This website (the “Website”) is operated by Laudato Si’ Movement (“we”, “us” and/or “our”) and has been created to share information about The Letter film and materials to support screenings with Website visitors (“you” or “your”).

By using the Website, you acknowledge that you have read, understand, and agree to be bound by our Terms of Service. When you use our Website, you have the option of providing us with certain data in order to register your screening event. If you choose to provide such data, we may publish this data on our website. If your commitment is being made on behalf of an institution and if you agree to do so, we may provide your contact information on a publicly available web page and other locations with other community members’ information.

Use of the Website is conditioned upon User’s acceptance of these Terms of Service (“Terms”) and our Privacy Policy. Please read these Terms and our Privacy Policy carefully. If you do not agree with these Terms or our Privacy Policy, please do not access or use the Website. Please note that we may update these Terms from time to time, and we ask that our Users periodically review this page to ensure familiarity with the most current version of these Terms. The most current version of these Terms will be posted on this page. If you have any questions or comments about these Terms or our Privacy Policy, please contact us at [email protected].

User Submissions

By voluntarily submitting information, communications, or content (including photos, videos, testimonials, and reviews) (each a “User Submission”) via the Website, you agree that a User Submission is non-confidential for all purposes and you grant us an irrevocable, nonexclusive, perpetual, worldwide, royalty-free, fully sublicensable, right and license to use, display, publicly perform, modify, reproduce, publish, distribute, adapt, make derivative works of, sublicense and otherwise commercially and non-commercially exploit your User Submission and all copyright, trade secret, trademark, or other intellectual property rights therein, in any manner or medium now existing or hereafter developed (including but not limited to print, film, or electronic storage devices), without compensation of any kind to you or any third party, and the right to include your name and city of residence in connection with any such use. Each User Submission is also subject to such other terms and conditions as we may specify for particular submissions. By submitting material to us, you represent and warrant that you have full authority to grant the rights set forth above and that your material will not, in whole or in part, infringe the intellectual property rights, rights of privacy or publicity, or any other rights of any third party. You further represent and warrant that you have attained the legal age of majority in your jurisdiction. The submission of any User Submission in no way creates any obligation or duty on our part to post or use such User Submission or, if we do so, to give you credit. We may, at any time and in our sole discretion, choose to edit or remove any User Submission from the Website. You agree that we may contact you via phone, email, or mail regarding your User Submission.

Consent to Collection, Use, and Disclosure of Personal Data

By using the Website, you acknowledge our collection, use and sharing of your Personal Data as set forth in our Privacy Policy. You also acknowledge that by providing your Personal Data through the Website your Personal Data is transferred to and accessed by our personnel in the United States. If you do not wish for your Personal Data to be used in the manner set out in the Privacy Policy or transferred to the United States, you should not access or use the Website.

Opt-In Consent to Receiving Text Messages

By voluntarily submitting your mobile telephone number via our Website, you agree that we may use this number to send you text messages for the purposes set forth in our Privacy Policy, and you affirmatively consent (“opt in”) to receiving text messages from us for such purposes. Text message frequency may vary. We may use an automatic telephone dialing system (“autodialer”) or other technology to send text messages. While you consent to receive text messages sent using an autodialer, the foregoing shall not be interpreted to suggest or imply that any or all of our mobile messages are sent using an autodialer. You are responsible for all charges and fees associated with text messaging imposed by your wireless provider. Message and data rates may apply. If you decide that you would no longer like to receive our text messages, you agree to reply STOP, CANCEL, or UNSUBSCRIBE to any text message from us in order to opt out of text communications. Please note that we may change any short code or telephone number we use to send text messages at any time, and we will make reasonable efforts to notify you of these changes. You acknowledge that any messages, including any STOP or other opt-out requests, you send to a short code or telephone number we have changed may not be received, and we will not be responsible for honoring requests made in such messages.

We may provide links to third party websites. Links to other websites are provided as a convenience only. We do not endorse, are not responsible for, and do not control these third-party sites, their services, or their software.

The Website and its entire contents, features, and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video, and audio, and the design, selection, and arrangement thereof) are owned by us and our licensors, artists, or other providers of such material and are protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.

Claims of Copyright Infringement

We do not knowingly violate or permit others to violate the copyrights of others. We will promptly remove or disable access to material that we know is infringing or if we become aware of circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent.

If you are requesting removal of content because of a violation of your copyrights, please note that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe that your own work, or the work of a third party for whom you are authorized to act, is featured on the Service or has been otherwise copied and made available on the Website in a manner that constitute copyright infringement, please notify us immediately. Your notice must be in writing and must include

  • an electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest
  • a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed
  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website (including the URL, title and/or item number if applicable, or other identifying characteristics)
  • your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, and, if you are not the owner of the copyright, the name of the owner
  • a written statement by you that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf

Your statement must be addressed as follows:

[Copyright Agent]

700 12th St NW Suite 700 PMB 90321 

Washington, DC 20005, USA

[email protected] 

Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident.

