1. Introduction

This User Agreement and all policies and additional terms posted on and in our sites, applications, tools and services (collectively “Services”) set out the terms on which ScreenExchange offers you access to and use of our Services. The Mobile Application Terms of Use, all policies and additional terms posted on and in our Services are incorporated into this User Agreement. You agree to comply with all terms of this User Agreement when accessing or using our Services.

The entity you are contracting with is: The Film Club of America, 29 Franklin Street, Petersburg, Virginia 23803. In this User Agreement, these entities are individually and collectively referred to as “ScreenExchange,” “we,” or “us.”

Please be advised that this User Agreement contains provisions that govern how claims you and we have against each other are resolved (see “Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability” and “Legal Disputes” provisions below). It also contains an Agreement to Arbitrate which will, with limited exception, require you to submit claims you have against us or our agents to binding and final arbitration, unless you opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate (see Legal Disputes, Section B (“Agreement to Arbitrate”)). If you do not opt out: (1) you will only be permitted to pursue claims against us or our agents on an individual basis, not as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative action or proceeding and (2) you will only be permitted to seek relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) on an individual basis.

2. About ScreenExchange

ScreenExchange is a marketplace that allows users to offer, sell and buy filmmaking resources and motion picture content in a variety of pricing formats and locations. The actual contract for sale is directly between the Vendor and buyer. ScreenExchange is not a traditional auctioneer.

Any guidance we provide as part of our Services, such as pricing, shipping, listing, and sourcing is solely informational and you may decide to follow it or not. Also, while we may help facilitate the resolution of disputes through various programs, ScreenExchange has no control over and does not guarantee: the existence, quality, safety or legality of items advertised; the truth or accuracy of users’ content or listings; the ability of Vendors to sell items; the ability of buyers to pay for items; or that a buyer or Vendor will actually complete a transaction or return an item.

3. Using ScreenExchange

In connection with using or accessing our Services you will not:

• post, list or upload content or items in inappropriate categories or areas on our sites;
• breach or circumvent any laws, regulations, third-party rights or our systems, Services, policies, or determinations of your account status;
• use our Services if you are not able to form legally binding contracts (for example, if you are under 18 years old), or are temporarily or indefinitely suspended from using our Services, or are a person with whom transactions are prohibited under economic or trade sanctions;
• fail to pay for items purchased by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an ScreenExchange policy, for example, the Vendor has materially changed the item’s description after you bid, a clear typographical error is made, or you cannot contact the vendor;
• fail to deliver items sold by you, unless you have a valid reason as set out in an ScreenExchange policy, for example, the buyer fails to comply with the posted terms in your listing or you cannot contact the buyer;
• manipulate the price of any item or interfere with any other user’s listings;
• post false, inaccurate, misleading, deceptive, defamatory, or libelous content;
• take any action that may undermine the feedback or ratings systems;
• transfer your ScreenExchange account (including Feedback) and user ID to another party without our consent;
• distribute or post spam, unsolicited or bulk electronic communications, chain letters, or pyramid schemes;

• export or re-export any ScreenExchange application or tool, except in compliance with the export control laws, and rules and policies of any relevant jurisdictions;
• infringe the copyright, trademark, patent, publicity, moral, database, and/or other intellectual property rights (collectively, “Intellectual Property Rights”) that belong to or are licensed to ScreenExchange. Some, but not all, actions that may constitute infringement are reproducing, performing, displaying, distributing, copying, reverse engineering, decompiling, disassembling, or preparing derivative works from content that belongs to ScreenExchange or someone else;
• infringe any Intellectual Property Rights that belong to third parties affected by your use of our Services or post content that does not belong to you;
• commercialize any ScreenExchange application or any information or software associated with such application, except with the prior express permission of ScreenExchange;
• harvest or otherwise collect information about users without their consent; or
• circumvent any technical measures used to provide our Services.

Vendors must meet ScreenExchange’s minimum performance standards. Failure to meet these standards may result in ScreenExchange charging you additional fees, and/or limiting, restricting, suspending, or downgrading your vendor account.

