TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Terms & Conditions

This Designer’s Submission, Sponsorship Agreement, and Participant Agreement (“Agreement”) governs the terms and conditions between you (“Designer” or "Sponsor" or Participant “you”) and OC Fashion Week®  , a California LLC (“OCFW” "BEHIND THE SEAMS, BRAND THE BAND, " and/or "Producer") regarding your participation as a Designer, Sponsor or Participant (aka Passenger and/or Traveler) on ocfashionweek.com and its associated mobile applications (collectively referred to as the “Platform”).

By clicking the “I Agree to OC Fashion Week®  's Terms of Service” box, by initiating any transaction, or by using any part of the Platform or accepting any of its services and/or accepting any event tickets you agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.

Click wrap agreements are enforceable as both traditional wet ink signatures and electronic signatures in the U.S. 

Electronic Signatures Act (ESIGN)

The federal Electronic Signatures in Global and National Commerce Act (ESIGN) was enacted on June 30, 2000. The law was intended to facilitate the use of electronic signatures and other electronic records as they pertained to interstate and foreign business transitions. ESIGN laid out several requirements, or standards, used to determine the validity and legal enforceability of electronic agreements in these circumstances. 

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA)

The Uniform Electronic Transactions Act (UETA) was adopted by the National Conference on Uniform State Laws in 1999 and has since been adopted by 47 states. UETA predates ESIGN, but both lay out requirements for electronic signatures and electronic records to be afforded the same treatment as that of their paper counterparts – UETA at the state level, and ESIGN at the federal level.

Clicking a button or checking a box in order to indicate your assent fulfills the requirement that “intent to sign” is demonstrated by the signer.

In other words: since the signer has to actively click a button that clearly informs them they are agreeing to a contract, they are showing they intended to sign.

Clickwrap is an accepted form of electronic signature: a binding, legally recognized form of contracting. In fact, UETA commentary expressly states that the definition of an electronic signature includes “the standard webpage click through process.”

Both of these Acts lay out specific guidelines for electronic compliance.

YOU AGREE TO THE MANDATORY INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION  TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTES WITH the Company, Except for those Matters that may be taken to small-claims court.

You warrant and agree that, while using Our Services, You will not do any of the following:

    • impersonate any other person or entity
    • submit any information pertaining to a third party without that party’s understanding and express consent
    • submit false or misleading information
    • exploit Our Services for any commercial reason, including predatory litigation
    • engage in any activity prohibited under the CAN-SPAM Act
    • engage in any criminal or otherwise unlawful behavior
    • commit any action which could give rise to civil liability
    • restrict others from making use of Our Services
    • upload or attempt to upload any computer virus, malicious computer code, file program, or any other digital property
    • commit any action that interferes with, blocks, or otherwise harms Our Services
    • Misrepresent any of our brand 
    • Misrepresent any of our services or compromise of any of our services, with any sponsor and/or  designer 
    • Fail to insure equipment is in working order prior to the event
    • Sexually explicit or pornographic content;
    • Profanity; 
  • Federal law prohibits obscene, indecent and profane content from being broadcast on the radio or TV.  That may seem clear enough, but determining what obscene, indecent and profane mean can be difficult, depending on who you talk to.

    In the Supreme Court's 1964 landmark case on obscenity and pornography, Justice Potter Stewart famously wrote: "I know it when I see it."  That case still influences FCC rules today, and complaints from the public about broadcasting objectionable content drive the enforcement of those rules.

    In other words, if you "know it when you see it" and find it objectionable, you can tell the FCC and ask us to check into it.

    Deciding what's obscene, indecent or profane

    Each type of content has a distinct definition:

    Obscene content does not have protection by the First Amendment.  For content to be ruled obscene, it must meet a three-pronged test established by the Supreme Court: It must appeal to an average person's prurient interest; depict or describe sexual conduct in a "patently offensive" way; and, taken as a whole, lack serious literary, artistic, political or scientific value.

    Indecent content portrays sexual or excretory organs or activities in a way that is patently offensive but does not meet the three-prong test for obscenity.

    Profane content includes "grossly offensive" language that is considered a public nuisance.

    Factors in determining how FCC rules apply include the specific nature of the content, the time of day it was broadcast and the context in which the broadcast took place.

    Broadcasting obscene content is prohibited by law at all times of the day. Indecent and profane content are prohibited on broadcast TV and radio between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m., when there is a reasonable risk that children may be in the audience.

