PRIVACY POLICY
Introduction
We are committed to protecting your privacy. This Privacy Policy explains what that means—how DCP collects, uses and protects information we receive about you.
If you have any requests concerning that information, or any questions or comments about this policy, please email us at privacy@dickclark.com. The snail-mail address is at the bottom of this policy.
Privacy Policy for Children Under 13
Under no circumstances do we require children under the age of 13 to provide us with any personally identifiable information and we do not require children under the age of 13 to provide us with any more information than is reasonably necessary to participate in and make use of this site. If you are a child under the age of 13 get the approval of one of your parents or guardian before you post any such personal information. Have your parents email us their authorization for you to submit any personally identifiable information. We have the right at any time to alert your parent or guardian about this Privacy Policy. Any such information will not be provided to any third parties (except for those fulfilling certain services, as described below), and only if and when a parent or guardian provides permission to do so. Parents can send us an email changing or deleting the personally identifiable information of their child or children at any time. Send the email to privacy@dickclark.com. You can accelerate review of that request by putting into the subject line “Children.”
Privacy Policy for All Others
Information We Receive
We collect different types of information and each type is treated in a different manner. “Use Information” relates to the use of our websites or other services (such as the newsletter) and it is aggregated so that no one person can be identified from that information. That information is often known as “Non-Personally Identifiable Information” or “NPII.” Often, such NPII comes from the use of cookies (which we describe below) or IP addresses. This information helps us to enhance and improve our services.
“Personal Information” is known also as “Personally Identifiable Information” or “PII.” This means what it says: Information about who you are and may include an email address, a mailing address, your preferences and the like. It may include financial information, which we call “Personal Financial Information.”
The information we receive comes from multiple sources. The “non-personally identifiable” information, or NPII, comes usually from your use of one of our websites or other services, based on the cookies and things like an IP address. We receive the personal information, or PII, when you use one of our services where you are specifically asked to provide the information. That use might include registering on a website or subscribing to our newsletter or other services, such as a contest or sweepstakes. Naturally, if you email us we will have to keep that information so that we can respond to you and keep records of the communications. In addition, we receive your personal information from our third party partners, as long as they have given you an opportunity to opt-in or opt-out (or both). In those cases, you might have registered at a website for a television show, for example, that we are producing. We rarely receive Personal Financial Information but if so, it is only for very specific reasons. Either you have purchased something from us or you have purchased something from someone else and we are responsible for fulfilling that order.
Cookies. We use “cookies” to identify you when you visit this site, which enables us to improve the website and our other services, and in some cases to personalize the website and other services according to your preferences (if that is what you want). Cookies are explained at www.cookiecentral.com.
Blogs, Social Networking and User-generated Content. Please note that sometimes people will post personal information in a blog or a social networking feature or when they post user-generated content (such as a video). We will not use the information you post unless you tell us that the use is permitted. However, we cannot control the use of information that you post for others to view. Be careful.
How Information Is Used
We use the Non-personal, or NPII, information to determine website use and change its design and content, to manage relationships with advertisers and to determine our products, services and overall development. Once again, NPII is used in an aggregate form, rather than to identify any individual.
We use personal, or PII, information to communicate with you in replying to a question or comment you may have sent us or, where you have opted in by sending you something such as a newsletter or information about our products and services, including those provided with others or on behalf of others. In addition, we may ask you to take a survey. If we run a contest or sweepstakes, then we will have to be in touch with you. Similarly, if you wish to participate in any blogs or social networks, then we may have to communicate with you as to your postings or other participation.
When We Share Information
There are situations in which we share your information. The type of sharing will depend upon the importance of your information, whether or not you have opted in (or out) of such use and the security of the use by the third parties with whom we share the information.
Non-personally identifiable information is shared only in aggregate form, with our affiliates, partners or advertisers.
We share personally identifiable information, or PII, in the following situations:
Personal Financial Information, though rarely collected, will always be used only to fulfill an order you have made either with us or with someone else and we are fulfilling that order. We maintain secure systems for such information.
How to Change Information or its Use
If you do not wish to receive information from us or our partners you can check the appropriate box or click on the link specified for doing so that are located where you first used that particular service. For example, if you registered for the use of a website or service, then you will find that box there. If you want to unsubscribe to a newsletter, you can do so either at the newsletter page or by clicking on the unsubscribe link in the newsletter itself. In some cases, you may have provided that information at another site, in which case you will need to go to that site to opt out. Please understand that removing you from the databases may take some time, so have patience.
You should also be able to update your information in the same way. However, you can also email us at privacy@dickclark.com with that request. Please put in the subject line: User Information. Please understand that this method will be much slower than doing it on the website because we have to do it by hand, so to speak.
