MSG Networks has been attempting to negotiate a fair, market-based deal with DirecTV and offered DirecTV a number of fair and reasonable, market-based proposals to renew our agreement. MSG Networks also offered to keep our programming on air while we continue to negotiate, so fans don’t miss out on our programming. Unfortunately, DirecTV has rejected all of our offers. While we stand ready to negotiate a fair deal with DirecTV at any time, we feel it is important to let our loyal DirecTV viewers know about this potential interruption and provide them with information, including the opportunity to switch providers to avoid missing any of our exclusive live games. You can help. Let DirecTV know you want to keep MSG Networks on your DirecTV channel line-up. Please call 1-833-KEEP-MSG.

PRIVACY POLICY
This Privacy Policy (“Policy”) describes the information that MSGN Holdings, L.P. (“MSGN”) and the MSGN Family (as defined below) collect, how we use it, and when and with whom we may share it. Except as described in this Policy, the Policy applies to any and all websites, mobile applications, software and any other electronic and/or digital products and/or services that are made available by the MSGN Family (collectively, the “Services”). This Policy applies regardless of the device used to access the Services. All Services governed by this Policy will include a link to, and/or copy of this Policy on the home page of the applicable website or similar location (e.g., a settings page) for any applicable mobile applications. Some online services offered by or affiliated with the MSGN Family may be governed by a separate privacy policy. In those instances, the service-specific privacy policy shall apply to that specific online service.

This Policy applies only to information collected on or through the Services as defined above. Unless otherwise noted, it does not apply to information collected or obtained by or through any other means (including, without limitation, information collected offline, in-person, over the telephone or by postal mail).

For purposes of this Policy, the terms “MSGN Family,” “MSGN,” “we,” “us,” and “our” include, without limitation, MSG Networks Inc., MSGN Holdings, L.P. and each of their respective parent companies, subsidiaries, divisions, affiliated entities and business units as may change from time to time (including, without limitation, MSGN Songs, LLC, MSGN Publishing, LLC, MSGN Interactive, LLC, SportsChannel Associates and The 31st Street Company, LLC).

(i) Device/Usage Information

We may automatically collect certain information about the computer or devices you use to access the Services. As described further below, we may collect and analyze information such as (a) IP addresses, geolocation information, unique device identifiers and other information about your computer or device(s), browser types, browser language, operating system, the state or country from which you accessed the Services; and (b) information related to the ways in which you interact with the Services, such as: referring and exit webpages and URLs, platform type, the number of clicks you make, domain names, landing pages, pages and content viewed and the order of those pages, the amount of time spent on particular pages, the date and time you used the Services, the frequency of your use of the Services, error logs, and other similar information. MSGN may compile information about your use of our Services from across multiple devices, websites and/or mobile applications for the purposes described in this Privacy Policy.

(ii) Location Information
We also may automatically collect location information, including general location information (e.g., IP address, zip code) from your computer or mobile device. If you access the Services through a mobile device, we may ask you to share your precise geo-location information so we can deliver customized content and advertising. We and our service providers may also collect other information based on your location and your device’s proximity to “beacons” and other similar indoor proximity systems, including, for example, the strength of the signal between the “beacon” and your device and the duration that your device is near the “beacon”. The type of location data we collect depends on a number of factors, including the type of device you are using (e.g., laptop, smartphone, tablet) and the type of connection enabled on your device (e.g., Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, broadband, cable, or cellular). The Services rely on this location information, including geo-fencing technology, in order to provide certain location-based services, content, promotional offers and other information that may be of interest to you or that may be available to you based on your subscriptions to services we provide (e.g. cable or other pay television programming), or to limit the types of technology we utilize or services we provide in certain jurisdictions. We may also use location information to improve the functionality of the Services and our other products and/or services. If you do not wish to have this location information collected and used by MSGN and its service providers, you may disable the location and Bluetooth features on your device. Please note that if you disable such features, you will not be able to access or receive some or all of the services, content, features and/or products made available via the Services and that rely on location information as described above. To deliver customized content and advertising, we may share your location information, including geo-location information, with our agents, vendors, or advertisers.

