Any attempt to perform any of the restrictions listed in Section 2(b) and Section 2(c) above is a violation of the rights of Movies Anywhere, its licensors, and the copyright holder.

3. USAGE TERMS

  1. Adding Movies Anywhere Entitlements. An "Entitlement" is a legitimately acquired license to stream or download a specific Movies Anywhere movie title and its resolution (e.g., Standard Definition or High Definition). Your "My Movies" collection is made up of Content for which you have by license obtained Entitlements in your Movies Anywhere locker. As a Movies Anywhere Member, you may fill your My Movies collection with Movies Anywhere-eligible movies based on your Entitlements. Your Entitlements will remain in your My Movies Collection indefinitely, subject to the ongoing validity of your Entitlements and these Movies Anywhere Terms of Use.
  2. Temporary Entitlements. A "Temporary Entitlement" is an Entitlement with a license to stream a select Movies Anywhere movie title and its resolution for a limited period of time. For clarity, a Temporary Entitlement will not become part of your My Movies collection.
  3. Streaming Movies Anywhere Content. Select Content can be streamed through the Movies Anywhere Service over an active Internet connection. The image quality will vary depending on the speed of your Internet connection, the device you use and the software currently installed on such device. Up to four (4) concurrent streams are allowed for each Movies Anywhere account at any time. Up to two (2) concurrent streams are allowed for the same Movies Anywhere-eligible movie for each Movies Anywhere account at any time.
  4. Downloading Movies Anywhere-Eligible Movies. Movies Anywhere Members may download Movies Anywhere-eligible movies to a maximum of eight (8) permitted Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices (described further below in Section 6) for offline viewing. These downloads are in addition to downloads that may be permitted by Digital Retailers like Apple TV, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Google Play/YouTube, Microsoft Movies & TV, Xfinity, Verizon Fios TV and DIRECTV. The number of times you can download a single Movies Anywhere-eligible movie through your Movies Anywhere account to a Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device associated with your Movies Anywhere account is unlimited, as long as you do not exceed the device limits described in Section 6. Please note that you must connect your Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device to the Internet and login to your Movies Anywhere account at least once every ninety (90) days for your downloaded movies to remain available for playback through your Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device.
  5. Access Controls. The Movies Anywhere Service provides Movies Anywhere Members with access controls to restrict certain functionality within the Movies Anywhere Service. You may enable access controls by creating profiles within your Movies Anywhere account and managing the ratings that each profile has access to, which will restrict playback of Movies Anywhere-eligible movies from within that profile by rating. There are currently five (5) levels of restricted ratings: G, PG, PG-13, R, and All. However, restricting access to a Movies Anywhere-eligible movie by rating does not restrict access to the bonus materials associated with that movie. Please note that profiles are set on a device-by-device basis. This means that any profile (and its associated access control) you set on one device will not automatically apply to your other devices. To apply that same access control on your other devices, you will need to independently select the profile with the desired access control on each of your devices.
  6. Digital Code Redemption. You can enter authorized, unexpired, valid, and unused digital codes for Movies Anywhere-eligible movies in the "Redeem" section of the Movies Anywhere Service. Upon validating the digital code, an Entitlement for the Movies Anywhere-eligible movie will be included in your My Movies collection. For combination packs: Digital codes originally packaged in combination disc + code packages may not be sold separately and may be redeemed only by an individual who obtains the code in the original combination disc + code package, or by a family member of that individual. The digital codes are owned by Participating Studios, their affiliates, or other licensors. You may only use digital codes as specifically authorized under these Movies Anywhere Terms of Use and the terms and conditions of the applicable issuer of each digital code that you use. The unauthorized sale, distribution, purchase or transfer of digital codes in a manner inconsistent with those terms and conditions is prohibited.
  7. Future Unavailability. Subject to these Usage Rules, there is no limit to the number of times you can download or stream Movies Anywhere-eligible movies from your My Movies collection; however, it is possible that those movies may not be available for subsequent re-download or stream at any given time., including without limitation (i) during any maintenance or update periods, any power or server outages; (ii) as a result of war, riots, strikes, social unrest; or (iii) as a result of other matters beyond the control of us or third parties. Movies Anywhere will take reasonable efforts to provide you with as much prior notice as possible; however, Movies Anywhere shall have no liability to you in such event. There may be times when we have to remove certain features or functionality and/or devices and platforms from being able to access the Movies Anywhere Service. We will take reasonable efforts to let you know of any of these changes, usage rules, and restrictions, but you acknowledge that we may do so in our sole discretion at any time without notice. You also agree that we will not be liable to you for any modification, suspension, or discontinuance of the Movies Anywhere Service.

