Certified Angus Beef LLC Steakholder Rewards™Program
Certified Angus Beef LLC Steakholder Rewards™ Program
Please read this agreement carefully. It sets forth the legally binding terms and
conditions for your participation in the Certified Angus Beef LLC Steakholder Rewards™ program.
Introduction
Certified Angus Beef LLC (“Certified Angus Beef”) offers rewards (this “Program”),
which is a rewards platform where eligible persons have an opportunity to accumulate
Points (defined below) by participating in offered activities, subject to the terms and
conditions set forth in these terms of service (“Terms of Service”). As used in these
Terms, the words “we,” “us,” and “our” shall all be deemed to refer to Certified Angus Beef.
This Program is operated and administered on behalf of us by a service provider, Zinrelo. By accessing or participating in the Program, you accept and agree to be legally
bound by these Terms of Service, whether or not you sign-up as a Member (defined
below) of the Program. If you wish to become a Member and participate in the Program,
please read these Terms of Service and indicate your acceptance by following the instructions in the Program sign-up process.
Each time you access and/or use the Program, you agree to be bound by and comply
with these Terms of Service and any Additional Terms (defined below). If you do not
agree to these Terms of Service, please do not participate in the Program. Modification
to the Terms of Service may occur from time to time without notice. Members should
check the most recent Terms of Service for the Program for updates and changes. A
Member’s continued participation in the Program after the Terms of Service have been
updated shall constitute your acceptance of the changes to the Terms of Service. The
business realities associated with operating the Program are such that, without the
limitations that are set forth in these Terms of Service – such as your grants and
waivers of rights, the limitations on our liability, your indemnity of us, and our arbitration
of certain disputes – we would not make the Program available to you.
In some instances, both these Terms of Service and separate guidelines or rules setting
forth additional or different terms and/or conditions will apply to your use of the Program
(in each such instance, and collectively, “Additional Terms”). For example, in addition to
these Terms of Service, any contest, sweepstakes or other promotion we may offer as
part of the Program or to Program members, is and will also be subject to separate
official rules (“Official Rules”) which will be posted in the Program during the applicable
promotion period and which will govern Members’ participation, and our execution, of
each such promotion. To the extent there is a conflict between these Terms of Service
and any Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless the Additional Terms
expressly state otherwise. Any information Members provide to us in connection with
this Program or any contest, sweepstakes or other promotion or offer operated in connection with this Program is subject to our privacy policy located at https://www.certifiedangusbeef.com/legal.php (“Privacy Policy”).

1. Eligibility. Enrollment in the Program is free. To participate in the Program, you must
be at the time of Program enrollment: (i) at least eighteen (18) years of age; and (ii) a
legal resident and physically located in the United States of America, Canada (excluding
Quebec), Puerto Rico, Ecuador, United States Virgin Islands, Republic of Palau and
British Virgin Islands (“Locations”). In order to access and use the Program, Members
must have a Device (defined below) that is capable of accessing the Internet. If
accessing the Program from a mobile device, you may need to disable private browsing
on your mobile browser. We also recommend that you turn off all ad-blockers when
using the Program. Corporations or other entities or organizations of any kind are not
eligible to participate in the Program. This Program is not available where prohibited by
federal, state, provincial, or local law or regulation.
2. Program Sign-Up. To become a Member, eligible individuals must sign-up for this
Program by creating a membership account (“Member Account”). You must accept
these Terms of Service, and provide additional contact information during the Program
enrollment. Individuals who sign-up for the Program and receive a Member Account are
referred to in these Terms of Service as, “Members.” Participation in the Program
constitutes Member’s full and unconditional agreement to these Terms of Service.