Depending on the device you are using, we may use third party services to provide mapping services. For example, MSGN may use Google maps on certain devices—you can learn more about the information that Google collects through its mapping services here.

(iii) Cookies and Other Electronic Technologies
We may also collect data about your use of the Services through the use of web server logs, cookies tracking pixels, and similar technologies. A web server log is a file where website activity is stored. A cookie is a small text file that is placed on your computer when you visit a website, that enables us to: (i) recognize your computer; (ii) store your preferences and settings; (iii) understand the pages and screens of MSGN Services you have visited; (iv) enhance your user experience by delivering content specific to your interests; (v) perform searches and analytics; and (vi) assist with security and administrative functions.

We may also use these automated technologies to collect and analyze other information related to the devices you use to access the Services, such as IP addresses, browser types, browser language, operating system used, the domain name of your Internet service provider, unique device identifiers, and other information about your devices used to access the Services. These technologies may also collect information on the websites you have visited before and after you visit the Services, and the advertisements you have accessed, seen, forwarded, and/or clicked on when using the Services or other websites. We or third party platform(s) we work with may place or recognize a unique cookie on your browser to enable you to receive customized content, offers, services or advertisements on our Services. These cookies do not contain information that is intended to identify you personally, but they can identify the device you use to access the Services. The cookies may be associated with de-identified demographic or other data linked to or derived from data you voluntarily have submitted to us (e.g., your email address) that we may share with a service provider solely in hashed, non-human readable form. As we adopt additional technologies, we may also gather additional information through other methods.

Please note that you can change your settings to notify you when a cookie is being set or updated, or to block cookies altogether. Please consult the “Help” section of your browser for more information (e.g. Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, or Apple Safari). You can also manage the use of Flash technologies, including Flash cookies, with the Flash management tools available at Adobe’s website. Please note that by blocking any or all cookies, you may not have access to certain features or offerings of the Services.

We also use Google Analytics for certain purposes related to advertising, as described in the following section.

  1. Tailored Advertising

We may personalize the content and advertising that you see when using the Services through the use of third-party advertising technologies that allow for the delivery of relevant content and advertising on MSGN websites or applications, as well as other websites you visit and other applications you use. The ads may be based on various factors such as the content of the page you are visiting, information you provide such as your age and gender, your searches, demographic data, user-generated content, and other information we collect from you. These ads may be based on your current activity or your activity over time and may be tailored to your interests.

Also, third parties whose products or services are accessible or advertised via the Services may also place cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device to collect information about your use of the Services in order to (i) inform, optimize, and serve ads based on past visits to our websites and mobile applications and other sites and (ii) report how our ad impressions, other uses of ad services, and interactions with these ad impressions and ad services are related to visits to our websites, mobile applications and use of our Services. We also may allow other third parties (e.g., ad networks and ad servers such as Google Analytics, DoubleClick and others) to serve tailored ads to you on the Services, other sites, and in other applications, and to access their own cookies or other tracking technologies on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services. We also may share with third-party advertisers a hashed version of your email address, solely in non-human readable form for purposes of delivering tailored advertising. We neither have access to, nor does this Policy govern, the use of cookies or other tracking technologies that may be placed on your computer, mobile phone, or other device you use to access the Services by non-affiliated, third-party ad technology, ad servers, ad networks or any other non-affiliated third parties. Those parties that use these technologies may offer you a way to opt out of ad targeting as described below. If you are interested in more information about tailored browser advertising and how you can generally control cookies from being put on your computer to deliver tailored advertising, you may visit the Network Advertising Initiative’s Consumer Opt-Out link , the Digital Advertising Alliance’s Consumer Opt-Out link or TrustArc’s Advertising Choices Page to opt-out of receiving tailored advertising from companies that participate in those programs.

To opt out of Google Analytics for display advertising or customize Google display network ads, you can visit the Google Ads Settings page. Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out of tailored advertising. In that case, the ads will just not be tailored.