4. DIGITAL RETAILERS

  1. Connecting. Currently, Apple iTunes, Amazon Prime Video, Fandango at Home, Google Play/YouTube, Microsoft Movies & TV, Xfinity, Verizon Fios TV and DIRECTV are "Digital Retailers" of the Movies Anywhere Service. Additional Digital Retailers may become available at any time, with or without notice. The total number of Digital Retailers may vary at any given time. If you have an account with a Digital Retailer, you may connect your Movies Anywhere account with your Digital Retailer account. Only one Movies Anywhere account can be connected with one account at each connected Digital Retailer at any one time. These accounts may be individually disconnected by you at any time. However, an individual Digital Retailer account to which a Movies Anywhere account is connected cannot be switched to a different account with such Digital Retailer more than once in any 180 day period. Connecting your Movies Anywhere account with your Digital Retailer account(s) will enable automatic Entitlement Sharing between Movies Anywhere and all connected Digital Retailer(s).
  2. Independent Rules. While on or using a Digital Retailer's website, application or service, you will be subject to that Digital Retailer's rules and restrictions including its privacy policies. Movies Anywhere assumes no responsibility or liability for any Digital Retailer or its websites, applications or services.
  3. Entitlement Sharing. "Entitlement Sharing" is the sharing of your Entitlements on your behalf between Movies Anywhere and each connected Digital Retailer. In this way, all Movies Anywhere-eligible movies in your My Movies collection will also appear in each of your connected Digital Retailer's lockers, subject to availability of each Movies Anywhere-eligible movie with the applicable Digital Retailer. Additionally, all Movies Anywhere-eligible movies in your connected Digital Retailer's lockers will appear in your My Movies collection and each of your other connected Digital Retailer's lockers, subject to availability of each Movies Anywhere-eligible movie with the applicable Digital Retailer. This will allow you to independently view such movies through the Movies Anywhere Service and each Digital Retailer's service. Temporary Entitlements, which are separate from your My Movies collection, will not be shared by Movies Anywhere with Digital Retailers, will not appear in your connected Digital Retailer(s)’s locker(s), and will not be viewable on such Digital Retailer(s)’s service(s). No Entitlement information or other information is shared directly between Digital Retailers. Each Digital Retailer's terms of use will determine your viewing rules and restrictions while using their services. Please note that not all movies available in your connected Digital Retailer's locker are eligible for sharing with Movies Anywhere. Disconnecting your Movies Anywhere account with your Digital Retailer account will cease future Entitlement Sharing between Movies Anywhere and the disconnected Digital Retailer. Movies Anywhere-eligible movies based on Entitlements which were shared prior to disconnecting will continue to be available in Movies Anywhere and the disconnected Digital Retailer so long as the Digital Retailer account remains disconnected from Movies Anywhere. Should you choose to then reconnect your Digital Retailer account to a different Movies Anywhere account, there is a possibility that some of your Movies Anywhere-eligible movies will not be available in your Digital Retailer account. Each Digital Retailer’s policies and terms of use will determine whether Entitlements shared prior to disconnecting with Movies Anywhere will continue to be available in the Digital Retailer account.
  4. Transactions. Currently Movies Anywhere does not directly handle transactions for any products. However, you may follow links within the Movies Anywhere Service to purchase products directly from a connected Digital Retailer. All such transactions are subject to applicable license terms and conditions and will be directly between you and the Digital Retailer. You should directly contact the Digital Retailer for any refunds or to resolve any problems with such transactions.

5. PARTICIPATING STUDIOS

Currently, Movies Anywhere brings you titles from The Walt Disney Studios (including Twentieth Century Film), Sony Pictures Entertainment Inc., Universal Pictures, and Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. ("Participating Studios"). Additional Participating Studios may become available at any time, with or without notice. The total number of Participating Studios may vary at any given time.