Disclaimer of Warranties

We do not warrant the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or reliability of the material or data on this website or any other site, or available through links from the Website. You understand that we cannot and do not guarantee or warrant that files available for downloading from the internet or the Website will be free of viruses or other destructive code. You are responsible for implementing sufficient protection to satisfy your particular requirements for anti-virus protection and accuracy of data input and output, and for maintaining a means external to our Website for any reconstruction of any lost data. YOUR USE OF THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, AND ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE IS AT YOUR OWN RISK. THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, AND ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS, WITHOUT ANY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. NEITHER WE NOR ANY PERSON ASSOCIATED WITH US MAKES ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION WITH RESPECT TO THE COMPLETENESS, SECURITY, RELIABILITY, QUALITY, ACCURACY, OR AVAILABILITY OF THE WEBSITE. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, NEITHER WE NOR ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH US REPRESENTS OR WARRANTS THAT THE WEBSITE, ITS CONTENT, OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL BE ACCURATE, RELIABLE, ERROR-FREE, OR UNINTERRUPTED, THAT DEFECTS WILL BE CORRECTED, THAT OUR WEBSITE OR THE SERVER THAT MAKES IT AVAILABLE ARE FREE OF VIRUSES OR OTHER HARMFUL COMPONENTS, OR THAT THE WEBSITE OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE WEBSITE WILL OTHERWISE MEET YOUR NEEDS OR EXPECTATIONS. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, WE HEREBY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOREGOING DOES NOT AFFECT ANY WARRANTIES THAT CANNOT BE EXCLUDED OR LIMITED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW.

Limitation of Liability

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAWS WE, ON BEHALF OF OUR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, SUPPLIERS, LICENSORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, EXCLUDE AND DISCLAIM LIABILITY FOR ANY LOSSES AND EXPENSES OF WHATEVER NATURE AND HOWSOEVER ARISING INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, GENERAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES; LOSS OF USE; LOSS OF DATA; LOSS CAUSED BY A VIRUS; LOSS OF INCOME OR PROFIT; LOSS OF OR DAMAGE TO PROPERTY; CLAIMS OF THIRD PARTIES; OR OTHER LOSSES OF ANY KIND OR CHARACTER, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OF THE WEBSITE. YOU ASSUME TOTAL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ESTABLISHING SUCH PROCEDURES FOR DATA BACK UP AND VIRUS CHECKING AS YOU CONSIDER NECESSARY. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY APPLIES WHETHER THE ALLEGED LIABILITY IS BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER BASIS.

IF ANY PART OF THIS LIMITATION ON LIABILITY IS FOUND TO BE INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE FOR ANY REASON, THEN THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF THE RELEASED PARTIES FOR LIABILITIES THAT OTHERWISE WOULD HAVE BEEN LIMITED SHALL NOT EXCEED ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00).

The Website gives you specific legal rights and you may also have other rights which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain kinds of limitations or exclusions of liability, so the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms may not apply to you. Other jurisdictions allow limitations and exclusions subject to certain conditions. In such a case the limitations and exclusions set out in these Terms shall apply to the fullest extent permitted by the laws of such applicable jurisdictions. Your statutory rights as a consumer, if any, are not affected by these provisions, and we do not seek to exclude or limit liability for fraudulent misrepresentation.

Indemnification

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold us harmless, including our affiliates, licensors, and service providers, and our respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors, and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms or your use of the Website, including, but not limited to, your User Submissions, any use of the Website’s content, services, and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms, or your use of any information obtained from the Website.

Severability

If any provision of these Terms is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be contrary to law, such provision will be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.

Modification and Discontinuation

We reserve the right at any time and from time-to-time to modify, edit, delete, suspend or discontinue, temporarily or permanently the Website (or any portion thereof) and/or the information, materials, products and/or services available through the Website (or any part thereof) with or without notice. You agree that we shall not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of the Website.

Waiver

Our failure at any time to require performance of any provision of these Terms or to exercise any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of such provision or such right. All waivers must be in writing. Unless the written waiver contains an express statement to the contrary, no waiver by Rittenhouse of any breach of any provision of these Terms or of any right provided for herein will be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of such provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right under these Terms.

Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Venue

These Terms will be governed under the laws of the District of Columbia without regard to its conflicts of law provisions. All actions or proceedings commenced by you and arising out of or relating to these Terms will be venued exclusively in the local or federal courts of the District of Columbia. You hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the personal jurisdiction of said courts for all such purposes. However, we retain the right to bring legal proceedings in any jurisdiction where we believe that infringement of these Terms is taking place or originating.
