Genius TERMS OF SERVICE

Last Updated: June 24, 2020

Welcome to the services operated by Genius Media Group, Inc ("Genius," "we,"
"us" or "our"), consisting of the website available at genius.com, the Genius
Live website available at live.genius.com ("Genius Live") and the other online
and/or mobile services, websites and software provided by Genius (collectively
the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, you ("you" or "your"),
signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by these Genius
Terms of Service (as amended from time to time, "Terms") and to the collection,
use, and disclosure of your information as set forth in our Privacy Policy, as
modified from time to time and which is incorporated by reference herein.
These Terms apply to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service
("Users").

If you are a United States Federal Agency, this Amendment is applied to the
Terms of Service.

We provide the Service for your use subject to the Terms. We reserve the right,
in our sole discretion, to change or modify portions of these Terms at any time.
If we modify these Terms, we will post a notice at the top of our Service for a
period of seven (7) days. Your continued use of the Service constitutes your 
cknowledgement of, acceptance of, and agreement to the revised Terms. You agree
to periodically visit this page to review the current Terms so you are aware of
any revision to which you are bound. We will indicate at the top of this page
the date these terms were last revised. If you do not agree to abide by these
or any future Terms, do not use or access (or continue to use or access) the
Service.

Additional terms and conditions may apply to certain components or features of
or provided via the Service (including Genius Live), and you agree that you
shall be subject to any such terms that may be posted via the Service or
otherwise made available to you from time to time. All such terms are hereby
incorporated by reference into these Terms.

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY TO ENSURE THAT YOU UNDERSTAND EACH PROVISION.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY
TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL
BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS.

THE SERVICE MAY CONTAIN CONTENT THAT IS INACCURATE, OBJECTIONABLE, INAPPROPRIATE
FOR CHILDREN, OR OTHERWISE UNSUITED TO YOUR PURPOSE, AND YOU AGREE THAT GENIUS
SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES YOU ALLEGE IN INCUR AS A RESULT OF ANY
EXPOSURE TO SUCH CONTENT. YOU USE THE SERVICE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Eligibility

This Service is intended solely for users who are 13 years of age or older. Any
registration by, use of or access to the Service by anyone under 13 is
unauthorized and in violation of these Terms. By using the Service, you
represent and warrant that you are 13 years of age or older.

The Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”) requires that online
service providers obtain parental consent before they knowingly collect Personal
Data online from children who are under 13. We do not knowingly collect or
solicit Personal Data from children under 13; if you are a child under 13,
please do not attempt to register for the Service or send any Personal Data
about yourself to us. If we learn we have collected Personal Data from a child
under 13, we will delete that information as quickly as possible. If you believe
that a child under 13 may have provided us Personal Data, please contact us
at privacy@genius.com. Please note that if you are located in the European
Union, we do not knowingly collect or solicit Personal Data from children under
16, so if you are a child under 16 and you are located in the European Union,
you should not attempt to register for the Service or send us any Personal Data.

Copyright Complaints: Genius respects the intellectual property of others, and
we ask our Users to do the same. If you believe that your work has been copied

property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Genius of your
infringement claim in accordance with the procedure below.

As set forth in our Copyright Policy, Genius will process and investigate
notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual
property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement.
A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Genius'
DMCA Agent at dmca@genius.com (Subject line: "DMCA Takedown Request"). You may
also contact us by mail at:

Genius
92 Third Street
Brooklyn NY 11231

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following
information:

    an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on
    behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
    a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that
    you claim has been infringed;
    a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located
    on the site or Service, with enough detail that we may find it on the
    Service;

    a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use
    is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its

    a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above
    information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or
    intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or
    intellectual property owner‘s behalf.

Counter-Notice: If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to
which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization
from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law,
to post and use the content in your User Content, you may send a written
counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

    your physical or electronic signature;
    identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has
    been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was
    removed or disabled;
    a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed
    or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content;
    and
    your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that
    you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court located within the
    judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is
    outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Genius may
    be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who
    provided the original complaint or an agent of such person.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Genius will send a copy
of the counter-notice to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright
owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member
or User, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to
14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole
discretion.

Repeat Infringer Policy: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law,
Genius has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at
Genius's sole discretion, Users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. Genius
may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Service and/or terminate the
memberships of any Users who infringe any intellectual property rights of
others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Genius shall have no liability to you in connection with any such transmission,
whether or not that transmission contains information associated with or
originating from Genius.