Linked Sites
Our website and other services contain links to the sites and services of other parties. Sometimes these are the sites and services of our partners and sometimes they are those of advertisers. When you click on those links you will be taken to those sites. At that time, you will be subject to the privacy and other policies of those sites. We strongly recommend that you check those policies before you use those sites or services, as we are not responsible for those services.
Security of Information
We take precautions to for the security of information we receive about users. For example, we offer encrypted transactions when you are purchasing from us. We cannot warrant the security of any information that you submit to us, and you do so at your own risk.
Changes in Privacy Policy
We reserve the right to change this policy at any time. Any changes will only have an effect on future use and will not affect any activities in the past. Some changes, such as notification procedures and the like, will take effect as soon as they are posted. For other changes we will send notification or, if that is too cumbersome, we will post a notice directing you to the change and informing you when it will take effect. In any cases, you will have the opportunity to opt out because of those changes. Please check this page periodically to view our most current Privacy Policy, which we will identify as such.
Thanks and Contact
We hope that you feel comfortable with our privacy policy. If you have any questions, please email us at privacy@dickclark.com. You can also mail us at:

TERMS OF USE
V4
Summary of the Terms of Use
Welcome to the website of dick clark productions. We wish to provide an excellent service to all users. Here is a summary of some of the terms of the binding legal agreement below the summary.
Summary of Some of the Terms of this TOU (Terms of Use)
Just View the Content. You can view the website and use its features and functionality, but you cannot (1) copy or download any of the content—not the text, not the images, nothing and/or (2) use information in ways that violate the terms of the agreement (the TOU).
Respect Others. The main point is that the services will be better for everyone (including you) if you do what you have always heard: Please respect others. We’re serious. Basically, dcp wants to keep you from using any of the dcp Services in a way that injures or damages someone else or injures or damages dcp.
The Privacy Policy Applies. The agreement (that is, the TOU) refers to other documents that are available at the web address noted in the agreement where each such document is mentioned. Those other documents are a part of the agreement. For example, dcp’s privacy policy is incorporated into the agreement (you can find the privacy policy at www.dickclark.com/privacy).
Changes to the Terms of Use. dcp may change the terms of the agreement below from time to time. That means also that we can change the terms of the documents that are incorporated by reference. We will post the new agreement and try to make sure that a notice is on the home page of one of the dcp websites. What this means for you: Any of your actions (and those of dcp) before the new terms are posted will be governed by the old terms. The new terms will apply if you accept them and then only for your actions after your acceptance.
Any Device. This TOU applies to use of the dcp Services through other devices such as a mobile phone. The use of such other devices may also have additional terms. Those terms will apply to that particular use of that particular device but the terms in this TOU will also apply.
Acceptance. How you accept the terms of the agreement is set forth below, in the section “1. Your Acceptance of These Terms.”
Minimum Age. There is a minimum age limit for users of the dcp Services and for the time being that is 13. We are sure that you will understand. If you are below that age then you have to stop using it immediately. We cannot be responsible for your use. It violates the terms of this TOU.
No Waiver. Our conduct (or lack of it) or any communications do not alter the terms of the agreement. That can be done in only two ways: by dcp posting new terms or by dcp executing a separate written agreement with you.
DMCA. We have a method for taking down material that someone may consider violates certain proprietary rights (e.g., copyright). That section of the TOU is Section 5.
Please carefully read what is set forth below, which is the binding agreement between dick clark productions and you. If you do not agree with the terms, then you must not use the services of dcp. You can contact us at tou@dickclark.com, with requests to change the terms, which we will consider. The legally binding agreement begins immediately below:
Terms of Use Agreement
Upon your acceptance this is a legally binding agreement between dcp and you. Critical to any agreement are “defined terms,” many of which are located throughout this document. Among the defined terms that are used quite a bit, are the following.
We will refer to this agreement as “Agreement” or “TOU.” In this Agreement, the terms “dcp,” “We” and “us” each refer to dick clark productions, Inc. or to any company that succeeds it (for example, by acquiring dcp). “You” refers to, well, you—the person using the dcp Services. You are also a “user,” meaning one who uses features and functionality of dcp Services.
Common sense will tell you that dcp Services means what you get when you view or use what is available from dcp. More specifically, though, “dcp Services” is defined as any combination of the following: (a) dcp Content; (b) the means by which dcp Content is displayed or otherwise delivered to you; (c) the features and functionality of such means of display and delivery and features and functionality; and (d) the look and feel of the display, delivery, features and functionality and including the trademarks, service marks, copyrights, logos and other proprietary rights of dcp. The dcp Services may change from time to time.
