This TOS governs the relationship between the Company and you, the User of the Site.

Filmio Decentralized Platform – Terms and Conditions
Company Overview
Filmio, Inc. (“Filmio” or “Company”), exists under the laws of the state of Delaware. The Company built a blockchain-based entertainment utility protocol powered by a cryptographically secure multilayered network. The protocol works by a distributed ledger, a digitally recorded ecosystem of data in packages called “blocks” built on a specially designed blockchain (“Filmio Network”). Companies and individuals conducting various creative functions on the Filmio Network and its associated platform(s), or utilizing or benefiting from the services or features of the same, shall be referred to herein as “Participants” or “Users” on the Filmio Decentralized Platform.
Representations and Warranties
To participate in the FDP, a Participant shall represent and warrant that:
If a Creator, that the project is a valid, bona fide, act of artistic creation arising from the Creator’s skill, experience, and knowledge and/or that of the Creator’s associates.
All the above representations and warranties made by Participant shall be true, complete, accurate, and non-misleading on and from the date that Participant initiates actions on the FDP.
The Filmio ecosystem, including the distributed ledger underlying the Tokens, is decentralized, and therefore, Filmio does not operate or maintain all aspects of the network. As such, Filmio has no responsibility or liability for the network nor does it have any ability to control third-parties use of the network.
Ownership of Tokens carries no rights, expressed or implied, other than the right to use Tokens as a means to enable usage of and interaction with the ecosystem if successfully completed and deployed. Participant understands, acknowledges, and accepts that Tokens do not represent or confer any ownership right or stake, share or security or equivalent rights, or any right to receive future revenue shares, intellectual property rights, or any other form of participation in or relating to the FDP, Filmio ecosystem, network and/or the Company and its affiliates, other than rights relating to the provision and receipt of services in the network, subject to limitations and conditions in these Terms and applicable network terms and policies (as defined below). Participants understand and accept that Tokens are not intended to be a digital currency, security, commodity, or any other kind of financial instrument.
Limitation of Liability
While Filmio will take reasonable steps to ensure the security and privacy of any information transmitted during Participants use of our services (the “Service” or “Services”), in no event will any such information be considered “confidential,” nor will its disclosure to a third party, accidental or otherwise, cause liability against Filmio, even if it occurs as a result of our negligence. Participant hereby warrants and agrees that Filmio is not responsible whatsoever for any damages caused by the interception, loss, or alteration to any information sent over the internet.
The use of the Filmio Services is undertaken “at risk” which for greater clarity means that the Company assumes and will hold no responsibility for any actual or anticipated loss by Participant, or any third-party, resulting from the use of the Services. Filmio will take every reasonable precaution to prevent and mitigate attacks; however, these problems may nevertheless occur from time to time for reasons that are beyond the control of the Company.
Filmio will hold no liability to the Participant for any actual or anticipatory damages from breach of this contract.
Filmio Does Not Provide Legal, Financial, or Investment Advice. At no time does the Company provide any legal, financial, or investment advice, and any publicized, provided, or referred to information or publications should not be considered as such.
Email Communications
The Company, through its, or that of a sub-contracted third-party, operates an email newsletter program used to inform Participants about products and services supplied by Filmio. Users of this email service (“Participants”) can subscribe through an online automated process should they wish to do so but do so at their own discretion. Some subscriptions may be manually processed through prior written agreements with the user.
All personal details relating to Participant information are held securely. No personal details are passed on to third parties nor shared with companies/people outside of Filmio, or the company that operates this website.
Email marketing campaigns published by this website or its owners may contain tracking facilities within the actual email. Participant activity is tracked and stored in a database for future analysis and evaluation. Such tracked activity may include; the opening of emails, forwarding of emails, the clicking of links within the email content, times, dates, and frequency of activity. This is not a comprehensive list of possible activities.
This information is used to refine future email campaigns and supply the Participant with more relevant content based on their activity.
In compliance with international spam and privacy laws, Participants are given the opportunity to unsubscribe at any time through an automated system. This process is detailed at the footer of each email campaign. If an automated un-subscription system is unavailable clear instructions on how to un-subscribe will be detailed instead.
Copyright of Communications In Connection with our Services
Participant (or Participants) agree that any materials, information, or communications transmitted between Participant and Filmio in any form, or between Participant and Filmio via the Filmio wallet, are non-confidential and will become the sole, exclusive property of Filmio.
Filmio will own all intellectual property rights to such communications or materials and may use or disseminate such communications without restriction for any legal purpose, commercial or otherwise, without notifying or compensating Participants or Participants. Participants and Participants hereby waive any right to litigation or recovery for perceived damages caused by the use of this information as is permissible by law.

