Content Removal and Labelling

While Afewbadmen.online supports free speech and the expression of all ideas, including through the sale of books and other products sold on the Website, if Afewbadmen.online is notified of or otherwise learns of Merchandise that meets the standards for removal set forth below, Afewbadmen.online may (but without any obligation) investigate the allegation and determine in our sole discretion whether to remove such Merchandise from the Website.

If Merchandise portrays in writing or through images or form any one or more of the following, the work may be removed from Afewbadmen.online:

  • False Basis for Discrimination: Content that uses demonstrably false or pseudoscientific claims to pathologize or advocate for discrimination against a particular group (based on race, ethnicity, culture, religion or gender).
  • Hate Speech: Content that promotes violence or hatred against people based on characteristics like race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, disability, disease, age, sexual orientation, gender, or gender identity. This includes, without limitation, explicit racism, promoting racial hierarchy theories or affiliation with known hate groups.
  • Misinformation: Content that promotes harmful conspiracies, represents gross exaggerations or distortions as fact, or contains outright lies. This includes, without limitation, health claims or advice which, if acted on, are likely to have detrimental health effects on persons or public safety, conspiracy theories which have an associated history of harassing, hateful, or violent incidents among its adherents or theories which may foreseeably incite or cause harassment, physical harm, or reputational harm, intentional distortions and especially systematic false claims about historic events and facts.

Therefore, Afewbadmen.online reserves the right to label Merchandise that contains disputed information as such and/or provide links to external, credible sources containing additional information related to the controversy.

 

Order Fulfilment

 

The cost to ship Merchandise that a Customer purchases through the Website is calculated on a “per order,” “per item,” or “per pound” basis and is based on the shipping option the Customer selects at the time of purchase. Afewbadmen.online will ship the books and any other Merchandise it sells to the address designated by the Customer so long as such address is complete and complies with the shipping restrictions contained on the Website. All such transactions are made pursuant to a shipping contract and, as a result, risk of loss and title for the Merchandise passes to the Customer upon delivery of the Merchandise to the carrier.

 

In respect of products purchased from any sponsor or Platform Seller, as may be initiated via or through the Website, the order fulfilment shall be undertaken by the relevant sponsor or Platform Seller, in accordance with its terms and conditions.

 

Return Policy

 

Your satisfaction in receiving quality books from us is paramount, so we offer a 30-day return and replacement policy in respect of any physical books (hardback or paperback) that you buy from us if on its delivery you receive defective (as a consequence of faulty printing/manufacture) or incorrectly shipped physical books, for a full replacement of the items returned, including reimbursement of your reasonable return shipping costs, in accordance with either the amount of your valid receipt or with the standard postage rates as advertised by any recognised and relevant postal delivery operator undertaking delivery for like shipments.

  Mail to:

AFBM Limited – Returns
PO BOX [to be advised]

For an exchange of any physical book, the relevant book must be returned to us in its original condition as it was received (ideally in the original packaging). However, prior to sending back any book for exchange you must photograph the damage or defect from at least two different angles sufficient so that we can see the damage or defect, and you must send to us a copy of those photos to: info@Afewbadmen.online, and clearly label the email with “Exchange Request” and specify and describe what the damage or defect is. Ideally, you will also provide us with your mobile contact details so that we can call you if necessary.

 

We will then evaluate your email Exchange Request and contact you as soon as we can, but no later than 30 days, and we will record in a return email our determined position.

SPECIAL PROMOTIONS

 

Afewbadmen.online may from time to time provide to Users, particularly to Customers, certain: promotional opportunities; sweepstakes; contests; a chance for a Person to randomly win a shareholding in a movie rights owning company; and the opportunity to make a bid to purchase a shareholding in a movie rights owning company. All such promotions will be run at the sole discretion of Afewbadmen.online on terms and conditions which it shall set and can be activated, modified, or removed at any time by Afewbadmen.online without advance notification. The liability of Afewbadmen.online and any of Afewbadmen.online’s partners pursuant to each such promotion to all Users (including you) shall be limited to a maximum total of $100 for each of: (i) Afewbadmen.online and (ii) for each relevant partner, but subject to a combined cumulative maximum liability to all Users (including you) of no more than $1,000. Further any liability shall also be strictly limited pursuant to these Terms of Use and any other relevant terms and conditions that Afewbadmen.online may stipulate in respect of any relevant promotion.

