5.
Information Provided by First Stoke.
Although First Stoke strives to provide Materials that are both useful
and accurate, the nature of the data and other information contained on the
Site is subject to frequent change. In addition, the facts and circumstances
of every situation differ. Accordingly, although First Stoke endeavors
to use reasonable care in assembling the Materials, the Materials may not be
up-to-date, accurate or complete.
In addition, portions of the Materials have been contributed to the Site
by various artists, and other persons. The inclusion of such information
does not indicate any approval or endorsement thereof, and First Stoke
expressly disclaims any liability with respect to the foregoing.
Forums and Submissions. Please note that we and our
designees host message boards, blog feeds and other forums found on the Site
(collectively, the “Forums”), and you may have the ability
to provide or upload to First Stoke creative suggestions, ideas, notes,
concepts, information, content, audio recordings, videos, photographs, graphics,
artwork or other copyrighted works and materials (collectively, “Submissions”).
By sending or transmitting Submissions to us, or by posting such Submissions
to any area of the Site, you grant us and our designees a perpetual, worldwide,
non-exclusive, unlimited, transferable, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers),
assignable, royalty-free, irrevocable right and license to use, reproduce, distribute

portion thereof, in any manner and context (including but not limited to usage
in commercial, advertising or promotional materials), now known or in the future
discovered, in First Stoke's sole discretion, in any way, in any and
all media now known or hereinafter discovered, without limitation and without
any compensation or acknowledgment to you or any third party. None of the Submissions
will be subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution or
otherwise, on our part and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of
any Submissions. If First Stoke does decide, in its sole discretion,
to attribute a Submission to you, you hereby grant First Stoke the right
to use your member name with respect to such attribution, and waive any claims
(including, without limitation, any privacy or publicity rights claims) with
respect to such use of your member name.
You further acknowledge that First Stoke (a) is under no obligation
to post, display or otherwise use any Submission, and (b) has no obligation
whatsoever to pay you any royalty or other amounts on any revenues or other
consideration that First Stoke receives directly or indirectly from the
use or display of your Submission or otherwise from the exercise of First Stoke's
rights granted under this Agreement. You hereby agree not to instigate,
support, maintain, or authorize any action, claim, or lawsuit against First
Stoke or its owners/operators, affiliates, and/or licensors, or any other
person, on the grounds that any use of a Submission, or any derivative works
thereof, infringe any of your rights as creator of the Submission, including,
without limitation, trademark rights, copyrights, publicity rights, privacy
rights, and moral rights or “droit moral.”
Information on our Forums may be provided by our staff and other contributors,
some of whom use anonymous screen names and are people not otherwise connected
with First Stoke. You acknowledge that a large volume of information
is available in our Forums and that people participating in such Forums occasionally
post messages or make statements, whether intentionally or unintentionally,
that are inaccurate, offensive, indecent, objectionable, obscene, threatening,
harassing or encourages any such conduct, or that otherwise violate any of the
Codes of Conduct, and you agree to waive, and hereby do waive, any legal or
equitable rights or remedies you have or may have against First Stoke
with respect thereto. We neither endorse nor are responsible for such
messages or statements, or for any opinion, advice, information or other utterance
made or displayed on the Site or Forums by third parties, whether such third
parties are visitors to the Site, members of the First Stoke community
or others. The opinions expressed in the Forums reflect solely the opinion(s)
of the participants and may not reflect the opinion(s) of First Stoke.
We are not responsible for any errors or omissions in articles or postings,
for hyperlinks embedded in messages or for any results obtained from the use
of such information. Under no circumstances will we or our affiliates,
suppliers or agents be liable for any loss or damage caused by your reliance
on such information obtained through the Site. If notified by a user of
a Submission that allegedly does not conform to this Agreement, First Stoke
may in its sole discretion investigate the allegation and determine in good
faith and in its sole discretion whether to remove the Submission.
Subject to the rights and licenses you grant to First Stoke under
this Agreement, you retain all rights to the ownership and use of your Submissions.

years old or are an emancipated minor and have the right to submit the Submission

or legal guardian's express consent to submit the Submission and to grant the
licenses provided hereunder.

copyright or other proprietary or intellectual property rights in and to any

and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission of each and
every identifiable individual person in the Submission to use the name or likeness
of such person in the manner contemplated by the Site and this Agreement or,
if such persons are minors, the written consent, release, and/or permission
of such minor’s parent or legal guardian.
We have no obligation to monitor the Site, the Forums, or any Submissions
that you or other third parties transmit or post on the Site or the Forums.
You acknowledge and agree that we have the right (but not the obligation) to
monitor the Site and the Forums and the Submissions that you transmit or post;

posting to a Forum); to disclose such Submissions and the circumstances surrounding
their transmission to any third party in order to operate the Site properly;
to protect ourselves, our sponsors and our members and visitors; and to comply

