IN CONSIDERATION and exchange of the mutual covenants of the Parties contained herein and the mutual benefits to be received under this Agreement, the Parties agree as follows:

Acceptance of terms through use
You signify that you have read, understand and agree to be bound by this Agreement whether you are simply browsing the Site, participating in the Forums or accessing the Games as a Registered Licensee (collectively, “Users”).
This Agreement also includes, and by accessing or using the Site or Games you are agreeing to be bound by, the privacy policy found at www.nightofmystery.com/privacy and all other notices posted on the Site and applicable to the Site and/or Games (collectively, the “Policies”). The Policies are incorporated herein by this reference, and you agree to their terms. You should review the Policies frequently and carefully.
By using the Site you are consenting to have your personal data transferred to and processed in the United States.

Changes to this Agreement. We may change or modify this Agreement (including the Policies) at any time without further notice and such changes or modifications will become effective upon being posted on the Site. We will indicate at the top of its first page the date the Agreement was last revised.

Licensee Registration Data; Account Security
In order to access the Games and some features of the Forums, you must create an account. To access the Games you must also become a Registered Licensee, and pay the applicable License Fee. You may not use the account or License of any other person or entity.
For purposes of this Agreement, you are not a “Registered Licensee” until you have paid the applicable License Fee for each Game you wish to license. If Company grants you complimentary access to a Game for charitable purposes you are considered a “Charitable Licensee” and, as such, are subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, provided, however, that your License to use such Game shall expire immediately following the event specified in your Donation Receipt form. For the avoidance of doubt: aside from references to the term and Fee for a License, all references in this Agreement to a Registered Licensee shall also include a Charitable Licensee.
In addition to the other terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement, you agree (as more fully described below) to:
• provide accurate, current and complete information about you as may be requested by any registration form on or relating to the Site or Games ("Registration Data");
• maintain the security of your username and password, if any;
• maintain and promptly update your Registration Data, and any other information you provide to Company, to keep it accurate, current and complete; and
• be fully responsible for all use of your account and for any actions that take place using your account.
You consent and authorize us to verify your Registration Data as required for your use of and access to the Site and Games.
You are solely and entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account, including, but not limited to, any charges incurred relating to the Site or Games. You agree to notify us immediately of any unauthorized use of your account or any other breach of security known to you. You acknowledge that the complete privacy of your data transmitted while using or accessing the Site or Games cannot be guaranteed.
Company, in its sole discretion and without notice to you, may freeze or otherwise disable access to your account for a reasonable period of time to investigate any good faith suspicion Company may have regarding activities occurring under your account that may be in violation of this Agreement and/or applicable law.
You agree that your failure to abide by any provision of this Agreement, the Policies or any other Company operating rule or policy, your willful provision of inaccurate or unreliable Registration Data, your failure to advise Company regarding changes in your Registration Data, and/or your failure to respond to inquiries from Company concerning the accuracy of your Registration Data shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement. If within ten (10) calendar days after Company provides notice (in any form and via any method of delivery) to you of such material breach, you fail to provide evidence, reasonably satisfactory to Company, that you have not breached your obligations under this Agreement, Company may terminate your account and any outstanding Licenses without further notice to you and without any obligation to refund any License Fee, portion thereof or other sums you may have paid to Company.

Email and Notices. You agree that Company may provide any and all notices, statements and other communications to you through the e-mail address specified in your Registration Data or, in Company’s sole discretion, by mail, express delivery service, facsimile or other electronic communication sent to the respective addresses specified in your Registration Data.

Contingent upon your compliance with all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Company grants you a personal, revocable, nontransferable, and non-exclusive license to access and make use of the Site and (if you are a Registered Licensee) any Games for which you have paid the applicable License Fee, subject to the following terms and conditions:

• You abide by all the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation the requirements set forth under the section of this Agreement titled User Conduct and General Practices.
Except as otherwise specifically permitted herein, this license expressly excludes any resale of any part of the Site or Games; any derivative use of the Site or the Games; any downloading or copying of any other User’s Registration Data; and any use of data mining, robots, or similar data gathering and extraction tools. Neither the Site nor the Games nor any portion thereof may be reproduced, duplicated, copied, sold, resold, visited, or otherwise exploited without Company’s express written consent.
The Site and Games are protected by all applicable federal and international intellectual property laws. No portion of the Site or Games may be reprinted, republished, modified or distributed in any form without Company’s express written permission.

License Term and Termination.
If you are a Charitable Licensee, the term of your License shall expire immediately following the event specified in your Donation Receipt form.
If you are a Registered Licensee, the term of your License shall be perpetual, commencing upon Company’s collection of the applicable License Fee.
Your License is non-exclusive, non-transferrable and revocable upon your breach of any provision of this Agreement.
Your License will terminate immediately if you fail to comply with any term or condition of this Agreement. In such event, no notice shall be required by Company to effect such termination. Any breach by you of any terms or conditions herein, including but not limited to timely payment of all License Fees, shall be deemed material.

Either Party may terminate your License immediately by written notice if the other Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, becomes subject to a bankruptcy proceeding or is subject to the appointment of a receiver.
License Fees collected by Company are nonrefundable, notwithstanding termination of your License for any reason or by any Party.

