1. Services. Octi is an augmented and virtual reality social media platform that is designed to allow registered users to create profiles, create video content using digital worlds and objects, store such content, and connect with other users. Among the tools and resources offered as a part of the Services are: 

1. Video Sharing.  The Services allow you to create, publish and share videos, consume videos other Registered Users (as defined below) have created, and interact with those videos and other users. All Content (as defined below) created on or through the Services is subject to these Terms. You may be able to add sound clips from certain sound recordings to your videos. NO RIGHTS ARE LICENSED WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SOUND RECORDINGS AND THE MUSICAL WORKS EMBODIED THEREIN THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICES.
2. Digital Content.  When using the Services, we may provide you with opportunities to access and use virtual worlds and virtual items, such as virtual objects, skins, etc., (“Digital Items”) to create your video content, and to earn in-app currency (“Octi Coins”) that can be used to “purchase” Digital Items from the in-app virtual marketplace for Digital Items (“Octi Shop”) and/or exchange for a discount on physical items purchased through the Application from select online retailers, (collectively, “Digital Content”). 
3. Octi Coins.  

1. Earning Octi Coins. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, Registered Users will be entitled to earn Octi Coins by completing various goals and challenges through the Services, creating Content with which other Registered Users engage, and purchasing and collecting Digital Items. 

1. For purposes of clarity, users cannot purchase Octi Coins and must earn them in the Application pursuant to these Terms and the Octi Coin Guide, accessible in your Octi Coin Wallet (as defined below) in the Application. At any point, a Registered User can see how many Octi Coins he/she has accrued on a real-time basis by checking their user Account.
2. Octi reserves the right to change the earning and purchasing power of Octi Coins (for example, we might change the number of Octi Coins earned for a particular action or increase the number of Octi Coins needed to purchase Digital Items).
3. No Octi Coins may be assigned or transferred to any other Registered User or third party. Any Octi Coins assigned, sold, or otherwise transferred without the express written consent of Octi are void. Any Registered User who violates this restriction may have his or her Account terminated by Octi, forfeit Octi Coins from his or her Account, and/or be subject to liability for damages and litigation and transaction costs.

1. Using Octi Coins.

1. Octi Coins can be used to purchase Digital Items from the Octi Shop as set forth below.  Octi Coins cannot be exchanged for cash, or legal tender, or currency of any state, region, or any political entity, or any other form of credit. 
2. Octi Coins can only be used as part of our Services and cannot be combined or used in conjunction with other promotions, coupons, discounts or special offers, except those designated by us.
3. All Octi Coins of a Registered User will expire and be deleted automatically (i) upon termination of such Registered User’s Account for any reason; or (ii) if such Registered User’s Account is inactive for three (3) consecutive months. 
4. You agree that we have the right to manage, regulate, control, modify and/or eliminate such Octi Coins, where we have a valid reason to do so, such as where we reasonably believe you have not earned such Octi Coins legitimately, you have violated these Terms, you are in breach of any applicable law or regulation or for legal, security or technical reasons, and that we will have no liability to you based on our exercise of such right. If we decide to eliminate Octi Coins from our services completely, we will do so by providing reasonable notice to you.  

1. FOR THE AVOIDANCE OF DOUBT, OCTI COINS HAVE NO CASH VALUE AND CANNOT BE REDEEMED FOR CASH, CURRENCY OR CREDIT OR TRANSFERRED TO OTHER REGISTERED USERS. WE DON’T PROVIDE OR GUARANTEE, AND EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM, ANY VALUE, CASH OR OTHERWISE, ATTRIBUTED TO ANY DATA RESIDING ON SERVERS WE OPERATE OR CONTROL, INCLUDING ANY DIGITAL CONTENT ATTRIBUTED TO YOUR ACCOUNT.

4. Octi Shop. In the Octi Shop, you can use Octi Coins to purchase certain Digital Items to add to your Digital Item collection (“Digital Shop”) and can browse the online retail shops (“Brand Shop”) of select brands to purchase the physical counterpart to a Digital Item in the Digital Shop.  

4. Digital Shop.  In the Digital Shop, Registered Users can use Octi Coins to purchase and add Digital Items to their Digital Item collection (“Collection”). 

1. Purchasing a Digital Item helps you earn coins daily based on its popularity and how often that item is used in other Registered Users’ videos. You may also “sell” Digital Items in your Collection to other Registered Users for Octi Coins. Octi does not provide any guarantee that any Digital Item will earn Octi Coins or as to the amount of Octi Coins that any Digital Item might earn. For clarity, you do not have to purchase a Digital Item in order to use it in any videos that you create and/or share through the Services. 
2. By purchasing a Digital Item using Digital Coins, you do not and will not receive any ownership interest or intellectual property rights in such Digital Item or the brand, if any, it represents. You are only purchasing, and subject to the terms and conditions herein, we hereby grant you, the right to add the Digital Item to your Collection, to earn Octi Coins based on such Digital Items popularity and to display the Digital Item as part of your Collection on the Services. Further, when you “sell” a Digital Item, the foregoing licenses will be transferred to the purchaser, and you will no longer have the right to add the Digital Item to your Collection, to earn Octi Coins based on such Digital Item’s popularity or to display the Digital Item as part of your Collection on the Services.  NO OWNERSHIP INTEREST OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ARE LICENSED WITH RESPECT TO DIGITAL ITEMS THAT ARE MADE AVAILABLE FROM OR THROUGH THE SERVICES. 

