J. Procedure for Reporting Claims of Copyright or Other Intellectual Property Infringements
Starz Studio respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.
Starz Studio’s intellectual property policy is to remove or disable access to material that Starz Studio believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property owner or his or her agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third party by being made available through the Service.
Starz Studio has discretion to terminate the Account of any user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon Starz Studio’s own determination.
If you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you own or control, then please promptly send a "Notification of Claimed Infringement" containing the following information to the Copyright Agent identified below. Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by Starz Studio with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control, and you hereby consent to Starz Studio making such disclosure. Your communication must include substantially the following:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, then a representative list of such works;
Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Starz Studio to locate the material;
Information reasonably sufficient to permit Starz Studio to contact you, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
Starz Studio’s Copyright Agent for receipt of Notifications of Claimed Infringement can be contacted at: legal@starzstudio.us
Regarding counter notification, if you receive a notification from Starz Studio that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a notification of claimed infringement, then you will have the right to provide Starz Studio with what is called a "counter notification." To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to Starz Studio’s Copyright Agent through one of the methods identified above and include substantially the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
The subscriber's name, address and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which Starz Studio may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section I. above or an agent of such person.
A party submitting a counter notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
If you submit a counter notification to Starz Studio in response to a notification of claimed infringement, then Starz Studio will promptly provide the person who provided the notification of claimed infringement with a copy of your counter notification and inform that person that Starz Studio will replace the removed User Content or feedback or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and Starz Studio will replace the removed User Content or feedback and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter notification, unless Starz Studio’s Copyright Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the notification of claimed infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Starz Studio’s system or network.
The U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) provides that:
Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.
Starz Studio reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a notification of claimed infringement or counter notification in violation of the law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

You will be responsible for and agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Starz Studio Parties harmless from and against any and all claims, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, expenses, fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs) made by a third party due to or arising from (i) information in your Account and any information you (or anyone accessing the Service using your password) submit, post or transmit through the Service, (ii) your (or anyone accessing the Service using your password) use of the Service, (iii) your (or anyone accessing the Service using your password) violation of these Terms of Use or any applicable Additional Terms of Use or Third Party Agreements, and (iv) your (or anyone accessing the Service using your password) violation of any rights of any other person or entity.
U. Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings:
These Terms of Use and any action related thereto or to the Service will be governed by the laws of the State of Dalaware without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. In the event any litigation arises out of these Terms of Use, the parties hereto consent to the personal jurisdiction of all federal and state courts located in Dalaware and to the same courts as the exclusive venue for such litigation. The parties specifically disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. You acknowledge that the rights granted and obligations made to Starz Studio under these Terms of Use are of a unique and irreplaceable nature, the loss of which may result in immediate and irreparable harm to Starz Studio for which remedies at law are inadequate. Starz Studio shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without the obligation to post any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive or other equitable relief. Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought within one (1) year after the cause of action arises. The preceding provision regarding applicable law and venue does not apply if you are a consumer based in the European Union. If you are based in the European Union, these Terms of Use will be subject to the laws and jurisdiction of your country of residence.

Service access out of the US: Starz Studio operates and controls the Service from its offices in the United States. Starz Studio makes no representation that the Service is appropriate or available in other locations. The information and materials provided on the Service are not intended for distribution to or use by any person or entity in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be contrary to law or regulation or which would subject Starz Studio to any registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly, those persons who choose to access the Service from other locations do so on their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
Export Controls: Portions of the Service may be subject to United States export controls. You agree to comply with such export controls, as well as similar such controls in any applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing, you agree that no software from the Service may be downloaded, exported or re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident of) Cuba, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country to which the United States has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By downloading any software or applicable portion of the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of, any such country or on any such list.
No relationship: You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Starz Studio as a result of these Terms of Use or your use of the Service.
These Terms are the entire agreement between us: These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and Starz Studio with respect to your use of the Service and any other subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or modified by you except as expressly posted on the Site or the mobile application by Starz Studio.
Even if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later: The failure of Starz Studio to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, and no waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
If a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force: If any provision of these Terms of Use 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 of Use shall remain in full force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade practice will act to modify these Terms of Use.
We may transfer this contract to someone else: These Terms of Use may not be assigned by you without Starz Studio’s prior written consent, but are freely assignable by Starz Studio.
And a few more terms: The section headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not be given any legal importance. Upon Starz Studio’s request, you will furnish Starz Studio any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to verify your compliance with these Terms of Use. You agree that these Terms of Use will not be construed against Starz Studio by virtue of having drafted them. You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form of these Terms of Use and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute these Terms of Use. A person who is not a party to this agreement shall have no right to enforce any of its terms.