3.5 Subscriptions; Fees
(i) In order to use and access a certain portion of the Services and Site, you will be required to purchase subscriptions which may be offered with a monthly, annual, or another term. We may offer different levels of subscriptions, which provide different levels of access to the features of the Services and Site. The term of your subscription will commence on the date you purchase such subscription. The Services provided may be subject to change.
(ii) For monthly subscriptions, payment will be initiated on a monthly basis and will be paid in advance or on the first day of each such month of your subscription term. For annual subscriptions, you will be charged for the annual term of your subscription at the time you purchase such subscription. You hereby authorize us to collect from your payment method all outstanding fees and charges for your account. If any fees and charges are not paid by the due date, Filmio may suspend or terminate your access to the Services and Site, without notice to you, until all amounts due are paid. Additionally, any fees and charges which are not paid by the due date are subject to a late charge of one percent (1%) (or the maximum amount permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower) for each month, or fraction thereof, until the full amount due is paid in full. You are responsible to pay all fees and charges for your subscriptions, and except as described in this TOS, any suspension, termination, or disconnection of the Services or Site does not relieve you of the obligation to pay such fees.
(iii) You may cancel your monthly subscription by providing written notice to us of such cancellation. Your subscription will terminate at the end of the month during which you cancelled, and you will be charged the applicable subscription fee for such month. You may cancel your annual subscription by providing written notice to us of such cancellation, which notice must be received by us during the first 180 days of your annual subscription.

You will not be entitled to any refund of the subscription fee if you elect to cancel your annual subscription after the first 180 days thereof.

If we terminate your subscription for a Stated Reason, then you will be responsible for the applicable subscription fees through the end of your subscription term. “Stated Reasons” include the following: (a) we have determined, in our sole discretion, that you have misused the Services or the Site, engaged in suspected fraudulent or illegal activity, engaged in other activity that adversely affects the Services, Site, or our network, or other Users’ ability to use the Services or Site; and/or (b) you have breached this TOS.

(v) Other features of the Services or Site may be subject to a fee, such as a submission fee for submitting a project to us. All such fees are non-refundable.
3.6 Accredited Investors. We will require all new or prospective Users of Filmio who identify themselves as Investors to execute an Accredited Investor Questionnaire. We have created a questionnaire that is designed to make (prospective) Users review whether they truly are accredited and sophisticated, but we do not verify the representations they make or whether such Users would be deemed accredited under applicable state, federal or international securities laws or other laws. We have also designed the Site such that an Investor is not intended to be introduced to any Creator whose capital raising activities were in process when that Investor becomes a member of Filmio, but we cannot guarantee that our design is foolproof, or that Investors who learn about a Creator’s business through Filmio will not find another way to be introduced to such Creator.
3.7 Display Creators’ Content and Allow Communications with Investors Only as Instructed by the Creator/Investor. When you create an account with Filmio, and at any time thereafter, you will be able to set a variety of filters that are intended to control who is able to see your Confidential Information and what information of other Users will be accessible by you. We will make commercially reasonable efforts not to intentionally violate such filters; provided, however, that we do not guarantee or warranty the following:
(i) that there will never be a software bug or a hacker attack that will allow unauthorized viewing of the material or unsolicited contacts to occur;
(ii) that any other User whom you have given access to Confidential Information will not violate the conditions of confidentiality that you and / or the Company have imposed on such User and such Confidential Information or that such User will abide by the TOS;
3.8 Reservations and Limitations. Without limiting any right, privilege, limitation or reservation contained elsewhere in this TOS and benefiting the Company, the Company reserves the following rights:
(i) Filmio reserves the right, but is not required, to monitor, modify, suppress, delete or control the Content posted via the Services or the Site and to take any action with respect to such Content at any time and without notice to you or other Users. Our failure to exercise that right, however, does not waive such right and does not give you or any other party any right to make a claim against Filmio.
(ii) Filmio reserves the right, at any time and from time to time, temporarily or permanently, in whole or in part, to modify, suspend or discontinue the Services or Site in any way and at any time, with or without notice to you.

You agree that (a) Filmio shall not be liable, in whole or in part, to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Services or Site, and (b) your continued use of the Services or Site after any changes to the Services or Site have been implemented will be deemed your acceptance of such changes. In the event that the Services are discontinued, you will be responsible for the applicable subscription fees, on a pro-rata basis, through the date of the discontinuance of such Services.
(iii) Filmio reserves the right to terminate your access to the Services or Site without notice and, in the event that you have violated this TOS, reserves the right to pursue additional remedies available to Filmio at law or in equity.