In connection with your Member Account, you agree that: (i) You will provide true,
accurate, current, and complete information about yourself in connection with the signup process and, as permitted, to maintain and update it continuously and promptly to
keep it accurate, current, and complete; (ii) You are solely responsible for all activities
that occur under your Member Account – whether or not you authorized the activity; (iii)
You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your Member Account
password and for restricting access to your Device so that others may not access your
Member Account using your name, username, or password; (iv) You will immediately
notify us of any unauthorized use of your Member Account, password, or username, or
any other breach of security by calling us at the following phone number: (330) 345-
2333 or emailing us at rewards@certifiedangusbeef.com; and (v) You will not sell,
transfer, or assign your Member Account. We will not be liable for any loss or damage
(of any kind and under any legal theory) to you or any third party arising from your
inability or failure for any reason to comply with any of the foregoing obligations. If any
information that you provide, or if we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any
information that you provide, is false, inaccurate, outdated, incomplete, or violates these
Terms of Service, or any applicable law, then we may suspend or terminate your
participation in the Program, immediately. We also reserve the more general and broad
right to terminate your Member Account or suspend or otherwise deny you access to it
or its benefits – all in our sole discretion, for any reason, and without advance notice or
liability.
3. Earning Points. The Program offers Members the ability to accumulate and redeem
rewards points (“Points”), on an individual basis and solely for Member’s own Member
Account. In order to earn points, Members must be logged-in to their Member Account.
Points cannot be purchased. The Program is structured to offer certain benefits based
on the Member’s current balance of “redeemable” Points (that is, Points that have not
previously been redeemed) or “lifetime” Points (that is, all prior Points accumulated by
Member, whether previously redeemed or not). From time to time, we may establish, at
our sole discretion, activities pursuant to which Members may “earn” Points (“Qualifying
Activities”). Examples of “Qualifying Activities” include, but are not limited to, becoming
a Member, writing a product review, visiting or watching a video, or engaging in certain
specified activities related to social networks. Qualifying Activities may be added,
discontinued or be made available again, at any time, and from time to time. Points will
expire (and become non-redeemable) immediately upon the earlier of: (i) 365
consecutive days of inactivity on your Member Account or (ii) termination of the
Program, as provided herein. Please note that we reserve the right to institute additional
expiration dates for Points, as determined in our sole discretion. To protect the integrity
of the Program and its Members, we have established max limits on the amount of
Points a member may earn, as follows: 5,000 points during any week period. Any points
earned in excess of these maximum levels during such periods will not be counted.
Actions (even if they are considered Qualifying Activities) taken prior to Program sign-up
are not eligible to earn Points, except to the extent expressly indicated, if any. Members
shall not submit points or requests for points when such points were earned as a result
of actions taken (e.g., purchases) by other members or non-members, unless such
individuals reside in the same household as the Member submitting the points request.
Points can be tracked in your Member Account. Points are always subject to verification
and eligibility determined by us, in our sole and absolute discretion.
Commented [MS1]: Figure out Zinrelo system
We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, at any time during the duration of this
Program, all as set forth in these Terms of Service, to: (i) change the number of Points
awarded, or to award no Points, for any particular Qualifying Activity, (ii) offer additional
or new Qualifying Activities for a limited time or permanently, (iii) delete any or all
means to earn Points, (iv) limit the number of times or frequency a Member may earn
Points for engaging in a Qualifying Activity or engaging in the activity during a specific
time period, and (v) offer Points earning opportunities to select groups of Members.
Also, we may offer Points for engaging in a Qualifying Activity under one set of rules for
one promotion, and may opt not to offer Points for engaging in that same activity under
a subsequent promotion. Once a Qualifying Activity has been successfully completed
and verified, the corresponding number of Points will appear in your Member Account.
Points will be awarded within 48 hours for most activities, while others will take up to 30
days based on data processing. For some Qualifying Activities, if you reverse your
performance of such activity, the Points awarded to you for such activity may be
removed from your redeemable total.
Each Member will be responsible for ensuring the accuracy of his/her Program Point
totals. If a Member believes his/her Program Point total is not accurate, or that Points
earned were not credited, please call us at the following phone number: (330) 345-2333
or email us at rewards@certifiedangusbeef.com within 7 days of the end of the
applicable activity. Points subsequently determined, in our sole discretion, to be invalid,
will be removed from a Member’s Point accumulation total.
Any Points you earn by completing a Qualifying Activity are considered a limited, nonexclusive, revocable, non-assignable, personal, and non-transferable right solely for use
towards the earning of rewards. Accordingly, you have no property, proprietary,
intellectual property, ownership, or monetary interest in your Points, which remain our
property at all times. Points have no “real world” value and are not redeemable for cash,
transferable or assignable for any reason or otherwise by operation of law. Points have
no purpose or use except in exchange for rewards (if any) offered via the Program.