When using a mobile application you may also receive tailored in-application advertisements. Each operating system, iOS for Apple phones, Android for Android devices and Windows for Microsoft devices provides its own instructions on how to prevent the delivery of tailored in-application advertisements. You may review the support materials and/or the privacy settings for the respective operating systems in order to opt-out of tailored in-application advertisements. We do not control how the applicable platform operator allows you to control receiving personalized in-application advertisements; thus, you should contact the platform provider for further details on opting out of tailored in-application advertisements.

Sometimes, we (or our service providers) may use the information we collect – for instance, log-in credentials, IP addresses and unique mobile device identifiers – to locate or try to locate the same unique users across multiple browsers or devices (such as smartphones, tablets, or computer), or work with providers that do this, in order to better tailor content and features and provide you with a seamless experience across devices. If you wish to opt out of cross device tracking for purposes of interest-based advertising, you may do so through your Android or Apple device-based settings or by exercising your opt-out rights as described in this tailored advertising section.

 

Please note that to the extent advertising technology is integrated into the Services, you may still receive advertisements even if you opt-out. In that case, the advertising will not be tailored to your interests. Also, we do not control any of the above opt-out links and are not responsible for any choices you make using these mechanisms or the continued availability or accuracy of these mechanisms.

  1. CALIFORNIA ONLINE PRIVACY PROTECTION ACT NOTICE CONCERNING DO NOT TRACK SIGNALS

    Do Not Track (“DNT”) is a privacy preference that users can set in certain web browsers. DNT is a way for users to inform websites and services that they do not want certain information about their webpage visits collected over time and across websites or online services. We are committed to providing you with meaningful choices about the information collected on the Services for third party purposes, and that is why we provide links to the Network Advertising Initiative, the Digital Advertising Alliance, and TrustArc’s Advertising Choices Pageopt-out pages, as well as choices provided by Google Ads and Google Analytics. However, we do not recognize or respond to browser-initiated DNT signals, as the Internet industry is currently still working toward defining exactly what DNT means, what it means to comply with DNT, and a common approach to responding to DNT. To learn more about Do Not Track, you can do so here.

  1. MODIFICATION TO TERMS

Except as explicitly described in Section 24 (Arbitration and Class Action Waiver), MSGN reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace the Terms at any time. You shall be responsible for reviewing and becoming familiar with any such modifications. Any changes will be incorporated into the Terms and you should check the Terms periodically for updates. Except as explicitly described in Section 24, changes will be effective immediately unless otherwise provided.

  1. PRIVACY POLICY AND OTHER TERMS

Please review the MSGN Privacy Policy, which is hereby incorporated by reference (the “MSGN Privacy Policy”) and governs our use and collection of your information.

In the event that you are required to agree to an additional governing agreement, including without limitation a terms of use, end user license agreement, privacy policy, contest, sweepstakes or promotion terms (collectively, “Other Governing Agreement”), in order to use, access and/or download such other service, the Other Governing Agreement will govern to the extent there is a conflict between these Terms and the Other Governing Agreement.

  1. ELIGIBILITY

Access to and use of the Services is available only to individuals who are at least 13 years old and can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. By accessing or using any of the Services, you represent and warrant that you are eligible.

If the Services offer you the option to purchase products or services, or to participate in games or contests, you represent and warrant that: (i) you are 18 years of age or older, or the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you live, whichever is older; and (ii) you will abide at all times by these Terms and any other agreements between you and MSGN regarding your use of the Services.

If you do not meet the eligibility requirements of this section, then you are not permitted to use the Services and you agree that you will not use the Services. In addition to any other rights that MSGN may have in law or equity, MSGN reserves the right to suspend or terminate the account of any purported user of the Services that does not meet the foregoing requirements.

  1. REGISTRATION, ACCOUNT SECURITY AND DISCLOSURES

You may access some of the Services without registering for an account. You may, however, have the option to create an account when you use the Services. By creating such account, you agree to: (i) provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted (such information being the “Registration Data”); (ii) maintain the security and confidentiality of the Registration Data; (iii) promptly update the Registration Data to keep it accurate, current and complete; (iv) ensure that others do not use your account; and (v) notify MSGN immediately in the event of unauthorized use of, or any other breach of your Registration Data.

