TERMS OF USE AGREEMENTLast updated on November 16, 2018. This Terms of Use Agreement (“Agreement”) governs your access to and use of the services, websites, and applications offered by Brit Media, Inc. (“Brit Media,” “we,” or “us”). We seek to curate and create innovative new ways for busy, but inspired people to live more simple, beautiful, and creative lives. Our goal is to show people how to add order to the chaos of their daily lives in a fun, easy and elegant way, and to highlight beautiful and unique products. The terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement govern your visit to and use of the online and/or mobile services, website, and software provided by or on behalf of Brit Media, including without limitation brit.co, hellobrit.com, snapguide.com, and weduary.com (collectively the “Service”). By accessing and using the Service, you signify that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by this Terms of Use Agreement and to the collection and use of your information as set forth in the Brit Media PRIVACY POLICY, whether or not you are a registered user of our Service. This Agreement applies to all visitors, users, and others who access the Service (“Users”). THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. Brit Media may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the ‘last updated’ date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. USING OUR SERVICE:Who Can Use Our Service. You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Brit Media, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. This Service is intended for residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age or older. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and would like to use the Service, you may do so only with the consent of, and under the supervision of, your parent or legal guardian. We reserve the right to request verification of such consent and/or supervision at any time and for any reason. Any other use or access to the Service by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by Brit Media. Brit Media Accounts. Your Brit Media account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you open a Brit Media account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to Brit Media with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service. Your Responsibility For Your Account. You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. You must notify Brit Media immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Brit Media will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account. Your Choices About Your Account. You may control your User profile and how you interact with the Service by changing the settings on the personal settings page associated with your Brit Media account. By providing Brit Media your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out or change your preferences on the personal settings page associated with your Brit Media account. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. Changes To Our Service. We may, without prior notice, change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement. Your Interaction With Other Users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Brit Media Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Brit Media shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction. SERVICE RULES: You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Service in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated “scraping;” (ii) using any automated system, including without limitation “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc., to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Brit Media servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser; (iii) transmitting spam, chain letters, or other unsolicited email; (iv) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (v) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (vi) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (vii) collecting or harvesting any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service; (viii) using the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes; (ix) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (x) interfering with the proper working of the Service; (xi) accessing any content on the Service through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Service; or (xii) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the content therein. STREAMING AND DISPLAYING: Accessing the audiovisual content available on the Service for any purpose or in any manner other than Streaming is expressly prohibited. “Streaming” means a contemporaneous digital transmission of an audiovisual work via the Internet from the Brit Media Service to a User’s device in such a manner that the data is intended for real-time viewing and not intended to be copied, stored, permanently downloaded, or redistributed by the User. SWEEPSTAKES AND CONTESTS: From time to time, we may offer and/or co-sponsor contests, sweepstakes, promotions and games on the Service (each a “Promotion”). Depending on the nature of the Promotion, we may either publish a completely unique set of rules for the Promotion or we may administer it using a combination of our standard Promotion rules (“Official Rules”) and specific additional details such as start date, end date and prize value information. Each of these activities may be governed by specific rules listed below. By participating in any such activities, you will become subject to those rules and we urge you to read any applicable rules. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules conflict with this Agreement, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control. FTC DISCLOSURE: Your trust in our unbiased, independent editorial recommendations is one of our most important assets. That’s why we take certain steps to deserve that trust. First, if we are paid to promote a brand or product, we distinguish this type of paid, branded content from our editorial content with clear call-outs that say "paid for by," "in partnership with," “in collaboration with,” or a similar statement. We pride ourselves on the quality and independence of our editorial voice, so while we strive to make paid, branded content as useful, entertaining, and relevant as possible, we also ensure that it is always kept separate from our normal editorial process. When a brand or advertising partner does sponsor editorial content, those programs will be marked with a "brought to you by," "presented by" or other similar disclosure. Second, we often receive free products from marketers who hope we like the products enough to say good things about them. While we absolutely appreciate all of this swag, we only write about them if we are genuinely impressed with the product and we only provide our real opinion. This unbiased independence applies also in circumstances where we may be running paid advertisements elsewhere on the Service for other products sold by the same company. Lastly, we may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others. Although we do sometimes receive compensation for these links, they do not compromise our genuine editorial recommendations. INTERACTING WITH THE SERVICE AND USER CONTENT:Your User Content. Some areas of the Service allow Users to post content such as profile information, wish lists, comments, questions, reviews, images, and other content or information, including but not limited to contributions you may make to any how to guides on Snapguide. Any content or information a User submits, posts, displays, links to, or otherwise makes available on the Service is referred to as “User Content.” We claim no ownership rights over User Content created or provided by you. The User Content you create remains yours; however, by sharing User Content through the Service, you agree to allow others to view, edit, and/or share your User Content in accordance with your settings and this Agreement. Brit Media has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to remove any User Content that is shared via the Service. How We And Others Can Use Your User Content. By posting or otherwise making available any User Content on the Service, you hereby expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, to Brit Media a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and Brit Media’s business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels. You also hereby grant each User of the Service a non-exclusive license to access your User Content through the Service, and to use, reproduce, modify, distribute, display and perform such User Content as permitted through the functionality of the Service and under this Agreement. You agree that we may sublicense or assign any of the foregoing rights in your User Content to any successor or acquirer of Brit Media or any Site or any partner, brand, affiliated company, sponsor, or other entity with which Brit Media engages in a joint project or endeavor or develops or releases any joint product. YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:What Not To Post.