Accordingly, you may not purchase, sell, barter, or trade any Points, or offer to
purchase, sell, trade or otherwise dispose of any Points or other virtual Rewards (as
defined below). The only way to use Points is to redeem them for Program rewards. Any
attempt to combine or transfer Points will result in disqualification from the Program and
forfeiture of all Points in the Member Account. Points will not be valid unless earned in
strict compliance with the requirements as established and intended by us, and a
Member shall not attempt to earn Points by any means (including, without limitation, by
using any script, bot or other automated means) that only simulates compliance with the
applicable requirements. We reserve the right to take any other or additional action we
deem appropriate in the event that we believe, in our sole discretion, that a Member (or
Members) has violated these Terms. You agree to abide by our final and binding
decisions regarding the Program and your participation in it.
4. Member-Required Disclosures and Representations and Warranties. In connection
with certain Qualifying Activities, from time to time, Members will have access to
Content (defined below) that is made available through the Program. Member’s will also
have the opportunity to create their own content, including building, posting, uploading,
displaying, publishing, distributing, transmitting, broadcasting or otherwise making
available or submitting through the Program messages, texts, illustrations, files, images,
photos, comments, sounds, music videos, information, ratings, reviews, data, questions,
suggestions and other information and the ideas contained within (“User Content”).
Each Member who submits or shares Content or User Content on third party social
sharing sites, such as Facebook.com, Twitter.com or Instagram.com (the “Approved
Sites”), in connection with this Program is required by these Terms and by law to
disclose anything of value that is received by the Member from us as compensation for
the Member’s sharing of such content.
You acknowledge and agree that if any such disclosures are included by us within any
messaging that you share from the Program, you will not edit, alter or otherwise remove
these disclosures from the message. You acknowledge that any failure to abide by the
requirements set forth in the previous sentence may result in the termination of your
Member Account and forfeiture of all your Points. You may not share Content or
otherwise disclose your participation in the Program on your own without disclosing
anything of value that you received from us as encouragement for your sharing of such
Content. Members agree and represent and warrant to the following statements:
1. I will not post any information or content or conduct any activity that may violate,
or which encourages the violation of, applicable local, state or federal laws or
regulations and will promptly remove any such content upon request by us.
2. I will not post any information or content that may infringe any intellectual
property or other right of any third party and will promptly remove any such third
party content upon request by us.
3. I have read and will fully comply with the Federal Trade Commission’s (“FTC’s”)
Endorsement and Testimonial Guides
(“Guides”) (https://www.ftc.gov/sites/default/files/documents/onestops/advertisement-endorsements/091005revisedendorsementguides.pdf) when
talking or writing about us.
Further, and without limitation, I:
1. Will clearly and conspicuously disclose that I have received compensation
and product and/or other incentive Rewards from Certified Angus Beef (as
applicable) proximate to any mention by me of Certified Angus Beef;
2. Will not make any false, misleading or deceptive statement about Certified
Angus Beef’s products or services;
3. Will ensure that all my statements accurately reflect only my honest,
current opinions and beliefs based on my personal experience;
4. Will not purport to speak on behalf of Certified Angus Beef; and
5. Will maintain my social media activities related to this Program in a
manner appropriate for a family audience and will not be rude or abusive.

membership agreements, privacy policies, and other similar applicable

5. Rewards.
1. Rewards Generally. Points can be used to acquire Program rewards such as
merchandise, offers and other items of value (“Rewards”) from the Rewards
section of the Program. From time to time, we may offer Rewards for all
Members who have achieved certain Point thresholds or engaged in certain
Qualifying Activities. The Rewards section of the Program will list the
corresponding Point value required to redeem each Reward. Members must
comply with individual Reward restrictions where indicated on the Rewards
section of the Program. We may periodically modify the list of merchandise and
other Rewards available for Point redemption as well as the Points needed to
receive a Reward throughout the Program Period (defined below). All
redemptions are subject to these Terms of Service and all limitations or
requirements on the Program. Qualifying Activities are likely to be available on a
time-limited basis and, when they expire, may no longer be available.
