  1. SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) by and between the UHD Alliance, Inc.  (“we”, “us”, “our” or “UHD”) and you (“you” , “your” or “User”) governs your use of the Web sites maintained by UHD ( the “UHD Websites”) together with all information, content, products, materials and services made available to you through the UHD Websites by us and/or third parties (which together with the UHD Websites shall be collectively referred to as the “Services”). By using or otherwise accessing the Services, or any component thereof, in any manner whatsoever, you agree to be bound by and comply with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. If you do not agree to this Agreement, do not access or use the Services in any manner.

When we refer to the “use” of the Services in this Agreement, we mean any actual or attempted access or use of the Services, including, without limitation, any transmission, exchange of information or communication associated with the Services. These terms and conditions, together with any other policies, rules and provisions which are described, linked or otherwise referred to and form a part of this Agreement, including, without limitation our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and us, superseding any and all prior or inconsistent understandings, representations or agreements regarding the Services.

UHD reserves the right to modify the terms of this Agreement at any time, and will post a notice of such changes. The changes become effective immediately upon posting (the “Effective Date”). If any change to the Agreement is not acceptable to you, you must stop using the Services. Your use of the Services after the Effective Date shall constitute your acceptance of such changes. If we make any new services available, they will be considered a part of the Services and your use of them will be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement unless we notify you that different terms and conditions apply. You must also comply with any additional terms which apply to third-party content, material, information, or other services.

  1. GENERAL

UHD is based in the United States. UHD makes no claims that the content on any of the UHD Websites is appropriate or may be downloaded outside of the United States. Access to the content may not be legal by certain persons or in certain countries. If you access any of the UHD Websites from outside the United States, you do so at your own risk and are responsible for compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction from which you accessed the UHD Websites. This Agreement is governed in all respects by the laws of the State of New York, excluding New York’s conflict of laws provisions. The provisions of the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement. A party may give notice to the other party only in writing at that party’s principal place of business, attention of that party’s principal legal officer, or at such other address or by such other method as the party shall specify in writing. Notice shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, or, if sent by certified mail with postage prepaid, 5 business days after the date of mailing, or, if sent by overnight courier with postage prepaid, 7 business days after the date of mailing. If any provision herein is held to be unenforceable, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being affected in any way. Further, the parties agree to replace such unenforceable provision with an enforceable provision that most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the unenforceable provision. Section headings are for reference purposes only and do not define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. Any action or proceeding arising out of or related to this Agreement or your use of any of the UHD Websites or Services must be brought in the state or federal courts serving the County of New York, New York, and you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

  1. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

This Agreement together with the Privacy Policy constitutes the entire understanding between you and us with respect to the subject matter hereof, and revokes and supersedes any and all oral or written agreements or understandings with respect to such subject matter and is intended as a final expression of our agreement. This Agreement shall take precedence over any other documents which may conflict with this Agreement.
