post, upload, submit, publish, or display (hereinafter "post") or transmit to or share with other Members
(collectively, the "Member Content"). Any Member Content that is posted will not be treated as
confidential. Know Means No has the right, but not the obligation, to monitor and decline, edit, or remove
(without notice) all or any portion of any Member Content for any reason or no reason. If Know Means No
chooses at any time, in its sole discretion, to monitor Member Content, it still has no responsibility for the
Member Content or for the conduct of the Member posting Member Content or to edit or remove any
Member Content, except in compliance with Section 12 below. If you are involved in a dispute with one or
more Members of Know Means No, you release Know Means No (including its officers, directors,
affiliates, and employees) from claims, demands, and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind
arising out of or in any way connected to any dispute.
When you post or otherwise make available any Member Content for inclusion on any part of our
websites or mobile applications or otherwise in connection with the Services, you are hereby granting
Know Means No an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, worldwide license
(with the right to sublicense) to use, copy, transmit, reproduce, adapt, modify, publicly perform, publicly

display, reformat, translate, excerpt (in whole or in part), create collective works and distribute such
Member Content for any purpose, commercial, advertising, or otherwise, on or in connection with the
Services or the promotion thereof, or for Know Means No's (and its successors and affiliates business
including without limitation for promoting and redistributing part or all of our websites, mobile applications
or the Services (and derivative works thereof) in any media or distribution method (now known or later
developed), to prepare derivative works of, or incorporate into other works, such Member Content, and to
grant and authorize sublicenses of the foregoing. You represent and warrant that you will not provide any
Member Content to which you do not have the full right to grant the license. You waive all moral rights in
the Member Content which may be available to you in any part of the world and confirm that no such
rights have been asserted. You represent and warrant to Know Means No that Know Means No is free to
exercise its rights to and/or implement your Member Content if it so desires, without obtaining permission
or license from any third party and without reference to you or any other person.

in connection with the Services is believed to be complete and reliable; however, the information may
contain typographical errors, pricing errors, and other errors or inaccuracies. We will use reasonable
efforts to correct errors as soon as practicable. We reserve the right to: (i) revoke any stated offer; (ii)

submitted and/or acknowledged) and to revise, suspend, or terminate an event, or promotion at any time
without notice (including after an order has been submitted and/or acknowledged). The offer of any
products, services and/or experiences at a particular time does not guarantee that the products, services
and/or experiences will be available. If a product, service and/or experience offered and sold by us is not
as described, except as limited by applicable law in your jurisdiction, including, but not limited to,
jurisdictions such as the State of New Jersey, your sole remedy is to return it subject to the terms set forth

CONTENT IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK AND IS MADE AVAILABLE ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE"
BASIS WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
ALL PRODUCTS SOLD BY Know Means No ARE SUBJECT TO ANY APPLICABLE WARRANTIES AND

AVAILABLE OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE SERVICES OR ANY INFORMATION CONTAINED
THEREON OR STORED OR MAINTAINED BY Know Means No OR ANY THIRD PARTY WEBSITE(S),

OTHERWISE, EVEN IF Know Means No HAS BEEN ADVISED OF OR SHOULD HAVE KNOWN OF
THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY
CONTAINED IN THESE TERMS, THE TOTAL LIABILITY OF Know Means No, ITS PARENT,
SUBSIDIARIES, OR AFFILIATES OR THIRD PARTIES PROVIDING INFORMATION ON OR IN

OR OTHERWISE STORED BY OR ON BEHALF OF Know Means No.


You hereby acknowledge that the preceding paragraph shall apply to all content, merchandise, products,
services and experiences available through the Services. Because some states do not allow limitations
on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain damages, in such states some or all of the
above disclaimers or exclusions may not apply and liability will be limited to the fullest extent permitted by
applicable law, including, but not limited to, the laws in the State of New Jersey.


