We are pleased to provide you access to the services described below in Section 1 (collectively, our "Services"). These Terms of Service ("Terms") apply to your purchase, access to, and use of, any Services. These Terms do not alter in any way the terms or conditions of any other agreement you may have with Oculus for products, services or otherwise. If you are using the Services on behalf of any entity, you represent and warrant that you are authorized to accept these Terms on such entity’s behalf and that such entity agrees to be responsible to us if you or that entity violate these Terms.

Oculus reserves the right to change or modify these Terms on a going-forward basis at any time and in our sole discretion. If Oculus makes changes to these Terms, we will provide notice of such changes as appropriate, such as by sending an email notification to the address you’ve provided and/or notice through the Services.

1. Oculus Products and Services

Our mission is to enable people to have meaningful interactions regardless of physical distance. To help advance this mission, we provide the Services described below to you. In order to provide these Services, we must collect and use your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://www.oculus.com/legal/privacy-policy.

Provide innovative devices, content and systems. We offer a variety of physical goods, platform services, software, websites, applications, and content that allow you to access and immerse yourself in virtual, augmented, and mixed-reality (collectively, "XR") worlds and obtain services related to our products. We use the data we have to provide you with these products and to enhance the XR ecosystem.
Provide a personalized experience for you. Your experience with Oculus is unlike anyone else’s. For example, any Oculus user may be eligible to see thousands of unique pieces of content. We use the data we have – for example, information about the connections you make, the choices and controls you select, and the things you share and do – to personalize your experience.
Connect you with people and experiences you care about. We help you find and connect with people, groups, events, and other experiences that matter to you across the Services you use. We use the data we have to make suggestions for you and others – for example, rooms to join, events to attend, and people you may want to become friends with. Stronger ties make for better communities, and we believe our Services are most useful when people are connected to people, groups, and experiences they care about.
Empower you to express yourself and communicate about what matters to you. There are many ways to express yourself on Oculus and to communicate with friends, family, and others – for example, sharing photos, creating or participating in events or multiplayer experiences, or adding content to a virtual environment. We also have developed, and continue to explore, new ways for people to use technology like augmented reality and 360 video to share more expressive and engaging content on or through Oculus.
Help you discover content, products and services that may interest you. We may provide you with offers and other promotions to help you discover content, products, and services that are offered by Oculus and the many businesses and organizations that use our Services.
Combat harmful conduct and protect and support our community. People can only have meaningful interactions if they feel safe. We employ dedicated teams and develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our service, harmful conduct towards others, violations of our terms and policies, and situations where we may be able to help support or protect our community. If we learn of content or conduct that misuses our Service or violates our Terms and policies, we will take appropriate action – for example, removing content, blocking access to certain features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share information with other Facebook Companies (https://www.facebook.com/help/111814505650678) when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our Services.
Use and develop advanced technologies to provide functional services for everyone. We use and develop advanced technologies – like artificial intelligence and machine learning systems – to enable us to offer a better and more useful service to everyone who uses Oculus. For example, we use information we have to develop models that will surface content that is relevant to you. We also develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Services.
Research new ways to make our services better. We engage in research and collaborate with others to improve our Services. One way we do this is by analyzing the data we have and understanding how people use our Services.
Provide consistent and seamless experiences: Our products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is consistent and seamless across the different Facebook Company Products (https://www.facebook.com/help/195227921252400) that you use. For example, some of our Services help you connect with your friends on Facebook.
Enable global access to our services: To operate our global service, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centers and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be owned or operated by Facebook Technologies, LLC, Facebook Technologies Ireland Limited, Facebook Inc., Facebook Ireland Limited, or their affiliates.

19. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH OCULUS AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM OCULUS (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).

19.1 Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. You and Oculus agree to waive any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accept the use of binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination); provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in San Mateo County, California, or, if you reside in the U.S., in a small claims court in your county of residence. "Dispute" as used in this Section 19 means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to Oculus, these Terms, the subject matter of these Terms, or access to and use of the Services, including but not limited to contract, personal injury, tort, warranty, statute or regulation, or other legal or equitable basis and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of Third Party Content), except any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy relating to Oculus’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and/or patents). You and Oculus empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.

19.2 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Oculus agree that any Dispute is personal to you and Oculus, and that any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither you nor Oculus agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.