If you provide any Registration Data that is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or MSGN has reasonable grounds to suspect that such Registration Data is inaccurate, not current or incomplete, MSGN may deny you access to areas requiring registration or terminate your account, at its sole discretion. You agree that MSGN is not liable for any loss or damage resulting from your failure to maintain the confidentiality of your account as provided herein. MSGN may assume that any communications MSGN receives under your password have been made by you.

You also may be asked for credentials, such as a user name and password, to demonstrate that you are a subscriber to a particular Pay TV Provider (as defined below) (“Subscription Data”). You agree that you are the subscriber to the applicable Pay TV Provider’s service and that you are responsible for the security and confidentiality, and any misuse of, the Subscription Data. You are responsible for all activity under your account that is accessed using the Subscription Data, even if the inappropriate activity was committed by a friend, family member, guest, employee or any other person with access to the Subscription Data.

You acknowledge and agree that MSGN is authorized to act on instructions received through use of your username and password (and/or the Subscription Data, if applicable), and that MSGN may, but is not obligated to, deny access or block any transaction made through use of your username and password (and/or Subscription Data, if applicable) without prior notice if we believe in our sole discretion such information is being used by someone other than you, or for any other reason.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that MSGN may access, preserve and disclose your Registration Data and/or Subscription Data and User Content (as defined below) if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation, or disclosure is reasonably necessary: (i) to comply with legal process; (ii) to enforce these Terms, the MSGN Privacy Policy or any other agreements or rules regarding your use of the Services; (iii) to respond to claims that any content violates the rights of third parties; (iv) to respond to your requests for customer service; or (v) to protect the rights, property, or personal safety of MSGN, its users and/or the public.

You must provide at your own expense the equipment, Internet connections or devices and/or service plans, which may include, without limitation, subscriptions to video services from your cable, satellite, telco or other provider of video programming services (each a “Pay TV Provider”), as may be required to access and/or use the Services. MSGN does not guarantee that the Services or all portion(s) thereof can be accessed on all devices or wireless service plans, or (to the extent a subscription to video services from a Pay TV Provider is required) in connection with all Pay TV Providers. MSGN does not guarantee that all Services are or will continue to be available in all geographic locations. You acknowledge that when you use the Services, your wireless carrier, Pay TV Provider and/or other telecommunications provider may charge you fees for content, access, data, messaging, and/or other wireless access. Check with your applicable provider(s) to determine if there are any such fees that apply to you.

  1. USER CONTENT

The Services may enable you to submit, post, upload, or otherwise make available through the Services content such as video clips, photographs, public messages, ideas, comments and other content (collectively, “User Content”) that may or may not be viewable by other users.

You acknowledge and agree that all User Content, whether publicly posted or privately transmitted, is the sole responsibility of the person from whom the User Content originated. You further agree that you have all required rights to submit, post, upload or otherwise use or disseminate such User Content without violation of any third-party rights.

Notwithstanding the above, you shall maintain your intellectual property rights in your User Content.

You acknowledge and agree that your user Registration Data and/or Subscription Data may be associated with any User Content that you post. You represent and warrant to MSGN that you own or otherwise control all rights to any User Content you post on or through the Services, and have received any and all consents that may be necessary for the posting of any such User Content and MSGN’s use thereof in accordance with these Terms. You agree that you will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless MSGN for all claims resulting from User Content you post. We reserve the right, at our own expense, to assume the exclusive defense and control of such disputes, and in any event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

You acknowledge and agree that MSGN and its designees may or may not, at MSGN’s discretion, pre-screen User Content before its appearance on the Services, but that MSGN has no obligation to do so. You further acknowledge and agree that MSGN reserves the right (but does not assume the obligation) in its sole discretion to reject, move, edit or remove any User Content that is contributed to the Services. Without limiting the foregoing, MSGN and its designees shall have the right to remove any User Content that violates the Terms or is otherwise objectionable in MSGN’s sole discretion. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other users of the Service. MSGN reserves the right, but has no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other users and to resolve such disputes in its sole judgment.

