Privacy and License Grant
Member acknowledges that all discussion for ratings, comments, bulletin board service, chat rooms and/or other message or communication facilities are public and not private communications, and that, therefore, others may read Member’s communications without Member’s knowledge or Members’ participation in any Community, including any objectionable content. Generally, any communication which Member posts to Beast.com (whether in chat rooms, discussion groups, message boards or otherwise) is considered to be non-confidential. If particular web pages permit the submission of communications that will be treated by Beast as confidential, that fact will be stated on those pages.

Indemnity Release
Member agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Beast.com, its affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents from and against all claims and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, arising out of or related to any products or services purchased by Member in connection with the Site or any Merchant Sites.
Member is solely responsible for interactions with Merchants and other users of the Site or Merchant Sites. To the extent permitted under applicable laws, Member hereby releases Beast.com from any and all claims or liability related to any product or service of a Merchant, any action or in-action by Merchant, including Merchant’s failure to comply with applicable law, and any conduct or speech, whether online or offline, of any other user.
In connection with the foregoing release, Member hereby waives California Civil Code Section 1542 (and any similar provision in any other jurisdiction) which states: “A general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which, if known by him must have materially affected his settlement with the debtor.”
Third Party Content
In many instances, the content available through this Site represents the opinions and judgments of the respective information provider, Member, or other user not under contract with Beast.com. Beast.com neither endorses nor is responsible for the accuracy or reliability of any opinion, advice, or statement made on Beast.com by anyone other than authorized Beast.com employee spokespersons while acting in official capacities. Under no circumstances will Beast.com be liable for any loss or damage caused by a Member’s reliance on information obtained through Beast.com. It is the responsibility of Member to evaluate the accuracy, completeness, or usefulness of any information, opinion, advice, etc., or other content available through Beast.com.
Beast.com contains links to third-party websites maintained by other content providers. These links are provided solely as a convenience to you and not as an endorsement by Beast.com of the contents on such third-party sites, and Beast hereby expressly disclaims any representations regarding the content or accuracy of materials on such third-party websites. If Member decides to access linked third-party websites, Member does so at its own risk. Unless you have executed a written agreement with Beast.com expressly permitting you to do so, you may not provide a hyperlink to the Site or any Merchant Site from any other website. Beast.com reserves the right to revoke its consent to any link at any time in its sole discretion.
Governing Law
These Terms of use and all matters arising out of or otherwise relating to these Terms and Conditions shall be governed by the laws of the State of New Jersey, excluding its conflict of law provisions.
Arbitration
By using this Site, Member agrees that: (1) any claim, dispute, or controversy Member may have against Beast.com arising out of, relating to, or connected in any way with this Agreement, this Site, or any Merchant Site, shall be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted before a single arbitrator pursuant to the applicable Rules and Procedures established by AAA (“Rules and Procedures”); (2) the arbitration shall be held at a location determined by AAA pursuant to the Rules and Procedures (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for Member), or at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by Member and Beast.com; (3) the arbitrator shall apply New Jersey law consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, and shall honor claims of privilege recognized at law; (4) there shall be no authority for any claims to be arbitrated on a class or representative basis; arbitration can decide only the Member’s and/or Beast’s individual claims; and the arbitrator may not consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated; (5) in the event that the Member is able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Beast.com will pay as much of the Member’s filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive; and (6) with the exception of subpart (4) above, if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures established by AAA, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting provision were not contained herein. If, however, subpart (4) is found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then the entirety of this Arbitration Provision shall be null and void, and neither Member nor Beast shall be entitled to arbitrate their dispute. For more information on AAA and its Rules and Procedures, Members may visit the AAA website at http://www.adr.org.
Term and Termination
These Terms will take effect at the time you either click “I ACCEPT” or any similar syntax, register, respond to a request for information, and/or begin downloading, accessing, or using this Site, whichever is earliest. Beast.com reserves the right at any time and for any reason to deny you access to this Site or to any portion thereof in order to protect its name and goodwill, its business, and/or other Users, and the Terms will also terminate automatically if you fail to comply with its terms and conditions, subject to the survival rights of certain provisions identified below. Termination will be effective without notice. You may also terminate your Beast membership any time by ceasing to use the Site and by contacting Beast to terminate your account, but all applicable provisions of these Terms will survive termination, as identified below. Upon termination, you must destroy all copies of any aspect of this Site in your possession. The provisions concerning Beast’s proprietary rights, feedback, indemnity, disclaimers of warranty and liability, admissibility of these Terms, and governing law will survive termination for any reason.
Waiver and Severability
Failure to insist on strict performance of any part of these Terms will not operate as a waiver of any subsequent default or failure of performance. No waiver by Beast of any right under these Terms will be deemed to be either a waiver of any other right or provision or a waiver of that same right or provision at any other time. If any part of these Terms is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law then the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most clearly matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder shall continue in effect.
Successors and Assigns
We may perform any of our obligations or exercise any of our rights under these Terms through one or more of our corporate affiliates (including any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with us). If Beast or its assets are acquired by another entity, that entity will assume Beast’s rights and obligations as described in these Terms. You may not assign your rights or obligations hereunder by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent.
Entire Agreement
No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and Beast.com as result of these Terms or your utilization of the Site. The Terms, Beast’s Privacy Policy, and any other agreement or terms or conditions for services, subscriptions, or licenses for products or services available through the Site, which are all hereby incorporated by reference as if set forth fully herein, represent the entire agreement between you and Beast.com with respect to use of the Site, and they supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral, or written between you and Beast.com with respect to this Site.
