Terms of Use

GENERAL

Thank you for visiting a site (the “Site”) owned by the Film Crafts Organization Inc., a Non-profit Corporation (“FCO”). Use of this site is governed by the following Agreement (“TOU”) which you agree to be bound to without limitation or qualification, so please carefully review this Agreement before proceeding. If you do not intend to be legally bound by these terms and conditions, do not access and use the Site. FCO reserves the right to change this Agreement and to make changes to any of the products, software or services (the “Service”) described in the Site at any time without notice or liability. Any such revisions are prospectively binding on you and therefore you should periodically visit this page when you use the Site to review the then current Agreement that binds you. FCO also reserves the right in its sole and unrestricted discretion to deny you access to the Site at any time. FCO enters into agreements with third parties from time to time to provide our users with the opportunity to obtain special services, products or prices offered by the third party. You will not be deemed to be violating this agreement when acting in accordance with the terms and conditions of any such program. Likewise, the terms and conditions in this agreement will be considered broadened to the extent needed to permit such third parties to operate within the terms of a written agreement they have entered into with us. The titles in this Agreement are provided only for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting the Agreement. These terms may also be referred to as the “Terms or service” or “TOS”.

1. ACCEPTANCE OF TERMS

When using particular FCO services, you agree to abide by any applicable posted guidelines for all FCO services, which may change from time to time.  Should you object to any term or condition of the TOU, any guidelines, or any subsequent modifications thereto or become dissatisfied with the FCO service in any way, your only recourse is to immediately discontinue use of the Service.

2. MODIFICATIONS TO THIS AGREEMENT

We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to change, modify or otherwise alter these terms and conditions at any time.  Such modifications shall become effective immediately upon the posting thereof.  You may not be notified of any changes to this agreement and should review it on a regular basis for modifications.

3. CONTENT

FCO makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy, completeness or authenticity of the information contained in any sites it owns or operates.  Your linking to any other websites is at your own risk. You agree that you must evaluate, and bear all risks associated with, the use of any Content, that you may not rely on said Content, and that under no circumstances will FCO be liable in any way for any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed or otherwise made available via the Service.

4. THIRD PARTY CONTENT, SITES, AND SERVICES

The Site and Content may contain features and functions that may link you or provide you with access to third party content which is completely independent of FCO, including web sites, directories, servers, networks, systems, information and databases, applications, software, programs, products or services, and the Internet as a whole.

Your interactions with organizations and/or individuals found on or through the Service, including payment and delivery of goods or services, and any other terms, conditions, warranties or representations associated with such dealings, are solely between you and such organizations and/or individuals.  You should make whatever investigation you feel necessary or appropriate before proceeding with any online or offline transaction with any of these third parties.

You agree that FCO shall not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings. If there is a dispute between participants on this site, or between users and any third party, you understand and agree that FCO is under no obligation to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other users, you hereby release FCO, its officers, employees, agents and successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to such disputes and / or our service. If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which says: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