19.3 Federal Arbitration Act. You and Oculus agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of Section 19 shall be governed by, construed, and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA") to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

19.4 Confidentiality. The arbitrator, Oculus, and you shall maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.

19.5 Process. Our goal is to resolve claims fairly and quickly. Accordingly, for any Dispute that you have against Oculus, you agree to first contact Oculus and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to Oculus. The Notice to Oculus must be sent by certified mail addressed to: General Counsel, Oculus, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your account; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Oculus cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this Section 19, commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court. You and Oculus agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.

In the event that you and Oculus cannot resolve a Dispute and you do not pursue your claims through small claims court, you or Oculus shall promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration at the office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In the event AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, you and Oculus agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that you and Oculus mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, you and Oculus are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect. The AAA Rules and other information about AAA and arbitration are readily available at http://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. By entering into these Terms, you either (1) acknowledge that you have read and understand the AAA Rules or (2) waive reading the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair in any way. You and Oculus agree that these Terms govern the arbitration, and that the applicable AAA Rules shall be subject to changes in procedures that AAA may make from time to time.

As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute; provided, however, that this power does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms (as stated above). The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.

Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, Oculus will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US $5,000, whichever is greater, and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your attorney reasonably accrue for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claim in arbitration. We waive any right to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any non-frivolous arbitration between you and us.

19.6 Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Oculus can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision, and must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your Oculus account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Any requests to opt out must be sent to: General Counsel, Oculus, 1601 Willow Rd., Menlo Park, CA 94025.

If a court or arbitrator decides that any of this section's limitations cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief, then that claim (and only that claim) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Unless you choose to opt out, this dispute resolution provision in Section 19 shall survive termination of these Terms.

The courts in some countries may not permit you to consent to arbitration. If you reside in one of those countries, your country’s laws will apply.

20. Governing Law

20.1 The laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern your access to and use of the Services. Your access to and use of the Services may also be subject to other local, state, national or international laws.

20.2 To the extent the provisions in Section 19 do not apply, you further agree that all disputes, causes of action, claims, or controversies arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating all such claims to the extent allowed by law. The courts in some countries may not apply California law to some types of disputes or allow you to consent to jurisdiction in California. If you reside in one of those countries, your country's laws will apply to such disputes related to the Services.

21. Modifications to the Services

Oculus reserves the right to change, suspend, remove, discontinue or disable access to the Services or particular portions thereof, at any time and without notice. In no event will Oculus be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any portion or feature of the Services.

22. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate your right to access and use the Services if you violate these Terms or any other terms or policies referenced herein, or if you otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is be deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

24. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms or any of the rights granted hereunder without the prior written consent of Oculus, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void. Subject to the foregoing restriction, these Terms will be fully binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by us and our respective successors and assigns.

25. Nonwaiver

Any failure by Oculus to insist upon or enforce performance by you of any of the provisions of these Terms or to exercise any rights or remedies under these Terms or otherwise by law will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of any right to assert or rely upon the provision, right or remedy in that or any other instance; rather, the provision, right or remedy will be and remain in full force and effect.

1. Oculus Products

Our mission is to enable people to have meaningful interactions regardless of physical distance. To help advance this mission, we provide the Oculus Products described below to you. In order to provide these Oculus Products, we must collect and use your personal data as described in our Privacy Policy, which is available at https://www.oculus.com/legal/privacy-policy/.