 

List of Special Promotions

 

[1] Chance to Win a 1% shareholding:

 

Winning a 1% shareholding interest in the company that owns the movie rights to A Few Bad Men (“Movie Rights Company”)

 

It’s a Team Effort: The Movie Rights Company will never own 100% of all the movie/series rights and net income derived therefrom, as it must engage other parties to assist in making, producing and selling the movie and or animated series. The Movie Rights Company will therefore only ever have a residual interest or share in the movie/series. For example, it may have a minority (say 20% to 50%) residual interest, and it may be greater or lower than as exampled, and such residual interest may rank in part or entirely after, or alongside, the interests of other parties. Without limitation such other parties may include funders, producers, directors, and movie production and marketing companies (and such may include related parties providing funding and or services on commercial terms).

 

Qualifying Condition: Subject to these Ts and Cs, and all relevant laws, the single winner of the 1% of existing shares in the Movie Rights Company can only be one person that is a book owner of A Few Bad Men, or who is a person who has registered for free on: Afewbadmen.online (without purchasing a book) and who has remained subscribed to Afewbadmen.online throughout the whole period, and who has provided us with and maintained throughout the entire period an active email address, and who is also 18 years or older at the time of winning the 1% shareholding (“Qualifying Single Winner”).

 

Restrictions on future on-sales: The existing shares won by the Qualifying Single Winner will carry a requirement that the shares won cannot be on-sold or distributed to the general public.

 

Acting in upmost good faith: Afewbadmen.online and its associated Movie Rights Company will act in upmost good faith towards making this 1% of existing shares to be won by a single winner, but strictly subject to us being legally allowed to do so, and strictly subject to us being able to comply with any relevant laws.

 

Legal Advice: We will take appropriate legal advice shortly before the intended time of randomly selecting the single winner of the 1% shareholding. When taking such legal advice, we will do our upmost to facilitate the winning of the 1% shareholding interest in the Movie Rights Company to a single Qualifying Single Winner. In doing so, we shall make any adjustments reasonably required based on the legal advice we receive at that time, provided however that any such alteration that we may make is reasonable and within the law. In the unlikely event that such legal advice is to exclude or restrict in some way some subset of persons from being eligible to win the 1% shareholding, for whatever reason, then we shall act on that advice as reasonable and commercially appropriate. In that event, we may elect to only determine the single winner, randomly, from those eligible persons unaffected by such advice.

 

Avoidance of Doubt: We shall have no liability whatsoever to any person in the event that we receive legal advice that we cannot legally transfer the 1% shareholding to one single (successful) winner as we intend. While we view such situation as very unlikely, we equally need to make the ‘what if’ position clear.

 

Notification: We shall notify the successful winner of the 1% shareholding in the Movie Rights Company at least one month prior to any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men. That notified winner shall be invited to attend with a partner the movie premiere or such similar event. Usual terms and conditions of attendance shall apply.

 

Extension of Process: Alternatively, we may at our sole discretion, elect to split this into two separate outcomes/events, and to:

(i) randomly select one successful winner to attend with a partner the movie premiere or such similar event and we shall do so at least one month prior to any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men; and later,

(ii) randomly select one successful winner of the 1% shareholding in the Movie Rights Company and we shall do so on or about the date that is 18 months after any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men.

The reason why we may wish to undertake such an extension is to create greater marketing opportunities to increase awareness and participation, including via book sales. Consequently, this should see a positive impact on the value of the Movie Rights Company, and therefore the value of the 1% shareholding to be won. If we do this, then we will also put aside into a reserve fund any share of dividends or profits or other benefits that the 1% shareholder would otherwise have received if we had transferred the shareholding earlier (at the time of first screening). The relevant amount in such reserve fund will be transferred to the successful winner at the same time as the 1% shareholding is transferred.

