HAMJOY

Terms of Use

Effective Date: 1/1/2026  |  Last Updated: 3/2/2026

1. Introduction & Scope

These Terms ("Terms") form a legally binding agreement between you and Hamjoy Production LLC ("Hamjoy," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of our website (www.hamjoyproduction.com), all associated mobile or web applications, features, content, trailers, merch store, newsletter, etc. ("Service"). By using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms and any Additional Terms (e.g., contests, downloads, merch returns). Do not use our Service if you disagree. Like A24, we may update or change these Terms; continued use implies your acceptance.

2. Agreement to Arbitrate & Waiver of Jury Trial / Class Actions

Important – Review closely.

You and Hamjoy agree that any dispute between us—whether about these Terms, the Service, your submissions, or privacy—will be resolved via binding arbitration (JAMS rules) instead of court. You waive the right to sue in court, have a jury trial, or be part of a class action.

Exception: For IP infringement claims, Hamjoy may seek injunctive relief in court (e.g., copyright/trademark).

3. Choice of Law & Forum

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of California, without regard to conflict of law rules. Arbitration will be handled under JAMS in Oakland, CA. Court proceedings must be filed in California courts.

4. Acceptable Use Restrictions

You agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or other automated means to access or copy material.
  • Interfere with security or attempt unauthorized access.
  • Harass, defame, impersonate others, or upload malware.
  • Use our Service beyond the scope of the license granted.

5. Intellectual Property License

All content—films, trailers, text, graphics, images, logos, audio—are owned by Hamjoy or licensed. Except as permitted on the site, you may not use, copy, reproduce, modify, distribute, or publicly display any material without prior written consent.

6. User Content / Submissions

If you send messages, ideas, scripts, inquiries, comments, or other submissions through the Service:

  • You grant Hamjoy a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, reproduce, distribute, and promote that content.
  • Hamjoy is not obligated to keep them confidential or even respond.
  • Hamjoy retains the right to remove or moderate submissions that misuse or infringe others' rights.

7. Links to Third-Party Sites

We may link to platforms like YouTube, Vimeo, IMDb, or merch partners. We do not control or guarantee their content, and are not responsible for their policies, accuracy, or anything you do there.

8. Disclaimer of Warranties

THE SERVICE IS PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND. Hamjoy disclaims: accuracy, completeness, reliability, security, error-free operation, or suitability for your needs.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, Hamjoy will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages (e.g. loss of profits, data, goodwill). Even direct damages are limited to the amount you paid to access the Service, if any.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold Hamjoy (and its owners, officers, employees) harmless from claims, liabilities, damages, or expenses arising from:

  • Your breach of these Terms
  • Your misuse of the Service
  • Your submissions or content violating laws or third-party rights

11. Injunctive Relief Waiver

Except for enforcing IP rights, you will not seek injunctive or equitable relief against Hamjoy.

12. Modifications to Terms

Hamjoy may update these Terms at any time. Changes take effect when posted here, with the revised effective date. Your continued use means you accept them. We may or may not notify you directly.

13. Severability & Assignment

If any part of these Terms is found invalid, the rest remains in effect. Hamjoy can assign or transfer these Terms; you may not without written consent.

14. International Use & Export Control

The Service is operated in the U.S./California. We make no claim about availability outside the U.S. If access from another country conflicts with local laws, you must not use the Service. Software provided is subject to U.S. export controls—you may not export to sanctioned countries or restricted parties.

15. Enforcement & Law Enforcement Cooperation

Hamjoy reserves the right to investigate and pursue violations of these Terms. We may cooperate with legal authorities or comply with legal requests to disclose your info.