If we believe you are abusing ScreenExchange and/or our Services in any way, we may, in our sole discretion and without limiting other remedies, limit, suspend, or terminate your user account(s) and access to our Services, delay or remove hosted content, remove any special status associated with your account(s), remove, not display, and/or demote listings, reduce or eliminate any discounts, and take technical and/or legal steps to prevent you from using our Services.

If we believe you are violating our policies prohibiting Offers to buy or sell outside of ScreenExchange, you may be subject to a range of actions, including limits on your buying and selling privileges, restrictions on listings and account features, suspension of your account, application of fees, and recovery of expenses for policy monitoring and enforcement. If you are a Vendor and you offer or reference your contact information or ask a buyer for their contact information in the context of buying or selling outside of ScreenExchange, you may be liable to pay a final value fee applicable to that item, even if the item does not sell.

We may cancel unconfirmed accounts or accounts that have been inactive for a substantial period of time. Additionally, we reserve the right to refuse, modify, or terminate all or part of our Services to anyone for any reason at our discretion.

4. Listing Conditions

When listing an item for sale on our Services, you agree that:

• You assume full responsibility for the item offered and the accuracy and content of the listing,
• Your listing may not be immediately searchable by keyword or category for several hours (or up to 24 hours in some circumstances). ScreenExchange can’t guarantee exact listing duration,
• Your fixed-price listings may renew automatically every calendar month, based on the listing terms at the time, until all quantities sell or the listing is ended by you or ScreenExchange, in its sole discretion,
• Content that violates any of ScreenExchange’s policies may be modified, obfuscated or deleted at ScreenExchange’s sole discretion,
• We may revise product data associated with listings to supplement, remove, or correct information,
• We strive to create a marketplace where buyers find what they are looking for. Therefore, the appearance or placement of listings in search and browse results will depend on a variety of factors, including, but not limited to:
  • buyer’s location, search query, browsing site, and history;
  • item’s location, listing format, price and shipping cost, terms of service, end time, history, and relevance to the user query;
  • Vendor’s history, including listing practices, Detailed Vendor Ratings, ScreenExchange policy compliance, Feedback, and defect rate; and
  • number of listings matching the buyer’s query,
• To drive a positive user experience, a listing may not appear in some search and browse results regardless of the sort order chosen by the buyer,
• Some advanced listing upgrades will only be visible on some of our Services,
• Metatags and URL links that are included in a listing may be removed or altered so as to not affect third-party search engine results,
• We may provide you with optional recommendations to consider when creating your listings. Such recommendations may be based on the aggregated sales and performance history of similar sold and current listings; results may vary for individual listings. To drive the recommendations experience, you agree that we may display the sales and performance history of your individual listings to other Vendors,
• For items listed in certain categories, subject to certain programs, and/or offered or sold at certain price points, ScreenExchange may require the use of certain payment methods. For example, for inventory covered by authentication services, buyer and Vendors may be subject to escrow, screening, shipping, and/or payment handling requirements.

5. Purchase Conditions

When buying an item on our Services, you agree that:

• You are responsible for reading the full item listing before making a bid or committing to buy,
• You enter into a legally binding contract to purchase an item when you commit to buy an item, your offer for an item is accepted, or if you have the winning bid (or your bid is otherwise accepted),
• For motor vehicles and real estate, a bid or offer initiates a non-binding transaction representing a buyer’s serious expression of interest in buying the Vendor’s item and does not create a formal contract between the buyer and the Vendor,
• We do not transfer legal ownership of items from the Vendor to the buyer,
• Utah Code Annotated § 70A-2-401(2) and Uniform Commercial Code § 2-401(2) apply to the transfer of ownership between the buyer and the Vendor, unless the buyer and the Vendor agree otherwise.

5. Content

When you provide content using our Services (directly or indirectly), you grant us a non-exclusive, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, limited-royalty, sub-licensable (through multiple tiers) right to exercise any and all Intellectual Property Rights you have in that content in connection with our provision, expansion, and promotion of our Services, in any media known now or developed in the future. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you waive your right to enforce your Intellectual Property Rights in that content against ScreenExchange, our assignees, our sublicensees, and their assignees in connection with our, those assignees’, and those sublicensees’ use of that content in connection with our provision, expansion, and promotion of our Services.

