Privacy Policy
PLEASE READ THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CAREFULLY, INCLUDING THE MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION WHICH (IF YOU ARE RESIDENT IN THE USA OR ELSEWHERE IN THE WORLD, BUT NOT IF YOU ARE A CONSUMER IN THE EUROPEAN UNION) REQUIRES THAT DISPUTES ARE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL AND NOT A CLASS-WIDE OR CONSOLIDATED BASIS.
Welcome to Layer One, a third party software solution built to consolidate multimedia content creator's software and solutions into a single platform! Layer One consists of the web site available at the URL (https://layerone.io) (the “Site”) and all related services, software applications and networks that allow for the seamless integration of multiple third-party software in order to streamline systems, usage, and display information to enhance the lives of content creators on video streaming platforms (\"Service\"). The Service also includes any other sites or services that link to these Terms of Service (“Terms” or “TOS”). Other services offered by Layer One may be subject to separate terms (in which case we will let you what terms will apply to those services).
These Terms of Service, which include the Privacy Policy at https://layerone.io/privacy (“Privacy Policy”) and is incorporated here by reference, are a legal agreement between Layer One, LLC (“Layer One” or “we”) and you, an individual user or a single entity (“you” or “user”). Layer One may offer certain additional services for which you can agree to pay fees to Layer One. The applicable terms will be made available on the Site (currently, https://layerone.io/pricing and related pages) and will supplement these Terms.
Please read these Terms carefully. By accessing or using the Service, you affirm (i) that you are at least 13 years of age, (ii) if you have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that you have read, understood, and accept to be bound by the Terms, and (iii) if you are between 13 years of age and the age of majority in your jurisdiction, that your legal guardian has reviewed and agrees to these Terms. The Service is not directed to children under 13, so if you are under 13 years of age, you are not permitted to access or use the Service. If Layer One becomes aware that you are using the Service even though you are under 13, we will deactivate your account. If you are entering into these Terms on behalf of a company, organization, or other legal entity (collectively, a “Subscribing Organization”), then you represent and warrant that you: (i) are an authorized representative of that Subscribing Organization with the authority to bind such organization to these Terms; (ii) have read and understand the Terms, and (iii) agree to these Terms on behalf of such Subscribing Organization.
Layer One reserves the right, at our discretion, to change, modify, add, or remove portions of these Terms at any time. Any such change or modification will be effective immediately upon posting on the Service. Your continued use of the Service after any changes or modifications to these Terms are posted constitutes your binding acceptance of such changes. If you object to any change or modification, your only remedy is to cease using the Service. If at any time you do not agree to these Terms, please immediately terminate your use of the Service.

Layer One reserves the right to use your name as a reference for marketing or promotional purposes on the Site and in other communication with existing or potential Layer One customers. For example, we might list you or your company on one of our webpages under lists of Layer One customers. We do not want to list customers who do not want to be listed, so you may send an email to admin@layerone.io stating that you do not wish to be used as a reference.
Individual Features and Services.
When using the Service, you will be subject to any additional posted guidelines or rules applicable to specific services and features which may be posted online and notified to you from time to time (the \"Guidelines\"). All these Guidelines are incorporated here by reference into these Terms (i.e. they are made part of these Terms).
User Content, Rights, and Related Responsibilities.
While using the Service, you may upload, post, transmit or otherwise make available via the Services (which may include data you elect to import from Non-Layer One Products you use) data and content (collectively, \"User Content\"). User Content includes messages you send, files you upload, comments you make on files, profile information and anything else you enter or upload into the Service. By submitting or posting User Content to the Service, you agree that: (a) such User Content is non-confidential; (b) you own and control all of the rights to the User Content that you post or you otherwise have all necessary rights to post such User Content to the Service; (c) the User Content is accurate and not misleading or harmful in any manner; and (d) the User Content, and your use and posting of that User Content in connection with the Service, does not and will not violate these Terms or any applicable law, rule or regulation in your country or elsewhere.
Layer One takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any User Content posted, stored or uploaded by you or any third party, or for any loss or damage thereto, nor is Layer One liable for any mistakes, defamation, slander, libel, omissions, falsehoods, obscenity, pornography or profanity you may encounter. Your use of the Service is at your own risk. Enforcement of the user content or conduct rules set forth in these Terms is solely at Layer One's discretion, and failure to enforce such rules in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce such rules in other instances.
Layer One will make commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all facilities used to store and process User Content meet a high standard for security. For more information on our current practices and policies regarding data privacy, security and confidentiality, please see https://layerone.io/privacy; we will make all reasonable efforts to keep that document updated as these practices and policies evolve over time. However, Layer One cannot guarantee that there will be no unauthorized copying or distribution of User Content nor will Layer One be liable for any copying or usage of the User Content not authorized by Layer One. You hereby release and forever waive any claims you may have against Layer One for any such unauthorized copying or usage of the User Content, under any theory. THE SECURITY MEASURES TO PROTECT USER CONTENT USED BY LAYER ONE ARE PROVIDED AND USED \"AS-IS\" AND WITH NO WARRANTIES OR ASSURANCES THAT SUCH SECURITY MEASURES WILL WITHSTAND ATTEMPTS TO EVADE SECURITY MECHANISMS OR THAT THERE WILL BE NO CRACKS, DISABLEMENTS OR OTHER CIRCUMVENTION OF SUCH SECURITY MEASURES.
In order for Layer One to provide the Service to you, we require that you grant Layer One certain rights with respect to User Content. For example, Layer One needs to be able to transmit, store and copy User Content in order to display it to you and users you have shared it with, to make backups, to prevent data loss, and so on. Your acceptance of these Terms gives Layer One the permission to do so and grants Layer One any such rights necessary to provide the Service to you, only for the purpose of providing the Service (and for no other purpose). This permission includes allowing us to use third-party service providers (such as Amazon Web Services) in the operation and administration of the Service and the rights granted to Layer One are extended to these third parties to the degree necessary in order for the Service to be provided.
If you submit or post User Content to the Service you grant Layer One a worldwide, nonexclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, irrevocable and fully sublicensable right to use, reproduce, modify, adapt, publish, translate, create derivative works from, distribute, perform and display such User Content in any form, format, media or media channels now known or developed or discovered afterwards. You grant Layer One and our sublicensees the right to use the name that you submit in connection with such content, if we or they choose. If any users send us any feedback or suggestions regarding the Service, you grant Layer One an unlimited, irrevocable, perpetual, free license to use any such feedback or suggestions for any purpose without any obligation to you.
You are solely responsible for your conduct (including by and between all users), the User Content, and all communications with others while using the Services. Layer One may choose to review Public Content (as defined below) for compliance with our policies and guidelines, but you acknowledge that Layer One has no obligation to monitor any information on the Services. However, Layer One may remove or disable any publically visible content (“Public Content”) at any time for any reason or for no reason at all. For example, if you upload files that do not belong to you and display them on a broadcast, we can delete those files. We are not responsible for the accuracy, appropriateness, or legality of User Content or any other information you and your users may be able to access using the Services. The Services provide features that allow you and your users to share User Content and other materials with others or to make it public. Please consider carefully what you allow to be shared or made public.

