These Terms of Use (“Terms”) apply to the web sites, web pages, interactive features, applications, widgets, blogs, message boards, bulletin boards, chat rooms and/or other communities established on the site, social network “tabs,” alternative reality worlds or features, or other online or wireless offerings that post a link to these Terms, whether accessed via computer, mobile device or other technology, manner, or means (each, a “Site,” and collectively, the “Sites”). The Sites may be offered by Red Square Pictures, LLC, and/or Pony Song Productions, LLC and/or Pony Square 8, LLC, and/or one of its subsidiaries or affiliated companies (collectively, “PS8” or “we”, “us”, “our”). The term “Site” includes the content on that Site, all of our services provided on or through that Site (the “Site Services”), and any software that we make available on or through that Site (the “Software”), unless otherwise specified.
These Terms govern your rights and responsibilities in connection with the particular Site you are using (referred to sometimes as “the” Site). You “use” the Site anytime you access (via computer, mobile device or other technology), view, link to or from, or otherwise interact or communicate with or connect to, the Site (or any parts thereof), or interact or communicate with any other parties through the Site (including, without limitation, on message boards, chat rooms and/or other communities established on the Site). Your use of the Site (or any part thereof) signifies your agreement to be bound by these Terms and the PS8 Privacy Policy (the “Privacy Policy”), which is hereby incorporated by this reference into these Terms. These Terms are a binding legal agreement between you and PS8, and applies to you whether you are a registered user of the Site or Site Services (“Member”) or a non-registered user just browsing or viewing the Site (collectively with Member, “User” or “Users”): please read them carefully before you use the Site. Do not use the Site if you do not agree with any of the terms contained herein.

If you are not yet 13 years old or the required greater age for certain features, do not reside in the U.S. and/or do not meet any other eligibility requirements, please discontinue using the Site immediately or, if for any reason, you do not agree with all of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement, please discontinue using the Site immediately, because by using or attempting to use the Site, you certify that you are at least 13 years of age or other required greater age for certain features and meet any other eligibility and residency requirements of the Site.
Given the nature of the Internet, even though the Site is ordinarily (but not always) targeted to United States of America (“USA”) residents, it may be accessed in other parts of the world. If you are not a USA resident and yet use the Site, you acknowledge, understand and agree that you are doing so on your own initiative and at your own risk and that it is your responsibility (and not ours) to make sure that your use of the Site complies with all applicable local laws in the jurisdiction from where you access or use the Site. IF YOU ARE NOT A USA RESIDENT, BY SUBMITTING YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE INFORMATION ON THE SITE, YOU EXPRESSLY CONSENT TO THE TRANSFER OF SUCH DATA TO THE USA, AND TO THE PROCESSING OF SUCH DATA ON PS8’S (OR ITS DESIGNATED VENDORS’) USA SERVERS, WHERE YOUR DATA WILL BE GOVERNED BY USA LAWS THAT MAY PROVIDE A LOWER (OR DIFFERENT) LEVEL OF DATA PROTECTION THAN YOUR COUNTRY.
PS8 reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, modify, and/or add to these Terms or to the Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, at any time. Changes to these Terms or the Privacy Policy will be effective when posted. You agree to review these Terms and the Privacy Policy periodically to become aware of any changes. Your use of the Site or any part thereof after any changes to these Terms or the Privacy Policy are posted will be considered acceptance of those changes and will constitute your agreement to be bound thereby. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse will be to stop using the Site. Your use of certain Site features, functionality, programs or Services (including, without limitation, contests, sweepstakes, promotions, wireless marketing opportunities, photo or video or other User Submissions (as defined below)
uploading/posting opportunities, RSS feeds, etc.) offered on or through the Site may be subject to additional or special terms and conditions (“Special Rules”), and before you use any such features, functionality, programs or Services you may be required to indicate your acceptance of such additional Special Rules. All Special Rules are incorporated into these Terms as if fully set forth herein.

NOTHING CONTAINED HEREIN SHALL BE DEEMED TO TRANSFER TO USER ANY OWNERSHIP RIGHTS IN AND TO THE PS8 LICENSED ASSETS (IF ANY) INCLUDED IN YOUR USER SUBMISSIONS.