6.
Links.
The Site contains links to other Internet websites,
including affiliated websites which may or may not be owned or operated by First
Stoke. First Stoke has not reviewed all of the websites
that are linked to the Site, and First Stoke has no control over such
sites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, First Stoke is not responsible
for the content of such websites, any updates or changes to such sites, or the
privacy or other practices of such sites, and the fact that First Stoke
offers such links does not indicate any approval or endorsement of any material
contained on any linked site. First Stoke is providing these links
to you only as a convenience. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to
become familiar with the terms of use and practices of any linked site.
Further, it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you
select or software you download (whether from the Site or other sites) is free
of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs
and other items of a destructive nature.
YOU
AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OTHER INTERNET WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION, YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS,
OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, IS AT
YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE APPLICABLE TO
SUCH SITES AND RESOURCES.
7.
Claims of Copyright Infringement.
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act
of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that
material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright
law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by First Stoke
infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted by First Stoke
on one of our Forums), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that
the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include
the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
(or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the
material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity,
and information reasonably sufficient to allow First Stoke to locate
the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email
address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) 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 (f) 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. Additionally,
if you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been
wrongly filed by First Stoke against you, the DMCA permits you to send
First Stoke a counter-notice.
Notices
and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed
by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/
for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should
be sent to info@firststoke.com. We suggest that you consult your
legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware
that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
8.
Ownership and Restrictions on Use. The Site
is owned and operated by First Stoke in conjunction with others pursuant
to contractual arrangements, and the Materials (and any intellectual property
and other rights relating thereto) are and will remain the property of First
Stoke and its licensors and suppliers. The Materials and the selection,
compilation, collection, arrangement and assembly thereof are protected by U.S.
and international copyright, trademark and other laws, and you acknowledge that
these rights are valid and enforceable.
The trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively
the “Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered trademarks
of First Stoke, First Stoke's licensors and suppliers, and others.
The Trademarks owned by First Stoke, whether registered or unregistered,
may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not First
Stoke's, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion with customers,
or in any manner that disparages First Stoke. Nothing contained
on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise,
any license or right to use any Trademark without the express written permission
of First Stoke, First Stoke's licensors or suppliers, or the third party
owner of any such Trademark. Misuse of any Trademarks is prohibited, and
First Stoke will aggressively enforce its intellectual property rights
in such Trademarks, including via civil and criminal proceedings.
9.
Access By Minors. Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section
230 (d), as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections
(such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially
available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful
to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections
is available on the two websites GetNetWise (http://kids.getnetwise.org/)
and OnGuard Online (http://onguardonline.gov/).
Please note that First Stoke does not endorse any of the products or
services listed at such websites.
10.
Jurisdictional Issues. The Site is solely
directed to individuals residing in the United States. We make no representation
that Materials available on or through the Site are appropriate or available
for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Site from other
locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible
for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site and/or the provision
of any service, program, film or other product described thereon to any person,
geographic area or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and
to limit the quantities of any such service, program, film or other product
that we provide.
11.
Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests and Games.
In addition to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, any sweepstakes,
contests, games or similar promotions (collectively, "Promotions") made available
through the Site may be governed by specific rules that are separate from this
Agreement. By participating in any such Promotion, you will become subject
to those rules, which may vary from the terms and conditions set forth herein.
First Stoke urges you to review any specific rules applicable to a particular
Promotion, which will be linked from such Promotion, and to review our
Privacy Policy which, in addition
to this Agreement, governs any information you submit in connection with such
activities. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules
conflict with this Agreement, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control
with respect to the particular Promotion.
12.
Termination. This Agreement shall remain effective
until terminated in accordance with its terms. We reserve the right to
immediately terminate this Agreement, and/or your access to and use of the Site
or any portion thereof, at any time and for any reason, with or without cause.
Upon termination of this Agreement, your right to use the Site shall immediately
cease, and you shall destroy all Materials obtained from the Site and all copies
thereof, whether made under the terms of this Agreement or otherwise.
You agree that any termination of your access to or use of the Site may be effected
without prior notice, and that First Stoke may immediately deactivate
or delete your password and user name, and all related information and files
associated with it, and/or bar any further access to such information or files.
You agree that First Stoke shall not be liable to you or any third party
for any termination of your access to the Site or to any such information or
files, and shall not be required to make such information or files available
to you after any such termination.
13.