Respecting Other's Rights. You agree that any User Content that you post does not and will not violate third-party rights of any kind, including without limitation any Intellectual Property Rights (as defined below) or rights of privacy. To the extent that your User Content contains music, you hereby represent that you are the owner of all the copyright rights, including without limitation the performance, mechanical, and sound recordings rights, with respect to each and every musical composition (including lyrics) and sound recording contained in such User Content and have the power to grant the license granted below.

You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization.

THIS AGREEMENT CONTAINS A MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND CLASS ACTION/JURY TRIAL WAIVER PROVISION THAT REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR CLASS ACTIONS, AND ALSO LIMITS THE REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO YOU IN THE EVENT OF A DISPUTE. Brit Media may, in its sole discretion, modify or update this Agreement from time to time, and so you should review this page periodically. When we change the Agreement in a material manner, we will update the ‘last updated’ date at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Service after any such change constitutes your acceptance of the new Terms of Use. If you do not agree to any of these terms or any future Terms of Use, do not use or access (or continue to access) the Service. USING OUR SERVICE:Who Can Use Our Service. You may use the Service only if you can form a binding contract with Brit Media, and only in compliance with this Agreement and all applicable local, state, national, and international laws, rules and regulations. This Service is intended for residents of the United States who are at least 18 years of age or older. If you are between the ages of 13 and 18 and would like to use the Service, you may do so only with the consent of, and under the supervision of, your parent or legal guardian. We reserve the right to request verification of such consent and/or supervision at any time and for any reason. Any other use or access to the Service by anyone under 18 is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement. The Service is not available to any Users previously removed from the Service by Brit Media. Brit Media Accounts. Your Brit Media account gives you access to the services and functionality that we may establish and maintain from time to time and in our sole discretion. We may maintain different types of accounts for different types of Users. If you open a Brit Media account on behalf of a company, organization, or other entity, then (a) “you” includes you and that entity, and (b) you represent and warrant that you are an authorized representative of the entity with the authority to bind the entity to this Agreement, and that you agree to this Agreement on the entity’s behalf. By connecting to Brit Media with a third-party service, you give us permission to access and use your information from that service as permitted by that service, and to store your log-in credentials for that service. Your Responsibility For Your Account. You may never use another User’s account without permission. When creating your account, you must provide accurate and complete information. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. We encourage you to use “strong” passwords (passwords that use a combination of upper and lower case letters, numbers and symbols) with your account. You must notify Brit Media immediately of any breach of security or unauthorized use of your account. Brit Media will not be liable for any losses caused by any unauthorized use of your account. Your Choices About Your Account. You may control your User profile and how you interact with the Service by changing the settings on the personal settings page associated with your Brit Media account. By providing Brit Media your email address you consent to our using the email address to send you Service-related notices, including any notices required by law, in lieu of communication by postal mail. We may also use your email address to send you other messages, such as changes to features of the Service and special offers. If you do not want to receive such email messages, you may opt out or change your preferences on the personal settings page associated with your Brit Media account. Opting out may prevent you from receiving email messages regarding updates, improvements, or offers. Changes To Our Service. We may, without prior notice, change the Service; stop providing the Service or features of the Service, to you or to users generally; or create usage limits for the Service. We may permanently or temporarily terminate or suspend your access to the Service without notice and liability for any reason, including if in our sole determination you violate any provision of this Agreement, or for no reason. Upon termination for any reason or no reason, you continue to be bound by this Agreement. Your Interaction With Other Users. You are solely responsible for your interactions with other Brit Media Users. We reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor disputes between you and other Users. Brit Media shall have no liability for your interactions with other Users, or for any User’s action or inaction. SERVICE RULES: You agree not to engage in any of the following prohibited activities: (i) copying, distributing, or disclosing any part of the Service in any medium, including without limitation by any automated or non-automated “scraping;” (ii) using any automated system, including without limitation “robots,” “spiders,” “offline readers,” etc., to access the Service in a manner that sends more request messages to the Brit Media servers than a human can reasonably produce in the same period of time by using a conventional on-line web browser; (iii) transmitting spam, chain letters, or other unsolicited email; (iv) attempting to interfere with, compromise the system integrity or security or decipher any transmissions to or from the servers running the Service; (v) taking any action that imposes, or