 

[2] Opportunity to Bid to Buy a 3% shareholding:

 

Bids to buy a 3% shareholding interest in the Movie Rights Company

 

Qualifying Book Owner: A bid to purchase 3% of the existing shares in the Movie Rights Company can only be made by a book owner of A Few Bad Men who is 18 years or older at the time of making any bid, and who purchased or acquired the book online from us, so that we have a source record of each book owner’s identity and ownership from the date of purchase or acquisition (“Qualifying Book Owner”).

 

Time of making a Bid: Bids to purchase 3% of the existing shares in the Movie Rights Company are expected to be invited by us approximately 3-4 months before any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men (potentially during 2028). Further, any valid bid must be made to us at that relevant time by way of invitation to treat, and we will provide at that time a suitable draft invitation to treat that bidders can use.

 

Email invitation must first be made: Further, such bids to purchase can only be made by a Qualifying Book Owner following our sending of an email invitation to the Qualifying Book Owner. When we later make this invitation by email, we reserve the right to only invite those Qualifying Book Owners who have remained subscribed to our website throughout the whole ownership period, and who have provided us with and maintained throughout an active email address.

 

Lowest ‘Single’ Bid buys: the lowest single bid between $1,000 to $2,000 shall be the successful bidder – subject to these Terms and Conditions, and laws.

 

Number of Bids: each Qualifying Book Owner can submit 1 Primary Bid, and 4 backup bids which are used in the event of a tie, to separate down to one successful buyer.

 

Primary Bid: This is the determinative bid that either succeeds outright (as it’s the lowest single bid), or it determines the ‘small group’ of tied bidders that are tied on the lowest bid amount that also has the least number of tied bidders.

 

Backup Bids: There are 4 backup bids which are only used to separate any ‘small group’ of tied bidders down to a single winning bid. This process occurs in order of the backup bids made: that is, the 1st backup bid is used first, then, if needed, the 2nd backup bid is used, then, if needed, the 3rd and 4th backup bids can be used as necessary. In the very unlikely event that there remain two or more tied parties after this process has been fully completed, then those remaining tied parties will be invited to repeat the bidding process, until a lowest single bid is determined and one single successful bidder is determined.

 

No Payment: There is no requirement for any payment at the time of bidding. Payment by the single successful purchaser shall only occur once the successful buyer is determined.

 

Purchase Price Financing: The purchase price payment will be between $1,000 to $2,000. In the event that the successful purchaser wishes to have financing to help meet the purchase price payment obligation, then we will provide 90% of the purchase price as vendor finance, for a term of 3 years, at a monthly interest rate of 1% per month. Only the 1% monthly interest shall be payable each month, in arrears, with the original loan amount to be repaid at the end of year 3.

 

Restrictions on future on-sales: The existing shares purchased will carry a requirement that the purchased shares cannot be on-sold or distributed to the general public.

 

Acting in upmost good faith: We will act in upmost good faith towards making this invitation to each such Qualifying Book Owner, but strictly subject to us being legally allowed to do so, and strictly subject to us being able to comply with any relevant laws.

 

Legal Advice: We will take appropriate legal advice shortly before the intended time of inviting for bids. When taking such legal advice, we will do our upmost to facilitate the sale of a 3% shareholding interest in the Movie Rights Company to a single Qualifying Book Owner, at a price of between US$1,000-US$2,000. In doing so, we shall make any adjustments reasonably required based on the legal advice we receive at that time, provided however that any such alteration that we may make is reasonable and within the law. In the unlikely event that such legal advice is to exclude or restrict in some way some subset of persons from within the Qualifying Book Owners, for whatever reason, then we shall act on that advice as reasonable and commercially appropriate. In that event, we may extend the invitation to those remaining Qualifying Book Owners that are unaffected by such advice, and if relevant and if we are able to do so, we may adjust the invitation in respect of affected parties. For example, let us assume that some Qualifying Book Owners reside in a country that does not allow any successful bidder to ‘profit’ from such arrangements as contemplated here by more than, say, $10,000 (the “Restricted Country Bidder”). In this theoretically assumed example, if the winning bid is from such a Restricted Country Bidder, then the maximum profit for that successful bidder will be limited to comply with the relevant law of the relevant country, and the surplus / remaining benefits will go to the next lowest bidder/s, and so on.