2. Redemption of Points. To spend/redeem your Points, navigate through the
Rewards section of the Program. You can choose any Reward still available for
which you have accumulated sufficient Points for redemption. Click the image
corresponding to the Reward you wish to redeem and follow the links and
instructions to complete the redemption process. As part of the redemption
process, you will receive a confirmation email. Emails will be sent to the email
address associated with the Member Account. The total number of Points a
Member can use to redeem a Reward at any given time is the total number of
Points available in their Member Account at the time of redemption. Once a
Member has ordered a Reward, the order is final and the appropriate number of
Points will be deducted immediately from their Member Account.
3. Provide Accurate Information. Each Member is responsible for ensuring the
mailing address, email address, phone number, and any other contact
information associated with his/her Member Account is accurate and up to date.
We are not responsible for non-receipt of a Reward shipped to the mailing
address associated with a Member Account. Changes to Member Accounts, or
the information in them should only be made by the Member to whom such
accounts belong.
4. Points Redemptions are Final. All Points redemptions for Rewards are final.
Points will not be refunded or placed back in a Member’s quantity of redeemable
Points for any reason after an order has been placed and Rewards may not be
cancelled or returned for any reason.
5. Rewards with Limited Availability. Product availability may vary by
location/country. Some Rewards may be available in limited quantities, or for a
limited time. If there is a particular Reward offered that you would like to receive,
we recommend that you redeem your Points for that Reward as soon as possible
(once you have enough Points) because supplies or redemption time may be
limited and the Program may be discontinued at any time in our sole discretion.
Rewards are awarded on a first-come, first-serve and while-supplies-last basis.
We are not responsible for typographical, photographic or other errors/omissions.
We reserve the right to correct such errors/omissions at any time even if it affects
pending Reward redemption. If you redeem your Points for a Reward and we
determine that the Reward is unavailable, out of stock or for whatever reason
cannot be provided to you, we will “refund” the Points that you exchanged for the
Reward. We shall have no other responsibility for the unavailability of Rewards.
6. Forfeiture of Points. Any Points remaining in a Member Account after the
Program End Date (defined below) will be forfeited without compensation. Points
have no cash value and are only redeemable for Rewards offered via the
Program.
7. Points Conversion. From time to time we may make Rewards available that will
allow you to convert your accrued Points into Rewards such as gift cards or
similar items based on a pre-determined conversion ratio set by us. You
understand and agree that we may set the Points conversion ratio for any such
Rewards in our sole and absolute discretion and we may change such
conversion ratio at any time throughout the Program Period. The conversion ratio
for Points into Rewards may vary among retailers or Rewards providers and all
details regarding the specific conversion ratio applicable to a Reward. We also
reserve the right to charge you an administrative fee such as a processing or
handling fee when converting your Points to a form of gift card (or similar Reward
item) and you agree to pay any such amounts if requested by us at the time of
Points redemption.
8. Rewards Sweepstakes. From time to time, as part of the Program activities, we
may elect to conduct sweepstakes, some of which may be open for entry only to
Members and others of which may be open to the general public (each a
“Sweepstakes”). All Sweepstakes are subject to all rules, terms and conditions of
the Sweepstakes, and described in the Official Rules that accompanies the
Sweepstakes. Methods of entry into the various Sweepstakes will be detailed in
the Official Rules.
9. Release and Taxes. Members agree to sign an affidavit, release of liability,
publicity release or similar agreement if requested by us prior to receiving your
Reward. Members are solely responsible for all applicable taxes, including
income tax liability, associated with any Reward acquired under the Program and
we disclaim all rights and obligations related to the receipt of such Reward(s).
For residents of the United States, we will issue an IRS Form 1099 to Members
obtaining any Reward(s) with a combined total value equal to $600 or more in
any single calendar year. Members obtaining any Reward(s) with a combined
total value equal to $600 or more in any single calendar year will be required to
provide his/her Social Security Number within the timeframe specified for tax
reporting purposes prior to the shipment of the Reward(s). An IRS Form 1099-
MISC will be issued to him/her for the total value of all Rewards awarded for the
tax year in which the Reward(s) are awarded. Similarly, for Canada residents, we
may ask you to compete Canadian Form T4A for Rewards exceeding $500 in
total value in any single calendar year.
