YesVideo, Inc. (“YesVideo”, “We”, or “us”) welcomes you to our websites (www.yesvideo.com and/or www.capture.com, each a “Site”) and the applications and services available from us, including the YesVideo digital conversion, online hosting, and sharing services (collectively with the Sites, the “Services”).

Your use of the Services is also subject to our Privacy Policy, which is located on the Site, as well as any policies and procedures we publish from time to time (collectively, the “Policies”).

- Services
YesVideo offers digital conversion of photos, videos, film, and digital media to help you preserve your favorite moments and memories. When you place an order (an “Order”), you will be provided and required to pay an estimated amount for the Services requested (the “Estimated Fees”). Once your order is complete, you will receive an email notice from us that we have finished processing your Order and detailing any adjustments necessary to account for discrepancies between the Estimated Fees and the final cost Services (the “Total Fees”). Following payment of the Total Fees, as applicable, you will receive an email notice from us that your order has shipped, along with instructions on how to access and save the transferred digital files from your order ("Digital Files"). All Digital Files are accessible for sixty (60) days following delivery of this email notice (“Availability Period”). This email notice will tell you how many days your files are available for. DIGITAL FILES ARE DELETED FROM THE YESVIDEO SYSTEMS UPON EXPIRATION OF THE AVAILABILITY PERIOD.
You may choose to download and/or add Digital Files to Google Photos during the Availability Period. As a YesVideo customer using the Home Movie and Photo Transfer Service, all Digital Files added to Google Photos are stored at 'original quality', count towards your Google Photos storage quota, and are subject to Google’s Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Adding Digital Files to Google Photos requires internet access and a Google account. Google accounts may be created online for free.
- Fees
As noted above, prior to placing an Order for the Services you must pay the Estimated Fees. When you place an Order, you acknowledge and agree that payment of the Total Fees is required prior to you receiving your Digital Files. In the event the Total Fees are less than the Estimated Fees paid, you will be entitled to, and YesVideo shall provide, a refund for the difference.
- Eligibility
When you use the Services, you represent that you are (i) at least the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside or (ii) if you have not reached the age of majority in the jurisdiction where you reside, that you have received permission to use the Services from your parent or legal guardian. In no event shall the Services be used by any person under the age of 13.

You acknowledge that use of the Services may result in unexpected results, loss or corruption of data and that if your use of the Site or the Services results in the need for servicing or replacing your equipment or data, we are not responsible for any such costs. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of or limitation of certain categories of damages or implied warranties; therefore, the above limitations may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, our liability is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
- Limitation of Liability
Any liability we have to you in connection with these Terms, under any cause of action or theory, is strictly limited to, in aggregate for all violations, $100. Without limiting the previous sentence, in no event shall we or any of our affiliates be liable to you for any indirect, special, incidental, consequential, punitive, or exemplary damages arising out of, or in connection with, these Terms.

- Dispute Resolution
READ THIS SECTION 18 CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES THE PARTIES TO ARBITRATE THEIR DISPUTES AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CANSEEK RELIEF FROM US. For any dispute with us, you agree to first contact us at support@yesvideo.com and attempt to resolve the dispute with us informally. In the unlikely event that we have not been able to resolve a dispute with you after sixty (60) days, we each agree to resolve any claim, dispute, or controversy (excluding any claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as provided below) arising out of or in connection with or relating to this agreement, or the breach or alleged breach thereof (collectively, “Claims”), by binding arbitration by JAMS, under the Optional Expedited Arbitration Procedures then in effect for JAMS, except as provided herein. JAMS may be contacted at www.jamsadr.com. The arbitration will be conducted in Santa Clara County, California, unless you and we agree otherwise. If you are using the Site for commercial purposes, each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules, and the award rendered by the arbitrator shall include costs of arbitration, reasonable attorneys’ fees and reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses. If you are an individual using the Site for non-commercial purposes: (i) JAMS may require you to pay a fee for the initiation of your case, unless you apply for and successfully obtain a fee waiver from JAMS; (ii) the award rendered by the arbitrator may include your costs of arbitration, your reasonable attorney's fees, and your reasonable costs for expert and other witnesses; and (iii) you may sue in a small claims court of competent jurisdiction without first engaging in arbitration, but this does not absolve you of your commitment to engage in the informal dispute resolution process. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent us from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief from the courts as necessary to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation, or violation of our data security, intellectual property rights, or other proprietary rights.

You agree that, to the extent applicable and expressly subject to the dispute resolution provisions below, to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts serving Santa Clara County, California in circumstances where these Terms permit litigation in court. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit YesVideo from instituting an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to obtain injunctive relief to protect or enforce its intellectual property rights.
