1.2 Acceptance. By accessing, browsing, registering for, or using the Site or any Kizoku™ Offerings you accept and agree to be bound by the Agreement in effect at the time of use. Your use of certain Services (including but not limited to subscription plans, promotions, paid content, or expert services) may be subject to additional terms and conditions or policies which are incorporated herein by reference and which you must accept to use those Services.

1.3 Changes to Agreement. Kizoku™ may, in its sole discretion, modify, update or amend the Agreement at any time and will post the revised Agreement on the Site with an updated effective date. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, your continued use of the Site or Services after the posting of changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Agreement. With respect to disputes that arose prior to an amendment to any DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROVISIONS, the Dispute Resolution Provisions in effect when the dispute arose shall govern that dispute.

2. ELIGIBILITY; REGISTRATION; ACCOUNTS

2.1 Eligibility. The Site, Services and Kizoku™ Offerings are only available to individuals who can form legally binding contracts under applicable law. Minors under the age of majority in their jurisdiction may use the Site only with the express consent of a parent or legal guardian who agrees to be bound by these Terms on the minor’s behalf.

2.2 Registration. To access or subscribe to certain portions of the Site or Services, you must register, provide true, accurate, current and complete registration information (“Registration Data”) and maintain and promptly update that information. Registration Data may include full name, e‑mail address, billing address, telephone number, payment information, date of birth, and social media login information. You represent and warrant that all Registration Data you provide is accurate and that you will keep it up to date.

2.3 Account Security. You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activity connected with your account. You shall immediately notify Kizoku™ if you suspect any unauthorized use of your account or breach of security. Kizoku™ is not responsible for any losses arising from unauthorized use of your account if you fail to notify Kizoku™ in a timely manner.

2.4 Right to Refuse. Kizoku™ reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to refuse registration, to refuse to provide Services, to modify, suspend, or terminate Member accounts, or to delete or remove any Content or Member Content for any reason and without prior notice.

3. SUBSCRIPTION PLANS, FEES, TRIALS, PROMOTIONS, PAYMENT, AND RENEWAL

3.1 Subscription Plans. Kizoku™ offers multiple subscription plans and pricing structures (weekly, monthly, annual, or custom), including free content, subscription-based content, and pay-per-view services. Kizoku™ may change, add, or remove subscription plans, features, benefits, and pricing at any time in its sole discretion.

3.2 Fees and Taxes. All fees, charges and payments (collectively, “Subscription Fees”) required to access subscription services are the responsibility of the Member and shall be payable in accordance with the billing terms displayed at the time of purchase. Subscription Fees do not include applicable taxes, which you must pay.

3.3 Payment Authorization. By providing a payment method, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to use that payment method. You authorize Kizoku™ and its payment processors to charge the payment method for Subscription Fees, taxes, and any other amounts you owe under the Agreement. You agree to keep payment information current and to notify Kizoku™ of any change in payment method.

3.4 Billing, Automatic Renewal, and Cancellation. Unless otherwise stated, subscription plans automatically renew at the end of each billing cycle using the payment method on file. To avoid renewal charges you must cancel prior to the renewal date. Cancellation will prevent further automatic billing but will not, except as expressly stated in this Agreement, entitle you to a refund of fees already paid.

3.5 Free Trials and Promotions. Free trials or introductory offers, if any, are offered at Kizoku™’s discretion and may be modified, revoked or terminated at any time. If you do not cancel before the end of a free trial, Kizoku™ may automatically bill you for the applicable Subscription Fee. Promotional discounts, coupons, or codes are subject to specific terms and may be limited by time, geography, or other restrictions.

3.6 Refunds; Annual Memberships. Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Agreement or required by applicable law: (a) Subscription Fees already paid are non‑refundable; (b) Annual membership refunds will be considered only if (i) no Content has been accessed; and (ii) a written refund request is submitted within three (3) business days of the date of registration; (c) approved refunds for annual memberships may be subject to a $700 administrative fee.

3.7 Payment Failures. If payment cannot be charged, Kizoku™ reserves the right to suspend or terminate Member access immediately and without refund. Kizoku™ may attempt to update failed payment information through card networks or banks where permitted by law.

4. DESCRIPTION OF SERVICES AND CONTENT; THIRD‑PARTY CONTENT

4.1 Content. The Site and Services deliver a broad variety of materials and content, including news, articles, audiovisual works, films, recordings, images, graphics, metadata, interactive features, tools, and Member Content (collectively, “Content”).

6. CONFIDENTIALITY; SUBSCRIBER‑ONLY CONTENT

6.1 Confidential Information. Subscriber‑only Content (including unreleased films, previews, scripts, source files, internal briefs, pricing information, marketing plans, technical documents, and communications that Kizoku™ designates as confidential or that reasonably should be understood as confidential given their nature) constitutes Kizoku™’s Confidential Information.

