Terms Of Service

Last Updated: June 25, 2008

JibJab Media Inc. ("JibJab") is a Delaware corporation that: (i) creates, produces and distributes entertainment content (as used herein, "content" shall include, without limitation, audio, visual, audiovisual, text and other elements and materials, in any media or format now known or hereinafter devised, whether physical, electronic, digital, analog or otherwise); (ii) offers users the opportunity to participate in community media applications by submitting (e.g., "uploading") content wholly- owned and/or controlled by such users (the "User Materials," as further defined below) to the JibJab.com website or any successor(s) thereto and/or assigns thereof (the "JibJab Site(s)") so that such User Materials can be distributed to the general public via the JibJab Sites and any licensees or sublicensees thereof; and (iii) offers social networking services that allow registered members to create unique personal profiles online in order to find and communicate with old and new friends (collectively, the "Services").

These Terms of Service (this "Agreement") set forth certain terms and conditions of the legal contract between you ("User") and JibJab with respect to User’s use of the Services, whether as a registered member ("Member") or unregistered visitor. If User makes any purchases on or through the JibJab Site(s), User agrees to be also bound by the JibJab Terms of Sale (“Terms of Sale”) (click here).

1. TERM/FEES:

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect while User uses the JibJab Site(s), the Services, and/or is a Member. User may terminate his/her membership at any time, for any reason by following the instructions on the member Account page. JibJab may terminate your membership at any time, for any reason, effective immediately upon sending notice to you at the email address you provide in your Membership application or such other email address as you may subsequently provide to JibJab. If JibJab terminates User's Membership in the Service due to a breach of this Agreement, User shall not be entitled to the refund of any unused portion of subscription fees (if any). Even after membership is terminated, this Agreement will remain in full force and effect, as the terms hereof are not conditioned upon membership, provided, however, that User Materials submitted by you as part of JibJab's social networking service will no longer be accessible on the JibJab Sites by other Members once you have cancelled your account. Notwithstanding the foregoing, User acknowledges that once User Materials are integrated into a JibJab production (e.g., photos, audio files or videos integrated within an animation, promotion, video or any JibJab production, regardless of media format) the license terms for such materials, as detailed in Section 6 of this Agreement, shall extend in perpetuity. By using the Service and/or by becoming a Member, User acknowledges that JibJab reserves the right to charge for the Service and has the right to terminate a Member's Membership should Member breach this Agreement or fail to pay for the Service, as required by this Agreement. JibJab's subscription fees at registration (if any) may change from time to time.

2. ELIGIBILITY:

Membership in the Service is void where prohibited. By using the JibJab Services, User represents and warrants that all registration information submitted is truthful and accurate and Users agrees to maintain the accuracy of such information. User further represents and warrants that User is 14 years of age or older and that User's use of the Services shall not violate any applicable law or regulation. Users profile may be deleted without warning, if it is found that User is misrepresenting his/her age or any other membership data. Membership is solely for personal use, and User shall not authorize others to use his/her account, including profile or email address. User is solely responsible for all content (including, without limitation, User Materials) published or displayed through User's account or otherwise on the JibJab sites, including any email messages, and for User's interactions with other members.

3. USER CONDUCT:

User agrees to act responsibly in a manner demonstrating the exercise of good judgment. For example and without limitation, User agrees not to: (a) violate any applicable law or regulation, (b) submit any materials prohibited under Section 12(f) of this Agreement, (c) infringe the rights of any third party, including without limitation, intellectual property, privacy, publicity and/or contractual rights, (d) use the content and information available through JibJab's Service for any unauthorized purpose, (e) interfere with or damage JibJab's Service, including, without limitation, through the use of viruses, cancel bots, Trojan horses, harmful code, flood pings, denial of service attacks, packet or IP spoofing, forged routing or electronic mail address information or similar methods or technology, (f) use JibJab's Service to transmit, distribute, post or submit any information concerning any other person or entity, including without limitation, photographs of others, personal contact information or account numbers, or any defamatory materials of any kind, except where User has obtained express permission from such other person or entity in connection with any of the foregoing, (g) use JibJab's Service in connection with the distribution of unsolicited commercial e-mail ("Spam") or advertisements, (h) "stalk" or harass any other user of JibJab's Service, (i) collect or store any information about any other user other than in the course of the permitted use of JibJab's Service, (j) use JibJab's Service for any commercial purpose whatsoever (including, without limitation, to advertise, market, promote, sell or otherwise exploit any product or service), (k) sell or otherwise transfer any User information (e.g., user profiles) or other user's User Materials); or (l) assist any third party in doing any of the foregoing.

User is solely responsible for User's interactions with other users of JibJab's Service. JibJab will not be responsible for any damage or harm resulting from User's interactions with other users of JibJab's Service. JibJab reserves the right, but shall have no obligation, to monitor interactions between User and other users of JibJab's Service and take any action in good faith to restrict access to or the availability of any material that JibJab or another user of JibJab's Service may consider to be obscene, lewd, defamatory, lascivious, filthy, excessively violent, harassing or otherwise objectionable.

User's JibJab member profile may not include the following items: telephone numbers, street addresses, last names, and any photographs may not contain nudity, violence, or offensive subject matter. Information provided by other JibJab Members (for instance, in their Profile) may contain inaccurate, inappropriate or offensive material, products or services and JibJab assumes no responsibility or liability for this material.

4. PRIVACY:

JibJab's Service is designed to allow users to post content (e.g., photographs and information about themselves) for public review and comment, both in public forums and with private messaging. Accordingly, by submitting User Materials and/or any personal information to the JibJab Site(s), User thereby waives any and all privacy expectations (including the privacy expectations of any other individual who appears in the User Materials or otherwise) with respect to JibJab's use of the User Materials. If User chooses not to have his/her content, picture, video, or any other profile information about themselves viewable by a global audience, User should not use JibJab's Service.
