Description of Service

The Artist Presentationsä service provides users with access to a collection of resources now known or hereafter developed (the "Service"). You also understand and agree that the Service may include advertisements and that these advertisements may be necessary for Escalet to provide the Service. You also understand and agree that the Service may include certain communications from Escalet such as service announcements, administrative messages and the Artist Presentations Newsletter, and that these communications are considered part of the Artist Presentations membership and you will not be able to opt out of receiving them. Unless explicitly stated otherwise, any new features that augments or enhances the current Service, including the release of new Artists Presentations services, shall be subject to the TOS. You understand and agree that the Service is provided "AS-IS" and that Escalet assumes no responsibility for the timeliness, deletion, improper delivery or failure to store any user communications or personalization settings. You are responsible for obtaining access to the Service, and that access may involve third-party fees (such as Internet service provider or airtime charges). You are responsible for those fees. In addition, you must provide and are responsible for all equipment necessary to access the Service.

In consideration of your use of the Service, you represent that you are of legal age to form a binding contract and are not a person barred from receiving services under the laws of the United States or other applicable jurisdiction. You also agree to: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by the Service's registration form (the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data to keep it true, accurate, current and complete. If you provide any information that is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, or Escalet has reasonable grounds to suspect that such information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, Escalet has the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse any and all current or future use of the Service (or any portion thereof).

GENERAL INFORMATION

Entire Agreement. The TOS constitutes the entire agreement between you and Escalet and governs your use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and Escalet with respect to the Service. You also may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when you use or purchase certain other Escalet/Artist Presentations services, affiliate services, third-party content or third-party software.

Applicable Law. The TOS and the relationship between you and Escalet shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Escalet agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Contra Costa, California.

Waiver and Severability of Terms. The failure of Escalet to exercise or enforce any right or provision of the TOS shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of the TOS 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 the TOS remain in full force and effect.

No Right of Survivorship and Non-Transferability. You agree that your Artist Presentations account is non-transferable and any rights to your Artist Presentations ID or contents within your account terminate upon your death. Upon receipt of a copy of a death certificate, your account may be terminated and all contents therein permanently deleted.

Statute of Limitations. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Service or the TOS must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever barred.

The section titles in the TOS are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