“dcp Content” means the information displayed from time to time by or on behalf of dcp and available for use by a user or users through the features and functionality of the dcp Services.
“dcp Site” means any website (or successor technology) and any other means of digital delivery of dcp Content and other aspects of dcp Services (e.g., features and functionality) such as mobile networks.
Other terms in this Agreement within quotation marks have the definitions given them at that point in the Agreement.
1. Your Acceptance of these Terms; Modifications to the TOU; Application of Terms
(a) Your Acceptance. By using any dcp Service, you agree to the terms of (1) this Agreement, (2) dcp’s privacy notice, found atwww.dickclark.com/privacy and incorporated here by reference and (3) other documents specified in this Agreement and provided to you through a link in this Agreement. If you do not agree to any of these documents then you are prohibited from using any dcp Services until you agree to these terms or dcp and you reach written agreement (signed by both parties) on other terms. You may also submit your requests for changes to these terms by email at tou@dickclark.com, though we might not be able to reply to such requests.
(b) Modifications to the TOU and Other Policies. dcp may, in its sole discretion, modify or revise this TOU at any time by posting new terms of use on the dcp Site, and you agree to be bound by such new TOU for all of your use of the dcp Services after such posting and once you use of any dcp Services after such posting. Please review the most recent version on a frequent basis (www.dickclark.com/tou). Please note that this section means that dcp may modify or revise policies that are incorporated by reference into this TOU, which such modifications and revisions will be effective when posted.
Please note: Your use of the dcp Services prior to such posting (and your acceptance of the terms by your subsequent use) will continue to be governed by the previous terms of use on the dcp Site. New terms affect only new activity by you.
(c) Application of Terms. Every section of this TOU applies to every user, unless specified at the outset of a section that such section applies to only a select group of users.
2. dcp Services and Links to Third Parties, No Use of Other’s dcp Accounts
(a) Other Websites. The dcp Services may contain links to third party websites. dcp has no control over, and assumes no responsibility for, the content, privacy policies, or practices of any third party websites. For purposes of this TOU, “websites” also means other services by which content may be delivered or functionality provided, e.g., mobile phones. In addition, dcp will not and cannot censor or edit the content of any third-party website. By using any dcp Services, you expressly relieve dcp from any and all liability arising from your use of any third-party website.
Accordingly, we encourage you to be aware when you leave the dcp Services and to read the terms and conditions and privacy policy of each other website that you visit or other information that you use.
(b) Advertising. dcp takes no responsibility for advertisements accessible through the dcp Services and/or any responsibility for the products or services provided by advertisers. Any relationship you have with advertisers is up to you. You agree that dcp is not liable for any claim you may have against an advertiser or any other party whose website or other content you access by clicking on a link on the dcp Site that takes you away from the dcp Site.
(c) Other Accounts. You can register at the dcp Site in many ways—for example, by subscribing to a newsletter or by using the site of a dcp partner that permits dcp to send you information. This will be a “dcp Account.” Whether or not you create a dcp Account, you are prohibited from using another person’s dcp Account without that person’s permission and you are prohibited from letting others use your dcp Account.
3. dcp Accounts
This Section 3 applies only to each user who creates an dcp Account. This Section 3 also includes the means for terminating an account.
(a) Creating a dcp Account. In order to access some of the dcp Services, you will have to create a dcp account. If you do not provide accurate and complete information then you will not get the benefits from that account. This also means that you need to update your account information when it changes.
(b) Account Data Subject to the Privacy Policy. As with all information dcp collects from users, the information in each dcp Account is subject to the privacy policy (which, as noted previously, is incorporated by reference into this TOU) which can be found atwww.dickclark.com/privacy. Also as previously noted, that policy is subject to change from time to time.
(c) The dcp Account Is Your Responsibility. You are solely responsible for the activity that occurs on your account, and you must keep your account password secure. Please immediately notify dcp of any unauthorized use of your account.
(d) Limitations on Liability from an dcp Account. Although dcp will not be liable for your losses caused by any unauthorized use of your dcp Account, you may be liable for the losses of dcp or others due to such unauthorized use. Additional terms relating to such liability (and the release of liability) are also found at Sections 6 and 7 below.
(e) Terminating or Closing an dcp Account. dcp has the right to terminate a dcp Account if a user is determined (in dcp’s sole discretion) to have infringed this TOU or the infringement is serious enough to warrant termination (e.g., pornographic, defamatory or obscene material). dcp may also terminate any accounts if its business changes. dcp will not necessarily notify you that an account has been terminated.