Because of the viral nature of social media, you should not submit any content or information to PS8 that you do not want to be viewed and “shared” or otherwise distributed by others.
POTENTIAL INVESTORS
If the Site provides information for potential investors and/or provides access to portions of the Site for such potential investors, then accessing such portions of the Site and/or reviewing such information means that you have agreed to the following terms and conditions.
The purpose of this section is to provide potential investors with general information about the feature film(s) (the “Picture”) and the efforts being taken by PS8 and the production team to produce a successful film. The information is provided for general informational purposes only and it is NOT a summary or a compilation of all information relevant to the Picture or an investment in the Picture. It does not purport to include every item which may be of interest to a potential investor, nor does it purport to present full and fair disclosure with respect to the Picture or an investment in the Picture within the meaning of applicable securities laws. Investment decisions should be made only after full review of a Private Placement Memorandum provided by PS8 and your own independent evaluation of the Picture, the company and any other information that you deem relevant to an investment decision. You are encouraged to consult your own counsel, accountant and other professional advisors as to legal, tax and other related matters prior to any investment in the company.
Information on this site is not an offer to sell securities or the solicitation of an offer to buy securities, nor shall there be any sale of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction. PS8 undertakes no obligation to update any information included on this Site. The information, estimates and expressions of opinion herein are subject to change without notice, and the posting of information on this Site does not imply that there has been no change in such information or the affairs of PS8 since the date such information was posted.
Unless otherwise noted, PS8 has not sought or obtained consent from any third party to reference any third party or to use any statements or information indicated in this Site as having been obtained or derived from statements made or published by third parties. Any such statements or information should not be viewed as indicating the support of such third party for the views expressed herein. PS8 and any other providers of the information expressly disclaim all warranties of any kind, express or implied, including, without limitation, any warranty of accuracy, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non−infringement.
This Site contains certain statements that constitute “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements include certain statements regarding intent, belief or current expectations about matters (including statements as to “beliefs,” “expectations,” “anticipations,” “intentions” or similar words). Forward-looking statements are also statements that are not statements of historical fact. Because these statements are based on factors that involve risks and uncertainties, actual results may differ materially from those expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These factors include, among others, statements related to business plans, strategies, anticipated strategies, levels of capital expenditures, financial projections, liquidity, the company’s performance, and anticipated capital financing needed to accomplish the objectives of the business plan. The subsequent forward-looking statements relating to the matters described herein and attributable to us or to persons acting on our behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by such factors. In light of these risks and uncertainties, there can be no assurance that the forward-looking statements contained on this Site will in fact occur. We have no obligation to publicly update or revise these forward-looking statements to reflect new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by applicable laws, and we caution you not to place undue reliance on these forward looking statements.
You have been granted access to the information, reports and documents contained herein, including but not limited to, the Picture script, on a confidential basis for informational use solely in connection with the evaluation of an investment in the Picture. The information contained herein may not be reproduced in whole or in part. By clicking on “Agree” below, you acknowledge that the information, reports and documents contained herein, including but not limited to, the Picture script, include confidential, sensitive and proprietary information and agree (1) to keep strictly confidential the contents of the Site, including but not limited to, the Picture script, and to not disclose its contents to any third party (other than your affiliates’ respective partners, directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and other representatives assisting in its evaluation of the potential investment in the Picture) without prior written consent of PS8 or otherwise use the contents for any purpose other than your evaluation of an investment in the Picture, (2) not to copy or reproduce all or any portion of the information or documents contained herein and (3) that PS8 may eliminate your access to this Site at any time in its sole discretion.
By clicking on “Agree” on this Site, you acknowledge all of the foregoing and that (i) you are an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Act and have the financial ability to bear, and the knowledge and experience to understand, the economic risk of an investment in PS8, (ii) PS8 is not, by the reports and information set forth herein, offering to sell any securities, nor soliciting an offer to buy any securities, of PS8 and (iii) the reports and information set forth herein will not be construed as a description of PS8 or its affairs at any time subsequent to the date such reports are posted and such reports and information will not be relied upon in connection with any decision to purchase or sell any securities of PS8.
