In connection with User Content, you represent and warrant that you will not: (a) upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any material that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret, or otherwise subject to third party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you are the owner of such rights or have permission from their rightful owner to upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make the material available and to grant 8AM all of the license rights granted herein; (b) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations, any information that, out of context, is misleading or any other information that could damage 8AM or any third party; (c) upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any material that contains any unsolicited or unauthorized advertising, promotional materials, or material which can be characterized as “junk mail,” “spam,” “chain letters,” “pyramid schemes,” “Ponzi schemes” or similar material, or any information posted primarily for advertising, promotional, or other commercial purposes, including without limitation any request for or solicitation of money, goods, or services for private gain; or (d) upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any material that is otherwise offensive or inappropriate.

Unless otherwise indicated, everything you see, hear, or otherwise experience through this Site and the Subscription Offerings, including but not limited to the graphics, videos, text, software, photographs, scripts, interactive features and the like (collectively, “Content”) and the trademarks, service marks and logos contained therein (“Marks”), are owned by or licensed to 8AM, and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property rights under United States (the “U.S.”) and foreign laws and international conventions. 8AM owns the copyright in the selection, coordination, arrangement, and enhancement of the Content.

NOTICE AND PROCEDURE FOR MAKING CLAIMS OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT
If you are an intellectual property owner or an agent thereof and believe that either (a) any Content or User Content on the Site or (b) any material or activity contained on an online location to which 8AM has referred or linked users, infringes upon your intellectual property rights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing us with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and 512(d) for further detail):
a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the Site;
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 us to locate the material (or in the case of referrals or links that are claimed to lead to infringing material or activity, identification of the reference or link that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that reference or link);
information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;
a statement that you have 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
a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Notification pursuant to the DMCA should be submitted to:
8 AM Golf Holdings LLC
6 East 43rd Street
New York, New York 10017
Attention: Gregg Freedman
Email: gfreedman@milsteinbrothers.com
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. Emails or notices sent to 8AM without a proper subject line, or for purposes other than communication about intellectual property claims, may not be acknowledged or responded to. 8AM will terminate repeat infringers from further use of the Site.
TRADEMARKS AND CELEBRITY MATERIAL
8AM responds to complaints that User Content infringes trademarks or celebrity material. Trademarks include logos, brand names, and trade dress, which is the distinctive visual appearance of a product or its packaging.
Please be aware that celebrities, and sometimes others, may have a “right of publicity,” which means that they may have a right to control commercial uses of their name, image, likeness, and other aspects of their identity. Although you may be a fan, you risk misappropriating celebrity rights if you use a celebrity name or likeness on the Site and you do not have the celebrity’s permission.
If you are a trademark owner or a celebrity and you believe your rights have been infringed or misappropriated on the Site, please submit a notification of infringement or misappropriation to our agent listed in Section 8 above.
To submit a notification, you must be the trademark owner or celebrity or an authorized agent of the trademark owner or celebrity.
When submitting a notification of trademark or trade dress infringement, provide a copy of the relevant trademark or trade dress registration(s) from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Please also provide the location on the Site where you believe the infringement is occurring.
USER ACCOUNTS
If you register for an account to use our Site, including to access the Subscription Offerings, you must provide accurate account information and ensure that you maintain the accuracy of this information at all times. You also must maintain the security of your account (including by logging out of your account at the end of each session), and promptly notify us if you discover or suspect that someone has accessed your account or your account credentials without your permission. If you permit others to use your account, you are responsible for the activities of those users. We reserve the right to reclaim usernames for any reason, including on behalf of businesses or individuals that hold trademark rights or other legal claims in those usernames and/or if we determine, in our sole discretion, that such username is inappropriate, obscene, or otherwise objectionable.
SUBSCRIPTION OFFERINGS
We reserve the right to limit the quantities of the Subscription Offerings offered or available on the Site. All descriptions or pricing of the Subscription Offerings are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any Subscription Offerings at any time for any reason. We do not warrant that the quality of any of the Subscription Offerings purchased by you will meet your expectations or that any errors in the Site will be corrected.
If you purchase the Subscription Offering, your account will “auto-renew” for subsequent subscription periods of equal length until you cancel your subscription (set it not to renew) or we terminate it. The subscription period and the cost of the subscription (during and after any initial promotional period) are disclosed via the Site prior to purchase. We automatically bill your payment method upon the expiration of your current subscription period. You may cancel your subscription at any time by clicking on the cancel link in the account section of your subscription account dashboard and you will continue to have access through the end of your subscription period (or free trial period, if applicable). You will not have the right to receive any pro-rated refunds if you cancel your subscription period early. You must cancel your subscription at least 3 days before the end of your current subscription period in order to avoid being billed for the next subscription period.
Your subscription may start with a free trial. 8AM reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to determine your free trial eligibility. Our Site will indicate whether or not the free trial will automatically convert to a paid subscription upon expiration of the trial period. If so, unless you cancel your subscription prior to the end of the free trial period, we will begin billing your payment method on a recurring basis for your subscription upon expiration of the free trial period until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it.
PURCHASES AND PAYMENT
Prices for Subscription Offerings are subject to change at any time, but changes will not affect any purchase you have already placed except that for auto-renewing subscriptions, price changes will take effect when indicated in our email notice to you.
To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you are responsible for any applicable sales, use, duty, customs or other governmental taxes, levies or fees (“Taxes”) due with respect to your purchase of a Subscription Offering. We will present an estimate of Taxes we collect at checkout, except where we have clearly stated in writing that a price includes Taxes. For U.S. users, the actual Taxes charged may be adjusted from the amount shown at checkout. Several factors may cause this, such as variances between processor programs and changes in tax rates. You may have a duty to directly report and pay Taxes if we do not collect such Taxes.
Only valid payment methods acceptable to us may be used to complete a purchase for a Subscription Offering. You represent and warrant that you are authorized to use your designated payment method. You authorize us to charge your designated payment method for the total amount of your purchase (including any applicable taxes and any shipping and handling charges). If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts.
In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct the error and revise your purchase accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the purchase and refund any amount charged.
Except to the extent refunds are required by law, payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds. However, we may, in our sole discretion, provide a refund or discount in certain cases.

