Terms of Use

1. These Terms of Use Are a Contract Between You and Us

A. Binding Contract. These terms of use ("Agreement") are a contract between you and JRWS LLC, an Illinois limited liability company doing business at 1036 West Skylark Drive, Palatine, Illinois, 60067, USA and its affiliates and subsidiaries. Other than as expressly stated herein, there are no third-party beneficiaries of this Contract.

B. Agreement. You represent to JRWS that you have read, understood, and expressly agree to be bound by this Agreement, and the terms, conditions, and notices contained or referenced herein; by creating an account on a JRWS product or making a purchase, you agree to these Terms. If you merely browse without purchasing or registering, these Terms apply to your use of the Services, but you may discontinue at any time. Once you purchase or register, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to the Agreement, you may not use the JRWS Products.

C. Supplemental Terms. This Agreement governs the JRWS Products in general. More specific and/or supplemental terms and conditions may apply to some Products, including but not limited to, a particular contest, sweepstakes or promotion, software, application, promotional code, service or other activity; availability of certain merchandise, content, programs, or other activities; conditions or other limitations to the JRWS Products for users under certain ages; and/or specific terms or restrictions that may accompany certain territories, programs, content, products, websites, applications or other software. Any supplemental terms and conditions are in addition to this Agreement and, in the event of a conflict, the supplemental terms will prevail over this Agreement. If you do not agree to the applicable supplemental terms and conditions disclosed, you may not use the JRWS Product.

D. Amendments. We may need to make changes to any portion of this Agreement from time to time and for many reasons, including to reflect updates to the JRWS Products or changes in law. If we make a material change to this Agreement, it will be effective thirty (30) days following either our dispatch of a notice to you or our posting of the amended terms through the JRWS Products, the third party that makes JRWS Products available to you, or at legal.jrwsllc.com/termsofuse. You are responsible for periodically reviewing this Agreement for updates and amendments. For material changes (changes to pricing, liability, data rights, or termination rights), we will notify you 30 days in advance and require your explicit acceptance. You may decline and cancel your subscription or account at no penalty. For non-material clarifications, continued use constitutes acceptance. If you do not accept material changes, you may cancel before the effective date. Our customer service representatives are not authorized to modify any provision of this Agreement, either verbally or in writing.

E. Accounts. Some JRWS Products permit or require you to create an account to participate or to secure additional benefits. You agree that any information you provide and maintain is accurate, current and complete, including your contact information for notices and other communications from us and your payment information. You agree not to impersonate or misrepresent your affiliation with any person or entity, including using another person's username, password or other account information, or another person's name or likeness, or provide false details for a parent or guardian. You agree that we may take steps to verify the accuracy of information you provide, such as but not limited to sending a confirmation email to the address you provide.

F. Passwords and Security. You agree that you will not share your account or account information with others. You are responsible for taking reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of your username and password, and you are responsible for all activities under your account that you can reasonably control. You agree to promptly notify us of any unauthorized use of your username, password or other account information, or of any other breach of security that you become aware of involving your account or the JRWS Products.

G. Electronic Notice. You consent to receive notices, including agreements, disclosures, and other communications, electronically from us at the email address you have provided. You agree that these electronic notices satisfy any legal requirements that such communications be in writing.

H. Termination or Suspension. We may terminate or suspend your access to any JRWS Products, and/or terminate this Agreement subject to the survival of terms as provided below, if required by law, or if we have objective reason to believe you have used the JRWS Products in violation of any provision of this Agreement or any supplemental terms, and/or if you engage in or encourage infringement or any other illegal conduct as it relates to your use of the JRWS Products. Upon account termination or closure, we will delete your personal data within 30 days, except where we are required by law to retain it (e.g., tax records for 7 years). You may request data deletion in accordance with our Privacy Policy. We will provide you with notice and a reasonable opportunity to cure any violation before termination, except where immediate termination is required by law or to prevent harm. Upon termination, we will provide notice of the reason.

JRWS is not liable for any harm resulting from reliance on product content without independent professional review.

H. Commercial, Marketing, or Branding Use Prohibited. Except as expressly licensed, we do not allow uses of the JRWS Products, or other JRWS intellectual property, that are commercial or business-related, including uses in marketing or branding, or that advertise or offer to sell or promote products or services (whether or not for profit), or that solicit others (including solicitations for contributions or donations).

