  3. “Login” means the combination of the unique username and password sold or provided by VRSmash to the User and used to access the Membership.
  4. “Membership” means the access granted to a User to the Premium Area using a Login for a limited period to use the Services.

2. Fees and Membership Information. Users are liable for Fees for Membership and all taxes. You must provide us with a valid Payment Method. We will bill the Fees to your chosen Payment Method. We may adjust Fees for Memberships at any time. We do not provide price protection or refunds in the event of a price reduction or promotional offering.
3. Membership Types. The Website may offer various types of Memberships of different terms (ex: monthly or yearly) (each, a “Membership Term”). Each Membership Term offered will have its own Fee indicated during the join process and, except for nonrecurring Memberships, will rebill at the Fee and at the frequency indicated in the receipt sent to the User’s email address. Fees are subject to change due to laws and taxes; if you do not cancel within 30 days, you are considered to have accepted the Fee change.
4. Auto-Renewal. Except for nonrecurring Memberships, your Membership will continue for the Membership Term and automatically renew for additional prepaid periods of the same length at the rates in effect at the time you originally signed up until canceled. Users must cancel their recurring Membership before it renews each Membership Term to avoid billing of the next Membership Term’s Fees to their Payment Method. Until canceled, the User authorizes VRSmash to continue charging the User’s Payment Method to pay: (a) Fees for recurring Membership; (b) all purchases of other products, services, and entertainment provided by the Website; and (c) other liabilities of User to VRSmash.
5. Delayed Transactions. If a User’s Payment Method was declined, we may try to process the Payment Method again under the same conditions as initiated by the User, within seven days of the User’s first attempt to purchase that Membership. Where the Payment Method is approved in that circumstance, the User will receive an email confirming the successful completion of their transaction along with their Login details. For recurring Memberships, the User’s next rebill will be attempted on their initial rebill date. We may change the Fee of the rebill or of the initial transaction to a lesser amount with the obligation to continue the User’s recurring Membership at the original rebill Fee, which will take effect as of the next rebill unless the User cancels before that rebill, or at the initial Payment Method Fee to successfully complete the User’s purchase of their Membership. If an unsuccessful recurring payment, we may charge an administrative fee of up to US$2 to maintain an active Membership until the Membership Fee can be processed successfully. At any time, if you have any questions about the rebill Fee or date of your Membership, please contact [email protected].
6. Daily Download Policy. The Website limits you to downloading no more than 20 scenes a day. VRSmash may change the daily download limits at any time without notice. VRSmash may suspend or ban accounts that exceed this daily limit. If your account is banned, you will receive a pro-rated refund based on the time remaining on your Membership. VRSmash will notify any user whose account is suspended or banned by email.
7. Viewing Restrictions. You may stream or download content for your personal viewing purposes. You must not: (a) transmit or distribute any content through any means; (b) publicly exhibit any content; (c) resell views of any content; or (d) allow others to use your Login to view or download content.

  3. Some content might not be available for viewing on all devices or in all territories.
  4. Content is made available to Users exclusively through their VRSmash account. You must maintain your Membership in good standing to stream or download content. If your Membership is canceled, you will lose the ability to watch content.
9. Cancellation Policy. You may cancel your recurring Membership at any time by contacting the payment processor identified in the receipt emailed to you or ask us how by emailing us at [email protected]. If a recurring Membership is canceled before the renewal date, the User will continue to have access to the Premium Area for the remainder of the Membership Term. If a recurring Membership is canceled before the renewal date, the User will continue to have access to the Premium Area for the remainder of the Membership Term.
10. Taxes, Billing Disputes, Refund Policy, and Chargeback Policy.
  1. Taxes. You are responsible for all federal, state, or local sales or use taxes, value-added taxes (VAT), or similar taxes or fees payable with your purchase. If you do not pay those taxes or fees on a transaction, you will be responsible for those taxes or fees if they are later found to be payable on that sale, and we may collect those taxes or other fees from you at any time. If we must collect or pay any taxes with your purchase, we will charge you those taxes at the time of each payment transaction.