may impose at our sole discretion an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our infrastructure; (vi) uploading invalid data, viruses, worms, or other software agents through the Service; (vii) collecting or harvesting any personally identifiable information, including account names, from the Service; (viii) using the Service for any commercial solicitation purposes; (ix) impersonating another person or otherwise misrepresenting your affiliation with a person or entity, conducting fraud, hiding or attempting to hide your identity; (x) interfering with the proper working of the Service; (xi) accessing any content on the Service through any technology or means other than those provided or authorized by the Service; or (xii) bypassing the measures we may use to prevent or restrict access to the Service, including without limitation features that prevent or restrict use or copying of any content or enforce limitations on use of the Service or the content therein. STREAMING AND DISPLAYING: Accessing the audiovisual content available on the Service for any purpose or in any manner other than Streaming is expressly prohibited. “Streaming” means a contemporaneous digital transmission of an audiovisual work via the Internet from the Brit Media Service to a User’s device in such a manner that the data is intended for real-time viewing and not intended to be copied, stored, permanently downloaded, or redistributed by the User. SWEEPSTAKES AND CONTESTS: From time to time, we may offer and/or co-sponsor contests, sweepstakes, promotions and games on the Service (each a “Promotion”). Depending on the nature of the Promotion, we may either publish a completely unique set of rules for the Promotion or we may administer it using a combination of our standard Promotion rules (“Official Rules”) and specific additional details such as start date, end date and prize value information. Each of these activities may be governed by specific rules listed below. By participating in any such activities, you will become subject to those rules and we urge you to read any applicable rules. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules conflict with this Agreement, the terms and conditions of such rules shall control. FTC DISCLOSURE: Your trust in our unbiased, independent editorial recommendations is one of our most important assets. That’s why we take certain steps to deserve that trust. First, if we are paid to promote a brand or product, we distinguish this type of paid, branded content from our editorial content with clear call-outs that say "paid for by," "in partnership with," “in collaboration with,” or a similar statement. We pride ourselves on the quality and independence of our editorial voice, so while we strive to make paid, branded content as useful, entertaining, and relevant as possible, we also ensure that it is always kept separate from our normal editorial process. When a brand or advertising partner does sponsor editorial content, those programs will be marked with a "brought to you by," "presented by" or other similar disclosure. Second, we often receive free products from marketers who hope we like the products enough to say good things about them. While we absolutely appreciate all of this swag, we only write about them if we are genuinely impressed with the product and we only provide our real opinion. This unbiased independence applies also in circumstances where we may be running paid advertisements elsewhere on the Service for other products sold by the same company. Lastly, we may at times use affiliate links to promote products sold by others. Although we do sometimes receive compensation for these links, they do not compromise our genuine editorial recommendations. INTERACTING WITH THE SERVICE AND USER CONTENT:Your User Content. Some areas of the Service allow Users to post content such as profile information, wish lists, comments, questions, reviews, images, and other content or information, including but not limited to contributions you may make to any how to guides on Snapguide. Any content or information a User submits, posts, displays, links to, or otherwise makes available on the Service is referred to as “User Content.” We claim no ownership rights over User Content created or provided by you. The User Content you create remains yours; however, by sharing User Content through the Service, you agree to allow others to view, edit, and/or share your User Content in accordance with your settings and this Agreement. Brit Media has the right (but not the obligation) in its sole discretion to remove any User Content that is shared via the Service. How We And Others Can Use Your User Content. By posting or otherwise making available any User Content on the Service, you hereby expressly grant, and you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary to grant, to Brit Media a royalty-free, sublicensable, transferable, irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, worldwide license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, list information regarding, edit, translate, distribute, syndicate, publicly perform, publicly display, and make derivative works of all such User Content and your name, voice, and/or likeness as contained in your User Content, in whole or in part, and in any form, media or technology, whether now known or hereafter developed, for use in connection with the Service and Brit Media’s business, including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of the Service (and derivative works thereof) in any media formats and through any media channels.

You understand that publishing your User Content on the Service is not a substitute for registering it with the U.S. Copyright Office, the Writer’s Guild of America, or any other rights organization. Brit Media takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content that you or any other User or third party posts or sends over the Service. You shall be solely responsible for your User Content and the consequences of posting or publishing it, and you agree that we are only acting as a passive conduit for your online distribution and publication of your User Content.