4. Paid Transactions

A. Identity of Seller. Sales are made by JRWS or the authorized seller identified at the time of sale, if different. If you have questions about your order, please contact the seller at the address provided and they will assist you. Some digital storefronts on the JRWS Products are operated by third parties and, in that case, different or additional sale terms may apply, which you should read when they are presented to you.

B. Digital Content and Virtual Items. We may make applications, games, software or other digital content available on the JRWS Products or through authorized third parties for you to license for a one-time fee. When purchasing a license to access such material from a JRWS Product, charges will be disclosed to you before you complete the license purchase. Your purchase of a virtual item or in-game currency is a payment for a limited, non-assignable license to access and use such content or functionality as intended by the JRWS Products with no right to reproduce, distribute, communicate to the public, make available to the public or transform any JRWS Product via any online media, in any media format or channel now known or hereafter devised (except as may be expressly described or contemplated within the JRWS Product). Virtual items (including characters and character names) or in-game currency purchased or available to you in the JRWS Products can only be used in connection with the JRWS Products where you obtained them or where they were assembled by you as a result of game play. These items are not redeemable or subject to refund and cannot be traded outside of the JRWS Products for money or other items for value. We may modify or discontinue virtual items or in-game currency at any time.

C. Subscriptions. Some JRWS Products require paid subscriptions and the acceptance of supplemental terms to access. By signing up for a subscription, you affirmatively consent that your subscription will be automatically renewed and, unless you cancel your subscription, you authorize us to charge your payment method for the renewal term. You agree that we can change the terms of the subscription with advance notice to you and an opportunity for you to cancel. If you cancel after the renewal date, we do not offer prorated refunds. The period of auto-renewal will be the same as your initial subscription period unless otherwise disclosed to you. If we increase your subscription rate, we will notify you at least 30 days in advance and you may cancel free of charge before the new rate takes effect. If you do not cancel, your continued use constitutes acceptance of the new rate. From time to time, we may offer a free trial subscription for a JRWS Product. If you register for a free trial subscription, we will begin to bill your account when the free trial subscription expires, unless you cancel your subscription before that time. We will send a reminder email to you 24-48 hours before we charge your payment method. If you cancel before the expiration, we will not charge your payment method.

Unless otherwise disclosed when you subscribe, you have the right to cancel your JRWS Product subscription. When a subscription is canceled, you will not receive a prorated refund, but you will continue to have access to the JRWS Products until the end of the term during which you canceled the subscription. If you cancel your subscription, you will still be obligated to pay other charges incurred by you in the course of using the JRWS Product prior to the date of cancellation. If you pay a periodic subscription fee for a JRWS Product, we will provide you with reasonable notice of changes to the fees or billing methods in advance of their effective date and you will be able to cancel your subscription prior to such change. If you subscribed online, we will give you the option of cancelling the subscription online.

D. The Order Process. You will have the opportunity to review and confirm your order, including delivery address (if applicable), payment method and product details. We will send to you a notice when we accept your order and our acceptance will be deemed complete and for all purposes to have been effectively communicated to you at the time we send the notice. At such time, the contract for sale will be made and become binding on both you and us. For physical goods, risk of loss passes when the goods are delivered to the address you provide. For digital goods and subscriptions, risk of loss passes when we make them available to you or your account. If delivery fails due to our error we will re-deliver or refund at your option.

We reserve the right to refuse or cancel any order prior to delivery. Some situations that may result in your order being cancelled include system or typographical errors, inaccuracies in product or pricing information or product availability, fairness among customers where supplies are limited, or problems identified by our credit or fraud departments. We also may require additional verification or information before accepting an order. We will contact you if any portion of your order is cancelled or if additional information is required to accept your order. If your order is cancelled after we have processed your payment but prior to delivery, we will refund your payment.

F. Payments and Billing. When you provide payment information, you represent and warrant that the information is accurate, that you are authorized to use the payment method provided, and that you will notify us of changes to the payment information. We reserve the right to utilize third party payment card updating services to obtain current expiration dates on credit cards and debit cards.

G. Right of Cancellation; Return of Goods. You may have the right to cancel an order placed for a JRWS Product – depending on the nature of the JRWS Product. Please read the following information carefully so you understand your right of cancellation. If you wish to cancel, you must do so by following the cancellation instructions for the particular JRWS Product.

