DREAMS & VISIONS

THE SPIRITUAL ODYSSEY OF A LEGEND

This isn’t your typical Muhammad Ali biopic. Dreams & Visions pulls back the curtain on the man behind the myth, offering a rare glimpse into the spiritual backbone that drove his every decision. Ali wasn’t justfighting opponents—he was fighting for faith, justice, and a cause far bigger than any title. This experience doesn’t glorify his victories; it explores the inner fire that pushed him to become a symbol of defiance and hope. If you think you know Ali, prepare to be humbled—this is the soul behind the fists.

SHADOW & LIGHT

INSIDE THE MIND OF DAVID LYNCH

Step into a world where the familiar and surreal intertwine and light and shadow reveal unexpected beauty. Through Apple Vision Pro and Lynch-inspired projections, this immersive experience invites you to explore iconic scenes: the quiet allure of small-town diners, the hypnotic pull of Twin Peaks, and the haunting elegance of Mulholland Drive. Each step draws you deeper into Lynch’s vision, where light unveils as much mystery as shadow. This isn’t just an experience; it’s an invitation to discover hidden layers, finding clarity and wonder in both darkness and light.

ON GOD

WRESTLING WITH THE DIVINE

Reimagine spirituality by creating an inclusive space where ancient narratives transcend dogma to uncover universal truths. Whether rooted in tradition, distanced from religion, or seeking deeper meaning, it invites everyone to engage with the timeless stories that define the human experience.

Through the fusion of storytelling and immersive technology, this brings sacred texts to life in ways that resonate with the modern soul. By bridging the wisdom of the past with the spirit of the present, these transformative experiences connect cultures, faiths, and generations.

Terms of Use

Effective Date: October 22, 2024.

1. Introduction and Overview

These Terms of Use (“Terms”) set forth a legally binding agreement between you and Polygraph Media (“Polygraph”, “we”, “our”, or “us”), and govern your use of any website, mobile application, or online service location that posts a link to these Terms (each, a “Site”), and all features, content, subscriptions, products, and other services that we own, control and make available to you that mention or identify these Terms (collectively, with the Sites, the “Service”). These Terms govern your access to and use of the Service.

By visiting the Site or using the Service in any way, including by making any purchases or browsing the Sites, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms and all applicable laws and regulations, and you acknowledge our collection, use, and disclosure of your information as described in our Privacy Policy. If you do not agree with any of these Terms, you are prohibited from using or accessing the Service. WITHOUT LIMITING ANYTHING HEREIN, YOUR AGREEMENT TO THESE TERMS MEANS YOU ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE TO THE TERMS RELATED TO CONDUCTING THIS TRANSACTION ELECTRONICALLY, DISCLAIMERS OF POLYGRAPH’S WARRANTIES, DAMAGE AND REMEDY EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS, BINDING ARBITRATION, WAIVER OF A JURY TRIAL, AND A CHOICE OF NEW YORK LAW (EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN).

In some instances, both these Terms and separate terms and conditions (“Additional Terms”) will apply to your use of the Service. This may include promotions, sweepstakes/contests, subscription services, auctions, and loyalty and rewards programs, as well as return policies for certain transactions. We will notify you to the extent Additional Terms apply to your use of the Service. If there is a conflict between these Terms and any applicable Additional Terms, the Additional Terms will control unless they expressly state otherwise.

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time for any reason, which shall be effected by posting the updated Terms here. Your use of the Service after we post any changes to these Terms constitutes your agreement to those changes from the date of such changes. You agree to review these Terms periodically to ensure that you are familiar with the most recent version.

2. Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes; Choice of Law

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT AND TO HAVE A JURY HEAR YOUR CLAIMS. IT CONTAINS PROCEDURES FOR MANDATORY BINDING ARBITRATION AND A CLASS ACTION WAIVER. DO NOT USE THE SERVICE IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE FOLLOWING BINDING ARBITRATION TERMS (the “Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes”).

A. We Both Agree to Arbitrate.

You and Polygraph Media agree to resolve any claims relating to these Terms, any Additional Terms, the Service, the Content, or our Privacy Policy through final and binding arbitration, except that, to the extent you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate Polygraph’s intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights), Polygraph Media may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Service, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.

B. What is Arbitration.

Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court and seeks to resolve disputes more quickly. Instead of a judge or a jury, the case will be decided by a neutral arbitrator who has the power to award the same damages and relief that a court can. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found unenforceable, the unenforceable provision shall be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms shall be enforced.

