All of the rights in our Sites, including all of the rights in the content of our Sites, are owned by Operator, its subsidiaries, its franchisees, its or their licensors, and other third parties. The entire content of each Site is copyrighted as a collective work under U.S. and international copyright laws and treaties, and Operator or one of its subsidiaries owns the copyright in the selection, coordination, arrangement, and enhancement of the content of each Site.

Individual users of our Sites are permitted to download copies of the information on our Sites for their own personal use. This limited, revocable privilege to use the content in no way constitutes a transfer of any right, title, or interest in the material you download.

The trademarks and service marks used or displayed on our Sites (“Trademarks”) are registered and unregistered trademarks of Operator, one of its subsidiaries, or third parties. Nothing on our Sites may be construed as granting – by implication, estoppel, or otherwise – any license or right to use any Trademarks displayed on the Site without the prior express written permission of Operator or the trademark owner. In particular, you may not use any trademark displayed on our Sites as a “hot” link without the prior written approval of the trademark owner.

RESPONSIBILITY FOR USER-GENERATED CONTENT POSTED ON OR THROUGH OUR SITES

In these Terms of Use, “User-Generated Content” or “UGC” refers to all of the content that you post on or through our Sites using the social networking tools we make available to you and that does not constitute Feedback.

You are responsible for UGC that you post: Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any UGC.

This means that you, not Operator, are entirely responsible for all UGC that you post and that you can be held personally liable for comments that are defamatory, obscene, or libelous, or that violate these Terms of Use, an obligation of confidentiality, or the rights of others. If any part of the UGC you post is not your original work, it is your responsibility to obtain any necessary permission to post it.

Because we do not control the UGC posted on or through our Sites, we cannot and do not warrant or guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, suitability, or quality of that UGC. You also agree and understand that by accessing our Sites, you may encounter UGC that you may consider to be objectionable. We have no responsibility for any UGC, including without limitation any errors or omissions therein. We are not liable for any loss or damage of any kind you may claim was incurred as a result of the use of any UGC posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available on or through our Sites. The UGC posted on or through our Sites expresses the personal opinions of the individuals who posted it and does not necessarily reflect the views of Operator or any person or entity associated with Operator.

You own UGC, but we may use it: You own the copyright in any original UGC you post. We do not claim any copyrights in UGC. However, by using our Sites you are granting us and our subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, and assigns, a nonexclusive, fully paid, worldwide, perpetual, irrevocable, royalty-free, transferable license (with the right to sublicense through unlimited levels of sublicensees) to use, copy, modify, distribute, publicly display and perform, publish, transmit, remove, retain repurpose, and commercialize UGC you post in any and all media or form of communication whether now existing or hereafter developed, without obtaining additional consent, without restriction, notification, or attribution, and without compensating you in any way, and to authorize others to do the same. For this reason, we ask that you not post any UGC that you do not wish to license to us, including any photographs, videos, confidential information, or product ideas.

We may disclose and/or remove UGC: Operator has certain rights. We have the right (but do not assume the obligation) to:

  • monitor all UGC;
  • require that you avoid certain subjects;
  • remove or block any UGC at any time without notice at our sole and absolute discretion;
  • disclose any UGC and the identity of the user who posted it in response to a subpoena or whenever we believe that disclosure is appropriate to comply with the law or court order, to prevent or investigate a possible crime or other violation of law, to protect the rights of Operator or others, or to enforce these Terms of Use; and
  • terminate your access to and use of our Sites, or to modify, edit, or block your transmissions thereto in our sole discretion.


You agree that our exercise of such discretion shall not render us the owners of UGC you post, and that you will retain ownership thereof as described above.

Restrictions on UGC: It is a condition of these Terms of Use that you do not:

  • upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available
    • any UGC that is unlawful, harmful, hateful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, racially disparaging, indecent, or invasive of another’s privacy;
    • any UGC that constitutes or encourages activity illegal under criminal or civil law;
    • any UGC that is false, misleading, or fraudulent;
    • any UGC that you do not have a right to make available under any law or under contractual or fiduciary relationships (such as inside information or proprietary and confidential information learned or disclosed as part of employment relationships or under nondisclosure agreements);
    • any UGC that violates or infringes upon the rights of others, including UGC which violates the patent rights, copyrights, trademark rights, privacy rights, publicity rights, trade secret rights, confidentiality rights, contract rights, or any other rights of any individual, living or deceased, or any legal entity;
    • any UGC that contains the image, name, or likeness of anyone other than yourself, unless (i) that person is at least eighteen years old and you have first obtained his/her express permission or (ii) that person is under eighteen years old but you are his/her parent or legal guardian;
    • any request for or solicitation of any personal or private information from any individual;
    • any request for or solicitation of money, goods, or services for private gain;
    • any material that contains software viruses or any other computer code, files, or programs designed to interrupt, destroy, or limit the functionality of any computer software or hardware, or telecommunications equipment; or
    • any UGC that contains advertising, promotions, or marketing, or which otherwise has a commercial purpose;
  • impersonate any person or entity or falsely state or otherwise misrepresent your affiliation with a person or entity; or
  • violate any local, state, national, or international law, rule, or regulation.