4. Brand Shop.  Some Digital Items have real-world physical counterparts (“Physical Items”) that can be purchased from select brands.  For such Digital Items, solely through the Octi Shop, Registered Users may visit the Brand Shop to purchase, using an approved Payment Provider (as defined below), the corresponding Physical Item or any other item such brand has made available for purchase. For certain purchases of Physical Items, you may have the option to, if applicable, use Octi Coins to complete the purchase or to exchange Octi Coins for a “discount” on such purchase (i.e., make such purchase using your approved payment method and the applicable amount Octi Coins as determined by Octi in our sole discretion). The rate of conversion of Octi Coins for the purchase of Physical Items is determined by Octi from time to time in its absolute and sole discretion. All payments made in connection with a purchase of a Physical Item in a Brand Shop will be made directly to Octi. By making such purchase, you authorize Octi to (i) charge your Payment Provider in accordance with the terms below, and (ii) purchase the applicable Physical Item from the brand’s retail shop on your behalf, using the shipping information you provided upon purchase.  You agree that we may rescind our acceptance and cancel your order without penalty if the Physical Product you ordered is unable to ship by the brand due to unavailability.

1. Payment. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your Account and payment card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the amounts in effect when such charges are incurred. Customers must provide a valid credit or debit card (Visa, MasterCard, or any other accepted issuer) or use Apple Pay or any other payment or financial mechanism specified by Octi (“Payment Provider”) as a condition to making any payments. Octi uses Stripe, Inc. (“Stripe”) as third party service providers for payment services (e.g., card acceptance, merchant settlement, and related services) in connection with the Services (“Payment Processor”).  By purchasing a Physical Item, you agree to be bound by Stripe’s Privacy Policy, available at https://stripe.com/privacy, and you hereby consent and authorize Octi and/or Stripe to share any information and payment instructions you provide with Payment Providers to the minimum extent required to complete your transactions.  All information that you provide to us or our Payment Providers must be accurate, current and complete. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to payments that you make or that you receive.  
2. Shipments. You agree to pay any shipping and handling charges shown at the time you confirm an order. You acknowledge and agree that all shipments will be made through the applicable brand, and not through Octi. Octi shall not be liable for any loss, damage, theft, or shipment delays in connection with any Physical Item purchase. 
3. BY PURCHASING A PHYSICAL PRODUCT FROM A BRAND SHOP, YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOUR ODER WILL BE FULFILLED BY THE THIRD PARTY SELLER AND NOT BY US. We share certain information with that seller in order to permit the seller to fulfill and ship your order, process returns, and provide customer service. We require all sellers to keep your information secure. The seller will be responsible for all processing, shipping, returns, and customer service related to your order. You should contact the Brand Shop seller directly via the contact information provided on the product page for any inquiries or customer service issues related to the Brand Shop seller’s products. Products purchased from a Brand Shop seller can only be returned to that seller in accordance with the Marketplace Seller’s return policy, and cannot be returned to us. 
4. OCTI DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY, INCLUDING ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN, INCLUDING THAT OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, FOR PHYSICAL PRODUCTS, AND MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS AS TO THE SHIPPING, QUALITY OR CONDITION OF ANY PHYSICAL PRODUCT RECEIVED BY YOU FROM A THIRD PARTY SELLER.

8. Remedies.

1. Violations.  If Octi becomes aware of any possible violations by you of the Terms, Octi reserves the right to investigate such violations.  If, as a result of the investigation, Octi believes that criminal activity has occurred, Octi reserves the right to refer the matter to, and to cooperate with, any and all applicable legal authorities.  Octi is entitled, except to the extent prohibited by applicable law, to disclose any information or materials on or in Octi Properties, including Your Content, in Octi’s possession in connection with your use of Octi Properties, to (1) comply with applicable laws, legal process or governmental request; (2) enforce the Terms, (3) respond to any claims that Your Content violates the rights of third parties, (4) respond to your requests for customer service, or (5) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Octi, its Users or the public, and all enforcement or other government officials, as Octi in its sole discretion believes to be necessary or appropriate.

You understand that any termination of Services may involve deletion of Your Content associated therewith from our live databases.  Octi will not have any liability whatsoever to you for any suspension or termination, including for deletion of Your Content.  All provisions of the Terms which by their nature should survive, shall survive termination of Services, including without limitation, ownership provisions, warranty disclaimers, and limitation of liability.