6.2 Non‑Disclosure; Use Restriction.

6.4 Remedies for Breach. You acknowledge that any unauthorized disclosure or misuse of Confidential Information would cause irreparable harm to Kizoku™ for which monetary damages would be inadequate, and Kizoku™ shall be entitled to injunctive, equitable, and other relief without the requirement of posting a bond. In addition to injunctive relief, Kizoku™ may seek all remedies available at law or equity, including statutory damages, actual damages, punitive damages where permitted, disgorgement of profits, seizure and forfeiture of infringing copies or devices, attorneys’ fees, and costs.

7. MEMBER CONTENT; LICENSE TO KIZOKU™

7.1 Member Content. You may be able to submit, upload or post comments, photos, images, audio, video, text or other information or materials (“Member Content”).

(This Section is comprehensive and strictly enforced. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY.)

8.1 Ownership; Reservation of Rights. All Content (as defined) and all Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Site and the Kizoku™ Offerings — including but not limited to copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade dress, trade secrets, patents, moral rights, database rights, software and all other proprietary rights — are owned by, or licensed to, Kizoku™, its affiliates, or third‑party licensors. All rights not expressly granted are reserved.

8.3 Prohibited Uses; Strict Liability. Any unauthorized use of Content, Kizoku™’s trademarks (including the mark Kizoku™), trade dress or service marks is strictly prohibited. Unauthorized acts include, without limitation, public exhibition, streaming to audiences, uploading content to public sites, mirroring, recording, copying, decryption, removal or alteration of watermarks or identifiers, or any other exploitation. You will be strictly liable for such infringements and Kizoku™ may pursue all available remedies.

8.4 Injunctive Relief and Forfeiture. You agree that any breach of this Section 8 may cause Kizoku™ irreparable injury, for which monetary damages would be insufficient. Kizoku™ therefore may seek temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief without bond. Kizoku™ may also seek forfeiture, impoundment or destruction of unauthorized copies and equipment used to produce them.

8.5 Statutory and Enhanced Damages; Attorneys’ Fees. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Kizoku™ shall be entitled to recover statutory damages (including up to $150,000 per work for willful infringement under U.S. Copyright Law or the applicable statutory maximum in relevant jurisdictions), actual damages, profits, punitive damages where permitted, and full attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses. Kizoku™ will seek pre‑ and post‑judgment interest where available.

8.6 Criminal Referrals. Kizoku™ will refer suspected criminal infringement to law enforcement and will cooperate with prosecutions, including disclosure of Member identifying information, IP logs, device identifiers, geolocation, transaction records and other data to the fullest extent permitted by law.

8.7 DMCA and Notice‑and‑Takedown. Kizoku™ respects intellectual property and will respond to notices of claimed infringement consistent with applicable law, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe your copyrighted material has been used in a way that constitutes infringement, please submit a DMCA notice to Kizoku™’s designated agent as set forth on the Site. If you receive a DMCA notification, you may submit a counternotice in accordance with the DMCA.

8.8 Anti‑Circumvention; Technological Protection Measures. Kizoku™ employs DRM, encryption, watermarking, forensic identifiers and other technological measures to protect Content. You shall not circumvent, disable, tamper with, remove or attempt to defeat these protections. Doing so is a material breach and may result in civil and criminal liability.

8.9 Preservation, Forensics, Audits. Kizoku™ may preserve, collect and analyze logs, metadata, network traffic, and other data, and conduct forensic analyses or audits of systems or devices reasonably suspected of being used to infringe or distribute Content unlawfully. You authorize Kizoku™ to obtain records from third parties and to take reasonable steps to preserve evidence.

8.10 Notice to Third Parties. Kizoku™ may provide notice of suspected infringement to third parties including ISPs, payment processors, hosting providers, marketplaces, venues, and event organizers, and may request suspension or termination of services or accounts.

8.11 International Enforcement; Export Controls. Kizoku™ may enforce these rights worldwide and pursue remedies available under foreign laws. You agree to comply with applicable export control and import laws governing Content.

8.12 Indemnity. You shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kizoku™ and its affiliates, officers, directors, employees and agents from any losses, liabilities, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising from your violation of this Section 8.

8.13 Survival; Cumulative Remedies. The rights and remedies in this Section 8 are cumulative and survive termination of your account and the Agreement.

9. SECURITY; ANTI‑PIRACY; MONITORING

10. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Kizoku™, its affiliates, licensors, licensees, officers, directors, employees, agents, content providers, and partners from and against any and all third‑party claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs) arising from or related to: (a) your breach of the Agreement; (b) your misuse or unauthorized distribution of Content or Confidential Information; (c) Member Content you submit; (d) your violation of applicable law; or (e) your negligent or willful misconduct.

Kizoku™ reserves the right, at its option, to assume the exclusive defense and control of any matter otherwise subject to indemnification by you. You agree to cooperate with Kizoku™ in defense of any claim.