If you have an account with one or more Participating Studio’s rewards program (each a “Studio Rewards Program”), you may connect your Movies Anywhere account with your Studio Rewards Program account(s). Only one Movies Anywhere account can be connected with one account at each connected Studio Rewards Program at any one time. These accounts may be individually disconnected by you at any time. However, an individual Studio Rewards Program account to which a Movies Anywhere account is connected cannot be switched to a different account with such Studio Rewards Program more than once in any 180-day period. While accessing or using a Participating Studio's Content, website, application or service, you will be subject to that Participating Studio's rules and restrictions including its privacy policies. Movies Anywhere assumes no responsibility or liability for any Participating Studio or its websites, applications or services.

6. MOVIES ANYWHERE-COMPATIBLE DEVICES, TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS

  1. Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices. Use of the Movies Anywhere Service requires compatible devices and certain software, may require periodic updates, and may be affected by the performance of these elements. You can access Movies Anywhere Content with almost any Internet-connected computer or through the Movies Anywhere application available for certain mobile devices (Internet connection required) (each, a "Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device"). For specifics concerning supported devices, operating systems, web browsers and optimal streaming support please check Movies Anywhere Help Center.
  2. Adding Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices; Limitations. You can add a Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device to your Movies Anywhere account by downloading the Movies Anywhere application to the Movies Anywhere-Compatible Device and by signing into your Movies Anywhere account through the Movies Anywhere application. Please note that you may download Movies Anywhere-eligible movies to a maximum of eight (8) different Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices at any one time. You will not be permitted to download to an additional device once the maximum of eight (8) Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices has been reached. In addition, you may download Movies Anywhere-eligible movies to a maximum of sixteen (16) different Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices within a rolling twelve (12) month period. You may remove or switch any of your eight (8) unique Movies Anywhere-Compatible Devices up to the sixteen (16) different unique devices permitted within a rolling twelve (12) month period.
  3. Fees and Internet Connection. You are solely responsible for determining and paying any third-party fees, charges or taxes in connection with your use of the Movies Anywhere Service including, without limitation, those imposed by any Internet service provider, carrier or governmental entity. You must have a high speed Internet connection in order to access and use certain aspects of the Movies Anywhere Service.

7. USE AND SHARING OF CERTAIN INFORMATION

For more information about Movies Anywhere's collection, use, and sharing of your information please refer to the Movies Anywhere Privacy Policy, which is incorporated herein by this reference.

Movies Anywhere reserves the right to, and you agree that Movies Anywhere may, release your details to system administrators at other sites and to law enforcement agencies in order to assist them in resolving security incidents and violations of law.

8. SUSPENSION AND TERMINATION

You agree that Movies Anywhere may, in its sole discretion and without notice or liability to you, restrict, suspend, or terminate your access to part or all of the Movies Anywhere Service and to any Content if Movies Anywhere believes you are using or have used the Movies Anywhere Service in violation of these Movies Anywhere Terms of Use or applicable law or regulations or in any manner other than for their intended purpose and in accordance with all other guidelines and requirements applicable thereto. Without limiting the foregoing, Movies Anywhere may restrict or suspend your access to your Movies Anywhere account for cause and upon reasonable notice to you, which may be communicated electronically, which includes but is not limited to (a) requests from law enforcement or other government authorities, (b) unexpected technical issues or problems, or (c) if Movies Anywhere reasonably believes that your Movies Anywhere account has been created fraudulently, your Movies Anywhere account has been accessed fraudulently, or anyone uses your Movies Anywhere account to commit fraud or for any purpose other than its intended purpose and in accordance with all of the requirements applicable thereto. Movies Anywhere also reserves the right, after notice to you, to terminate any Movies Anywhere account that remains inactive for one year (failure to log in to your Movies Anywhere account will constitute inactivity for purposes of these Movies Anywhere Terms of Use). In addition, you understand that Movies Anywhere may modify or cease providing all or a portion of the Movies Anywhere Service at any time without notice.