 

Avoidance of Doubt: We shall have no liability whatsoever to any person, including to any Qualifying Book Owner, in the event that we receive legal advice that we cannot legally sell the shares to one single (successful) buyer as we intend. While we view such situation as very unlikely, we equally need to make the ‘what if’ position clear.

 

Notification: We shall notify the successful single bidder (purchaser) of the 3% shareholding in the Movie Rights Company at least one month prior to any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men. That notified purchaser shall be invited to attend with a partner the movie premiere or such similar event. Usual terms and conditions of attendance shall apply.

 

Extension of Process: Alternatively, we may at our sole discretion, elect to delay the bidding process as set out above by up to 18 months, in which event we will adjust and manage the process so that we can be in a position to:

(i) conclude a bidding process and notify the successful single bidder (purchaser) of the 3% shareholding in the Movie Rights Company and we shall do so on or about the date that is 18 months after any first scheduled screening of the relevant movie, or first series screening, or such similar first screening event as may be relevant, of A Few Bad Men; and

(ii) invite the successful single bidder (purchaser) to attend with a partner an expenses paid event to meet the author/s and the movie producer and or director. Usual terms and conditions of attendance shall apply.

The reason why we may wish to undertake such an extension is to create greater marketing opportunities to increase awareness and participation, including via book sales. Consequently, this should see a positive impact on the value of the Movie Rights Company, and therefore the value of the 3% shareholding to be acquired by one successful bidder (at a purchase price between US$1,000 – US$2,000, but no more than US$2,000). If we do this, then we will also put aside into a reserve fund any share of dividends or profits or other benefits that the 3% shareholder would otherwise have received if we had transferred the shareholding earlier (at the time of first screening). The relevant amount in such reserve fund will be transferred to the successful bidder at the same time as the 3% shareholding is transferred.

 

 

General – Many Unknowns and Commercial Factors Apply

There are many commercial factors and many unknowns in undertaking the commercialisation of film rights, including future events that are uncertain and or are not known at any starting time. These can each have a positive, neutral, or negative effect, meaning that the ultimate ability of any rights owning company, such as our Movie Rights Company, to successfully commercialise business rights, is not certain. It is important to therefore note that there can be NO CERTAINITY of any particular outcome, and that it is NOT CERTAIN that our Movie Rights Company will ultimately be successful in its endeavours to commercialise the rights it owns into any film, or documentary, or series. ACCORDINGLY, THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES OF ANY PARTICULAR OUTCOME, IMPLICIT OR OTHERWISE AND NO PARTY CAN HAVE ANY LIABILITY TO ANY OTHER PERSON RELATING TO ANY FAILURE TO COMMERCIALISE THE RIGHTS, OR IN RESPECT OF ANY OUTCOME RELATING TO THE RIGHTS. Notwithstanding the foregoing, our Movie Rights Company will act in upmost good faith towards successfully commercialising the rights it owns.

If Afewbadmen.online is not able to settle funds into your account for six (6) months, after reasonable efforts to contact you, you hereby agree that Afewbadmen.online may deem such funds to be Pool Revenues to be distributed to Pool Participants (as described in the Terms and Conditions of Platform Seller Program below) or otherwise held in accordance with Afewbadmen.online’s legal obligations. Each Affiliate agrees it will pay all taxes for which it is responsible under any applicable law or regulation when such taxes are due.

 

Pricing Merchandise in the Marketplace

Each Affiliate and Afewbadmen.online acknowledge that Afewbadmen.online provides Affiliates the Website for purposes of interacting socially with its customers and the public generally, and that merchandise shall be priced, sold and delivered either solely by Afewbadmen.online, or as relevant by its associated sponsors and or Platform Sellers. Afewbadmen.online shall not engage in deceptive trade practices, and without any liability, it shall use its reasonable endeavours to ensure its sponsors and Platform Sellers do likewise, and to take action if it becomes aware of any issue in this regard.

Such information may include, without limitation Customer’s name, email address, home address, and purchase history. Upon Customer’s revocation of their consent to Afewbadmen.online’s sharing of such information with you, Afewbadmen.online will notify you and you agree to promptly remove all such information from your records and verify such removal to Afewbadmen.online in writing.
