Embedded Video Links.
Certain pages of the Websites provide the functionality for you to “embed” videos appearing on the page on other web sites or blog pages (together with the Player, as defined herein, the “Embedded Video”). The functionality is provided by giving you the necessary HTML code to include on such page to make that Embedded Video appear.

You may not block, inhibit, build upon or disable any portion of the Player, including without limitation links back to our site.

You must use the Content Feeds as provided by ORIGIN MEDIA, and you may not edit or modify the text, content or links supplied by ORIGIN MEDIA. The applicable Content Feed service may be used only with those platforms from which a functional link is made available that, when accessed, takes the viewer directly to the display of the full article on the Websites. You may not display the ORIGIN MEDIA Content in a manner that does not permit successful linking to, redirection to or delivery of the applicable Website web page. You may not insert any intermediate page, splash page or other content between the Content Feed link and the applicable Website web page.

Applicable Laws.
We control and operate the Websites from our offices in the United States of America. We do not represent that materials on the Websites are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Persons who choose to access the Websites from other locations do so on their own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable. These Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington, USA without giving effect to any law that would result in the application of the law of another jurisdiction.

ORIGIN MEDIA may terminate, change, suspend or discontinue any aspect of the Websites or the Websites’ services at any time.

Dispute Resolution.
PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS.
Except for either party’s claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret, any and all disputes between you and ORIGIN MEDIA arising under or related in any way to these Terms of Use, must be resolved through binding arbitration as described in this section. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be interpreted broadly. It includes, but is not limited to, all claims and disputes relating to your use of any of the Websites. YOU AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND ORIGIN MEDIA ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. YOU AND ORIGIN MEDIA AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. ANY ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED. The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS in accordance with its then-current Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) and will be held in New York, New York. The arbitration will be conducted by one neutral arbitrator chosen by the parties. If the parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator, they shall submit to the procedure used by JAMS to choose an arbitrator. The current rules may be found on the Internet at: http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. This arbitration agreement is made pursuant to a transaction involving interstate commerce, and shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”), 9 U.S.C. §§116. The arbitrator shall apply New York law, as described in Section 24 (Applicable Laws), consistent with the FAA and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law. Notwithstanding anything herein or in the JAMS Rules to the contrary, the arbitrator shall not have the power to award punitive damages against you or ORIGIN MEDIA. The arbitrator’s ruling is binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. In the event this agreement to arbitrate is held unenforceable by a court, then the disputes that would otherwise have been arbitrated shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in the City of Seattle and county of King, Washington. Claims of infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall be exclusively brought in the state and federal courts located in the City of Seattle and county of King, Washington
Miscellaneous.
These Terms of Use (including the Privacy Policy) constitute the entire agreement between you and us regarding the use of the Websites. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the Terms of Use is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms of Use remain in full force and effect.