The provisions of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (CISG) are expressly excluded in their entirety from these Terms of Use. We make no representation that our Site is appropriate, legal, or available for use outside of the U.S.
All claims and disputes, including all statutory claims and disputes, arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use or your use of the Site and Subscription Offerings will be finally resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, except that you and 8AM are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable relief for alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents in the courts of New York, New York, U.S. This means that, except for the equitable relief described in the previous sentence, neither 8AM nor you will sue in court before a judge or jury. 8AM and you are also agreeing that no dispute subject to the terms of this Section 21 will be resolved as a class. Instead, one neutral arbitrator will decide the dispute, and the arbitrator’s decision will be final except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only for the individual claims between 8AM and you.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), in accordance with its rules of practice and procedure (the “Rules”), except to the extent they conflict with these Terms of Use. If the AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum. The arbitrator will be bound to follow applicable federal and state laws and regulations in deciding all issues and in rendering any award. 8AM and you will be entitled to invoke the rules of discovery applicable to state court proceedings. The arbitration proceedings will be conclusive and not appealable, and any party to any award rendered in any arbitration proceeding will be entitled to have judgment entered on that award. Any relief awarded in arbitration cannot affect other end users and will be kept confidential. The number of arbitrators shall be one, selected in accordance with the Rules, and the language of the arbitration will be English. The arbitration will be held in New York, New York, U.S. If you demand arbitration first, you will pay the claimant’s initial arbitration filing fees or case management fees required by the Rules up to one hundred twenty-five U.S. Dollars ($125.00), and 8AM will pay any additional initial filing fee or case management fee. Notwithstanding any contrary provisions in the Rules but subject to the previous sentence, each party shall bear its own costs and expenses of the arbitration and one-half of the fees and costs for the arbitrator unless the arbitrator determines the fees and costs should be borne by one of the parties. The arbitrator may not award or assess punitive damages against either party.
8AM AND YOU AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDINGS TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE WILL BE CONDUCTED INDIVIDUALLY ONLY. Neither 8AM nor you will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, a class wide arbitration, a private attorney-general action, or any other proceeding in which either of 8AM or You act(s) or propose(s) to act as a representative for others. 8AM and you also agree that no arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another arbitration or proceeding without the written consent of 8AM, you, and every other party to that arbitration or proceeding. Without the written consent of 8AM, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative or class proceeding.
ANY LEGAL ACTION BROUGHT BY YOU AGAINST 8AM OR ANY OF THE 8AM PARTIES MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR OF THE DATE ON WHICH SUCH LEGAL CLAIMS WOULD ORDINARILY ACCRUE UNDER THE APPLICABLE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS OR SIMILAR TEMPORAL DEADLINE FOR COMMENCING A LEGAL ACTION.
This Section 21 may be amended from time to time in accordance with Section 1 of these Terms of Use.

GENERAL TERMS
These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between the parties and supersede all other agreements, statements, and other arrangements between the parties in relation to the subject matter hereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the preceding sentence will not supersede any separate agreements you may enter into with 8AM (including without limitation an agreement to provide Content for the Site). If any provision of these Terms of Use are held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction, to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, such provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary and replaced with a valid provision that best embodies the intent of these Terms of Use, so that these Terms of Use shall remain in full force and effect. Each party acknowledges that it has not relied on or been induced to enter these Terms of Use by a representation other than those expressly set out in these Terms of Use.
Except as expressly permitted under these Terms of Use, no modification, alteration, or waiver of any of the provisions of these Terms of Use will be effective unless in writing and signed on behalf of each of the parties. No waiver of any of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and 8AM’s failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
Nothing in these Terms of Use will create, or be deemed to create, a partnership or joint venture and will not be construed as giving rise to the relationship of principal and agent between the parties.