  • derogatory, discriminatory or hateful comments or incitements against specific individuals or groups based on race, national or ethnic origin, color, religion, age, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, marital status, family status, genetic characteristics, disability or conviction for an offense for which a pardon has been granted or in respect of which a record suspension has been ordered;
  • incitements to violence or other dangerous activities;
  • terrorism or other criminal activities;
  • insensitive or offensive comments related to natural disasters, atrocities, health crisis, deaths, conflicts or other tragic events;
  • harassment, bullying, or threats;
  • dangerous products, illicit drugs, or inappropriate use or sale of tobacco and/or alcohol or use of marijuana  and any and all forms of marijuana where prohibited;
  • spam;
  • false or misleading information or claims pertaining to products made available for purchase on the Services;
  • transactions in cryptocurrencies;
  • false medical-related claims or contents;
  • content that infringes intellectual property rights;
  • content that you are not authorized to, or don’t have a legal right to, share, post, or otherwise display; or

  • Definition of ambush marketing : marketing and/or false advertising or communications is when  a company attempts to advertise and/or promote its products by associating them with a public event without paying the fees that an exclusive sponsor would pay for or when an exclusive sponsor fails to comply with it’s sponsorship to intentionally cause a breach of contract or to purposely cause a fraudulent interruption to the process of an event executing the sponsorship benefits to imply a false breach of contract by not interfering or halting  the distribution of its products and/or services, social media access, and/or communications as deterrent for the fulfillment party (OC Fashion Week®  )  to complete fulfillment of  OC Fashion Week®  ’s contractual services.
  • Fraudulent Transactions Without limiting any other remedies, OC Fashion Week®   may suspend or terminate your sponsorship or designer registration if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the use of the Sponsorship and/or Designer Services.

34. DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

(a)  General.  Please read this dispute resolution section carefully.  It is part of your contract with OC Fashion Week®   and affects your rights. It contains procedures for MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER (“Arbitration Agreement”). All claims and disputes (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief as set forth below) in connection with the Terms or the use of any product or service provided by OC Fashion Week®   that cannot be resolved informally or in The small claims court of Orange County, California shall be resolved by binding arbitration on an individual and/or company.

(b)  Notice Requirement and Informal Dispute Resolution.  Before either party may seek arbitration, the party must first send to the other party a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) describing the nature and basis of the claim or dispute, and the requested relief.  A Notice to the OC Fashion Week®   should be sent to: CSC - Lawyers Incorporating Service, 2710 Gateway Oaks Drive, Suite 150N, Sacramento CA 95833.  After the Notice is received, you and OC Fashion Week®   may attempt to resolve the claim or dispute informally. If you and OC Fashion Week®   do not resolve the claim or dispute within thirty (30) days after the Notice is received, either party may begin an arbitration proceeding.  The amount of any settlement offer made by any party may not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator has determined the amount of the award, if any, to which either party is entitled.

(c)  Arbitration Rules.  Arbitration shall be initiated through the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), an established alternative dispute resolution provider (“ADR Provider”) that offers arbitration as set forth in this section.  If AAA is not available to arbitrate, the parties shall agree to select an alternative ADR Provider.  The rules of the ADR Provider shall govern all aspects of the arbitration, including but not limited to the method of initiating and/or demanding arbitration, except to the extent such rules are in conflict with the Terms.  The AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“Arbitration Rules”) governing the arbitration are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.  The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator.  Any claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is less than Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) may be resolved through binding non-appearance-based arbitration, at the option of the party seeking relief.  For claims or disputes where the total amount of the award sought is Ten Thousand U.S. Dollars (US $10,000.00) or more, the right to a hearing will be determined by the Arbitration Rules. Any hearing will be held in a location within 100 miles of the primary office of the OC Fashion Week®  , unless you reside outside of the United States, and unless the parties agree otherwise.  If you reside outside of the U.S., the arbitrator shall give the parties reasonable notice of the date, time and place of any oral hearings. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. If the arbitrator grants you an award that is greater than the last settlement offer that OC Fashion Week®   made to you prior to the initiation of arbitration, OC Fashion Week®   will pay you the greater of the award or $2,500.00.  Each party shall bear its own costs (including attorney’s fees) and disbursements arising out of the arbitration and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the ADR Provider.

(d)  Additional Rules for Non-Appearance Based Arbitration.  If non-appearance based arbitration is elected, the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or based solely on written submissions; the specific manner shall be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration.  The arbitration shall not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise agreed by the parties.

(e)  Time Limits.  If you or OC Fashion Week®   pursue arbitration, the arbitration action must be initiated and/or demanded within the statute of limitations (i.e., the legal deadline for filing a claim) and within any deadline imposed under the AAA Rules for the pertinent claim.

(f)  Authority of Arbitrator.  If arbitration is initiated, the arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and OC Fashion Week®  , and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties.  The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages, and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the AAA Rules, and the Terms.  The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have.  The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and OC Fashion Week®  .

(g)  Waiver of Jury Trial.  THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration under this Arbitration Agreement.  Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in a court and are subject to very limited review by a court.