(vi) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, you specifically acknowledge that Filmio has the right to terminate or limit your account for any reason or no reason at all. Any Content that has been uploaded through the Services or Site may be deleted at any time without notice to you. Filmio shall have no liability to any User or person for any claim based upon its termination of an account or disabling of access to or removal of any Content, including material it believes, in its sole discretion to violate this TOS, regardless of whether the material ultimately is determined to be infringing or otherwise prohibited or Prohibited Activity, and regardless of whether such termination or disabling has the effect of reducing the value of any Content or opportunities that might otherwise have been available to you. By using the Services or Site, you agree that notice to you through an email to the email address you provided in your profile constitutes reasonable efforts to notify you of any removal or disabling if such notice is required.
(vii) We are neither obligated to display your Content to any other User, nor are we obligated to introduce you to any Creator or Investor.
(viii) We are not responsible for conducting due diligence on the Users you meet through the Services or Site. Should we conduct due diligence on one or more Users, neither does this change the meaning or effect of the immediately foregoing sentence nor are we responsible or can be held liable for the outcome of any such due diligence.
(ix) We are not responsible for verifying that any Investor is an Accredited Investor or otherwise authorized or appropriate to invest in your project or for determining whether any use of Filmio constitutes a general solicitation of securities under U.S. law or the laws of any state or other jurisdiction, including foreign jurisdictions.
(x) We do not recommend any films or other ventures for investment, endorse their fitness for investment, or verify the information on the Site or in our emails; and we do not claim that any Content provided by Users or the Company is accurate, complete, and not misleading.
(xi) We are not obligated to maintain the confidentiality of any Content you give us, other than with respect to Confidential Information, and with respect to Confidential Information, we are not obligated to protect it other than by designating it as such and putting in place reasonable technological measures, which we have determined in good faith, to secure the confidentiality of such Confidential Information. We, however, cannot guarantee complete security; specifically, we cannot and do not guarantee that our measures will prevent all unauthorized access and use of Confidential Information, and we do not guarantee that the technology will never fail.
(xii) We have no obligation to monitor or enforce any intellectual property rights that may be associated with Content you provide to us.
(xiii) In the event that we invest in any film at any stage of development, we are not obligated to make that investment opportunity available to anyone else.
(xiv) The Company does not endorse the Content found through the Services, the Site, or external sites that may be linked to or from the Site and, therefore, the Company specifically disclaims any responsibility with regard thereto.

We have the right to delete, suppress and modify Content or comments from the Services or Site without notice for any reason.

You agree (a) to hold the Confidential Information of Disclosure in strict confidence and to take all necessary precautions (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect such Confidential Information from unauthorized disclosure, access or use; (b) not to disclose or provide access to any such Confidential Information or any information derived therefrom to any person other than Authorized Persons (defined below); (c) not to use such Confidential Information except for the sole and limited purpose of determining whether you (and not any other party) will enter into a business transaction with the Discloser (the “Purpose”). For purposes of clarity, you may not disclose a Discloser’s Confidential Information to another party for the purpose of such party’s determining whether to enter into a business transaction with the Discloser. If any other party wishes to obtain access to any Confidential Information of a Discloser, such third party shall not have the right to obtain such information through you, and such third party may be required to become a User of the Services and Site and to enter into this TOS in order to obtain access to such Confidential Information directly from the Discloser. As used in this TOS, “Authorized Persons” means your accountants, attorneys, financial advisors, banks, and sources of financing who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less stringent than those in this Section 4.2 to maintain the confidentiality of Discloser’s Confidential Information and who need to have access to such Confidential Information for the Purpose.
(ii) In addition, you may disclose such Confidential Information if you are legally compelled to do so pursuant to a written court order, subpoena, regulatory demand, or process of law; provided that prior to any such compelled disclosure, you shall (a) unless prohibited by applicable law, promptly notify the Discloser of such compelled disclosure, (b) fully cooperate with the Discloser (at Discloser’s expense) in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information, and (c) solely disclose the portion of the Confidential Information compelled to be disclosed and solely to the party entitled to receive it. Any such compelled disclosure shall not otherwise affect your obligations hereunder with respect to the Discloser’s Confidential Information so disclosed.
(iii) You agree that solely with respect to a Discloser’s Confidential Information, such Discloser shall be an intended third-party beneficiary of this Section 4.2 of this TOS and shall have the right to enforce the terms of this Section 4.2 directly against you, without first requiring that Filmio take or join any action to enforce this Section 4.2 against you. You also agree, as a Discloser of Confidential Information, that Filmio shall have the right, in its sole discretion but without obligation, to enforce this Section 4.2 against any Users to whom you provide your Confidential Information. You agree that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information of Disclosers, the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information will cause irreparable harm and significant injury to such Disclosers, the extent of which will be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, you agree that Disclosers and Filmio, in addition to any other available remedies, shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of your obligations under this Section 4.2 with respect to their Confidential Information, without the necessity of posting any bond or other security.
(iv) You agree that at any time requested by the Discloser, you will destroy and permanently delete all Confidential Information of such Discloser (and all copies and extracts thereof) in your possession or control or as otherwise disclosed to Authorized Persons and shall certify to such Discloser that you and your Authorized Persons have completed such destruction and deletion within ten (10) days after your receipt of request from such Discloser to so destroy and delete such Confidential Information.
4.3 Minimum Age. If you register as an Investor, you certify that you are at least 18 years old. If you register as anything other than an Investor, you certify that you are at least 13 years old, and if you are less than 18 years old, your parent or legal guardian has established and authorized your account on your behalf with us.
4.4 Eligible User Profile. You agree that you will maintain an Eligible User Profile at all times. You shall be solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your username and password and agree not to transfer, share, disclose or resell your access to the Services or Site, to any third party. You further agree to update your Eligible User Profile from time to time so that it remains true, correct, and complete. You agree to immediately notify Company of any unauthorized use of your username, password, and/or account, or any other breach of security related to your account, the Services, or the Site, and you will ensure that you “log off” and exit from your account at the end of each session. WE ARE NOT LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE ARISING FROM YOUR FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH ANY OF THE FOREGOING OBLIGATIONS. YOU ARE ENTIRELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL ACTIVITIES TAKING PLACE THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT, WHETHER OR NOT YOU ARE THE INDIVIDUAL WHO UNDERTAKES SUCH ACTIVITIES. You agree that an Eligible User Profile excludes:
(i) Any use of a false name or an email address owned or controlled by another person with the intent to impersonate that person or for any other reason;
(ii) Any use within a username if such name is subject to any rights of a person other than yourself without appropriate authorization; or (iii) Any other submission of false or misleading information to the Company.