You agree that Movies Anywhere will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such restriction, suspension, or termination of your access to your Movies Anywhere account or Content. We also reserve the right to take legal action against you for violating intellectual property rights, fraud, or similar grounds for termination. Our decision to delay exercising or enforcing any right or remedy under these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such right or remedy with respect to any party.

ON TERMINATION OF YOUR MOVIES ANYWHERE ACCOUNT, WHETHER TERMINATED BASED ON OUR DETERMINATION OR AT YOUR REQUEST, YOU WILL IMMEDIATELY LOSE THE RIGHT TO ACCESS STREAMED CONTENT THROUGH THE MOVIES ANYWHERE SERVICE AND WITHIN A LIMITED PERIOD WILL LOSE THE RIGHT TO VIEW MOVIES ANYWHERE-ELIGIBLE MOVIES DOWNLOADED WITHIN THE MOVIES ANYWHERE SERVICE.

9. BINDING ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

PLEASE READ THIS PROVISION CAREFULLY—YOU ARE AGREEING TO RESOLVE ALL DISPUTES BETWEEN US THROUGH BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND IT INCLUDES A CLASS ACTION WAIVER AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER.

  1. Arbitration of Disputes. There may be instances in which disputes arise between us. You and Movies Anywhere agree to resolve, by binding individual arbitration, all Disputes between you and the Movies Anywhere Parties, except for (x) any claim within the jurisdiction of a small claims court consistent with the jurisdictional and dollar limits that may apply, as long as it is an individual dispute and not a class action; and (y) any dispute relating to the ownership or enforcement of intellectual property rights. "Dispute" includes any claim, dispute, action, or other controversy whether based on past, present, or future events, whether based in contract, tort, statute, regulation, common law, or other legal or equitable basis, between you and us concerning the Movies Anywhere Service, or this exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of these Terms or the formation of this contract, including, without limitation, the arbitrability of any dispute, and any claim that all or any of these Terms of Use are void or voidable.
  2. No Class Action. YOU AND THE Movies Anywhere PARTIES AGREE TO WAIVE CLASS ACTION PRODURES. Neither you nor the Movies Anywhere Parties will seek to have a dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which any party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. You and the Movies Anywhere Parties agree not to, and expressly waive any right to, file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to the arbitration or proceeding. If this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor the Movies Anywhere Parties are entitled to arbitration; instead, all Disputes will be resolved in a court.
  3. Small Claims Court. Subject to applicable jurisdictional requirements, you or the Movies Anywhere Parties may elect to pursue a Dispute in a local small claims court rather than through the Informal Dispute Resolution process described below or arbitration, so long as the matter remains in small claims court and proceeds only on an individual basis. If a party has already submitted an arbitration demand, the other party may, in its sole discretion, inform the arbitral forum that it chooses to have the Dispute heard in small claims court. At that time, the arbitral forum will close the arbitration and the Dispute will be heard in the appropriate small claims court, with no fees due from the arbitration respondent.
  4. Informal Dispute Resolution. In the event of a Dispute, you and the Movies Anywhere Parties agree to attempt to avoid the costs of formal dispute resolution by giving the other party a full and fair opportunity to address and resolve the Dispute informally. Except for those Disputes eligible to be resolved in small claims court, the claiming party must send to the other party a notice of dispute, which is a written statement that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving the notice, detailed factual information sufficient to evaluate the merits of the claiming party’s individualized claim, and the specific relief sought, including whatever amount of money is demanded and the means by which the demanding party calculated the claimed damages. You must send any notice of dispute to Movies Anywhere, 500 South Buena Vista Street, Burbank, California 91521-7620, USA, Attention: Movies Anywhere Legal/Arbitration Notice. We will send any notice of dispute to you at the contact information we have available for you in connection with your Movies Anywhere account.

