1. Access and Passwords

As part of the subscription process for this Site, you have selected or been assigned a particular password and IMDb ID in accordance with IMDb's password and IMDb ID guidelines. YOU AGREE THAT YOU ARE THE ONLY INDIVIDUAL ENTITLED TO ACCESS THE SITE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR IMDb ID, AND YOU AGREE NOT TO PERMIT OTHERS TO ACCESS THE SITE USING YOUR PASSWORD OR IMDb ID. You agree that all actions taken by you, or any other user that accesses the Site using your IMDb ID, at or through the Site will be attributed to and legally bind you, even with respect to acts for which the user had no actual authority or made an error. You assume all resulting liability from use of the Site and any services available on it by you or others using your password or IMDb ID. If you lose your password, please visit http://www.imdbpro.com/register/forgotten to obtain a new password.

2. Subscription Fees and Payments

You can always find the current Subscription Fees posted by clicking this link. Your subscription will continue and renew automatically, unless terminated by IMDb or until you click the "Cancel" button, located at the bottom of each page of the Site, to confirm your decision to terminate your subscription. If there are any annual, monthly, or similar periodic fees for your subscription (including any applicable taxes), these fees will be billed automatically to the credit card designated during the registration process for the Site or subsequently designated by you to IMDb, at the start of the annual, monthly or similar period, and at the start of each renewal period, unless you terminate your subscription before the relevant period begins. You agree to pay or have paid all fees and charges incurred in connection with your IMDb ID and password for the Site (including any applicable taxes) at the rates in effect when the charges were incurred. All fees and charges (including any applicable taxes) are nonrefundable. IMDb may change the fees and charges then in effect, or add new fees or charges, by giving you notice in advance. All fees and charges (including any applicable taxes) incurred in connection with your IMDb ID and password will be billed to the credit card designated during the registration process for the Site or subsequently designated by you to IMDb. If you want to designate a different credit card or there is a change in credit card validity or expiration date, please access your "Account Settings" tab to update your account. If you believe someone has accessed the Site using your IMDb ID and password without your authorization, you must e-mail the IMDb Help Desk. You also are responsible for any fees or charges incurred to access the Site through an Internet access provider or other third party service. YOU, AND NOT IMDB, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

3. Payment Methods

If we are unable to process your payment using your designated payment method, we reserve the right to charge any payment method we have on file for you. If you purchase a subscription or start a free trial for a subscription, your subscription will automatically continue, and you authorize us (without further notice, unless required by applicable law) to collect the then-applicable periodic subscription fee including any taxes, using any payment method we have on file for you. We will continue to bill you for the relevant subscription service until cancelled. If all payment methods we have on file for you are declined for payment of your subscription fee, your subscription will be cancelled unless you provide us with a new payment method. If you provide us with a new payment method and are successfully charged before your subscription is cancelled, your new subscription period will be based on the original billing date and not the date of the successful charge. You can use the “Account Settings” page to update your designated payment method(s).

The Site may contain bulletin board services, news groups, social media functionality, forums, breakdowns, casting notices, casting notice submissions, and/or other message or communication facilities ("Communication Services") designed to enable you to communicate with others. You agree to use the Communication Services only to submit or post messages and material that are proper and, when applicable, related to the particular Communication Service. You are also prohibited from submitting to, posting on or transmitting through IMDb.com any unlawful, harmful, threatening, abusive, harassing, defamatory, vulgar, obscene, sexually explicit, profane, hateful, racially, ethnically, or otherwise objectionable material of any kind, including but not limited to any material that encourages conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability, or otherwise violate any applicable local, state, national, or international law. Content that consists of or contains software viruses, political campaigning, commercial solicitation, chain letters, mass mailings, or any form of "spam" is prohibited. You may not use a false e-mail address, impersonate any person or entity, or otherwise mislead as to the origin of your posted content.

Any opinions, advice, statements, services, offers, or other information that constitutes part of the content expressed or made available by third parties, including through use of the Communication Services, are those of the respective authors or distributors and not of IMDb nor its affiliates, nor any of their officers, directors, employees, or agents. IMDb and its designees have the right (but not the obligation) in their sole discretion to refuse, delete or move any content that is available via the Communication Services. Without limiting the foregoing, IMDb and its designees shall have the right to remove any content that violates this Agreement or is otherwise objectionable. You specifically agree that IMDb is not responsible for any content sent using and/or included in the Site by any third party.

