PLAYCE specifically prohibits the posting of any content that violates or infringes the

contained on the Services infringes your copyright or other intellectual property rights,
you should notify us of your copyright infringement claim in accordance with the
following procedure. PLAYCE will process notices of alleged infringement which it receives and will take appropriate action as required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). The DMCA requires that notifications of claimed copyright infringement
should be sent to the address in the “Contact Us” section below.
To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information
(DMCA, 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)): (i) a physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
(ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple
copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a
representative list of such works at that site; (iii) identification of the material that is
claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be
removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to
permit the service provider to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient
to permit the service provider 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; (v) 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 (vi) a statement that the information in the

authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

All disputes arising under these Terms shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of New York, without regard to principles of conflict of laws.
The parties to these Terms will submit all disputes arising under this agreement to
arbitration in Niagara County, New York, before a single arbitrator of the American
Arbitration Association (“AAA”). The arbitrator shall be selected by application of the
rules of the AAA, or by mutual agreement of the parties, except that such arbitrator shall
be an attorney admitted to practice law in New York. No party to these Terms will
challenge the jurisdiction or venue provisions as provided in this section. Nothing

ANY ARBITRATION OR COURT TRIAL RELATED TO ANY CLAIM UNDER THESE

REFERENCE, WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS, WITHOUT RESORT
TO ANY FORM OF CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION (“CLASS ACTION
WAIVER”). THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER PRECLUDES ANY PARTY FROM
PARTICIPATING IN OR BEING REPRESENTED IN ANY CLASS OR
REPRESENTATIVE ACTION REGARDING A CLAIM UNDER THESE TERMS.
REGARDLESS OF ANYTHING ELSE HEREIN, THE VALIDITY AND EFFECT OF THE

I give PLAYCE Studio Ltd. and its agents the absolute right and permission to take and use photos, videos and audio recordings of me in their promotional materials and publicity efforts without further authorization and without any compensation. Subscribers acknowledge that photographs may be used in a publication, print ad, direct-mail piece, electronic media (e.g. video, CD-ROM, Internet, Web), or any other form of promotion. Subscribers effectively release PLAYCE Studio Ltd., its officers, employees, agents and designees from liability for any violation of any personal and/or proprietary rights they may have in connection with such use.
If any term or provision of these Terms shall be held or declared to be invalid or
unenforceable for any reason by any court of competent jurisdiction, such term or
provision shall be deemed null and void and shall not affect the application and/or
interpretation of these Terms. The remaining terms or provisions of these Terms shall
continue in full force and effect, as if the invalid or unenforceable term or provision was
not a part of these Terms. The headings in these Terms are for reference only and shall
have no effect on the interpretation or application of these Terms. PLAYCE’s failure to
enforce a breach by you of these Terms shall not waive or release you from such

breach by you of these Terms. These Terms represent the entire understanding and
agreement between PLAYCE and you with respect to the subject matter hereof.