Third Party Services

you are allowing us to pass your log-in information to these service providers
for this purpose. For more information about the implications of activating
these third party services and Genius's use, storage and disclosure of
information related to you and your use of such services within Genius

FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF
THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS
TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

The Service is controlled and operated from facilities in the United States.
Genius makes no representations that the Service is appropriate or available
for use in other locations. Those who access or use the Service from other
jurisdictions do so at their own volition and are entirely responsible for
compliance with all applicable United States and local laws and regulations,
including but not limited to export and import regulations. You may not use the
Service if you are a resident of a country embargoed by the United States, or
are a foreign person or entity blocked or denied by the United States
government. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, all materials found on the
Service are solely directed to individuals, companies, or other entities
located in the United States.

Governing Law, Arbitration, and Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver.

Governing Law: You agree that: (i) the Service shall be deemed solely based in
New York; and (ii) the Service shall be deemed a passive one that does not give
rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in
jurisdictions other than New York. These Terms will be governed by the internal
substantive laws of the State of New York, without respect to its conflict of
laws principles. The parties acknowledge that these Terms evidence a transaction
involving interstate commerce. Notwithstanding the preceding sentences with
respect to the substantive law, any arbitration conducted pursuant to these
Terms shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16). The
application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International
Sale of Goods is expressly excluded. You agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in New York, New York for
any actions for which Genius retains the right to seek injunctive or other
equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or
threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of its copyrights,
trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property or
proprietary rights, as set forth in the Arbitration provision below, including
any provisional relief required to prevent irreparable harm. You agree that
New York, New York is the proper forum for any appeals of an arbitration award
or for trial court proceedings in the event that the arbitration provision below
is found to be unenforceable.

Arbitration: READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO
ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF
FROM GENIUS. For any dispute with Genius, you agree to first contact us
at terms@genius.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In
the unlikely event that Genius has not been able to resolve a dispute it has
with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute,
or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief
as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to these
Terms, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, "Claims"), by
binding arbitration by JAMS, Inc. ("JAMS"), under the Optional Expedited
Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein.
JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted
in New York, New York, unless you and Genius agree otherwise. If you are using
the Service for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying
any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS
rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of 
arbitration, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable costs for expert and
other witnesses. If you are using the Service for non-commercial purposes:
(i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless
you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award 
rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your
reasonable attorney's fees and your reasonable costs for expert and other
witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent
jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve
you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process.
Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court
of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section shall be deemed as preventing
Genius from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as
necessary to protect any of Genius's proprietary interests.

Class Action/Jury Trial Waiver: WITH RESPECT TO ALL PERSONS AND ENTITIES,
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THEY HAVE OBTAINED OR USED THE SERVICE FOR PERSONAL,
COMMERCIAL OR OTHER PURPOSES, ALL CLAIMS MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTIES'
INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED
CLASS ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THIS WAIVER APPLIES TO CLASS ARBITRATION, AND,
UNLESS WE AGREE OTHERWISE, THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE
PERSON'S CLAIMS. YOU AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THIS AGREEMENT, YOU AND GENIUS
ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS
ACTION, COLLECTIVE ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR OTHER
REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OF ANY KIND.

Termination

In addition to the termination rights set forth elsewhere herein, you agree
that Genius, in its sole discretion, may suspend or terminate your account
(or any part thereof) or use of the Service and remove and discard any content
(including without limitation your User Content) within the Service, for any
reason, including, without limitation, for lack of use or if Genius believes
that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of
these Terms. Any suspected fraudulent, abusive or illegal activity that may be
grounds for termination of your use of Service may be referred to appropriate
law enforcement authorities. Genius may also in its sole discretion and at any
time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without
notice. You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any
provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge
and agree that Genius may immediately deactivate or delete your account and all
related information and files in your account and/or bar any further access to
such files or the Service. Further, you agree that Genius shall not be liable
to you or any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.

User Disputes

You agree that you are solely responsible for your interactions with any other
User in connection with the Service and Genius will have no liability or
responsibility with respect thereto. Genius reserves the right, but has no
obligation, to become involved in any way with disputes between you and any
other User of the Service or to elect to display only certain of the User
content submitted in connection with a particular Genius subdomain.

Assignment

These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be
transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Genius without
restriction. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation hereof shall
be null and void.

General

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and Genius and govern
your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Genius
with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and
conditions that may apply when you use certain features of the Service,
affiliate or third-party services, third-party content or third-party software.
The failure of Genius to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these
Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision
of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the
parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the
parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of
these Terms remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any
statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or
related to use of the Service or these Terms must be filed within one (1) year
after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred, unless required
otherwise by applicable law. A printed version of these Terms and of any notice
given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative
proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and
subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records
originally generated and maintained in printed form. The section titles in
these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
Notices to you may be made via either email or regular mail. The Service may
also provide notices to you of changes to these Terms or other matters by
displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Service.
