3. USER CONTENT
What’s permitted?
The Services allow you and other users to create, post, send and store
content or submissions, including messages, text, photos, videos, and
other materials (we call these "User Content").  You are permitted to
post User Content that: (a) is non-confidential; (b) you own or have all
necessary legal rights to post to the Services; (c) you have the written
consent, release, and/or permission from each identifiable person to use
their name or likeness; (d) is accurate and not misleading or harmful in
any manner; and (e) complies with these Terms, the Community &

Content Policy, and any applicable laws, rules or regulations.  You
understand that User Content may be displayed publicly.
With some of our Services, we may enable linking or sharing to certain
available content.  When such linking or sharing is permitted, you may
only do so for personal, non-commercial purposes, and this permission
is non-transferable and may be revoked at any time. Any such links
shall: (i) contain only text, and not any Voice Of Friend or Services
trademarks, (ii) not suggest affiliation with Voice Of Friend or cause
confusion; and (iii) not portray Voice Of Friend or the Services in a false,
misleading, derogatory, or otherwise offensive manner, and not contain
content that violates these Terms or the rights of any third party.

necessary legal licenses, rights, consents, and permissions to use, post,
publish the User Content and to enable inclusion and use of the User
Content in the manner contemplated by the Services and these Terms;

and every identifiable individual person in the User Content to use their
respective name or likeness to enable inclusion and use of the User
Content in the manner contemplated by the Services and these Terms.

liability for any User Content or any loss or damage related to User
Content. Specifically for the Service “Manga,” Voice Of Friend reserves
the right to change the source of manga without prior notice. Voice Of
Friend does not claim to own or create any of the manga, or their
underlying content, and Voice Of Friend’s re-designation of the source of
manga does not create any right of ownership to, or any liability for, the
manga.

Policy for any Service, which we may update from time to time. You
agree not to post, store, create or otherwise publish or send through the

Community & Content Policy. Among other things, Voice Of Friend
forbids User Content that infringes other’s intellectual property rights,

including without limitation, copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret,
privacy or publicity rights.  Some other examples of User Content that is
not permitted include, without limitation:

accordance with these Terms.  For example, material that is the
copyright, trademark, patent, or trade secret of another, or is otherwise

rights;
· Falsehoods or misrepresentations that could damage any third party or
Voice Of Friend;
·  Material that is unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening,
pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or

users or User Content may be inaccurate, offensive, indecent, or
objectionable. You may also access third party content or services.

15.  DISPUTES—ARBITRATION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.  IT REQUIRES YOU TO
ARBITRATE DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU
CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM VOICE OF FRIEND.

Any dispute, claim, or cause of action arising out of or relating in any
way to these Terms, the Services, or Service Materials (we call these
“Disputes”), shall be resolved by confidential binding arbitration on an
individual basis, rather than in court, except as otherwise stated herein. 
You and Voice Of Friend each waive your respective rights to a jury trial
for Disputes. This arbitration provision is governed by the Federal
Arbitration Act.
As an exception to the arbitration requirement, the following disputes
may be brought in court:  (i) any dispute that seeks injunctive or other
equitable relief for the alleged unlawful use of intellectual property (such
as copyrights, trademarks, trade names, logos, trade secrets, or patents)
may be brought in court; (ii) any claim of interference or attempted
interference with our Services; and (iii) disputes regarding the scope and
enforceability of this arbitration provision.  In addition, either party may
assert the Dispute in small claims court if the Dispute qualifies.
You and Voice Of Friend agree that Disputes are personal and therefore,
class actions and class arbitrations are not permitted. Neither you nor
Voice Of Friend will commence against the other a class action, class
arbitration or other representative action or proceeding that would affect
other users of the Services. The arbitrator does not have the authority to
conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, and may not
consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of
class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding
involving more than one individual.
Any arbitration under this provision shall be held in Los Angeles,
California (or, alternatively, via telephone or video conference) before
and in accordance with the applicable rules of JAMS, which are available
on the JAMS website. You either acknowledge and agree that you have
read and understand the rules of JAMS or waive your opportunity to read
the rules of JAMS and any claim that the rules of JAMS are unfair or
should not apply for any reason. Arbitrations shall be conducted in
English.  All documents and information disclosed in the course of the
arbitration shall be kept strictly confidential by the recipient and shall not
be used by the recipient for any purpose other than for the arbitration or
the enforcement of the arbitrator’s decision and award and shall not be

disclosed except in confidence to persons who have a need to know for
such purposes or as required by applicable law.
As limited by the Federal Arbitration Act, these Terms, and the
applicable JAMS rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to
make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any individual
Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in
court (excluding class arbitrations or representative actions as noted
above).  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
You and Voice Of Friend agree that you will notify each other in writing
of any dispute within thirty (30) days of when it arises before filing for
arbitration. Notice to Voice Of Friend must be sent via our contact form.
If the Dispute is not resolved informally between the parties within thirty
(30) days of the date of notice, then either party may initiate arbitration in
accordance with these Terms.
Any Dispute must be filed within eighteen months after it arose;
otherwise, your claim is permanently barred.
Opt-Out of Arbitration:  You have the right within thirty (30) days of first
accepting these Terms to decline this agreement to arbitrate.  To do so,
you must send written notice with your name, address, username, email
address or phone number that you use for your Service account, identify
the Service(s) you use, and clearly state that you want to opt out of the
Terms of Service arbitration agreement. If you choose to file an
arbitration proceeding after providing Voice Of Friend the required
notice, Voice Of Friend will pay the filing fees, administration and hearing
costs, and arbitrator fees if the arbitration seeks less than US $10,000
and the Dispute is not determined to be frivolous or improper by the
arbitrator. We will also pay the fees and costs for any arbitration that we
initiate. For all other Disputes, the fees and costs shall be paid according
to the JAMS rules, including rules regarding frivolous or improper
claims.  The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the
payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the
preceding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the
arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.

16.  APPLICABLE LAW AND VENUE
These Terms and your use of the Services shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of California without resort to its
conflict of law provisions. To the extent the arbitration requirement does
not apply (if ever), you agree that any action at law or in equity for any
Dispute shall be filed only in the state and federal courts located in Los
Angeles County, California and you hereby irrevocably and
unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such
courts over any suit, action or proceeding for any Dispute.
17.  TERMINATION
Section 5 of these Terms have described specific instances in which
Voice Of Friend will automatically terminate a User’s account for
specified violations, such as for repeat infringement.  In addition, Voice
Of Friend reserves the right, without notice and in its sole discretion, to
terminate your license to use the Services and/or Service Materials at
any time and to block or prevent your future access to, and use of, the
Services and/or Service Materials, for any or no reason. Voice Of Friend
also has the right to remove prohibited User Content at any time, without
prior notice and at its sole discretion.
18.  SEVERABILITY
If any provision, or part thereof, in these Terms shall be deemed
unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then the unenforceable
provision or part thereof, shall be deemed severable from these Terms
and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the rest of the
provision and any remaining provisions in these Terms.
19.  CHANGES TO TERMS
If we makes changes to these Terms, we will provide notice by posting a
notice on the Services and will give you an opportunity to review the

changes before they go into effect.  We will also update the "Last
Updated" date on the first page once the Terms take effect. Your
continued use of the Services after notice will confirm your acceptance
of the changes.  If you do not agree to the updated Terms, you may