10.Other Terms Applicable to Rewards. Rewards, other than those which are digital
in nature (which include any products or services that a Member can redeem
Points for) are provided "as is" with no warranty or guarantee, either express or
implied by us. Products made available as Rewards may be refurbished
products. Some Rewards may have age eligibility requirements. We reserve the
right to verify your eligibility qualifications prior to fulfilling a Reward.
11.Delivery of Rewards. Some Rewards available through the Program may be
fulfilled electronically, such as by digital gift card. Rewards which are electronic
or digital in nature will be sent to the email address that you provided when you
created, or last updated, your Member Account. Tangible Rewards will be mailed
to your U.S. postal address that you provided when you created, or last updated,
your Member Account. Some Rewards may be fulfilled by third-party partners
and may not be available in some areas. No Rewards will be shipped to P.O.
Boxes, APO (Army Post Office) or FPO (Fleet Post Office) addresses, or
destinations outside the Locations. Generally, Rewards shipped via postal mail
will be shipped within one (1) week from the date your order is processed, unless
the Program states a different schedule or the particular Reward you ordered is
limited in quantity, backordered, or out of stock. We are not liable for any
damages to, losses of or delays in any shipments. Rewards that are
undeliverable for whatever reason (including because your Program information
is incorrect) will not be re-sent and are forfeited, and the Points will not be
refunded. The method used to transmit Rewards to Members will be chosen by
us and will not be subject to variance at Member’s request.
6. Timing and Termination. The "Program Period" will begin June 27, 2025 and will
continue until such time as we, in our sole discretion, choose to end the Program (the
"Program End Date"). We make no guarantee or representation as to the length of time
during which the Program will be offered. We reserve the right to cancel, modify,
restrict, suspend or terminate this Program or any aspect or feature of the Program,
including Points, and/or extend or shorten the current Program Period at any time
without notice. Members should check the most recent Terms of Service. A Member’s
continued participation in the Program after these Terms of Service have been updated
will constitute acceptance of the changes. After the Program End Date, Members will no
longer be permitted to earn or redeem Points, all Points will expire and the Program will
no longer be available, and no further liability will be owed by us to any Member.
These Terms of Service will remain in full force and effect while you use the Program
and/or are a Member. We may suspend or terminate your membership for any reason,
at any time. If we suspend or terminate you because you have breached these Terms of
Service, you may either be terminated from the Program or otherwise be restricted by
us from redeeming Points or earning more Points until such time (if ever) when we
reinstate your membership (at our discretion). In the event that you are terminated as a
Member, we may elect to immediately void all of your accumulated Points and, in such
instance, you shall not be entitled to redeem Points for any Rewards. Even after your
participation is terminated, these Terms of Service will remain in effect. We reserve the
right, at our sole discretion, to pursue all of our legal remedies, including, but not limited
to, deletion of your Member Account, and everything contained within it, from the
Program upon any breach by you of these Terms. If you wish to discontinue your
participation in this Program at any time, please contact us at (330) 345-2333 or email
us at rewards@certifiedangusbeef.com.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential
damages of the sort that are described above, so the above limitation or exclusion may
not apply to you.
IF ANY PROGRAM PARTY IMPROPERLY DENIES AN ACCRUAL OF POINTS OR A
REWARD, LIABILITY WILL NOT EXCEED THE EQUIVALENT VALUE, AS
DETERMINED BY US, OF THAT ACCRUAL OF POINTS OR REWARD. For purposes
of clarity, the prior sentence does not expand or limit any express, written product
warranty that is provided by us or a manufacturer of a physical product.
11. Our Rights. We reserve the right to modify, suspend, cancel or discontinue the
Program, in whole or in part, for any reason, at our sole discretion, with or without notice
to Members. We may, among other things, withdraw, limit, modify, suspend or cancel
any Reward and/or modify or regulate the Points or benefits you may have accrued.
