You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws. Any use in contravention of this provision or any provision of these Terms is at your own risk.
User Generated Content
We may provide user comment areas, message boards, interactive user communities, or other areas on the Website (“Community Forums“) where users can interact with others and with us, as well as have the opportunity to submit photographs, writings, music, video, audio recordings, computer graphics, pictures, data, questions, comments, suggestions, or other content, any of which may include personal information (collectively, “User Generated Content“). User Generated Content includes any information that you publish through any social media platform (e.g., Instagram, Twitter, Facebook, or Pinterest) with a hashtag that relates to one or more of our brands, and that you give us permission to use. User Generated Content may include your personal information.
You are responsible for User Generated Content that you post. Under no circumstances will we be liable in any way for any User Generated Content. This means that you, not APCC, are entirely responsible for all User Generated Content that you post and that you can be held personally liable for comments that are defamatory, obscene, or libelous, or that violate these Terms or applicable law, an obligation of confidentiality, or the rights of others. If any part of the User Generated Content 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 User Generated Content posted on or through the Website, we cannot and do not warrant or guarantee the truthfulness, integrity, suitability, or quality of that User Generated Content. You also agree and understand that by accessing the Website, you may encounter User Generated Content that you may consider to be objectionable. We have no responsibility for any User Generated Content, 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 User Generated Content posted, emailed, transmitted, or otherwise made available on or through the Website.
You own User Generated Content, but we may use it. You own the copyright in any original User Generated Content you submit. We do not claim any copyrights in User Generated Content. However, by using the Website, you are granting us and any of 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 User Generated Content 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, you should not post any User Generated Content that you do not wish to license to us, including any photographs, videos, confidential information, or product ideas.
We may disclose and/or remove User Generated Content. APCC has certain rights. We have the right (but do not assume the obligation) to: (a) monitor all User Generated Content; (b) require that you avoid certain subjects; (c) remove or block any User Generated Content at any time without notice at our sole and absolute discretion; (d) disclose any User Generated Content 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 a court order, to prevent or investigate a possible crime or other violation of law, to protect the rights of APCC or others, or to enforce these Terms; and (e) terminate your access to and use of the Websites, 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 User Generated Content you post, and that you will retain ownership thereof as described above.
Restrictions on User Generated Content. It is a condition of these Terms that you do not upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available any User Generated Content that:
- is unlawful, harmful, hateful, threatening, abusive, harassing, libelous, defamatory, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane, racially disparaging, indecent, or invasive of another’s privacy;
- constitutes or encourages activity illegal under criminal or civil law;
- is false, misleading, deceptive, inaccurate, fraudulent, or misrepresents your identity or affiliation with a person or company;
- 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);
- violates or infringes upon the rights of others;
- contains the image, name, or likeness of anyone other than yourself;
- requests or solicits any personal or private information from any individual;

- promotes violence or describes how to perform a violent act;
- impersonates any person or entity; or
- violates any local, state, national, or international law, rule, or regulation.
By posting User Generated Content, you represent and warrant that (i) you own or otherwise control all of the rights to the User Generated Content and have the right to grant the license set forth in these Terms; (ii) the User Generated Content is accurate, and (iii) you are at least eighteen (18) years old and you have read and understood—and your User Generated Content fully complies with—these Terms and applicable laws and will not cause injury to any person or entity.
You understand and acknowledge that: (a) APCC has wide access to content, information, ideas, suggestions, designs, and other materials that may be similar or identical to materials you submit to us; and (b) you will not be entitled to any compensation (nor will APCC be obligated to negotiate with you) as a result of our use of any similar or identical material.
APCC is not obligated to post, keep, or use your User Generated Content.
Removal of Material
In general. On certain pages of the Websites, we may provide to you a tool to report objectionable User Generated Content. If that tool is not available, you can report objectionable User Generated Content and other objectionable Material by contacting us using the information provided below. While we do not have any obligation to remove Material from the Website merely because of a removal request, we will review all such requests and will remove Material that we determine should be removed, in our sole discretion and in accordance with these Terms and applicable law. Please be aware, however, that if the Material has already been distributed to other websites or published in other media, we will not be able to recapture and delete it. Also, a back-up or residual copy of the Material we remove from the Websites may remain on back-up servers.
Violation of copyrights. APCC 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.
Digital Millennium Copy Right Act. 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 the Websites or has been otherwise copied and made available on the Websites in a manner that constitute 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 the Websites (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;
- 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 submitted via popcorn@jollytime.com; or mailed to:

Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with 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
Any suggestions or feedback you post on or through the Website that is specifically about how we can improve the Website and the products and services we make available through the Website (“Feedback“) will be and will remain our exclusive property.

APPLICABLE LAW MAY NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES, SO ALL OR PART OF THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE IN ANY MANNER FOR ANY USER GENERATED CONTENT. ALTHOUGH WE INCLUDE STRICT PROVISIONS REGARDING USER GENERATED CONTENT IN THESE TERMS, WE DO NOT CONTROL AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR WHAT USERS POST USING THE WEBSITE AND ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OFFENSIVE, INAPPROPRIATE, OBSCENE, UNLAWFUL, INFRINGING, OR OTHERWISE OBJECTIONABLE OR ILLEGAL USER GENERATED CONTENT YOU MAY ENCOUNTER IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE.

