prices, or as otherwise determined by us and/or our partners.

Products that you offer for sale through our Vendors/Partners are offered at preset retail prices determined by us and/or our Vendors/Partners.  These retail prices are based on a variety of factors including the cost of the blank product to be printed, as well as the costs of printing, shipping, and provision of the Services and/or partner services provided to you.  We do not take Content into consideration when setting retail prices for Products offered for sale through the Services, so pricing is completely independent of the Content involved.

By using the Services, you understand that the blank products offered, and their associated retail prices, may change at any time and you agree to and accept any and all such changes.

Finally, all Content offered for sale through the Services may be made available for purchase on third party websites.  Individual partners may establish and control their own retail prices, so they may differ from those on the Website.

[1] “Net Revenue” means the gross revenue actually received by us for your Products, minus discounts, returns, refunds, redos, chargebacks, taxes and shipping revenue.

[2] “Vendors/Partners” are the distribution channels, platforms and mechanisms by which we sell and distribute your Products including, without limitation, any and all third party feeds, retail distribution partnerships, and any distribution channels that we own, operate and/or control.  For example, if your Content is placed on the Website, and Products bearing that Content are sold through one of our Partners such as Amazon.com, then you will receive a Royalty of 5% of the Net Revenue for all sales of your Products. We may add or eliminate distribution channels through which you may offer your Products (subject to the license terms set forth herein) at any time without liability to you and/or anyone else.

Exhibit B
Content Usage Policy

Our Content Usage Policy (CUP) establishes the guidelines for your use of the websites and/or the Services to upload, store and use your Content. Your use of the websites and/or Services constitutes your agreement that everything you upload, store, or use on the Website complies with this CUP, and you accept liability for any non-compliant Content.

If you believe that images on the websites or offered through the Services infringe your intellectual property rights, notify us at info@leeandleapublishing.com. If you are not a rightsholder, but believe that images on the websites violate this CUP, please email us at info@leeandleapublishing.com.

  1. Prohibited Images

All Content uploaded to the websites will be evaluated against our CUP.

Below are some general examples of prohibited Content. Although LLP has the right and authority, in its sole and absolute discretion, to remove any Content on the websites which LLP believes violates this CUP, you are always fully responsible for all Content that you upload to the websites.

  1. General Categories of Prohibited Content

Content is prohibited on the Website if it:

  • may infringe the intellectual property or other rights of a third party, including rights of privacy and personality;
  • makes inappropriate use of swastikas or other Nazi symbols and/or glamorizes the actions of Hitler or other individuals or groups advocating ethnic cleansing, genocide or similar activities;
  • uses symbols or marks signifying hate towards another group of people;
  • contains or consists of hateful and/or racist terms;
  • is pornographic;
  • nudity may be prohibited on the Vendor/Partner websites;

The list above is NOT exhaustive, and only serves as a general guideline.

AN IMPORTANT NOTE ABOUT TOLERANCE IN A DIVERSE WORLD: LLP has millions of users, from varied backgrounds and cultures, who differ in their beliefs and views about what is considered acceptable and what is considered offensive. We recognize that along with such diversity comes differences which may result in some individuals being offended by the opinions, perspectives and creative expressions of others within our user group. We ask that you exercise tolerance, and respect each individual’s right to express him- or herself in a manner consistent with our CUP.

All Content that you upload is automatically stored to the websites. We do not review any Content before you upload it to the websites. By using our Services, you assume full responsibility for all of the Content that you upload to the websites, and for complying with our CUP.

  1. Examples of Content Prohibited Under Intellectual Property Laws

Following are some examples of Content that should not be uploaded to the websites under intellectual property laws:

  • NO unofficial merchandise, such as Content relating to professional sports teams, videogames, or Olympic merchandise.
  • NO use of names, logos, pictures or other intellectual property of musical groups or musical artists. For example, you cannot make merchandise depicting a musical group or artist simply because you run a fan-based website for that group or artist or just because you downloaded his/her/their image from an internet website. You also cannot modify the name of or other intellectual property relating to these individuals and avoid infringement.
  • NO use of names, logos, pictures, or other intellectual property of sports teams, colleges/universities, clubs, or organizations. Modifications may not avoid infringement.
  • NO photos, logos, caricatures, or other artwork depicting actors, actresses, models or other celebrities. Just because you take a photograph of a celebrity does not necessarily give you the right to use that photograph on merchandise, even if you digitally manipulate the photograph. However, Content depicting political figures is permissible if used to promote political free speech (and not to endorse products). A political figure is usually a person holding or seeking political office. While certain celebrities are sometimes active in politics, LLP does not allow use of content depicting celebrities in any manner unless expressly authorized by that person.
  • NO use of trademarks, names, or logos of companies. For example, you cannot use the name of a company or company logo. However, Content depicting political parties is permissible if used to promote political free speech, and the Content does not otherwise use or depict other trademarks, names, or logos.
  • NO pictures or photographs of products (such as toys). Even if you own a product, intellectual property laws may still prohibit you from selling merchandise that features pictures of it. For example, you cannot take a picture of your famous doll and sell merchandise for that famous doll with that picture.

This list is NOT comprehensive. If in doubt, you should consult with an attorney.

You may not use false or misleading Content to market and promote your shops and products. Some examples of false and misleading information are:

  • Making claims that the proceeds from sales will go to a charity without first obtaining permission from such charity to use their name in connection with product sales, and complying with all applicable laws relating to charity fundraising;
  • Using a third party trademark to market your content (e.g. using “Gucci”® in your product descriptions, titles, tags or other SEO text on your LLP website or Vendor shop pages); and
  • Spamming or attempting to deliberately subvert the results of the LLP directory or search engine with false, misleading, or unnecessarily repetitive information (e.g., tag spamming or artificially increasing your LLP search results rankings).