Each Member agrees that we will not be liable to the Member or any third party for any
modification or discontinuance of the Program. We reserve the right to interpret and
apply the policies and procedures communicated in these Terms of Service. All
determinations by us, including determinations of eligibility, and proper authorization of
Points and Rewards redemptions, shall be final and conclusive in each case. We
reserve the right to terminate any Member’s participation in the Program, to deny any
Reward and/or terminate service if, in our sole judgment, such Member has in any way
violated these Terms of Service.
12. Fraud. Fraud or abuse relating to the registration process, providing of personal
information, or redemption of Rewards is a violation of these Terms of Service.
Members are solely responsible for any fraudulent use that may occur due to the theft of
or sharing of a Member’s password. Members agree to immediately notify us of any
unauthorized use of their Member Account or any other breach of security known to
them. The Program is a service provided to an individual Member, not a company or
other entity, and a company or other entity may not direct, encourage or allow
individuals to participate for anything other than individual use. We reserve the right to
terminate or suspend a Member’s participation in the Program and/or void a Member’s
Points if any Member engages in fraudulent activity or otherwise uses this Program for a
purpose other than in accordance with these Terms of Service and applicable law.
Any attempt by any Member or other individual or entity to damage any web site or
undermine the legitimate operation of the Program is a violation of these Terms of
Service. We reserve the right to investigate any suspicious activity and to seek
damages from any such person to the fullest extent permitted by law.
13. Dispute Resolution. Any claim or dispute between the parties or any claim, dispute,
or controversy involving Member and any other party arising from or relating to these
Terms of Service or the Program, including, without limitation, the arbitration of any
claim or dispute and the validity and enforceability of this mandatory arbitration
provision or these Terms of Service, shall be resolved by BINDING ARBITRATION. Any
arbitration proceeding will take place in Cuyahoga County, Ohio. A single arbitrator shall
conduct arbitration, under the Federal Rules of Evidence and the American Arbitration
Association (“AAA”) Consumer Arbitration Rules in effect at the time the claim is filed.
To obtain rules and form, contact the AAA at
800.778.7879, www.adr.org/consumer (website), or websitemail@adr.org(E-Mail). If
AAA cannot or will not administer the arbitration, Member agrees to submit the claim to
JAMS for proceedings conducted under JAMS’ Comprehensive Arbitration Rules. If
both designated arbitration forums cannot or will not administer the arbitration, it
remains our and Member’s intent to arbitrate and to have appointed an arbitrator
pursuant to 9 USC § 5. Member agrees not to participate in a representative capacity or
as a member of any class of claimants pertaining to any claims or disputes covered by
this mandatory arbitration provision. No arbitrator shall be allowed to conduct arbitration
on a class-wide basis, and the arbitrator shall not be allowed to consolidate arbitration
demands filed by our other customers. If any other term is unenforceable in this
mandatory arbitration provision, the remaining terms are severable and enforceable to
the fullest extent permitted by law. This mandatory arbitration provision shall be
governed by the Federal Arbitration Act. By participating in the Program, Member
agrees to the terms of this mandatory arbitration provision. MEMBER UNDERSTANDS
THAT MEMBER IS VOLUNTARILY WAIVING MEMBER’S RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL,
JUDGE TRIAL, OR RIGHT TO ASSERT ANY CLAIMS AGAINST US AS A
REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER IN ANY CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION
FOR CLAIMS OR DISPUTES arising from or relating to these Terms of Service or the
Program, EXCEPT WHERE SUCH WAIVER IS PROHIBITED BY LAW. These Terms of
Service and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance
with, and dispute will be resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State of Ohio,
without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT
PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE
AGAINST US, THEN YOU MUST COMMENCE IT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE
DISPUTE ARISES – OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.
14. Waiver of Injunctive or Other Equitable Relief. IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE
INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR
PARTICIPATION IN THE PROGRAM, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND
INJURIES WILL NOT BE IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN
INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS
THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT
SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR
OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT
OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITES, APPLICATION, CONTENT, USER
CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED,
LICENSED, USED OR CONTROLLED BY US (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED USER
CONTENT) OR A LICENSOR OF OURS.
