services on the Website. The LAMA Website may contain links to third party
websites that are not owned or controlled by LAMA. LAMA has no control over,
and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices
of any third party websites. In addition, LAMA will not and cannot censor or

each other website that you visit.

LAMA hereby grants you permission to use the Website as set forth in this Terms
of Service, provided that: (i) your use of the Website as permitted is solely
for your personal, noncommercial use; (ii) you will not copy or distribute any
part of the Website in any medium without LAMA's prior written authorization;
(iii) you will not alter or modify any part of the Website other than as may be
reasonably necessary to use the Website for its intended purpose; and (iv) you

User Submissions
A.
The LAMA Website may now or in the future permit the submission of videos or
other communications submitted by you and other users ("User

Submissions. You understand that whether or not such User Submissions are
published, LAMA does not guarantee any confidentiality with respect to any
submissions.
B.
You shall be solely responsible for your own User Submissions and the
consequences of posting or publishing them. In connection with User
Submissions, you affirm, represent, and/or warrant that: (i) you own or have
the necessary licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use and authorize

rights in and to any and all User Submissions to enable inclusion and use of
the User Submissions in the manner contemplated by the Website and these Terms
of Service; and (ii) you have the written consent, release, and/or permission
of each and every identifiable individual person in the User Submission to use
the name or likeness of each and every such identifiable individual person to

rights in your User Submissions. However, by submitting the User Submissions to LAMA, you
hereby grant LAMA a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, sublicenseable and
transferable license to use, reproduce, distribute, prepare derivative works
of, display, and perform the User Submissions in connection with the LAMA

for promoting and redistributing part or all of the LAMA Website (and
derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.
You also hereby grant each user of the LAMA Website a non-exclusive license to
access your User Submissions through the Website, and to use, reproduce,
distribute, prepare derivative works of, display and perform such User
Submissions as permitted through the functionality of the Website and under
these Terms of Service. The foregoing license granted by you terminates once
you remove or delete a User Submission from the LAMA Website.
C.
In connection
with User Submissions, you further agree that you will not: (i) submit material
that is copyrighted, protected by trade secret or otherwise subject to third
party proprietary rights, including privacy and publicity rights, unless you

post the material and to grant LAMA all of the license rights granted herein;
(ii) publish falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage LAMA or any
third party; (iii) submit material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory,
libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically
offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense,
give rise to civil liability, violate any law, or is otherwise inappropriate;
(iv) post advertisements or solicitations of business: (v) impersonate another
person. LAMA does
not endorse any User Submission or any opinion, recommendation, or advice
expressed therein, and LAMA expressly disclaims any and all liability in
connection with User Submissions. LAMA does not permit copyright infringing
activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on its Website, and
LAMA will remove all Content and User Submissions if properly notified that
such Content or User Submission infringes on another's intellectual property
rights. LAMA reserves the right to remove Content and User Submissions without
prior notice. LAMA will also terminate a User's access to its Website, if they
are determined to be a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a User who has
been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User
Submission removed from the Website more than twice. LAMA also reserves the
right to decide whether Content or a User Submission is appropriate and
complies with these Terms of Service for violations other than copyright
infringement and violations of intellectual property law, such as, but not
limited to, pornography, obscene or defamatory material, or excessive length.
LAMA may remove such User Submissions and/or terminate a User's access for
uploading such material in violation of these Terms of Service at any time,
without prior notice and at its sole discretion.
D.
In particular, if you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe
that any User Submission or other content infringes upon your copyrights, you
may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
("DMCA") by providing our Copyright Agent with the following
information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
(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
you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic
mail;
(v)
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
(vi)
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.