Provide innovative devices, content and systems. We offer a variety of physical goods, platform services, software, websites, applications, and content that allow you to access and immerse yourself in XR worlds and obtain services related to our products. We use the data we have to provide you with these products and to enhance the XR ecosystem.
Provide a personalized experience for you. Your experience with the Oculus Products is unlike anyone else’s. For example, any user of the Oculus Products may be eligible to see thousands of unique pieces of content. We use the data we have – for example, information about the connections you make, the choices and controls you select, and the things you share and do – to personalize your experience.
Connect you with people and experiences you care about. We help you find and connect with people, groups, events, and other experiences that matter to you across the Oculus Products you use. We use the data we have to make suggestions for you and others – for example, events to attend, and people you may want to become friends with. Stronger ties make for better communities, and we believe our Oculus Products are most useful when people are connected to people, groups, and experiences they care about.
Empower you to express yourself and communicate about what matters to you. There are many ways to express yourself on the Oculus Products and to communicate with friends, family, and others – for example, sharing photos, creating or participating in events or multiplayer experiences, or adding content to a virtual environment. We also have developed, and continue to explore, new ways for people to use technology like augmented reality to share more expressive and engaging content on or through the Oculus Products.
Help you discover content, products and services that may interest you. We may provide you with offers and other promotions to help you discover content, products, and services that are offered by us and the many businesses and organizations that use our Oculus Products.
Combat harmful conduct and protect and support our community. People can only have meaningful interactions if they feel safe. We employ dedicated teams and develop advanced technical systems to detect misuse of our service, harmful conduct towards others, violations of our terms and policies, and situations where we may be able to help support or protect the Oculus community. If we learn of content or conduct that misuses our Oculus Products or violates our Terms and policies, we will take appropriate action – for example, removing content, blocking access to certain features, disabling an account, or contacting law enforcement. We share information with other Facebook Companies (https://www.facebook.com/help/111814505650678/) when we detect misuse or harmful conduct by someone using one of our Oculus Products.
Use and develop advanced technologies to provide functional services for everyone. We use and develop advanced technologies – like artificial intelligence and machine learning systems – to enable us to offer a better and more useful service to everyone who uses the Oculus Products. For example, we use information we have to develop models that will surface content that is relevant to you. We also develop automated systems to improve our ability to detect and remove abusive and dangerous activity that may harm our community and the integrity of our Oculus Products.
Research new ways to make our services better. We engage in research and collaborate with others to improve our Oculus Products. One way we do this is by analyzing the data we have and understanding how people use our Oculus Products.
Provide consistent and seamless experiences: Our products help you find and connect with people, groups, businesses, organizations, and others that are important to you. We design our systems so that your experience is consistent and seamless across the different Facebook Company Products (https://www.facebook.com/help/195227921252400/) that you use. For example, some of our Oculus Products help you connect with your friends on Facebook.
Enable global access to our Oculus Products: To operate our global Oculus Products, we need to store and distribute content and data in our data centers and systems around the world, including outside your country of residence. This infrastructure may be owned or operated by Facebook Technologies, LLC, Facebook Technologies Ireland Limited, Facebook Inc., Facebook Ireland Limited, or their affiliates.

You may be charged by your network provider for data services or any other third party charges as may arise while using the Oculus Products and you accept responsibility for such charges. If you are not the bill payer, we will assume that you have received permission from the bill payer.

5. Purchasing Oculus Products

5.1 Purchasing Oculus Products from Oculus. You may only purchase Oculus Products for your personal use or to give as a gift unless otherwise expressly permitted in these Terms. You may not purchase Oculus Products from Oculus for commercial use or resale, although you may use the Oculus Products to develop and test content, software, or applications intended for distribution by Facebook and our affiliates.

When placing an order or making a purchase, you will be required to provide us with information, such as your address and billing information. You represent and warrant that all such information is accurate, and you will ensure that such information is kept current. We will have no responsibility or liability for inaccurate information or information that later becomes outdated, and we will have no obligation to make efforts to determine the correct contact or shipping information. For most Oculus Products, you can manage your information within your account settings. For product purchases pending shipment, you can update your information at any time prior to shipment at https://shop.oculus.com/history/. We will not take payment for product purchases until Order Acceptance (see below).

After you place an order, you may receive a communication from us acknowledging that we have received your order ("Order Acknowledgement"). Please note that receiving the Order Acknowledgement does not mean that your order has been accepted. We will confirm our acceptance of your order by sending you a communication that confirms that the order has been processed or the goods have been shipped – when applicable ("Order Acceptance"). The contract between us in relation to the applicable Oculus Products will be formed when we send you the Order Acceptance.

Any shipping dates or times provided by us (or a courier) are estimates only and are not guaranteed. The risk of loss in physical goods you purchase and the responsibility to insure the goods passes to you upon delivery of the goods to you.

Nothing in these Terms shall affect your statutory rights to reject physical goods that, when received by you, are damaged or defective.

5.2 Pre-Orders. In advance of a new Oculus Product launch it may be possible to place pre-orders.

The price of the Oculus Product you pre-order will be as quoted to you at the time you submit your pre-order, and may include tax and shipping when applicable. Placing a pre-order does not guarantee delivery of an Oculus Product.