You acknowledge, consent and agree that Company may access, preserve and disclose your account information and Licensee Data if required to do so by law or in a good faith belief that such access, preservation or disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) comply with legal process; (b) enforce the Agreement; (c) respond to claims that any Licensee Data violates the rights of third parties; (d) respond to your requests for customer service; or (e) protect the rights, property or personal safety of Company, its Users and the public.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy and Notification
Section 512 of the Copyright Law of the United States (17 U.S.C. §512) limits liability for copyright infringement by service providers if the service provider has designated an agent for notification of claimed infringement by providing contact information to the Copyright Office and through the service provider’s website. Night of Mystery, Inc. has designated an agent to receive notification of alleged copyright infringement (our agent is identified below). This notification is made without prejudice or admission as to the applicability of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C., Section 512, to Night of Mystery, Inc.

How to report a claim of infringement
If you believe that any of your exclusive rights under United States copyright law have been violated in a manner that constitutes infringement, and that the allegedly infringing material is accessible on the Site or through Night of Mystery, Inc. as an online service provider, you must notify our designated agent.
The law requires that to be valid, your claim of copyright infringement must be written and addressed to our agent (identified below) and must provide the following information (the list below comes straight from the statute; if you do not understand the language please seek independent advice):
• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

When filing an infringement claim, please include any URLs identifying the allegedly infringing material along with any other information that might assist our agent’s investigation of your claim.
Upon receipt of a valid claim (i.e., a claim in which all required information is substantially provided) Night of Mystery, Inc. will undertake to have the disputed material removed from public view. We will also notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material that we have removed or disabled access to that material. Night of Mystery, Inc. has no other role to play either in prosecuting or defending claims of infringement, and cannot be held accountable in any case for damages, regardless of whether a claim of infringement is found to be true or false.
Please note: If you materially misrepresent that material infringes your copyright interests, you may be liable for damages (including court costs and attorneys fees) and could be subject to criminal prosecution.

How to make a counter notification
• If you are a User and you feel that material that you have placed online that has been removed following an infringement complaint is in fact NOT an infringement, you may file a counter notification. Section 512 (g)(3) requires that to be valid, the counter notification must be written and addressed to our agent (identified below) and must provide the following information (again, the list below comes straight from the statute; if you do not understand the language please seek independent advice):
• A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
• The subscriber's name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
Our designated agent will present your counter notification to the person who filed the infringement complaint. Once your counter notification has been delivered, Night of Mystery, Inc. is allowed under the provisions of Section 512 to restore the removed material in not less than ten or more than fourteen days, unless the complaining party serves notice of intent to obtain a court order restraining the restoration.
It is Night of Mystery, Inc.’s policy to terminate users who are found to be repeat infringers.

Night of Mystery, Inc.’s designated agent is RANDI STRAND.

Terms of Use for Commercial Parties

The terms and conditions for using our website and licensing our games are outlined in the Agreement that appears here. The Agreement is an important legal document, and there’s no substitute for reading it carefully. If there are any conflicts between the Agreement and these Frequently Asked Questions, the Agreement controls.

How many times may I run a game, once I’ve purchased a license?
You must purchase a license for each game you wish to run. Once you’ve purchased a license, though, you may run the game as many times as you want to! Just remember, though: your license is limited, and personal to you. If anyone else wishes to run a game, they much purchase their own license.

Anyone who uses our materials without a license is committing copyright infringement. (And if you help them, you’re just a liable as they are.) Please be aware that we do monitor the internet for cases of infringement and we do prosecute when infringement occurs.


May I sell these games as my own?
No. This commercial fee only allows you to run the games, as is, for a profit. As noted in the terms and conditions, you may not reproduce these games and/or allow anyone else access to the games.


How long do I have to download the game materials, once I purchase my license?

You have two weeks from the time of purchase to download your product. The link that is issued with each purchase is unique to the purchaser and will expire after a two-week window starting at the time of your purchase.


What other restrictions should I know about?

Don’t run a game for commercial purposes unless you have purchased a commercial license. Without a commercial license, you (or your company) cannot charge any individual to take part or be a spectator while the game(s) are being played; nor may you include it in a package for which you have charged the individual. This pertains to, but is not limited to, such events as dinners run by restaurants in which the game is played at the restaurant, a function for a club in which the attendees are paying members, overnights at a bed and breakfast, etc.


What about running a game for charity?

If you wish to run any Night of Mystery Game to raise money for charity, Night of Mystery will donate the $150 commercial fee provided that you submit your non-profit number at the time of purchase. In addition, all advertising for the event must clearly state that the game is from our company; must include our website address (www.nightofmystery.com); and must state clearly that the game belongs to Night of Mystery, Inc.


May I change the game?

You may not alter, reuse or otherwise exploit or jeopardize the artistic integrity of the material contained in the games. Doing so constitutes a violation of your License and is cause for its revocation.


What if somebody gets hurt?

By purchasing a License, you agree to take sole responsibility for how the game is played and the conduct of the game. Night of Mystery, Inc. accepts no liability for any harm or injury that results from your use of a game.
