You will also not create more than one personal profile, and if you select a username for your account, we reserve the right to remove, repurpose or reclaim it if we believe in our sole discretion that is necessary or appropriate (such as if a trademark owner complains about a username). If you register with the Site, you are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password, if any, and for restricting access to your computer so that others may not access the password protected portion of the Site. You accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account, email or password, if any, and agree you will not sell, transfer or assign your membership or any membership rights. Circle may, in its sole discretion, and at any time, with or without notice, terminate your password and membership, for any reason or no reason at all. If we disable your account, you agree that you will not create another one without our permission.

By visiting the site, you do grant the Circle the right to interfere with the operation or use of your sites through any means or device including, but not limited to, spamming, hacking, uploading computer viruses or time bombs, or any other means.

Except as expressly permitted in writing by Circle, you shall not capture, reproduce, perform, transfer, sell, license, modify, create derivative works from or based upon, republish, reverse engineer, upload, edit, post, transmit, publicly display, frame, link, distribute or exploit, in whole or in part, any of the Material. Nothing contained in this Agreement or on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Material in any manner without the prior written consent of Circle or such third party that may own the Material or intellectual property displayed on the Site. UNAUTHORIZED USE, COPYING, REPRODUCTION, MODIFICATION, PUBLICATION, REPUBLICATION, UPLOADING, FRAMING, DOWNLOADING, POSTING, TRANSMITTING, DISTRIBUTING, DUPLICATING OR ANY OTHER MISUSE OF ANY OF THE MATERIAL IS STRICTLY PROHIBITED. Any use of the Material other than as permitted by this Agreement will violate this Agreement and may infringe upon our rights or the rights of the third party that owns the affected Material.

From time to time, and in its sole discretion, Circle may make available to users certain software that may be accessible or downloaded from this Site. In the event you access or download software from this Site, the software, including any files, images incorporated in or generated by the software, and data accompanying the software (collectively, the “Software”) are licensed to you by Circle or a Circle-approved third party software provider (“Third Party Provider”). Circle does not transfer title to the Software to you. Circle webcam software may be put into effect at any time. Control of user cameras via Circle software is deemed permissible by law and all content captured by Circle becomes the sole property of Circle. Circle retains full and complete title to the Software, and all intellectual property rights therein. For purposes of these TOS, such Software shall be included in the definition of “Materials”. Furthermore, your use of any Software of a Third Party Provider shall be subject to the end user license agreement or any other terms of use set forth by such Third Party Provider for its Software.
Circle is pleased to hear from its visitors and welcomes your comments regarding Circle products, including Circle's user streams. If Circle sponsors a contest or sweepstakes that expressly invites users to submit material for consideration and that contest is governed by a set of Official Rules, then to the extent there is a conflict between the terms of this Paragraph and the terms of such Official Rules, the Official Rules will govern the use of material that is submitted as part of the contest or sweepstakes entry mechanic. Outside of that type of contest or sweepstakes entry mechanic, however, Circle's long-standing company policy does not allow it to accept or consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials other than those it has specifically requested (see below). While we value your feedback on our services and products, we request that you be specific in your comments on those services and products, and that you not submit any creative ideas, suggestions or materials, including but not limited to stories or character ideas, screenplays, or original artwork. We hope you will understand that it is the intent of this policy to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when projects developed by Circle's or its affiliates' professional staff might seem to others to be similar to their own creative work. Accordingly, we ask that you do not send us any original creative materials such as show designs, photographs, drawings, or original artwork that you expect to be compensated for or that you would like to keep private. If you nevertheless choose to make any such submission, Circle may freely use the submission, in whole or in part, for any purpose without any obligation to you.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if you send or post a submission or if you send us creative suggestions, ideas, notes, photographs, drawings, concepts, or any other information (each, a “Submission” and collectively, the “Submissions”) despite our request that you not send us any unsolicited Submissions or other creative materials, the Submission will be treated as non-confidential and nonproprietary in each instance. For purposes of this Paragraph, all User Content shall be deemed included in the definition of Submissions. None of the Submissions shall be subject to any obligation of confidence on the part of Circle, and Circle shall not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions. Any Submission may be used by Circle without restriction for any purpose whatsoever, including, without limitation, reproduction, disclosure, transmission, publication, broadcast or posting, and you hereby irrevocably waive, release and give up any claim that any use of such Submission violates any of your rights, including, without limitation, copyrights, trademarks, moral rights, privacy rights, proprietary or other property rights, publicity rights, or right to credit for the material or ideas. Circle shall have and is hereby irrevocably granted the right, but not the obligation, to reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, broadcast, license, perform, post, sell, translate, incorporate, create derivative works from, exploit, distribute and otherwise use the Submission in any and all media, now known or hereafter devised, throughout the universe, in perpetuity, without according you any compensation or credit. By submitting a Submission to the Site or Circle, you represent that such Submission is original with you and does not violate or infringe upon the rights of any third parties, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights and rights of publicity and/or privacy. Submissions to the Site and/or Circle will not be acknowledged or returned. You agree and understand that Circle is not obligated to use any Submission you make to the Site or Circle and you have no right to compel such use. You hereby acknowledge and agree that your relationship with Circle is not a confidential, fiduciary, or other special relationship, and that your decision to submit any material to Circle does not place Circle in a position that is any different from the position held by members of the general public with regard to your Submission. Don't hold back. Sharing is caring! You understand and acknowledge that Circle has wide access to ideas, stories, designs, and other literary materials, and that new ideas are constantly being submitted to it or being developed by Circle's own employees. Many ideas or stories may be competitive with, similar or identical to your Submission in structure, purpose, function, theme, idea, plot, format or other respects. You acknowledge and agree that you will not be entitled to any compensation as a result of Circle's use of any such similar or identical material. Finally, you acknowledge that, with respect to any claim you may have relating to or arising out of Circle's actual or alleged exploitation or use of any material you submit to the Site and/or Circle, the damage, if any, thereby caused will not be irreparable or otherwise sufficient to entitle you to injunctive or other equitable relief or to in any way enjoin the exploitation or other use of any Circle film, television show, platform, product or service based on or allegedly based on the material, and your rights and remedies in any such event shall be strictly limited to the right to recover damages, if any, in an action at law. Applicable law may restrict or limit the foregoing provisions of this Paragraph. If so, without in any way limiting the foregoing, you agree that in no event shall Circle's liability exceed the amount payable to a writer under the Writer's Guild of America Basic Agreement for a network prime time story or teleplay. Trust us, we're not breaking antitrust laws.

In addition, if you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Circle will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (9) with the exception of subpart (6) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of JAMS, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (6) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor Circle shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on JAMS and/or the rules of JAMS, visit their website at www.jamsadr.com.
You hereby irrevocably waive any right to seek and/or obtain rescission, equitable and/or injunctive relief related to Circle's production, distribution, license, and/or exploitation of any of their motion pictures and/or other content; and your exclusive remedy in connection therewith shall be an action for damages.
If any provision of these terms shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