1. Cancelling Subscriptions: Please see the information above on the process for cancelling subscriptions in our Subscriptions section, above.
2. Digital Content: When you purchase a license to access digital content or virtual items, you will be given an opportunity to consent to delivery at the time of purchase. By consenting to delivery, you acknowledge that digital content will be delivered immediately upon purchase and lose the right to cancel. License purchase fees paid for digital content are non-refundable.
3. Physical Goods: You have the right, within thirty (30) days from the date of your receipt of physical goods, to cancel our contract with you and return the goods. This right does not apply to goods stated by us on the JRWS Products to be non-returnable, including but not limited to:
   • Any products with a seal, where the seal is broken, such as audio and video recordings, computer software, or other physical media that have been supplied in sealed packaging; and
   • Personalized items.
4. Personalized Goods: We reserve the right to refuse personalized orders at our discretion. Inappropriate use of our personalization service will cause your order to be cancelled and any payment refunded.

These cancellation rights are separate from and in addition to your rights should any item we supply be faulty. If you are returning goods that are not faulty, you may be required to pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and we may deduct a reasonable amount if you used the goods.

H. Pricing; Taxes. We may revise the pricing for the JRWS Products we offer. When you place your order, we estimate the applicable tax and include that estimate in the total for your convenience. Except to the extent required under applicable tax laws, the actual tax amount that will be applied to your order and charged to your payment method is based on calculations on the date of shipment, regardless of when the order was placed.

I. International Shipping; Customs. Import duties, taxes, and customs fees are your responsibility. We will provide accurate customs documentation and safe packaging. You are responsible for verifying that goods can legally enter your country. Note that warranties, manuals and service availability may be limited internationally. Electrical goods may require adapters. We will comply with all export regulations. Any questions should be directed to your customs authority.

5. Contests, Sweepstakes and Promotions

Contests, sweepstakes and other similar promotions that you enter on a JRWS Product or in connection with JRWS Products integrated with a third-party website, service, application, platform, and/or content ("JRWS Promotions") may be subject to official rules and/or conditions that are supplemental to this Agreement, and which may provide details governing the JRWS Promotion such as eligibility requirements, entry instructions, deadlines, prize information and restrictions. If you wish to participate in any JRWS Promotion, please first review the applicable official rules and/or conditions. If a JRWS Promotion's official rules and/or conditions conflict with this Agreement, the provisions contained in the official rules and/or conditions govern and control the JRWS Promotion. Your entry to a JRWS Promotion constitutes User Generated Content (as defined in Section 7 below) and is subject to all provisions of this Agreement that govern your submission and our use of your User Generated Content.

6. Disclaimers and Limitation on Liability

THE JRWS PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. WE EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

We do not warrant that the Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure. Some jurisdictions do not allow warranty disclaimers; to the extent prohibited, implied warranties are limited to 30 days from purchase.

PLEASE REFER TO THE HELP SECTION OF THE APPLICABLE JRWS PRODUCT FOR ASSISTANCE IF A JRWS PRODUCT IS NOT WORKING PROPERLY. It is your responsibility to ensure you follow installation instructions, have the minimum system requirements, update software as recommended, and consult our customer service resources if you encounter a problem with the JRWS Products.

We shall not be liable for delay or failure in performance for causes beyond our control or any other damage which does not result from a breach of our obligations under this Agreement.

We are not liable for business losses. We only supply products for your personal, noncommercial, and domestic use. If you use the products for any other purpose we will have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, loss of business opportunity, or similar loss.

WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY, DATA LOSS, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTION CAUSED BY: (a) YOUR EQUIPMENT, DEVICES, OS, OR INTERNET CONNECTION, (b) YOUR FAILURE TO FOLLOW SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS, OR (c) FORCE MAJEURE. However, we remain liable for data loss caused by our gross negligence, willful misconduct, or breach of our security obligations, and we maintain reasonable backups to mitigate such losses.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOST PROFITS AND PROPERTY DAMAGE, EVEN IF WE WERE ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, NOR SHALL WE BE HELD LIABLE FOR DELAY OR FAILURE IN PERFORMANCE RESULTING FROM CAUSES BEYOND OUR REASONABLE CONTROL.

OUR TOTAL LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING UNDER THESE TERMS SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF: (a) $1,000, OR (b) THE TOTAL AMOUNT YOU PAID TO US IN THE 12 MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM. THIS LIMITATION DOES NOT APPLY TO YOUR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS, CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT OF OUR IP RIGHTS, OR CLAIMS WE CANNOT LEGALLY EXCLUDE.