C. Arbitration Procedures.

The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this dispute resolution provision. Arbitration shall be initiated through JAMS. Any dispute, controversy, or claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Service, the Content, or our Privacy Policy shall be referred to and finally determined by arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“Arbitration Rules”) in front of one arbitrator. The JAMS Rules and instructions for how to initiate an arbitration are available from JAMS at www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/ or 1-800-352-5267. To initiate arbitration, you or Polygraph Media must do the following things:

  1. Write a demand for Arbitration. The demand must include a description of the claim and the amount of damages sought to be recovered. You can find a copy of a demand for arbitration at www.jamsadr.com/submit/.
  2. Send three copies of the demand for arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee to: JAMS to your local JAMS office or to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, CA 94111.
  3. Send one copy of the demand for arbitration to the other party.

Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the JAMS Rules. If travelling to New York is a burden, you may participate in the arbitration by phone or via document submission to the fullest extent allowable by the arbitrator. Each party will bear their own costs of arbitration unless the arbitrator directs that bearing such costs would be an undue burden, and in that case, we will pay for your portion of the arbitration administrative costs (but not your attorneys’ fees). Arbitration under this agreement shall be held in the United States in New York, NY under New York law without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. The arbitration may award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive relief). Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

D. Authority of Arbitrator.

The arbitrator will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and Polygraph Media, and the dispute will not be consolidated with any other matters or joined with any other cases or parties. The arbitrator shall have the authority to grant motions dispositive of all or part of any claim. The arbitrator shall have the authority to award monetary damages and to grant any non-monetary remedy or relief available to an individual under applicable law, the Arbitration Rules, and the Terms. The arbitrator shall issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The arbitrator has the same authority to award relief on an individual basis that a judge in a court of law would have. The award of the arbitrator is final and binding upon you and Polygraph Media.

E. No Class Actions.

YOU MAY ONLY RESOLVE DISPUTES WITH US ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. You may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed.

F. Waiver of Jury Trial.

THE PARTIES HEREBY WAIVE THEIR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY, instead electing that all claims and disputes shall be resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In the event any litigation should arise between you and Polygraph Media in any state or federal court in a suit to vacate or enforce an arbitration award or otherwise, YOU AND POLYGRAPH MEDIA WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, instead electing that the dispute be resolved by a judge. YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU HAVE BEEN ADVISED THAT YOU MAY CONSULT WITH AN ATTORNEY IN DECIDING TO ACCEPT THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE.

G. Choice of Law/Forum Selection.

In any circumstances where the Agreement to Arbitrate Disputes permits the parties to litigate in court, these Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, excluding its conflict of law rules. You further expressly consent and agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of a federal or state court of competent jurisdiction located in New York, NY.

All descriptions of products or product pricing are subject to change at any time without notice, at our sole discretion. We reserve the right to discontinue any product at any time. Any offer for any product or service made on the Service is void where prohibited. We do not warrant that the quality of any products, services, information, or other material purchased or obtained by you will meet your expectations, or that any errors in the products or services will be corrected.

All physical products you purchase from the Service are made pursuant to a shipment contract. This means that the risk of loss and title for such items pass to you as soon as we provide the product to the carrier or shipping company.

Products shipped to destinations outside the United States will be imported on your behalf. You authorize us to import the products on your behalf. Further, you agree that we may delegate the obligation to import the products on your behalf to a subcontractor (e.g., customs broker). You will pay the taxes & duties in addition to the purchase price of the products.

We do our best to describe every product or service offered on our Service as accurately as possible. However, we are human, and therefore we do not warrant that product specifications, pricing, or other content on the Service is complete, accurate, reliable, current, or error-free. In the event of any errors relating to the pricing or specifications, Polygraph Media shall have the right to refuse or cancel any orders in its sole discretion. If we charged your credit card or other account prior to our cancellation, we will issue a credit to your account in the amount of the charge. Additional Terms may apply. If a product or service you purchased from Polygraph Media is not as described, your sole remedy is to cancel the purchase and receive a credit for the purchase price (except for Premium Memberships, which are subject to the cancellation terms described in Section 9 below).

You are responsible for providing an accurate and current delivery address each time you place an order. We are not responsible or liable for lost packages if the item is delivered to the address you indicated in your purchase, and we are not responsible or liable for stolen packages. We may or may not replace lost or stolen packages in our sole discretion.

This includes allowing select marketing companies to place their own cookies or other tracking tools on our Sites to track your activities across time and services, so that they may tailor and serve ads to you based on your activities (“Interest-based Advertising”). The information collected and stored by these marketing companies remains subject to their own policies and practices.
  • With third parties in relation to the sweepstakes, contests, surveys, and other promotions that we run from time to time, either by ourselves or jointly with another organization.

C. Cookies, Analytics, and Advertising Tracking Tools.

As disclosed in Section 2 and Section 4 above, we and our partners automatically collect information about your devices and online interactions using tracking technologies like cookies, pixels, and web beacons, across time and across different platforms.

You may exercise choices regarding the use of cookies from Google Analytics by going to https://tools.google.com/dlpage/gaoptout or downloading the Google Analytics Opt-out Browser Add-on.