  2. Billing Disputes. If you believe that we have charged your Payment Method in error, you must notify us in writing no later than 30 days after you receive the billing statement in which the error first appeared. If you do not notify us in writing of a dispute within this period, you waive any disputed charges. You must submit any billing disputes in writing through [email protected] and include a detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed charges. We will correct any mistakes in a bill and add or credit them against your future payments.
  3. Refund Policy. If you believe exceptional circumstances exist for a refund, please email us at [email protected]. If we issue a refund in our sole discretion, we will issue that refund in the form of a credit to the Payment Method used to make the original purchase. We will not issue refunds in the form of cash, check, or free services. All refunds will be issued within ten days of communication between the User and VRSmash. Issuing a refund in one instance does not entitle you to a refund in the future for similar instances, nor does it require us to issue refunds in the future under any circumstance. This section 17.10(c) does not affect any statutory right to receive a refund from VRSmash that a User might have under law.
  4. Chargeback Policy. We carefully investigate all Chargebacks. You must not make unjustified Chargeback requests of your payment card provider. The User will remain responsible for the consequences caused by such a breach of contract. We will review excessive and potentially fraudulent Chargebacks and we may prevent the User from making additional purchases during that review. If we determine that any Chargeback request is fraudulent or was made by the User in bad faith, we may suspend and terminate your Membership or any future Membership you purchase.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction; Jury Trial Waiver.
1. California law governs all adversarial proceedings arising out of this agreement or access or use of the Website. This agreement’s predominant purpose is providing services and licensing access to intellectual property and not a “sale of goods.” The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not govern this agreement, the application of which is expressly excluded.
2. Except for disputes subject to arbitration, as the exclusive means of bringing adversarial proceedings to resolve any dispute arising out of this agreement or the subject matter of this agreement, a party may bring such a proceeding in the United States District Court for the Central District of California or in a state court of California. Each party acknowledges that those courts would be a convenient forum. Each party hereby waives its right to a trial by jury in any adversarial proceedings arising out of this agreement.
Arbitration; Class Action Waiver.
1. You and VRSmash hereby waive any right to litigate claims in a court or before a jury, or to participate in a class action or representative action regarding a claim. Other rights that you would have if you went to court may also be unavailable or might be limited in arbitration. Any claim, dispute, or controversy (whether in contract, tort, or otherwise, whether pre-existing, present, or future, and including statutory, consumer protection, common law, intentional tort, injunctive, and equitable claims) between you and us arising from or relating in any way to your use of the Website, will be resolved exclusively and finally by binding arbitration.
2. Arbitration Resolution Services, Inc. (ARS) (or a similar online dispute resolution provider if ARS is not available) will administer the arbitration under its rules available at www.arbresolutions.com, then in effect, except as modified by this section 24. The Federal Arbitration Act will govern the interpretation and enforcement of this section 24. The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to arbitrability or enforceability of this arbitration provision, including any unconscionability challenge or any other challenge that the arbitration provision or the agreement is void, voidable, or otherwise invalid. The arbitrator will be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in court under law or in equity. Any award from the arbitrator will be final and binding on each of the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. If you prevail on any claim that affords the prevailing party legal fees, the arbitrator may award reasonable fees to you under the standards for fee shifting provided by law.
3. You may elect to pursue your claim in small-claims court rather than arbitration if you provide us with written notice of your intent to do so within 60 days of the date your claim arose. The arbitration or small-claims court proceeding will be limited solely to your individual dispute or controversy.
4. You agree to arbitrate on an individual basis. In any dispute, neither you nor VRSmash will be entitled to join or consolidate claims by or against other users in court or in arbitration or otherwise participate in any claim as a class representative, class member, or in a private attorney general capacity. The arbitral tribunal will not consolidate more than one person’s claims and will not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. The arbitral tribunal has no power to consider the enforceability of this class arbitration waiver and any challenge to the class arbitration waiver may only be raised in a court of competent jurisdiction.
5. If any provision of this section 24 is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.
Recovery of Expenses. In any proceedings between the parties arising out of this agreement or relating to the subject matter of this agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover from the other party, besides any other relief awarded, all expenses that the prevailing party incurs in those proceedings, including legal fees and expenses.
Limitation on Time to Bring Claims. A party shall not bring a claim arising out of this agreement or access or use of the Website more than one year after the cause of action arose. Any claim brought after one year is barred.