    You and Movies Anywhere will attempt to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiation within sixty (60) days beginning from the date the notice of dispute is sent. This informal negotiation requires an individual meet-and-confer in person, via teleconference or videoconference, that addresses only the Dispute between you and Movies Anywhere (the “Conference”). If you are represented by counsel, your counsel may participate in the Conference, but you will also need to individually participate. Movies Anywhere will participate in the Conference through one or more representatives, which may include our counsel. After the end of the sixty (60)-day informal negotiation period and not before, and only after the completion of the Conference with respect to a claim, you or we may commence an arbitration proceeding regarding that claim. Nothing in this paragraph is intended to prohibit the parties from engaging in informal communications to resolve the initiating party’s claims before, during, or after any Conference or filing in small claims court. Each party agrees that a court may enter injunctive relief to enforce the pre-filing requirements of this Section 9(d), including an injunction to stay an arbitration that has been commenced in violation of this Section 9(d).
  5. Arbitration Process and Rules. If you and Movies Anywhere do not resolve a dispute by informal negotiation or in small claims court, the dispute shall be resolved by binding arbitration. The Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, including its procedural provisions, governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement, no state law. Any demand for arbitration must be filed with ADR Services, Inc. (“ADR Services”) (https://www.adrservices.com/). If ADR Services is not available to arbitrate the arbitration will be conducted by National Arbitration and Mediation (“NAM”) (https://www.namadr.com/). The rules of the arbitral forum will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent those rules conflict with these Terms. The arbitration will be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.
  6. Venue. Arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online will take place in either Los Angeles, California, or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, whichever is more convenient for you; provided, however, that if you can demonstrate that arbitration in Los Angeles or the borough of Manhattan would create an undue burden to you, the arbitrator may hold an in-person hearing in your hometown area. You and Movies Anywhere agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal or state courts located in either Los Angeles, California, or the borough of Manhattan, New York, New York, which is more convenient for you, in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The arbitrator may award damages to either party individually as a court could, including declaratory or injunctive relief, but only to the extent required to satisfy such party’s individual claim.

    Except as provided above with respect to jurisdiction in Los Angeles, California, and Manhattan, New York, New York, nothing in this arbitration agreement shall be construed as consent by the Movies Anywhere Parties, or their affiliates to the jurisdiction of any other court with regard to disputes, claims, or controversies unrelated to the Movies Anywhere Service, or these Terms.
  7. Fees. If the Movies Anywhere Parties initiate an arbitration against you, we will pay all costs associated with the arbitration, including the entire filing fee. If you are the party initiating an arbitration, you will be responsible for the nonrefundable initial filing fee and other applicable fees, as required by ADR Services or NAM. ADR Services sets forth fees for its service, which are available at https://www.adrservices.com/rate-fee-schedule/. NAM permits any person to request information as to fees for its services at https://www.namadr.com/info-request-form/. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of a claim or the relief sought violate the representation requirements of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11, to the extent permitted by law, the arbitrator shall have the same power to award sanctions consistent with that rule.
  8. Settlement Offers and Offers of Judgment. At least ten (10) calendar days before the date set for an arbitration hearing with respect to a Dispute, you or the Movies Anywhere Parties may serve a written offer of judgment on the other party to allow judgment on specified terms. If the offer is accepted, the offer with proof of acceptance shall be submitted to the arbitrator, who shall enter judgment accordingly. If the offer is not accepted prior to the arbitration hearing or within thirty (30) calendar days after it is made, whichever is first, it shall be deemed withdrawn and cannot be given as evidence in the arbitration. If an offer made by one party is not accepted by the other party, and the other party fails to obtain a more favorable award, the other party shall not recover their post-offer costs and shall pay the offering party’s costs (including all fees paid to the arbitral forum) from the time of the offer.
  9. Arbitration Agreement Survival. This arbitration agreement will survive the termination of your relationship with Movies Anywhere, including any revocation of consent or other action by you to end your participation in the Movies Anywhere Service or any communication with us.
  10. Opt-out. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you do so, neither party can force the other party to arbitrate. To opt out, you must notify us in writing no later than thirty (30) calendar days after first becoming subject to this arbitration agreement; otherwise, you shall be found to arbitrate Disputes on a non-class basis in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of only the arbitration provisions, and not also the class action waiver, the class action waiver still applies. You may opt out of only class action waiver and not also the arbitration provisions. Your opt-out notice must include your name and address, the email address you used to set up your Movies Anywhere account (if you have one), and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement (and, if applicable, that you want to opt out of the class action waiver). You must mail your opt-out notice to P.O. Box 6202, Burbank, CA 91510, USA, Attention: Movies Anywhere Opt-Out. For clarity, opt-out notices submitted via email will not be effective.

