These Internet sites offer a wide variety of content, documents, materials, information, resources, software, products and services, which may include communication forums, software downloads, and product information, some or all of which may be accessed through a variety of means (all of which are collectively called our “Site” or “Sites”). The term “you” or “your” includes any of your subsidiaries, affiliates and employees, and your employer and any other entity on whose behalf you accept these Terms of Use. Star Maker Marketing provides the Site subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions set forth in these Terms of Use.
Please read these Terms of Use carefully. BY ACCESSING OR USING OUR SITE IN ANY WAY YOU ARE AGREEING TO COMPLY WITH AND BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS OF USE, INCLUDING ANY DOCUMENTS, POLICIES AND GUIDELINES INCORPORATED BY REFERENCE (REFERRED TO COLLECTIVELY AS THE “TERMS”).

Certain portions or areas of our Site, and certain materials, information, products, services, and other Content (as defined below) available through our Site, especially portions or areas of the Site or services for which you are asked to register or subscribe, may have their own additional or different notices, terms, and conditions that apply to your purchase or use of that particular portion or area of the Site, material, information, product, service, or other Content. In the event of any conflict, such additional or different notices, terms, and conditions will prevail over those on this page solely with respect to that particular portion or area of the Site, material, information, product, service, or other Content. To the extent that there is any conflict between these Terms and any valid written terms and conditions or agreements relating to products or services you have licensed or purchased or online services or tools you use or to which you subscribe, those other terms and conditions or agreements will govern.
- CHANGES TO THE TERMS OR SITE
Star Maker Marketing may change or modify the Terms from time-to-time without notice other than posting the amended Terms on the Site. The amended Terms will automatically be effective when posted on our Site. Your continued use of our Site after any changes in these Terms shall constitute your consent to such changes. Star Maker Marketing reserves the right to change, modify or discontinue, temporarily or permanently, the Site (or any portion thereof), including any and all content contained on the Site, at any time without notice. You agree that Star Maker Marketing shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any modification, suspension or discontinuance of the Site (or any portion thereof).
- REGISTRATION, PASSWORD AND SECURITY
Whenever you provide us information on our Site, you agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information and (b) maintain and promptly update such information to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is, or we have reasonable grounds to suspect that the information is, untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Star Maker Marketing may without notice suspend or terminate your access to our Site and refuse any and all current or future use of our Site (or any portion thereof).
If any portion or area of our Site requires you to register or open an account you may also be asked to choose a password and a user name. Please select a password that would not be obvious to someone trying to guess your password, and change it regularly as an added precaution. We may refuse to grant you a user name that impersonates someone else, is or may be illegal, is or may be protected by trademark or other proprietary rights law, is vulgar or otherwise offensive, or may cause confusion, as determined by us in our sole discretion. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of the password and account, and you are fully responsible for all activities that occur under your password or account identification. You agree to immediately notify Star Maker Marketing of any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. Without limiting any rights which Star Maker Marketing may otherwise have, Star Maker Marketing reserves the right to take any and all action, as it deems necessary or reasonable, to ensure the security of the Sites and your account, including without limitation terminating your account, changing your password, or requesting additional information to authorize transactions on your account. Notwithstanding the above, Star Maker Marketing may rely on the authority of anyone accessing your account or using your password and in no event and under no circumstances shall Star Maker Marketing be held liable to you for any liabilities or damages resulting from or arising out of (i) any action or inaction of Star Maker Marketing under this provision, (ii) any compromise of the confidentiality of your account or password and (iii) any unauthorized access to your account or use of your password. You may not use anyone else’s account at any time, without the permission of the account holder.
The security of your personally identifying information is important to us. While there is no such thing as “perfect security” on the Internet, we will take reasonable steps to help ensure the safety of your personally identifying information. However, you understand and agree that such steps do not guarantee that use of the Site is invulnerable to all security breaches, and that Star Maker Marketing makes no warranty, guarantee, or representation that use of any of our Site is protected from viruses, security threats or other vulnerabilities.

If a protective order is not obtained, you must disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which your counsel advises is legally required to be disclosed.
- CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Star Maker Marketing infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted by Star Maker Marketing on one of our Forums), you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Star Maker Marketing to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by Star Maker Marketing against you, the DMCA permits you to send Star Maker Marketing a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to: 565 Metro Place S., #300, Dublin, Ohio 43017, Phone: (614) 233-1197 E-mail: ad***@ma*************.com. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

- MISCELLANEOUS
Rights and obligations under these Terms which by their nature should survive will remain in full effect after termination or expiration of the Terms. Star Maker Marketing´s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these Terms shall be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from the Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. These Terms shall be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Ohio, United States of America, applicable to agreements made and to be performed in Ohio, without regard to its principles of conflicts of law. Unless otherwise specified in this Agreement or except when local laws require otherwise, you agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any State or Federal court located in the County Franklin, Ohio, United States of America, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts. No modification to these Terms will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an duly authorized representative of Star Maker Marketing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in these Terms, Star Maker Marketing may enforce its rights against you in any court of competent jurisdiction. This Agreement will not be governed by the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the application of which is expressly excluded.