You acknowledge and agree that MSGN does not verify, adopt, ratify, or sanction User Content, and you agree that you must evaluate and bear all risks associated with your use of User Content or your reliance on the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of User Content. You understand that by using the Services, you may be exposed to User Content that you may consider offensive or objectionable.

The Services may allow access to or make available opportunities for you to view certain live streaming video and receive other products, content, services and/or other materials based on your location. To make these opportunities available to you, the Services will determine your location using one or more reference points, such as GPS, Beacons and/or software within your mobile device.

For more information about how the Services collect, use and retain your information, please read the MSGN Privacy Policy.

The Services also may make use of push notifications to devices that support the transmission of such notifications or alerts.

After downloading the Services, you may be asked to accept or deny push notifications. If you deny, you will not receive any push notifications. If you accept, push notifications will be automatically sent to you. If you no longer wish to receive push notifications from the Services, you may opt out by changing your notification settings on your device. The device manufacturer, not MSGN, controls these notification settings.

Additionally, the Services may contain features that may allow you to submit data to, or plot yourself on a map using, a mapping service. By using those features (if applicable), you agree to be bound by the terms of use that apply to those mapping services, which may include, as applicable, the Google Maps/Earth Terms of Service.

  1. LINKS

The Services may provide links to third-party websites or resources, such as those that sell tickets. Because MSGN has no control over such sites and resources, you acknowledge and agree that MSGN is not responsible for the availability of such external sites or resources, and does not endorse and is not responsible or liable for (i) any content, advertising, products, or other materials on or available from such sites or resources, (ii) any errors or omissions in these websites or resources, or (iii) any information handling practices or other business practices of the operators of such sites or resources.

You agree that the Services may automatically download and install updates, upgrades and additional features that MSGN deems reasonable, beneficial to you and/or reasonably necessary. You acknowledge and agree that any obligation MSGN may have to support the previous version(s) of any Service(s) may be ended upon the availability of the update, upgrade and/or implementation of additional features. This License shall apply to any updates, upgrades and/or additional features that are not distributed with a separate license or other agreement.

  1. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS/DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT

MSGN has a policy of, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, terminating the accounts of users who infringe the intellectual property of others, including accounts of repeat infringers.

  1. an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest that has allegedly been infringed;

  4. your address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. a 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
  6. a statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

MSGN reserves the right, at our own expense to assume the exclusive defense and control of such disputes, and in any event you will cooperate with us in asserting any available defenses.

Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, if you are a resident of New Jersey, you only agree to release, defend, indemnify, and hold MSGN, each member of the MSGN Family and each of their respective parents, subsidiaries, affiliates, partners, co-sponsors, and agencies, as well as the officers, directors, employees, shareholders and representatives of any of the foregoing entities, harmless from and against any third-party claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including without limitation reasonable legal and accounting fees, arising out of or in any way connected with your breach or violation of these Terms (including without limitation the Code of Conduct).

If you are a California resident, you waive California Civil Code Section 1542, which provides:

A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor.

If you are not a California resident, you waive your rights under any statute or common law principle similar to Section 1542 that governs your rights in the jurisdiction of your residence.

    1. ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER

 

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY – IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS

  1. Federal Arbitration Act.The parties agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.
  2. Initial Dispute Resolution.Most disputes can be resolved without resort to litigation. The parties agree to use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement directly through consultation with MSGN, and good faith negotiations shall be a condition to either party initiating a lawsuit or arbitration. To commence this procedure, you agree to contact us by sending written notice to us at MSGN Holdings, L.P., 11 Penn Plaza, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10001, Attn: Legal Department, or MSGN may contact you using the last available information it has for you.
  3. Binding Arbitration.If the parties do not reach an agreed-upon solution within a period of sixty (60) days from the time informal dispute resolution is initiated under the Initial Dispute Resolution provision above, then the parties agree to resolve by arbitration subject to the provisions in this Section 24. Specifically, all claims arising out of or relating to these Terms (including its formation, performance, and breach), the parties’ relationship with each other, and/or your download of, access to, or use of the Services shall be finally settled by binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS rules in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including, but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written, and binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (A) Write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover. You may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com; (B) Send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, 620 Eighth Ave. (NY Times Building), 34th Floor, New York, NY 10018; and (C) Send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to us at MSGN Holdings, L.P., 11 Penn Plaza, 3rd Floor, New York, NY 10001, Attn: Legal Department.