Please make sure you provide to Layer One on registration and at all other times information which will be true, accurate, current, complete and kept up to date to the best of your ability.

You also acknowledge and agree that Layer One may publish information regarding your use of the Service to and in connection with any such third party site with which you use the Service (unless you tell us otherwise).
Subscription Service; Payments.

You will promptly update your account information with any changes in your payment information.

If you dispute any charges you must let Layer One know within sixty (60) days after the date that Layer One invoices you. All amounts paid are non-refundable and we reserve the right to change our prices in the future. If we increase our prices for your Subscription Service plan, we will provide notice of the change on the Site. Your continued use of the Service after the price change goes into effect constitutes your agreement to pay the changed amount. You are responsible for all charges incurred under your account. Layer One reserves the right to deactivate Subscription Services to your account if payment is past due, regardless of the dollar amount. Layer One may choose to bill you through an invoice, in which case, full payment for invoices issued must be received by the date specified in the invoice. Past due fees are subject to a finance charge of 1.5% per month on any outstanding balance, or the maximum permitted by law, whichever is lower, plus all expenses of collection.

Further, you understand that User Content may be transmitted or handled in an unencrypted manner if you choose to use unencrypted gateways to connect to the Service. Additionally, while Layer One takes steps to ensure that information provided to its third party vendors and hosting partners is transmitted using reasonable security measures, it does not guarantee that these transmissions will be encrypted. Accordingly, you acknowledge that you bear sole responsibility for adequate security, protection and backup of your User Content. Layer One will have no liability to you for any unauthorized access or use of any of your User Content, or any corruption, deletion, destruction or loss of any of User Content.

Dispute Resolution/Arbitration; Applicable Law and Venue
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES WITH LAYER ONE AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM LAYER ONE.
In order to expedite and control the cost of disputes, you and Layer One agree to arbitrate any dispute arising out of or relating in any way to your use of the Services or these Terms, and the formation, validity, enforceability, scope, or applicability of this Terms, except that you and Layer One are not required to arbitrate any dispute in which either party seeks equitable and other relief for the alleged unlawful use of copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents. ARBITRATION PREVENTS YOU FROM SUING IN COURT OR FROM HAVING A JURY TRIAL. You and Layer One agree that you will notify each other in writing of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises. Notice to Layer One shall be sent to Layer One, LLC, Attn: Legal, 5047 Vernon Oaks Dr. Atlanta, GA 30338. You and Layer One further agree: to attempt informal resolution prior to any demand for arbitration; that any arbitration will occur in Dekalb, Georgia; that arbitration will be conducted confidentially by a single arbitrator in accordance with the rules of JAMS; and that the state or federal courts in Dekalb, Georgia have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals of an arbitration award and over any suit between the parties not subject to arbitration. Other than class procedures and remedies discussed below, the arbitrator has the authority to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court. Any dispute between the parties will be governed by this Agreement and the laws of the State of Georgia and applicable United States law, without giving effect to any conflict of laws principles that may provide for the application of the law of another jurisdiction. Whether the dispute is heard in arbitration or in court, you and Layer One will not commence against the other a class action, class arbitration or other representative action or proceeding.

Notice posted on the Service is deemed given 30 days following the initial posting.