When the pre-ordered Oculus Product is ready for shipping or delivery we will contact you to provide you with your purchase confirmation (including shipping costs and any taxes where applicable). This shall constitute the Order Acceptance.

5.3 Our Right to Reject Your Order. At any time prior to Order Acceptance, we reserve the right to decline or reject your order. If this occurs, we will attempt to notify you. Some reasons for rejection can include: (a) we are unable to supply you with the Oculus Product, for example because that item is no longer available or because of an error in the price at the point of sale; (b) you do not live in a country or region from which the Oculus Product may be purchased; or (c) you order more than the permitted maximum number of Oculus Products. If you have already paid, we will refund you the full amount including any delivery costs charged.

5.4 Your Right to Cancel or Return Physical Goods. You may cancel your order or pre-order of physical goods at any time prior to shipping and Order Acceptance. After shipping the goods to you, you have the right, within 30 days from the date of your receipt of the goods, to cancel our contract with you and return the goods. This right does not apply to any goods that have been used, or are stated by us to be non-returnable, including any items or goods that have been personalized or modified in accordance with your instructions. The goods must be fully returned in the original packaging with the applicable proof of purchase and you will be responsible for the cost of returning the goods to us. If, on return to us, it is determined that the goods have been used, damaged, are missing components, or are not in resalable condition we may charge a 15% restocking fee, or otherwise reduce the amount of your refund to take account of this damage, use, or missing components.

To cancel your order or return your goods, you must inform us of your decision by following the instructions at https://support.oculus.com

5.5 Content Transactions. You may have the ability to purchase digital content through the Oculus Products. You also may have the ability to purchase additional or enhanced functionality or media content within certain Oculus Products (collectively, "In-App Purchases"). Except as described in these Terms, we have no responsibility for any transactions you enter into with a third party for Third Party Content or In-App Purchases and assume no liability for Third Party Content or Third Party In-App Purchases that occur within Third Party Content.

5.6 Errors. We attempt to be as accurate as possible and to eliminate errors in relation to our Oculus Products; however, we do not represent or warrant that any Oculus Product descriptions or pricing information are accurate, complete, reliable, current or error-free. In the event of an error, we reserve the right to correct such error and revise your order accordingly (which includes charging the correct price) or to cancel the order and refund any amount charged. If we discover a pricing or other material error related to an Oculus Product that has yet to be shipped or delivered, we will contact you to inform you of this error and give you the option of continuing to purchase at the correct price or cancelling your order. If we are unable to contact you using the contact details you provided during the order process, we will treat the order as cancelled.

5.7 Account. You may be required to be a registered user in order to purchase some Oculus Products. You are responsible for all charges incurred in connection with your account. We may attempt to collect unpaid charges, including by attempting additional charges to your payment instrument, use of collections agencies and any other legal means. If you decide to cancel your account, we reserve the right, subject to any limitations under applicable laws, to collect fees, surcharges, or costs incurred before cancellation. Any delinquent or unpaid accounts must be settled before we will allow you to register again.

5.8 Virtual Items. Your purchase of a virtual item or in-game currency within the Oculus Products is a payment for a limited, non-assignable license to access and use such content or functionality in the Oculus Products. Virtual items (including characters and character names) or in-game currency purchased or available to you in the Oculus Products can only be used in connection with the Oculus Products where you obtained them or where they were developed by you as a result of game play. These items are not redeemable or subject to refund and cannot be traded outside of the Oculus Products for money or other items for value. We may modify or discontinue virtual items or in-game currency at any time.

5.9 Pricing and Payment. We may accept various forms of payment, including credit and debit cards, and payments made through PayPal and Facebook Payments. Additional terms with your payment provider may apply.

By submitting an order or pre-order, you acknowledge that you are authorized to use the designated payment method and you authorize us to charge your order to that payment method. When you provide your payment information, you authorize us (or a third party payment processor) to process and store your payment and related information. Depending on where you are located or ask to have the Oculus Products shipped or delivered, Oculus may utilize an agent, subsidiary, or affiliate (including Facebook Technologies Ireland Limited for orders outside of the United States and Canada) to process payment and shipping. In the event the payment method you designate cannot be verified, is invalid, or is not otherwise acceptable, we may suspend or cancel your order. You are responsible for resolving any problems we encounter in order to proceed with your order.