10. Risk of Loss. The items purchased through the Services are shipped by a third party carrier pursuant
to a shipment contract. As a result, risk of loss and title for such items pass to you upon our delivery to
the carrier.


11. Unavailability of Services; Termination; Fraud. We may alter, suspend, or discontinue these Services
in whole or in part, at any time and for any reason, without notice or cost. In addition, the Services may be
temporarily unavailable from time to time for maintenance or other reasons. We may, in our sole
discretion, terminate or suspend your use or access to all or part of the Services or your account or
membership, for any reason, including without limitation, breach of these Terms. If at any time, we notify
you that your access to and/or use of the Services or your account is terminated, you must cease and
desist from all such access and/or use immediately. We reserve the right to cancel, delay, refuse to ship,
or recall from the shipper any order if fraud is suspected. In the event these Terms or your membership or
account are terminated, the restrictions regarding intellectual property matters, the representations and
warranties, indemnities, and limitations of liabilities set forth herein (as well as any other of your
obligations which by their nature should survive termination) will survive termination.

12. Copyright Infringement; Notice and Take Down Procedures. All materials on the Services, as well as
the organization and layout of the Services, are owned and copyrighted or otherwise licensed by Know
Means No or its third party vendors. No reproduction, distribution or transmission of the copyrighted
materials on the Services is permitted without the written authorization of Know Means No. Any rights not
expressly granted herein are reserved.


The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("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 that any materials on our websites or mobile applications infringe your copyright, you may request
that they be removed. This request must bear a signature (or electronic equivalent) of the copyright
holder or an authorized representative, and must: (a) identify the allegedly infringing materials; (b)
indicate where on the websites or mobile applications the infringing materials are located; (c) provide your
name and contact information; (d) state that you have a good faith belief that the materials are infringing;
(e) state that the information in your claim is accurate; and (f) indicate that under penalty of perjury you
are the lawful copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf. If you believe that someone
has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a
counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed
by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for further information. Our contact for copyright issues
relating to the Services (including the notices and counter-notices) is: info@knowmeansno.org. Please
note that there are penalties for false claims under the DMCA.


13. Governing Law and Venue. Your use of the Services shall be governed in all respects by the laws of
the state of California, U.S.A., without regard to conflicts of law principles, and not by the 1980 U.N.
Convention on contracts for the international sale of goods, as if this Agreement were a contract wholly
entered into and performed within the State of California. You hereby consent to the exclusive jurisdiction
and venue of any legal proceeding directly or indirectly arising out of or relating to the Services (including
but not limited to the purchase of Know Means No products) the state or federal courts located in the
County of San Francisco, California, U.S.A.. Access to or use of the Services is unauthorized in any
jurisdiction that does not give effect to all of the provisions of these Terms, including, without limitation,
this paragraph. Except as may be limited by applicable laws in your jurisdiction, including, but not limited
to, jurisdictions such as the State of New Jersey, any cause of action or claim you may have with respect
to the Services (including but not limited to the purchase of Know Means No products) must be
commenced within one (1) year after the claim or cause of action arises.
Know Means No’s failure to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any provision of these terms and
conditions shall not be construed as a waiver of any provision or right. Neither the course of conduct
between the parties nor trade practice shall act to modify any of these terms and conditions. Know Means
No may assign its rights and duties under this Agreement to any party at any time without notice to you.


14. Miscellaneous. Unless otherwise specified herein, these Terms, together with the Privacy Policy,
constitute the entire agreement between you and Know Means No with respect to the Services and

supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written or
electronic) between you and Know Means No with respect to the Services. If any part of these Terms is
held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed in a manner consistent with applicable law
to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions shall
remain in full force and effect. The failure of Know Means No to act with respect to a breach by you or
others does not waive Know Means No right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. Know
Means No’s failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a
waiver of such right or provision. These Terms, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not
be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by Know Means No without restriction. The
section headings contained in these Terms are included for convenience only and shall not limit or
otherwise affect the terms of these Terms.