You may close your dcp Account at any time by sending an email with such instructions. Please send it to account@dickclark.com with the subject line “Please close account.” If the account information we have for on file for you is not correct, then we will not be able to close your dcp Account.
4. General Use of dcp Services: What You Can and Cannot Do
Below are set forth some of the principal terms for your use of the dcp Services. Basically, the intent is that you can view the dcp Content and use the features and functionality of the dcp Services but you cannot copy it or use it in any manner other than such viewing or browsing. Put another way, you are not to use the dcp Services for your commercial purposes.
(a) Permission. dcp hereby grants you permission to access and use the dcp Services as set forth in this TOU, provided that:
(b) SPAM. We hate SPAM probably more than you do. You are prohibited from using the dcp Services for SPAM or any other form of unsolicited bulk communications. This means that you cannot use the dcp Services to “harvest” information about users to send, or to facilitate the sending of, unsolicited bulk or other communications. If you do so, then you acknowledge that you will have caused substantial harm to dcp and that the amount of such harm would be extremely difficult to measure. We have made a reasonable estimate of the damages and therefore, you will pay dcp $50 for each such unsolicited communication you send through the dcp Services.
You also understand that we may use technical measures from time to time to prevent the sending or receipt of such communications.
(c) dcp’s Trademarks and Other Assets. dcp, the dcp logo and other dcp marks, graphics, logos, scripts, and sounds are trademarks of dcp or proprietary rights of dcp. None of the dcp trademarks or proprietary rights may be copied, downloaded or otherwise exploited without dcp’s prior written authorization.
5. Digital Millennium Copyright Act-Takedown Notice
This Section enables you to seek removal of content from the dcp Services that you believe infringes on certain proprietary rights-and it provides you with the procedure to object to the removal of such content. (Removal also includes simply making it unavailable for users to see it.)
(a) Takedown Notice. If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any User Submission or other dcp Content infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing. The appropriate section of the federal law can be found at 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3). The law either requires the following information and procedure or website publishers have adopted the following, so as to make the process more effective:
Please understand that your DMCA notice might not be valid if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section.
dcp’s designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is: Margaret Conway at MConway@dickclark.com. Please send only the DMCA notices to the Copyright Agent. Send any other feedback or comments on this matter todmca@dickclarkproductions.com.
(b) Notice of Objection to Takedown. You might not like it that certain content was removed. Here is the procedure to object, which requires you to meet certain criteria. You must represent the owner of the content (authorization from the owner or the copyright agent of the owner) or you are the owner or you have other rights under law to the content in question. If you meet at least one of these conditions then you may send this notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent. You can also send us email but that will not replace the notice (send such an email to dmca@dickclarkproductions.com). The notice must include:
If this notice is received by the Copyright Agent, dcp may send a copy of it to the original complaining party informing that person that dcp may replace the removed content in 10 or so business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 (or so) business days or more after receipt of the notice by the complaining party. However, doing so is at dcp’s sole discretion.
6. Warranty Disclaimer
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF THE dcp SERVICES SHALL BE AT YOUR SOLE RISK. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, dcp, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN CONNECTION WITH THE dcp SERVICES AND YOUR USE OF SUCH SERVICES.

(VI) ANY ERRORS OR OMISSIONS IN ANY CONTENT OR FOR ANY LOSS OR DAMAGE OF ANY KIND INCURRED AS A RESULT OF THE USE OF ANY CONTENT POSTED, EMAILED, TRANSMITTED, OR OTHERWISE MADE AVAILABLE VIA THE dcp SERVICES.
dcp DOES NOT WARRANT, ENDORSE, GUARANTEE, OR ASSUME RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE ADVERTISED OR OFFERED BY A THIRD PARTY THROUGH THE dcp SERVICES OR ANY HYPERLINKED WEBSITE OR OTHER LOCATION OR FEATURED IN ANY BANNER OR OTHER ADVERTISING, AND dcp WILL NOT BE A PARTY TO OR IN ANY WAY BE RESPONSIBLE FOR MONITORING ANY TRANSACTION BETWEEN YOU AND THIRD-PARTY PROVIDERS OF PRODUCTS OR SERVICES. USE YOUR BEST JUDGMENT AND EXERCISE CAUTION WHERE APPROPRIATE.
7. Limitation of Liability
IN NO EVENT SHALL dcp, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AGENTS, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WHATSOEVER RESULTING FROM ANY
(I) ERRORS, MISTAKES, OR INACCURACIES OF CONTENT;
(II) PERSONAL INJURY OR PROPERTY DAMAGE, OF ANY NATURE WHATSOEVER, RESULTING FROM YOUR ACCESS TO AND USE OF ANY dcp SERVICES;

THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SHALL APPLY TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW IN THE APPLICABLE JURISDICTION.