If you have questions or concerns about the meaning of any provision of this arbitration agreement, please feel free to seek the counsel of an attorney. We thank you for understanding why it is important that we agree on the process of addressing disputes.

  5. Competitions. Competitions that you enter on the Movies Anywhere Service may have supplemental rules and conditions, but the following general rules apply absent contrary terms in any supplemental rules or conditions for the competition.
    1. Entries. Your competition entry is User Generated Content and subject to all provisions of these Terms that govern your submission and our use of your User Generated Content. We may disqualify entries that are late, misdirected, incomplete, corrupted, lost, illegible or invalid or where appropriate parental consent was not provided. Competition entries are limited to one per person and entries via agents or third parties or the use of multiple identities are not permitted. Use of automated entries, votes or other programs is prohibited and all such entries (or votes) will be disqualified. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or terminate a competition or extend or resume the entry period or disqualify any participant or entry at any time without giving advance notice. We will do so if it cannot be guaranteed the competition can be carried out fairly or correctly for technical, legal or other reasons, or if we suspect that any person has manipulated entries or results, provided false information or acted unethically. If we cancel or terminate a competition, prizes may be awarded in any manner we deem fair and appropriate consistent with local laws governing the competition.
    2. Eligibility. To enter a competition, you must be a registered user of the Movies Anywhere Service and have an active account with current contact information. No purchase is necessary to enter a competition and a purchase will not improve your chances of winning. Competitions are not open to our employees (or their immediate families) or anyone else professionally associated with the competition. If you are under age 18 (or the age of majority under applicable law) and the competition is open to you, we may need your parent or guardian's consent before we can accept your entry. We reserve the right to request proof of identity or to verify eligibility conditions and potential winning entries, and to award any prize to a winner in person. Competitions are void where prohibited or restricted by law. Potential winners who are residents in jurisdictions where competitions require an element of skill may be required to answer a mathematical test in order to be eligible to win a prize.
    3. Prizes. No cash or alternative prizes are available, except that we (or the party providing a prize) reserve the right to substitute a similar prize of equal or greater value. Prizes cannot be transferred (except to a child or other family member) or sold by winners. Only the number of prizes stated for the competition is available to be won and all prizes will be awarded provided a sufficient number of eligible entries are received and prizes are validly claimed by the date provided in connection with the competition, after which no alternate winners will be selected or unclaimed prizes awarded. Unless otherwise disclosed in the prize description prior to entry, winners are responsible for all costs and expenses associated with claiming a prize. All taxes are solely the responsibility of each winner, although we reserve the right to withhold applicable taxes and each winner agrees to complete any required tax forms. Your acceptance of a prize constitutes agreement to participate in reasonable publicity related to the competition and grants us an unconditional right to us to use your name, town or city and state, province or country, likeness, prize information and statements by you about the competition for publicity, advertising and promotional purposes and to comply with applicable law and regulations, all without additional permission or compensation. As a condition of receiving a prize, winners (or their parents or guardians) may be required to sign and return an affidavit of eligibility, liability release and publicity release.
  6. Submissions and Unsolicited Ideas Policies. Our policy does not allow us to accept or consider unsolicited creative ideas, suggestions, or materials. In connection with anything you submit to us, whether or not solicited by us, you agree that creative ideas, suggestions, or other materials you submit are not being made in confidence or trust and that no confidential or fiduciary relationship is intended or created between you and us in any way, and that you have no expectation of review, compensation, or consideration of any type. We do not claim ownership over any ideas, suggestions, or other materials submitted; however, as to such materials you grant to Movies Anywhere a non-exclusive, sublicensable, irrevocable, and royalty-free worldwide license under all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy and publicity rights, and other intellectual property rights to use, reproduce, transmit, display, create derivative works, or otherwise exploit them for any purpose without limit as to time, manner, and frequency of use, without further notice to you, with or without attribution, and without the requirement of permission from or payment to you or any other person or entity.

THE LIABILITY LIMITATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10(I) APPLY UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY (TORT, CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE) AND EVEN IF THE MOVIES ANYWHERE PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