Prices are subject to change without notice. We reserve the right to refuse or cancel orders at any time and in our sole discretion.

5.10 Taxes. If your purchase or use of the Oculus Products is subject to any type of use or sales tax, duty or other governmental tax or fee ("Taxes"), then we may charge you for those Taxes. Applicable Taxes may be presented at checkout. You are responsible for any Taxes due with respect to your use of the Oculus Products.

5.11 Content Cancellations; Returns. All purchases of digital content are final except as required by law, or as described in our Mobile (https://www.oculus.com/legal/mobile-content-refund-policy/) and Rift (https://www.oculus.com/legal/rift-content-refund-policy/) Content Refund Policies. Once you purchase content, we encourage you to download, install and/or access it promptly. You consent that the supply of the digital content may begin immediately following the completion of your purchase, and you acknowledge that you therefore will lose any statutory rights you may have to withdraw and receive a refund. The laws of some jurisdictions do not allow the disclaimer or removal of certain statutory rights, so this waiver of statutory rights may not apply to you. If you are unable to download, install or access purchased content, please contact us through the support portal at https://support.oculus.com.

6. Acceptable Use

By accessing or using the Oculus Products, you agree that you will not: (a) access or use the Oculus Products in any manner that could interfere with, disrupt, negatively affect or inhibit anyone from fully enjoying the Oculus Products, including, but not limited to, defamatory, harassing, threatening, bigoted, hateful, vulgar, obscene, pornographic, or otherwise offensive behavior or content; (b) damage, disable, overburden or impair the functionality of the Oculus Products in any manner; (c) access or use the Oculus Products for any illegal or unauthorized purpose or engage in, encourage, or promote any illegal activity, or any activity that violates these Terms, Community Standards (also known as the Facebook Rules) and Conduct in VR Policy, or any other terms or policies provided in connection with the Oculus Products; (d) use or attempt to use another user’s account without authorization from such user; (e) modify, adapt, hack or emulate the Oculus Products; (f) use any robot, spider, crawler, scraper or other automated means or interface not provided or authorized by us to access the Oculus Products or to extract data; (g) circumvent or attempt to circumvent any filtering, security measures or other features designed to protect the Oculus Products, or third parties; or (h) infringe upon or violate our rights or the rights of our users or any third party.

7. User Content

Our Oculus Products may include interactive features and areas where you may submit, post, upload, publish, email, send, otherwise transmit, or interact with content, including, but not limited to, text, images, photos, videos, sounds, virtual reality environments or features, software and other information and materials (collectively, "User Content"). Unless otherwise agreed to, we do not claim any ownership rights in or to your User Content. If you use content covered by intellectual property rights that we have made available through our Oculus Products (for example, images, designs, videos, or sounds we provide that you add to content you create or share on Oculus Products), we retain all rights to that content (but not yours). By submitting User Content through the Oculus Products, you grant us a worldwide, non-exclusive, transferable, royalty-free, and fully sublicensable (i.e. we can grant this right to others) right to use, copy, display, store, adapt, publicly perform, and distribute such User Content in connection with the Facebook Company Products (https://www.facebook.com/help/195227921252400/) (subject to applicable Privacy Settings (https://secure.oculus.com/my/privacy/)). This right ends when you delete your User Content or your account unless your User Content has been shared with others, and they have not deleted it. You irrevocably consent to any and all acts or omissions by us or persons authorized by us that may infringe any moral right (or analogous right) in your User Content. If User Content includes music, you agree to our Music Guidelines (https://www.oculus.com/legal/music-terms/).

You are solely responsible for the User Content you make available through the Oculus Products and you represent and warrant that (a) you either are the sole and exclusive rights owner of all User Content that you provide, or you have obtained all rights, licenses, permissions, consents and releases that are necessary to grant to us the rights specified in this section; (b) the provision of your User Content, and our subsequent use of such User Content, will not infringe, misappropriate or violate any third party’s patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret, moral rights or other proprietary or intellectual property rights, or rights of publicity or privacy, or result in the violation of any applicable laws or regulations; and (c) your User Content does not violate our Community Standards (also known as the Facebook Rules) and Conduct in VR Policy.