You agree that IMDb is not an employer with respect to any employment opportunity advertised on IMDb, whether such employment opportunity is advertised through the Communication Services or otherwise. IMDb is not responsible for any employment, hiring, or salary decisions made by you or any other person, even if such person used the Communication Services to advertise the employment opportunity or communicate the employment, hiring or salary decision.

IMDb makes no representations, warranties or guarantees regarding the Communication Services, including as to: (i) the effectiveness of the Communication Services in meeting your employment needs or objectives; (ii) the ability of any user of the Communication Services to offer the employment opportunities or to fill any such employment opportunities such user is advertising through the Communication Services; (iii) any roles, jobs, resumes, data or other advertisements or information conveyed to you through the Communication Services; or (iv) the truthfulness, accuracy, legality, completeness, timeliness or reliability of any information transmitted through the Communication Services. IMDb does not pre-screen or approve in advance a user’s use of the Communication Services or other third party content and does not investigate or monitor the quality, safety, or other legality of such uses of the Communication Services or other third party content. While IMDb reserves the right in its sole discretion to remove or modify any information available on the Site, including information transmitted through the Communication Services such as breakdowns, casting notices, or casting notice submissions, IMDb does not assume any obligation to do so and to the extent permitted by law, disclaims any liability for failing to take any such action.

You acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible for the accuracy, completeness, legality of, form, substance and completeness in connection with all uses of the Communication Services. When using the Communication Services (for example, by posting breakdowns, casting notices, or casting notice submissions), you will not make any inaccurate, false or misleading statements and you will not omit any information the absence of which would cause such use of the Communication Services to be misleading or inaccurate.

You may not use the Communication Services, including breakdowns, casting notices, or other advertisements for employment, in a manner that does not comply with applicable local, national and international laws, rules and regulations, including laws relating to (i) labor and employment, equal employment opportunity and employment eligibility requirements, non-discrimination based on age, race, color, religion, sex or national origin, and (ii) data privacy, data access and use, and commercial solicitation or advertising. You will not use the Communication Services to promote any opportunity that does not represent a bona fide employment opportunity.

You acknowledge there are risks resulting from your use of the Communication Services, including to the risks related to interacting with strangers or people acting under false pretenses. You are responsible for using caution and common sense.

If you cancel your IMDb Pro subscription or if your subscription is terminated, all of your account information, including any saved resume data and any information stored in connection with your use of the Communication Services, such as casting notices or breakdowns you’ve posted or any casting submissions or other responses, may be deleted.

20. Applicable Law and Disputes

This Agreement is governed by the laws of the State of Washington, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Any dispute or claim relating in any way to your use of this Site, goods, or services sold or distributed by or through this Site will be resolved by binding arbitration, rather than in court, except that you may assert claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law apply to this agreement.

There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. However, an arbitrator can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief or statutory damages), and must follow the terms of this Agreement as a court would.
To begin an arbitration proceeding, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to our registered agent Corporation Service Company, 300 Deschutes Way SW, Suite 304, Tumwater, WA 98051. The arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) under its rules, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes. The AAA’s rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s rules. We will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. Likewise, IMDb will not seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines the claims are frivolous. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed location.
You and IMDb each agree that any dispute resolution proceedings will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, consolidated or representative action. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration you and IMDb each waive any right to a jury trial. You and IMDb also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

21. Amendments

IMDb may change the provisions of this Agreement. When IMDb changes the terms of this Agreement, IMDb will notify you by e-mail or online postings on the Site. The changes will also appear in this document, which you can access any time by selecting Subscriber Agreement at the bottom of any page of the Site. You already agreed to be bound by the changes when you first subscribed to the site. If you do not agree to be bound by the changes, you should not use the Site again and you should cancel your subscription to the Site. Even if you have not clicked on the "I Agree" button when subscribing, if you use the Site after you have been notified of a change to this Agreement, you are agreeing now to be bound by that change.

22. Entire Agreement; Severability; No Waiver

This Agreement (including all documents incorporated by reference) is the entire agreement between the parties for its subject matter and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications between the parties. No term of this Agreement may be waived by IMDb except in a signed, non-electronic writing signed by an authorized representative of IMDb.

23. General

If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties agree that its remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, provided that the allocation of risks described herein is given effect to the fullest extent possible. Our failure to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and IMDb or its affiliates as a result of this Agreement or your use of the Site. Whenever used in this Agreement, unless otherwise specified, the terms: “includes”, “including”, “e.g.”, “for example”, “such as” and other similar terms are deemed to include the term “without limitation” immediately thereafter and the terms “dollars” and “$” mean United States dollars.
