Interstate Nature of Communications

When you utilize the Gawkk Service, you acknowledge that in using the Gawkk Services to send electronic communications, you will be causing communications to be sent through Gawkk's computer network, which are located in various locations in the United States. As a result, and also as a result of Gawkk's business practices and the nature of electronic communications, even communications that seem to be intrastate in nature can result in the transmission of interstate communications regardless of where you are physically located at the time of transmission. Accordingly, by agreeing to this Terms of Service through any use of the Service, you acknowledge that use of the service results in interstate data transmissions.

Special Admonitions for International Use

Recognizing the global nature of the Internet, you agree to comply with all local rules regarding online conduct and acceptable Content. Specifically, you agree to comply with all applicable laws regarding the transmission of technical data exported from the United States or the country in which you reside.

Content Submitted or Made Available for Inclusion in the Service

Gawkk does not claim ownership of Content you submit or make available for inclusion on the Service. However, with respect to Content you submit or make available for inclusion on publicly accessible areas of the Service, you grant Gawkk a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sub-licensable license to use, distribute, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, publicly perform and publicly display such Content (in whole or in part) and to incorporate such Content into other works in any format or medium now known or later developed.

By transmitting or submitting Content to the Service, you further hereby grant Gawkk, its affiliates and sub-licensees the right to use the name, identifier, or any portion thereof, submitted in connection with such Content, if they so choose. Please note that Gawkk, as a policy, does not actively edit User Content. We either leave the Content posted as is or take it down entirely. However, in some situations, certain modifications may occur without our active participation, such as due to our obscenity filtering software, which may automatically change profane language to characters such as '@#!%'.

You acknowledge and agree that you will not post on the service any content for which you do not have the clear right to do so and to grant the rights granted above. Please note that content licensed under a Creative Commons license may not be posted on the Site because such licenses do not permit you to grant the necessary rights and may not be applicable to such use in some cases. Therefore, such content may only be linked to on the Service. You further acknowledge and agree that you are solely responsible and liable for any content that you post on the Service and for any infringement or other liability that may result.

You represent and warrant that (a) all Content is either wholly original to you, or all third party rights therein have been fully cleared for use as contemplated by this Agreement, and that you have the right to grant the rights granted herein without violating the rights of any third party; (b) the Content and the posting thereof on the Site does and will not, in any way, violate or breach any of the terms of this TOS or violate or infringe upon the rights of any third party, and (c) Gawkk shall not in any circumstance be required to pay or incur any sums to any person or entity as a result of its use or exploitation of the Content unless otherwise agreed by Gawkk.

Without limiting the foregoing, Gawkk reserves the right to use the User Content as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, deleting, rejecting, or refusing to post it. Gawkk may, but is under no obligation to, offer you the opportunity to edit, delete or otherwise modify the Content once it has been submitted to Gawkk. Gawkk shall not be obligated to enforce any form of attribution by third parties and shall not be responsible for any third party use of Content.

If it is determined that you possess any moral rights (including rights of attribution or integrity) in the Content, you hereby declare that (a) you have no objection to the publication, use, modification, or deletion and exploitation of the Content by Gawkk or its licensees, successors and assigns; (b) you forever waive and agree not to claim or assert any entitlement to any and all moral rights of an author in any of the Content; and (c) you forever release Gawkk, and its licensees, successors and assigns, from any claims that you could otherwise assert against Gawkk by virtue of any such moral rights.

Gawkk is for collaborative discovery and discussion of videos, not self-promotion. You agree not to post to the Service any links or other Content which is intended to or may result in any monetary compensation or other benefit to you, including without limitation any affiliate links.

Providing Gawkk with Counter-Notification

If we remove or disable access to content in response to an infringement notice, we will make reasonable attempts to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site or content.

The failure of Gawkk to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS 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 the TOS remain in full force and effect.

The TOS and the relationship between you and Gawkk shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Gawkk agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of New York, New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, (but without limiting Gawkk's right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction), any disputes arising with respect to this Agreement shall be referred to an arbitrator affiliated with JAMS, The Resolution Experts. The arbitrator shall be selected by joint agreement of the parties. In the event the parties cannot agree on an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the initiating party providing the other party with written notice that it plans to seek arbitration, the parties shall each select an arbitrator affiliated with JAMS, which arbitrators shall jointly select a third such arbitrator to resolve the dispute. The written decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties. The arbitration proceeding shall be carried on and heard in New York, NY using the English language and pursuant to the rules of JAMS. In any action or proceeding to enforce rights under the Terms of Use, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover costs and attorneys' fees.

Both parties agree that the Terms of Use is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements, communications and other understandings relating to the subject matter of the Terms of Use, and that all modifications must be in a writing signed by both parties, except as otherwise provided herein.