By posting UGC, you represent and warrant that (i) you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the UGC and have the right to grant the license set forth in these Terms of Use; (ii) the UGC is accurate, and (iii) you are at least eighteen years old and you have read and understood – and your UGC fully complies with these – Terms of Use and applicable laws and will not cause injury to any person or entity.

REMOVAL OF CONTENT

In general: On certain pages of our Sites, we may provide to you a tool to report objectionable User-Generated Content. If that tool is not available, you can report objectionable UGC by contacting us using the information provided above. While we do not have any obligation to remove UGC from our Sites merely because of a removal request, we will endeavor to review all such requests and will remove UGC that we determine should be removed, in our sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms of Use and applicable law. Please be aware, however, that if the UGC has already been distributed to other websites or published in other media, we will not be able to recapture and delete it. Also, a backup or residual copy of the UGC we remove from our Sites may remain on backup servers.

Violation of copyrights Operator does not knowingly violate or permit others to violate the copyrights of others. We will promptly remove or disable access to material that we know is infringing or if we become aware of circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent.

If you are requesting removal of content because of a violation of your copyrights, please note that 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 that your own work, or the work of a third party for whom you are authorized to act, is featured on our Sites or has been otherwise copied and made available on our Sites in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please notify us immediately. Your notice must be in writing and must include:

  • an electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;
  • a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our Sites (including the URL, title, and/or item number if applicable, or other identifying characteristics);
  • your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and, if you are not the owner of the copyright, the name of the owner; and
  • a written statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Your statement must be addressed to the Operator who owns the platform, as follows:

Copyright Department
Keystone Coffee LLC
PO Box 521805
Big Lake, AK 99652
Phone: 1-888-555-6789
Email: info@keystonecoffee.us

Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with the requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident.

YOUR FEEDBACK

In these Terms of Use, “Feedback” refers to the content you post on or through our Sites that is specifically about how we can improve our Sites and the products and services we make available through our Sites. Although we do not claim ownership of User-Generated Content you post on or through our Sites, the Feedback you provide to us will be and remain our exclusive property. Your submission of Feedback will constitute an assignment to us of all worldwide rights, titles, and interests in your Feedback, including all copyrights and other intellectual property rights in your Feedback. We will be entitled to reduce to practice, exploit, make, use, copy, disclose, display or perform publicly, distribute, improve, and modify any Feedback you submit for any purpose whatsoever, without restriction and without compensating you in any way. For this reason, we ask that you not send us any Feedback that you do not wish to assign to us.

PASSWORD-PROTECTED AREAS OF OUR SITES

Certain areas of our Sites are password protected. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your passwords. We have the right to assume that anyone accessing our Sites using a password assigned to you has the right to do so. You will be solely responsible for the activities of anyone accessing our Sites using a password assigned to you, even if the individual is not, in fact, authorized by you. You agree to notify us promptly if you have reason to believe that your password may have been compromised or used without authorization.

FRANCHISE INFORMATION

Neither our Sites nor the franchise sales information on our Sites constitute an offer to sell a franchise. The offer of a franchise can only be made through the delivery of a franchise offering circular. Certain states require that we register the franchise offering circular in those states. The communications on our Sites are not directed by us to the residents of any of those states. Moreover, we will not offer or sell franchises in those states until we have registered the franchise (or obtained an applicable exemption from registration) and delivered the franchise offering circular to the prospective franchisee in compliance with applicable law.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, SHALL OPERATOR, ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR ITS FRANCHISEES, OR ANY OF THEIR EMPLOYEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, AGENTS, VENDORS, LICENSORS, OR SUPPLIERS, BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOSSES OR DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE OUR SITES, ANY CONTENT PUBLISHED ON OUR SITES, OR ANY INFORMATION, PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED OR PURCHASED THROUGH OUR SITES.

THIS IS A COMPREHENSIVE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY THAT APPLIES TO ALL LOSSES AND DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF DATA, INCOME OR PROFITS), WHETHER THE CLAIM IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF AN AUTHORIZED REPRESENTATIVE OF OPERATOR, ONE OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES, OR A FRANCHISEE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, AND WITHOUT REGARD TO THE EFFECTIVENESS OF OTHER REMEDIES.

IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION ON LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OPERATOR, ITS SUBSIDIARIES, ITS FRANCHISEES (AND ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY WHOSE LIABILITY WOULD OTHERWISE HAVE BEEN LIMITED) FOR LIABILITIES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED SHALL NOT EXCEED FIVE DOLLARS ($5.00).