You represent and warrant that, for all such content you provide, you own or otherwise control all necessary rights to do so and to meet your obligations under this User Agreement. You represent and warrant that such content is accurate. You represent and warrant that use of any such content (including derivative works) by us, our users, or others in contract with us, and in compliance with this User Agreement, does not and will not infringe any Intellectual Property Rights of any third party. ScreenExchange takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content provided by you or any third party.

We offer product data (including images, descriptions and specifications) that are provided by third parties (including ScreenExchange users). You may use that content solely in your ScreenExchange listings. ScreenExchange may modify or revoke that permission at any time in our sole discretion. The product data includes copyrighted, trademarked and other proprietary materials. You agree not to remove any copyright, proprietary, or identification markings in the product data and not to create any derivative works based on that data (other than by including the data in your listings).

We try to offer reliable product data, but cannot promise that the content provided through our Services will always be available, accurate, complete, and up-to-date. You agree that ScreenExchange is not responsible for examining or warranting the listings or content provided by third parties through our Services, and that you will not attempt to hold us or our data providers liable for inaccuracies.

The name “ScreenExchange” and other ScreenExchange marks, logos, designs, and phrases that we use in connection with our Services are trademarks, service marks, or trade dress of ScreenExchange in the U.S. and other countries. They may not be used without the express written prior permission of ScreenExchange.

6. Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations and Copyright Infringement Pursuant to Section 512(c) of Title 17 of the United States Code

We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act. ScreenExchange’s Verified Rights Owner (VeRO) program works to ensure that items and content using our Services do not infringe upon the copyright, trademark, or certain other intellectual property rights of third parties. If you believe that your intellectual property rights have been infringed, please notify our VeRO team and we will investigate.

7. Holds and Restricted Funds

To protect ScreenExchange from risk of liability for your actions as a Vendor, ScreenExchange has at times recommended, and may continue to recommend, that PayPal restrict access to funds in a Vendor’s PayPal account based on certain factors, including, but not limited to, selling history, Vendor performance, returns, riskiness of the listing category, transaction value. This may result in PayPal restricting funds in your PayPal account.

In connection with managed payments as described in Section 14, we may also restrict Vendor access to funds based on the factors described.

8. Additional Terms

Returns and Cancellations

Vendors can create rules to automate replacements, returns, and refunds under certain circumstances. For all new Vendors, in listings where returns are accepted, ScreenExchange will set a default rule that automates the return process. Vendors may remove or customize their return preferences in their account settings within My ScreenExchange.

When an item is returned, to refund the buyer, you (as Vendor) authorize ScreenExchange to request that PayPal remove the refund amount (in same or other currency) from your PayPal account, place the amount on your invoice, and/or charge your payment method on file.

The cost of return shipping for an item that is not as described is the Vendor’s responsibility.

9. Managed Payments

ScreenExchange has launched a managed payments service, where a designated ScreenExchange entity (each, a “payments entity”) manages payments on behalf of Vendors (such management described as “managed payments” or similar). Some ScreenExchange Vendors have already enrolled in managed payments. ScreenExchange anticipates moving more Vendor accounts to managed payments in phases starting in July 2021, providing notice to the affected Vendors as they are scheduled to be moved.

When we enable your account for managed payments, to continue to list and sell on ScreenExchange, as directed by the payments entity, each transitioned ScreenExchange Vendor registered in the US must:

• provide the payments entity with information about you and/or your business to meet its compliance requirements, including those involving identity verification, anti-money laundering controls, and sanctions screening as required by applicable laws and policies; and
• pass such verification and screening and otherwise meet the compliance requirements of the payments entity, as determined by the payments entity; and
• provide bank account information for a U.S.-based checking account so that the payments entity can link such checking account to your ScreenExchange account, allowing the payments entity to pay you.

In addition:

• the payments entity may obtain information about you from third-parties to verify your identity, comply with anti-money laundering and sanctions screening obligations, and for other purposes in connection with managed payments; and
• the payments entity may use third-party payments service providers to assist it in providing managed payments services, including companies that process payments, perform risk assessments (such as credit agencies) or compliance checks, verify identity, and validate payment methods. ScreenExchange, the payments entity, and their affiliates may send personal data associated with you and your account to such third-parties.