You will be required to pay $250 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, we will pay all other filing and arbitrator fees for the arbitration. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise. The parties understand that, absent this mandatory provision, they would have the right to sue in court and have a jury trial. They further understand that, in some instances, the costs of arbitration could exceed the costs of litigation and the right to discovery may be more limited in arbitration than in court.

If you are a resident of the United States, arbitration may take place at any reasonable location within the United States convenient for you. For residents outside the United States, arbitration shall be initiated in the State of New York, United States of America.

Residents of the United States and those who reside outside the United States and we further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in the Borough of Manhattan, New York, NY in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

    1. Class Action Waiver.The parties further agree that the resolution of any disputes between the parties shall be conducted in their individual capacities only and not as a class action or other representative action, and the parties expressly waive their right to file a class action or seek relief on a class basis. YOU AND MSGN AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in its entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.
    2. Exception: Litigation of Intellectual Property and Small Claims Court Claims.Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through initial dispute resolution or binding arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court or in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to protect its intellectual property rights (“intellectual property rights” means patents, copyrights, moral rights, trademarks, and trade secrets, but not privacy or publicity rights). Either party may also seek relief in a small claims court for disputes or claims within the scope of that court’s jurisdiction.
    3. 30-Day Right to Opt Out.You have the right to opt out and not be bound by the arbitration and class action waiver provisions set forth above by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to feedback@msgnetworks.com with the subject line, “ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER OPT-OUT.” The notice must be sent within thirty (30) days of your first download of, access to, or use of the Services, otherwise you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with the terms of those paragraphs. If you opt out of these arbitration provisions, we also will not be bound by them.
    4. Changes to this Section.MSGN will provide 60-days’ notice of any changes to this section. Changes will become effective on the 60th day, and will apply prospectively only to any claims arising after the 60th day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on “Changes to this Section” is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the Section entitled Arbitration and Class Action Waiver, and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver (or similarly named) section in existence after you first downloaded, accessed, or used the Services.
    5. Survival.This Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.

 

  1. GOVERNING LAW

These Terms and the relationship between you and MSGN shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflict of law provisions. The parties agree that the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods (Vienna, 1980) shall not apply to these Terms or to any dispute or transaction arising out of these Terms.

  1. GENERAL INFORMATION
  2. Severability and Survival.If any provision of the Terms is found by an arbitrator or a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable under applicable law, the parties nevertheless agree that the arbitrator or court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the provision, the remainder of the provision shall be interpreted to achieve as closely as possible the effect of the original term and all other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
  3. Limitation of Liability and Disclaimer of Warranties are Material Terms of these Terms.You agree that the provisions in these Terms that limit liability and disclaim warranties are essential terms of these Terms.
  4. Entire Agreement.The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and MSGN with respect to the Services and supersedes any prior agreements, oral or written, between you and MSGN.
  5. Conflicts.In the case of a conflict between the Terms and the terms of any other electronic or machine readable statement or policy, including our Privacy Policy, the Terms shall control, except for any Other Governing Agreement. In such case, the Other Governing Agreement shall control.
  6. Waiver.The failure of MSGN to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
  7. Section Titles.The section titles in these Terms are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
  8. Taxes.You are solely responsible for any and all duties, taxes, levies and/or fees (including any sales, use or withholding taxes) imposed on or in connection with these Terms and/or your access to and/or use of the Services, by any authority of any applicable jurisdiction.
  9.