We do not endorse or guarantee the opinions, views, advice, or recommendations posted or sent by users. Facebook has no responsibility or liability for User Content made available through the Oculus Products, and we have no obligation to screen, edit or monitor such content. However, we do reserve the right, and have absolute discretion, to remove, screen or edit User Content at any time and for any reason, including content that infringes intellectual property rights or otherwise violates these Terms.

In the event you are a developer who submits User Content to, or in connection with, the Oculus Products, you acknowledge and agree that our agreements with you as a developer may supersede this section of the Terms.

These third parties have their own privacy policies and will treat the information they collect about you according to these policies. We encourage you to review these privacy policies before providing any information to third parties.

16.2 YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF THE OCULUS PRODUCTS IS AT YOUR SOLE RISK. AS BETWEEN YOU AND FACEBOOK, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE OCULUS PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE" BASIS, AND FACEBOOK EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS (EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ORAL OR WRITTEN), INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE FACEBOOK PARTIES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE OCULUS PRODUCTS EXCEED THE GREATER OF ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100) OR THE AMOUNT YOU PAID US TO USE OUR OCULUS PRODUCTS. THE FOREGOING DISCLAIMER OF CERTAIN DAMAGES AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY WILL APPLY TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

19. Dispute Resolution

PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO SUBMIT TO BINDING ARBITRATION (JURY TRIAL WAIVER) OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES (OTHER THAN SPECIFIED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS AND SMALL CLAIMS) WITH FACEBOOK AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM FACEBOOK (NO CLASS ARBITRATIONS, CLASS ACTIONS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTIONS OR ARBITRATIONS).

19.1 Binding Arbitration; Disputes; Small Claims. You and Facebook agree to waive any right to a jury trial, or the right to have any Dispute resolved in any court, and instead accept the use of binding arbitration (which is the referral of a Dispute to one or more impartial persons for a final and binding determination); provided, however, that you have the right to litigate any Dispute in small claims court, if all the requirements of the small claims court, including any limitations on jurisdiction and the amount at issue in the Dispute, are satisfied. You agree to bring a Dispute in small claims court in San Mateo County, California, or, if you reside in the U.S., in a small claims court in your county of residence. "Dispute" as used in this Section 19 means any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy arising out of or in any way related to Facebook in connection with these Terms, the subject matter of these Terms, or access to and use of the Oculus Products, including but not limited to contract, personal injury, tort, warranty, statute or regulation, or other legal or equitable basis and disputes that involve third parties (such as developers of Third Party Content), except any dispute, cause of action, claim, or controversy relating to Facebook’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, trade dress, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and/or patents). You and Facebook empower the arbitrator with the exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these terms or formation of this contract, including the arbitrability of any dispute and any claim that all or any part of these terms are void or voidable.

19.2 No Class Arbitrations, Class Actions or Representative Actions. You and Facebook agree that any Dispute is personal to you and Facebook, and that any Dispute shall only be resolved by an individual arbitration and shall not be brought as a class arbitration, a class action, or any other representative proceeding. Neither party agrees to class arbitration, or an arbitration where a person brings a Dispute as a representative of any other person or persons. Neither you nor Facebook agree that a Dispute can be brought as a class or representative action whether inside or outside of arbitration, or on behalf of any other person or persons.

19.3 Federal Arbitration Act. You and Facebook agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of Section 19 shall be governed by, construed, and enforced, both substantively and procedurally, by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. ("FAA") to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

19.4 Confidentiality. The arbitrator, Facebook, and you shall maintain the confidentiality of any proceedings, including but not limited to, any and all information gathered, prepared, and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator shall have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard that confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary.

19.5 Process. Our goal is to resolve claims fairly and quickly. Accordingly, for any Dispute that you have against Facebook, you agree to first contact Facebook and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to Facebook. The Notice to Facebook must be sent by certified mail addressed to: General Counsel, Oculus, 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, CA 94025. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, and the email address and/or mobile telephone number associated with your Oculus account; (b) describe the nature and basis of the claim; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. If you and Facebook cannot reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after such Notice is received, then either party may, as appropriate in accordance with this Section 19, commence an arbitration proceeding or file a claim in court. You and Facebook agree that any Dispute must be commenced or filed within one year after such claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred.