You have specific legal rights related to your use of the Website and you may also have other rights which vary from country to country. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain kinds of limitations or exclusions of liability, so the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms may not apply to you. Other jurisdictions allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. Your statutory rights as a consumer, if any, are not affected by these provisions, and we do not seek to exclude or limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.
Before seeking legal recourse for any harm you believe you have suffered arising from or relating to your use of the Website, you agree to inform us in writing and to give us thirty (30) days to cure the harm before initiating any action. You must initiate any cause of action within one (1) year after the claim has arisen, or you will be barred from pursuing any cause of action.
Indemnity
You agree to indemnify and hold harmless APCC and the APCC Parties, and its and their respective officers, agents, partners, and employees, from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of your use of the Websites in violation of these Terms and/or arising from a breach of these Terms and/or any breach of your representations and warranties set forth above and/or if any material that you post using the Website causes us to be liable to another. We reserve the right to assume the exclusive defense of any such claim, and you agree to provide us with such reasonable cooperation and information as we may request. You will not in any event settle any claim without the prior written consent of a duly authorized employee of APCC.
ARBITRATION AGREEMENT WITH CLASS ACTION WAIVER
Mandatory Binding Individual Arbitration. Except as expressly provided below, you agree that any dispute, claim, case, or controversy (whether based in tort, contract, statute, regulation, ordinance, equity, or any other legal theory) between you and APCC (whether arising out of or relating to past, present, or future acts or omissions) (“Claims“) shall be exclusively resolved by binding arbitration on an individual basis, rather than in court (“Arbitration Agreement“).
Waiver of Class Actions. You and APCC each agree that each party will assert Claims in arbitration only in our individual capacity, and not as a representative or member of any purported class. We each agree that we will not participate in any class, mass, collective, consolidated, private attorney general, or other representative arbitration proceeding. Each party agrees that the arbitrator has no authority to arbitrate Claims on a class-wide basis and shall not consolidate, combine, or jointly arbitrate Claims of more than one (1) person in a single arbitration.
Waiver of Jury Trial. Each party waives its constitutional and statutory rights to go to court and have a trial in front of a judge or a jury, electing instead to resolve by binding arbitration all Claims.
Opt-out. You may opt out of this Arbitration Agreement if you send APCC a signed, written opt-out notice within thirty (30) days of your initial visit to the Websites. Any opt-out notice shall be sent to APCC at:

Claims Not Subject to Arbitration. There are only three (3) exceptions to this Arbitration Agreement:
- Small Claims. Either party may bring individual Claims in small claims court.
- Personal Injury Claims. Both parties must litigate personal injury Claims in court. For purposes of this exception, personal injury Claims are claims arising from injury to the physical structure of the human body.
- Emergency Equitable Relief. Either party may seek temporary injunctive relief or other equitable relief in court pending arbitration. A request for interim measures will not be deemed a waiver of any other rights or obligations under this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Procedures. Either party may initiate an arbitration proceeding, which will be conducted by a single neutral arbitrator.
Arbitration Provider. Each party will initiate arbitration before JAMS, Inc. (“JAMS“) or any successor to JAMS, which is an alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider“). In the event JAMS is unwilling or unable to set a hearing date within fourteen (14) days of the filing of a “Demand for Arbitration”, then either party can elect to have the arbitration administered by another mutually agreeable ADR Provider who will hear the case.
Arbitration Rules. The arbitration will be conducted under the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (available at www.jamsadr.com) (“Arbitration Rules“). The Arbitration Rules will govern all aspects of the arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with this Arbitration Agreement.
Arbitration Location. If an in-person hearing is required, then it will take place in Minneapolis, MN, Chicago, IL, New York City, NY, Los Angeles, CA, Atlanta, GA or Dallas, TX (whichever is closest to your residence), unless the claimant primarily resides outside the United States (in which case the arbitrator will give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time, and place of any oral hearings).
Fees. Payment of all filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the Arbitration Rules.
Arbitrator’s Authority and Award. The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of the parties, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator will have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any Claim. The arbitrator will have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and this Arbitration Agreement. The arbitrator will issue a written award and reasoned statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. Any award will be subject to judicial confirmation or entry in any court having jurisdiction.
Governing Law. This Arbitration Agreement is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law.
Confidentiality. All aspects of the arbitration proceeding, including but not limited to, the award of the arbitrator and compliance therewith, will be strictly confidential. The parties agree to maintain confidentiality unless otherwise required by law. This paragraph will not prevent a party from submitting to a court of law any information necessary to enforce this Arbitration Agreement or to enforce an arbitration award.
MISCELLANEOUS
No Assignment
These Terms are not assignable, transferable, or sublicensable by you except with the prior written consent of a duly authorized APCC employee.
Waiver
Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by APCC of any breach of any provision of these Terms or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms.
Severability
If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
Survival
The following terms shall survive any termination of these Terms or discontinuation of the Website: APCC’s reservation of all intellectual property rights including rights to any User Generated Content or Feedback provided to APCC, restrictions on use of the Website, disclaimer of warranties, indemnification and limitation of liability, general terms, and any other terms that by their nature are intended to survive.
Governing Law
These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of Indiana without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule.
Entire Agreement
These Terms (together with our Privacy Policy and any additional terms applicable to you) contain the entire understanding and agreement between you and APCC with respect to the Website and supersede all previous communications, negotiations, and agreements, whether oral, written, or electronic, between you and APCC with respect to the Website and your use of the Website.