YOU SPECIFICALLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT (I) dcp SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR USER SUBMISSIONS AND/OR USER COMMENTS AND/OR THE DEFAMATORY, OFFENSIVE, OR ILLEGAL CONDUCT OF ANY THIRD PARTY AND (II) THAT THE RISK OF HARM OR DAMAGE FROM WHAT IS SET FORTH IN (I) ABOVE RESTS ENTIRELY WITH YOU.
8. Indemnity
You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless dcp, its parent corporation, officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney’s fees) arising from:
(I) Your use of and access to any dcp Services;
(II) Your violation of any term of this TOU;
(III) Your violation of any third party right, including without limitation any copyright, property, or privacy right.
This defense and indemnification obligation will survive the termination of this TOU and your use of any dcp Services.
9. Minimum Age & Your Ability to Accept this TOU
The minimum age for the use of the dcp Services is 13 years old. However, if you are between the ages of 13 and 18, then to agree to this TOU (and use the dcp Services) you need to have legal (such as a guardian) or parental approval or you must be what is known as an “emancipated minor” (which means that you have the approval under law to make your own decisions even though you are a minor). If you have to get that approval then please have that person email us at tou@dickclark.com and in the subject line include: “Children.” Please make sure that we can reply to the email you provide. You acknowledge that you are either 18 years old or older or you meet one of the conditions described in the sentence above if you are between 13 and 18. In either case, you also acknowledge that you are fully able and competent to enter into and comply with this TOU.
10. Written Approval & Amendments
In several sections of this TOU, we have referred to written approval from dcp for certain variations in some of the terms of this TOU. That written approval can be in the form of an email to you but it must be from an authorized representative of dcp, which means one of the members of senior management of dcp or the person or persons expressly authorized by them to act in this capacity. For example, a customer service representative would not be authorized to provide such written approval. In addition, that approval must expressly identify that this TOU is being adjusted and which particular provision or provisions is or are being changed. Any other modifications-such as an amendment-shall be valid only if posted by dcp and specifically amending, replacing or modifying this TOU. That right is specified in Section 1(b) above.
11. Term & Termination. Unless terminated early (as described below) this TOU shall continue in effect until such time as: your dcp Account is terminated (if you have an account); dcp (or its successor) ceases to offer the dcp Services or wishes to terminate this TOU; or dcp in its sole discretion terminates this TOU in relation to your use of the dcp Services if in its sole discretion your continued use of the dcp Services would be detrimental to dcp.
12. General Terms
In addition to the terms above, this TOU also includes the following provisions relating to the legal interpretation and enforcement of this TOU. Specifically, you agree that:
1. The dcp Services shall be deemed solely based in California;
2. The dcp Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over dcp, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than California;
3. These Terms of Service shall be governed by the substantive laws of the State of California, without respect to its conflict of laws principles and we and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts sitting in the City of Los Angeles, State of California;
4. Any claim or dispute between you and dcp that arises in whole or in part from your use of any dcp Services shall be decided exclusively by a court of competent jurisdiction located in California and you consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of such court, with the exception of claims objecting to a “takedown” as specified in Section 5(b) above, which includes your consent to jurisdiction of another court under specified circumstances;
5. This TOU, and any rights and licenses granted hereunder, may not be transferred or assigned by you, but may be assigned by dcp without restriction;
6. This TOU (which, remember, includes other documents incorporated by reference such as the privacy policy) shall constitute the entire agreement between dcp and you with reference to the dcp Services, unless dcp and you enter into a written agreement, executed by authorized persons, as to other matters;
7. If any provision of this TOU is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Service, which shall remain in full force and effect;
8. No waiver of any term of this TOU shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and dcp’s failure to assert any right or provision under this TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision;
9. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to confer any third-party rights or benefits;
10. This TOU (and those versions that replace it by dcp posting them) continues in effect until dcp determines otherwise or dcp elects to terminate or alter dcp Services, with such termination or alteration requiring termination of this TOU;
11. dcp makes no representations that the dcp Services are appropriate or available for use in other countries outside of the United States. If you access any dcp Services from such locations jurisdictions you are choosing to do so at your risk. You are solely responsible for compliance with the laws of the jurisdiction from which you obtain such access;
12. You agree that the remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement by you would, by its nature, be inadequate, and that in such case dcp will be entitled, in addition to damages, to a restraining order, temporary and permanent injunctive relief, specific performance and other appropriate equitable relief, without showing or providing that any monetary damage has been sustained;
13. YOU AND dcp AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE dcp SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.
End of Agreement