10. Miscellaneous
10.1 Governing Law/Resolution of Disputes. This TOS shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the United States and the State of California governing contracts entered into and to be fully performed in the State of California (i.e., without regard to conflict of law’s provisions) regardless of your location. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts located in the city of San Diego, California, and you hereby consent to and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum nonconveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in the state and federal courts located in the city of San Diego, California The parties specifically disclaim application of the Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
10.2 Injunctive Relief. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made hereunder to the Company are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which shall irreparably harm the Company and which cannot be replaced by monetary damages alone so that the Company shall be entitled to injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligations of posting any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief and agree to limit your claims to claims for monetary damages (if any).
10.3 Informal Negotiations. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy or claim related to this TOS (“Dispute”), you and the Company agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one person to the other. You will send your notice to [email protected] with notice of delivery.
10.4 Binding Arbitration. If you and the Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, either you or the Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration conducted in the City of San Diego, California, US. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules”), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be excessive, the Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except as otherwise provided in this TOS, you and the Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.
10.5 Restrictions in Respect of Arbitration. You and the Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law:
(i) no arbitration shall be joined with any other;
(ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and
(iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
10.6 Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration. You and the Company agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
(i) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of your or the Company’s intellectual property rights, including without limitation copyrights;
(ii) any Dispute related to or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and
(iii) any claim for injunctive relief.
10.7 Waiver/Severability.
(i) The failure of the Company to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of this TOS or to exercise any right under this TOS shall not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the Company’s right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. In fact, the Company may choose to enforce certain portions of this TOS more strictly or to interpret certain provisions more strictly against certain Users than it does against Users in general, and such disparate treatment shall not be grounds for failing to comply with all this TOS as so interpreted.
(ii) You and the Company agree that if any portion of this TOS is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of the Terms, which shall continue to be in full force and effect. If Section 10.5 is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither you nor the Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of Section 10.5 found to be illegal or unenforceable, and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the city of San Diego, the State of California, United States of America, and you and the Company agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
(iii) The Company operates and controls the Services and Site from its offices in the United States. The Company makes no representation that the Services or Site are appropriate or available in other locations. The information provided on or through the Services or Site is not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction or country where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject the Company to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access any Service or Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
10.8 Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify this TOS to any party at any time without any notice to you. You may not assign this TOS without the Company’s prior written consent which may be withheld at Company’s sole discretion. The company may assign this TOS, the Site, the Services, and all Content provided by you and other users in the event of a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, reorganization, or similar transaction. This TOS contains the entire agreement between you and the Company and supersedes all prior agreements of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof.