The payments entity may, in its sole discretion, manage payments on your behalf even if you haven’t provided all requested information, and the payments entity may withhold payouts pending receipt of such information.

The contract for sale underlying the purchase of goods is directly concluded between Vendor and the buyer in the same manner as for transactions for which the payments entity does not manage payments.

If you are a buyer completing a purchase from a Vendor that is using managed payments:

• You may pay for such items using those payment methods that the payments entity makes available, and the payments entity will manage settlement to Vendors. By completing purchases from Vendors who use managed payments, buyers authorize the payments entity to initiate payments using the buyers’ selected payment method and collect the transaction amounts on behalf of Vendors.  Accordingly, payments received by the payments entity from buyers satisfy buyers’ obligations to pay Vendors in the amount of payments received.
• In certain instances, your transaction may be declined, frozen, or held for any reason including for suspected fraud, AML compliance, compliance with economic or trade sanctions, in connection with ScreenExchange’s internal risk controls or due to potential violations of any policy of ScreenExchange or the payments entity, or a policy of one of the payments entity’s third party payments services providers.
• ScreenExchange, the payments entity or its affiliates may save payment information, such as credit card or debit card numbers, and card expiration dates, entered by you on our Services when you make a purchase, redeem a coupon, or make any other transaction on our Services where card information is entered. Such stored payment information may be used as your default payment method for future transactions on our Services. At any time, you can update your card information or enter new card information, at which point the new card information shall be stored as your default payment method. You may make changes to your default payment method through the Personal Information section under the Account tab in My ScreenExchange. You are responsible for maintaining the accuracy of information we have on file, and you consent to ScreenExchange updating such stored information from time to time based on information provided by you, your bank or other payments services providers. You will only provide information about payment methods that you are authorized to use.
• You agree to comply with, and not cause a third party to violate, all applicable laws, regulations, rules and terms and conditions in connection with the use of managed payments. You understand that some third parties, such as credit and debit card issuers, credit and debit card networks and payments services providers, may have their own terms and conditions for the payment or settlement methods you choose to use in connection with managed payments transactions. Failure to abide by third party terms and conditions may result in fees assessed to you (for example, currency conversion fees from your credit card issuer if the transaction currency is different from your credit card currency) or other actions taken by such third parties, and you agree that the payments entity has no control over, or responsibility or liability for, such fees or actions.

10. Disclaimer of Warranties; Limitation of Liability

We try to keep our Services safe, secure, and functioning properly, but we cannot guarantee the continuous operation of or access to our Services. Bid update and other notification functionality in ScreenExchange’s applications may not occur in real time. Such functionality is subject to delays beyond ScreenExchange’s control.

You agree that you are making use of our Services at your own risk, and that they are being provided to you on an “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE” basis. Accordingly, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we exclude all express or implied warranties, terms and conditions including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement.

In addition, to the extent permitted by applicable law, we (including our parent, subsidiaries, and affiliates, and our and their officers, directors, agents and employees) are not liable, and you agree not to hold us responsible, for any damages or losses (including, but not limited to, loss of money, goodwill or reputation, profits, other intangible losses, or any special, indirect, or consequential damages) resulting directly or indirectly from:

• the content you provide (directly or indirectly) using our Services;
• your use of or your inability to use our Services;
• pricing, shipping, format, or other guidance provided by ScreenExchange;
• delays or disruptions in our Services;
• viruses or other malicious software obtained by accessing or linking to our Services;
• glitches, bugs, errors, or inaccuracies of any kind in our Services;
• damage to your hardware device from the use of any ScreenExchange Service;
• the content, actions, or inactions of third parties, including items listed using our Services or the destruction of allegedly fake items;
• a suspension or other action taken with respect to your account or breach of the Abusing ScreenExchange Section above;
• the duration or manner in which your listings appear in search results as set out in the Listing Conditions Section above; or
• your need to modify practices, content, or behavior, or your loss of or inability to do business, as a result of changes to this User Agreement or our policies.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer of warranties or exclusion of damages, so such disclaimers and exclusions may not apply to you.