7. Submissions, User Generated Content, DMCA Takedown Notices

A. Submissions and Unsolicited Ideas Policies. Our long-standing company policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions or materials. In connection with anything you submit to us – whether or not solicited by us – you agree that creative ideas, suggestions or other materials you submit are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of review, compensation or consideration of any type.

B. User Generated Content. The JRWS Products may ask for or allow you to communicate, submit, upload or otherwise make available text, chats, images, audio, video, contest entries or other content ("User Generated Content"), which may be accessible and viewable by the public. Access to these features may be subject to age restrictions. Whether a JRWS Product made available by us or in connection with JRWS Products appears on a JRWS website, service and/or platform or is integrated with a third-party website, service, application, and/or platform, you may not submit or upload User Generated Content that is defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, violent, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive or that harms or can reasonably be expected to harm any person or entity, whether or not such material is protected by law.

In most instances, we do not claim ownership of your User Generated Content; however, you grant us a non-exclusive, sublicensable, irrevocable and royalty-free worldwide license under all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights and other intellectual property rights for the full duration of those rights to use, reproduce, transmit, print, publish, publicly display, exhibit, distribute, redistribute, copy, index, comment on, modify, transform, adapt, translate, create derivative works based upon, publicly perform, publicly communicate, make available, and otherwise exploit such User Generated Content, in whole or in part, in all media formats and channels now known or hereafter devised (including in connection with the JRWS Products and on third-party websites, services, applications, and/or platforms), in any number of copies and without limit as to time, manner and frequency of use, without further notice to you, without attribution (to the extent this is not contrary to mandatory provisions of applicable law), and without the requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity. You agree that submission of User Generated Content does not establish any relationship of trust and confidence between you and us, and that you have no expectation of compensation whatsoever (except as may be specifically stated in the provisions of the JRWS Products in connection with the submission, or arising from it).

You represent and warrant that your User Generated Content conforms to this Agreement and that you own or have the necessary rights and permissions including, without limitation, all copyrights, music rights and likeness rights (with respect to any person) contained in the User Generated Content, without the need for payment to any other person or entity, to use and exploit, and to authorize us to use and exploit, your User Generated Content in all manners contemplated by this Agreement; and you agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims or expenses (including attorneys' fees) by any third party arising out of or in connection with our use and exploitation of your User Generated Content resulting from your breach of this Agreement. To the fullest extent permitted by law, you waive moral rights and ancillary rights in your UGC. In jurisdictions where moral rights cannot be waived (including the EU, UK, and Canada), you grant us a perpetual, worldwide license to use your UGC in ways that respect mandatory moral rights protections.

If we explicitly authorize you to create derivative works using our IP (such as a contest), you may do so under a non-exclusive license to create and post that work on JRWS Products only. You retain ownership of the derivative work itself. We may display, share, or excerpt your work for promotional purposes with attribution. Any commercial exploitation requires separate written agreement. If you do not agree to these terms, you may not create derivative works using our IP.

We may monitor, screen, post, remove, modify, store and review User Generated Content or communications sent through a JRWS Product, at any time and for any reason, including to ensure that the User Generated Content or communication conforms to this Agreement, without prior notice to you. We may terminate your account and access to the JRWS Products if your User Generated Content violates this Agreement, including unlawful postings or content, without prior notice to you. We are not responsible for, and do not endorse or guarantee, the opinions, views, advice or recommendations posted or sent by users.

C. Claims of Copyright Infringement. Notifications of claimed copyright infringement and counter notices must be sent to our copyright agent:

We will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the JRWS Products that are reported to our designated copyright agent, in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") or, as applicable, other laws.

4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
5. A statement that the complaining party has 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
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

We may give you notice that we have removed or disabled access to certain material by means of a general notice on any JRWS Service, electronic mail to a user's e-mail address in our records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to your physical address in our records. If you receive such a notice, you may provide counter-notification in writing to the copyright agent that includes the information below. To be effective, the counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following:

2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

4. Your name, physical address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of a U.S. Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your physical address is located, or if your physical address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which JRWS LLC may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of allegedly infringing material or an agent of such person.

After receiving a valid counter-notification, we will notify the complaining party. If they do not file a court action within 10 business days, we will restore the material. We will not restore material if: (a) the original complaint obtains a court order, (b) you do not provide a valid counter-notification, or (c) the material was removed for reasons other than copyright (such as spam or harassment).