7. Dispute Resolution.  Please read the following arbitration agreement in this Section (“Arbitration Agreement”) carefully.  It requires you to arbitrate disputes with Octi and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us.  

1. Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. You agree that any dispute or claim relating in any way to your access or use of the Website, to any products sold or distributed through the Website, or to any aspect of your relationship with Octi, will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that (1) you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify, so long as the matter remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis; and (2) you or Octi may seek equitable relief in court for infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents).  This Arbitration Agreement shall apply, without limitation, to all claims that arose or were asserted before the Effective Date of this Agreement or any prior version of this Agreement.  

IF YOU AGREE TO ARBITRATION WITH OCTI, YOU ARE AGREEING IN ADVANCE THAT YOU WILL NOT PARTICIPATE IN OR SEEK TO RECOVER MONETARY OR OTHER RELIEF IN ANY LAWSUIT FILED AGAINST OCTI ALLEGING CLASS, COLLECTIVE, AND/OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS ON YOUR BEHALF.  INSTEAD, BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATION, YOU MAY BRING YOUR CLAIMS AGAINST THE OCTI IN AN INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION PROCEEDING.  IF SUCCESSFUL ON SUCH CLAIMS, YOU COULD BE AWARDED MONEY OR OTHER RELIEF BY AN ARBITRATOR.  YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING WHETHER TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT.

2. Arbitration Rules and Forum. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement.  To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Drew Martin, 6600 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028.  The arbitration will be conducted by JAMS, an established alternative dispute resolution provider.   Disputes involving claims and counterclaims under $250,000, not inclusive of attorneys’ fees and interest, shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and procedures available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/; all other claims shall be subject to JAMS’s most current version of the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures, available at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-comprehensive-arbitration/.  JAMS’s rules are also available at www.jamsadr.com or by calling JAMS at 800-352-5267.  If JAMS is not available to arbitrate, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.  If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees and cannot obtain a waiver from JAMS, Octi will pay them for you.  In addition, Octi will reimburse all such JAMS’s filing, administrative, hearing and/or other fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.  Likewise, Octi will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous.

You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the country where you live or at another mutually agreed location.   Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. 

3. Authority of Arbitrator.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency shall have exclusive authority to (a) determine the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement and (b) resolve any dispute related to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of this Arbitration Agreement including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of this Arbitration Agreement is void or voidable.  The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Octi.  The arbitration proceeding will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the arbitral forum’s rules, and the Agreement (including the Arbitration Agreement). The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded.  The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and us.  
4. Waiver of Jury Trial.  YOU AND OCTI HEREBY WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY.  You and Octi are instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement, except as specified in Section 16.1 above.  An arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court and must follow this Agreement as a court would.   However, there is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is subject to very limited review.  
5. Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions.  ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS, ONLY INDIVIDUAL RELIEF IS AVAILABLE, AND CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, (a) representative action for public injunctive relief may be arbitrated on a class basis and (b) in the event that the foregoing sentence is deemed invalid or unenforceable with respect to a particular class or dispute for recovery of damages, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration and instead claims and disputes shall be resolved in accordance with Sections 17.6 and 17.7.
6. 30-Day Right to Opt Out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Arbitration Agreement by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Octi, 6600 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028, info@supermediafuture.com, within 30 days after first becoming subject to this Arbitration Agreement.  Your notice must include your name and address, your Octi username (if any), the email address you used to set up your Octi account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this Arbitration Agreement.    If you opt out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will continue to apply to you.  Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other arbitration agreements that you may currently have, or may enter in the future, with us.
7. Severability. If any part or parts of this Arbitration Agreement are found under the law to be invalid or unenforceable, then such specific part or parts shall be of no force and effect and shall be severed and the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.
8. Survival of Agreement. This Arbitration Agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Octi.
9. Modification.  Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement to the contrary, we agree that if Octi makes any future material change to this Arbitration Agreement, it will not apply to any individual claim(s) that you had already provided notice of to Octi.

Governing Law.  THE TERMS AND ANY ACTION RELATED THERETO WILL BE GOVERNED AND INTERPRETED BY AND UNDER THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA, CONSISTENT WITH THE FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT, WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ANY PRINCIPLES THAT PROVIDE FOR THE APPLICATION OF THE LAW OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.  THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS DOES NOT APPLY TO THESE TERMS.
8. Notice.  Where Octi requires that you provide an e-mail address, you are responsible for providing Octi with your most current e-mail address.  In the event that the last e-mail address you provided to Octi is not valid, or for any reason is not capable of delivering to you any notices required/ permitted by the Terms, Octi’s dispatch of the e-mail containing such notice will nonetheless constitute effective notice.  You may give notice to Octi at the following address: 6600 Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood, CA 90028.  Such notice shall be deemed given when received by Octi by letter delivered by nationally recognized overnight delivery service or first class postage prepaid mail at the above address.
9. Waiver.  Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of the Terms on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