In the event that you and Facebook cannot resolve a Dispute and you do not pursue your claims through small claims court, you or Facebook shall promptly submit the Dispute to binding arbitration at the office of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). In the event AAA declines or is unable to administer the arbitration, you and Facebook agree to use an arbitration forum or arbitrator that you and Facebook mutually agree upon. If, after making a reasonable effort, you and Facebook are not able to agree upon an arbitration forum or arbitrator, AAA or a court having proper jurisdiction will appoint an arbitration forum or arbitrator. The arbitration will be conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules ("AAA Rules") then in effect. The AAA Rules and other information about AAA and arbitration are readily available at https://www.adr.org, by calling 1-800-778-7879, or by mail at 120 Broadway, Floor 21, New York, NY 10271. By entering into these Terms, you either (1) acknowledge that you have read and understand the AAA Rules or (2) waive reading the AAA Rules and waive any claim that the AAA Rules are unfair in any way. You and Facebook agree that these Terms govern the arbitration, and that the applicable AAA Rules shall be subject to changes in procedures that AAA may make from time to time.

As limited by the FAA, these Terms, and the applicable AAA Rules, the arbitrator will have the exclusive power and jurisdiction to make all procedural and substantive decisions concerning the Dispute; provided, however, that this power does not include the power to conduct a class arbitration or a representative action, which is prohibited by these Terms (as stated above). The arbitrator may only conduct an individual arbitration, and may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of representative or class proceeding, or any proceeding on behalf of or involving more than one person or persons.

Unless the arbitrator finds the arbitration was frivolous or brought for an improper purpose, Facebook will pay all filing, AAA, and arbitrator’s fees and expenses. If the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US $5,000, whichever is greater, and pay your attorney, if any, the amount of attorneys’ fees incurred, and reimburse any expenses (including expert witness fees and costs) that you or your attorney reasonably accrue for investigating, preparing and pursuing your claim in arbitration. We waive any right to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any non-frivolous arbitration between you and us.

19.6 Right to Opt Out. You may opt out of this agreement to arbitrate. If you do so, neither you nor Facebook can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding. To opt out, you must notify us in writing within 30 days of the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision, and must include your name and residence address, the email address you use for your Oculus account (if you have one), and a clear statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. Any requests to opt out must be sent to: General Counsel, Oculus, 1601 Willow Rd., Menlo Park, CA 94025.

If a court or arbitrator decides that any of this section's limitations cannot be enforced as to a particular claim for relief or request for a remedy (such as public injunctive relief), then that claim or request for a remedy (and only that claim or request) must be severed from the arbitration and may be brought in court. Unless you choose to opt out, this dispute resolution provision in Section 19 shall survive termination of these Terms.

The courts in some countries may not permit you to consent to arbitration. If you reside in one of those countries, your country’s laws will apply.

20. Governing Law

20.1 The laws of the State of California, excluding its conflicts of law rules, govern your access to and use of the Oculus Products. Your access to and use of the Oculus Products may also be subject to other local, state, national or international laws.

20.2 To the extent the provisions in Section 19 do not apply, you further agree that all disputes, causes of action, claims, or controversies arising under these Terms that cannot be settled through informal negotiation will be resolved exclusively in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California or a state court located in San Mateo County, and you agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts for the purposes of litigating all such claims to the extent allowed by law. The courts in some countries may not apply California law to some types of disputes or allow you to consent to jurisdiction in California. If you reside in one of those countries, your country's laws will apply to such disputes related to the Oculus Products. In particular, if you are a consumer and habitually reside in a Member State of the European Union, the laws of that Member State will apply to any claim, cause of action, or dispute between us that arises out of or relates to these Terms or the Oculus Products and the claim, cause of action, or dispute may be resolved in any competent court in that country that has jurisdiction over the claim. In all other cases, you agree that the claim must be resolved as described in these Terms.

21. Modifications to the Oculus Products

We reserve the right to change, suspend, remove, discontinue or disable access to the Oculus Products or particular portions thereof, at any time and without notice. In no event will Facebook be liable for the removal of or disabling of access to any portion or feature of the Oculus Products.

22. Termination

We reserve the right to terminate your right to access and use the Oculus Products if you violate these Terms or any other terms or policies referenced herein, or if you otherwise create risk or possible legal exposure for us.

23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is deemed unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

24. Assignment

You may not assign these Terms or any of the rights granted hereunder without the prior written consent of Facebook, and any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void.