Regardless of the previous paragraphs, if we are found to be liable, our liability to you or to any third party is limited to the greater of the amount of fees in dispute not to exceed the total fees, which you paid to us in the 12 months prior to the action giving rise to the liability, or $100.

11. Release

If you have a dispute with one or more users, you release us (and our affiliates and subsidiaries, and our and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents) from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with such disputes. In entering into this release you expressly waive any protections (whether statutory or otherwise) that would otherwise limit the coverage of this release to include only those claims which you may know or suspect to exist in your favor at the time of agreeing to this release.

12. Indemnity

You will indemnify and hold us (including our affiliates and subsidiaries, as well as our and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents) harmless from any claim or demand, including reasonable legal fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your breach of this User Agreement, your improper use of our Services or your breach of any law or the rights of a third party.

13. Legal Disputes

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND SCREENEXCHANGE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.

In this Legal Disputes Section, the term “related third parties” includes your and ScreenExchange’s respective affiliates, subsidiaries, parent companies, predecessors, successors, assigns, as well as your, ScreenExchange’s, and these entities’ respective employees and agents.

You and ScreenExchange agree that any claim or dispute at law or equity that has arisen, or may arise, between you and ScreenExchange (or any related third parties) that relates in any way to or arises out of this or previous versions of this User Agreement, your use of or access to the Services, the actions of ScreenExchange or its agents, or any products or services sold or purchased through the Services, will be resolved in accordance with the provisions set forth in this Legal Disputes Section.

A. Applicable Law

You agree that, except to the extent inconsistent with or preempted by federal law, the laws of the State of Virginia, without regard to principles of conflict of laws, will govern this User Agreement and any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and ScreenExchange, except as otherwise stated in this User Agreement.

B. Agreement to Arbitrate

You and ScreenExchange each agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen, or may arise, between you and ScreenExchange (or any related third parties) that relate in any way to or arise out of this or previous versions of the User Agreement, your use of or access to our Services, the actions of ScreenExchange or its agents, or any products or services sold, offered, or purchased through our Services shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court. Alternatively, you may assert your claims in small claims court, if your claims qualify and so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Agreement to Arbitrate.

1. Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief YOU AND SCREENEXCHANGE AGREE THAT EACH OF US MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, OR REPRESENTATIVE OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. UNLESS BOTH YOU AND SCREENEXCHANGE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE OR JOIN MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S OR PARTY’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A CONSOLIDATED, REPRESENTATIVE, CLASS, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR PROCEEDING. ALSO, THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S). ANY RELIEF AWARDED CANNOT AFFECT OTHER USERS. If a court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or a particular request for a remedy (such as a request for injunctive relief), then that claim or that remedy request (and only that claim or that remedy request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court, subject to your and ScreenExchange’s right to appeal the court’s decision. All other claims will be arbitrated.
2. Arbitration Procedures Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is very limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individualized basis that a court can award to an individual. An arbitrator should apply the terms of the User Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to arbitrability, the scope or enforceability of this Agreement to Arbitrate, or the interpretation of Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), shall be for a court of competent jurisdiction to decide.
   The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Consumer Arbitration Rules and the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules (as applicable), as modified by this Agreement to Arbitrate. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org. In the event that the AAA is unavailable to administer the arbitration, another administrator will be selected by the parties or the court.
   A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a valid Notice of Dispute (“Notice”).
   The Notice to ScreenExchange must be sent to ScreenExchange Inc., Attn: Litigation Department, Re: Notice of Dispute, 29 Franklin Street, Petersburg, Virginia 23803. ScreenExchange will send any Notice to you to the physical address we have on file associated with your ScreenExchange account; it is your responsibility to keep your physical address up to date. To be valid, you must personally sign the Notice and complete all information on the Notice form, including a description of the nature and basis of the claims you are asserting, the specific relief sought, and the email address and phone number associated with your account.
   If you and ScreenExchange are unable to resolve the claims described in a valid Notice within 30 days after ScreenExchange receives that Notice, you or ScreenExchange may initiate arbitration proceedings. A form for initiating arbitration proceedings is available on the AAA’s site at www.adr.org. In addition to filing this form with the AAA in accordance with its rules and procedures, the party initiating the arbitration must mail a copy of the completed form to the opposing party. You may send a copy to ScreenExchange at the following address: ScreenExchange, 29 Franklin Street, Petersburg, Virginia 23803. In the event ScreenExchange initiates an arbitration against you, it will send a copy of the completed form to the physical address we have on file associated with your ScreenExchange account. Any settlement offer made by you or ScreenExchange shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
   The arbitration hearing shall be held in the county in which you reside or at another mutually agreed location. Where no disclosed claims or counterclaims exceed $25,000, the dispute shall be resolved by the submission of documents only, subject to the arbitrator’s discretion to require an in-person hearing, if the circumstances warrant. In cases where an in-person hearing is held, you and/or ScreenExchange may attend by telephone, unless the arbitrator requires otherwise.
   The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, including recognized principles of equity, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different users, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same ScreenExchange user to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
3. Costs of Arbitration Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules, unless otherwise stated in this Agreement to Arbitrate. If you complied with the Notice of Dispute procedures of Section 2 of this Agreement (“Arbitration Procedures”) and the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, ScreenExchange will pay all administration and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by ScreenExchange should be submitted by mail to the AAA along with your Demand for Arbitration and ScreenExchange will make arrangements to pay administration and arbitrator fees directly to the AAA. In the event the arbitrator determines the claim(s) you assert in the arbitration to be frivolous, you agree to reimburse ScreenExchange for all fees associated with the arbitration paid by ScreenExchange on your behalf that you otherwise would be obligated to pay under the AAA’s rules.
4. Severability With the exception of any of the provisions in Section 1 of this Agreement to Arbitrate (“Prohibition of Class and Representative Actions and Non-Individualized Relief”), if an arbitrator or court decides that any part of this Agreement to Arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, the other parts of this Agreement to Arbitrate shall still apply.
5. Opt-Out Procedure IF YOU ARE A NEW USER OF OUR SERVICES, YOU CAN CHOOSE TO REJECT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE (“OPT-OUT”) BY MAILING US A WRITTEN OPT-OUT NOTICE (“OPT-OUT NOTICE”). THE OPT-OUT NOTICE MUST BE POSTMARKED NO LATER THAN 30 DAYS AFTER THE DATE YOU ACCEPT THE USER AGREEMENT FOR THE FIRST TIME. YOU MUST MAIL THE OPT-OUT NOTICE TO SCREENEXCHANGE., ATTN: LITIGATION DEPARTMENT, RE: OPT-OUT NOTICE, 29 Franklin Street, Petersburg, Virginia 23803.
   
6. Future Amendments to the Agreement to Arbitrate Notwithstanding any provision in the User Agreement to the contrary, you and we agree that if we make any amendment to this Agreement to Arbitrate (other than an amendment to any notice address or site link provided herein) in the future, that amendment shall not apply to any claim that was filed in a legal proceeding against ScreenExchange prior to the effective date of the amendment. The amendment shall apply to all other disputes or claims governed by the Agreement to Arbitrate that have arisen or may arise between you and ScreenExchange. We will notify you of amendments to this Agreement to Arbitrate by posting the amended terms on www.ScreenExchange.com at least 30 days before the effective date of the amendments and by providing notice through the ScreenExchange Message Center and/or by email. If you do not agree to these amended terms, you may close your account within the 30-day period and you will not be bound by the amended terms.

C. Judicial Forum for Legal Disputes

Unless you and we agree otherwise, in the event that the Agreement to Arbitrate above is found not to apply to you or to a particular claim or dispute, either as a result of your decision to opt out of the Agreement to Arbitrate or as a result of a decision by the arbitrator or a court order, you agree that any claim or dispute that has arisen or may arise between you and ScreenExchange must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Petersburg, Virginia. You and ScreenExchange agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Petersburg, Virginia for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

19. General

Except as otherwise provided in this User Agreement, if any provision of this User Agreement is held to be invalid, void or for any reason unenforceable, such provision shall be struck out and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. In our sole discretion, we may assign this User Agreement, and in such event, we will post notice on our webpage.