We and our partners engage in interest-based advertising by using tracking tools to understand your online interactions over time and across different platforms in order to serve advertisements that are more tailored to your interests. To opt-out of tracking for interest-based advertising purposes from participating companies, visit both the Digital Advertising Alliance WebChoices tool at www.aboutads.info/choices and the Network Advertising Initiative opt-out at www.networkadvertising.org/choices.

This Section of our Privacy Policy applies solely to visitors and users who are located in the European Economic Area (“EEA”) or the United Kingdom (“UK”). For the purpose of EEA and UK data protection laws, Polygraph Media acts as controller in connection with the personal information described in this Privacy Policy.

Legal Basis for Processing

We process personal information on the following bases:

  • Consent – when you opt-in to receive cookies or otherwise provide consent for marketing and other data processing. You have the right to withdraw your consent, or to refrain from granting your consent. You are under no statutory or contractual requirement or obligation to provide personal information to us via our Sites.
  • Contract – when you make a purchase or participate in our events or programming, we need to process your personal information in order to perform that contract.
  • Legitimate interests – when processing your personal information is necessary in furtherance of our legitimate interests and isn’t outweighed by risks of harm to your privacy rights. Our legitimate interests include, without limitation, those interests described in this Privacy Policy and our Terms of Use, such as the effective and lawful operation of our business, promoting our products and the Services, and operating, protecting, and customizing our Sites. We also process your personal information on the basis of our legitimate interests when responding to your requests, and when such processing is necessary for us to comply with any legal obligations. You have the right to object to processing of your personal information based on our legitimate interests.
  • Legal Claims – it is possible that we may need to process your personal information in order to defend or establish a legal claim (for example, claims relating to the sale of our goods and services under contract law).

EEA and UK Privacy Rights of Data Subjects

Where provided under EEA and UK data protection law, you have the following rights regarding your personal information (each of which are subject to various exceptions and limitations):

  • The right to be informed: You have the right to be provided with clear, transparent and easily understandable information about how we use your personal information, and about your rights. This is why we are providing you with the information in this Privacy Policy.
  • The right of access: You have the right to request access to your personal information (if we are processing it).
  • The right to data portability: You have the right to obtain an easily portable copy of your personal information for your own purposes across different services and platforms.
  • The right to rectification: You have the right to request to have your personal information corrected if it is inaccurate or incomplete.
  • The right to erasure: You have the right to request the deletion or removal of your personal information where we have no compelling reason to keep using it. This is not a general right to erasure; there are exceptions.
  • The right to restrict processing: You have the right to block or suppress further use of your personal information. When processing is restricted, we can still store your information (for example, we keep lists of people who have asked for further use of their information to be blocked to make sure the restriction is respected in future).
  • The right to object: You have the right to object to certain types of processing, in particular processing based on our legitimate interests. You also can object at any time to your information being used for direct marketing purposes (including profiling related to such direct marketing).
  • The right to refuse or withdraw consent: You have the right to refuse to provide, or to withdraw, your consent to processing of your personal information at any time with effect for future processing, when the processing is based on your consent.

If you wish to exercise any of these rights, or if you have any questions or concerns regarding our processing of your personal information, please contact us at info@polygraph.media.

If you are not satisfied with our response to your request or complaint, or if you believe our processing of your personal information does not comply with EEA or UK data protection law, you can make a complaint to a supervisory data protection authority. If you are a UK resident, you can make a complaint to the UK Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO): https://ico.org.uk/concerns. Non-UK residents can find their local data protection authority here: https://edpb.europa.eu/about-e….

8.3. Other Jurisdiction Privacy Rights.

Depending on where you reside or access the Sites or Services from, you may have additional privacy rights available to you, similar to the United States and EEA/UK rights described in Sections 8.1 and 8.2. If available pursuant to applicable data protection law, you may contact us at info@polygraph.media to make a request. We will respond in accordance with applicable data protection law.

9. Retention Period for Personal Information.

We delete personal information within a reasonable period after we no longer need to use it for the purpose for which it was collected (or for any subsequent purpose that is compatible with the original purpose). We may archive personal information for a certain period prior to its final deletion, as part of our ordinary business continuity procedures. To determine the appropriate retention period with respect to any particular type of personal information, we rely on the following criteria: the necessity of the information to provide our services to our customers; the types and sensitivity of personal information being processed; regulatory requirements that we are subject to, including laws and regulations related to tax, employment, accounting, and securities; and whether a legal claim might be brought against us, for which the information would be relevant.

10. No Children Under 13.

The Sites and Services are intended for a general audience and not directed to children under thirteen (13) years of age. Polygraph Media does not knowingly collect personal information from children under thirteen (13) years of age. If you are a parent or legal guardian and believe that we have inadvertently received personal information about a child under the age of 13, please email us at info@polygraph.media.

11. International Transfers; Processing in the United States.

If you are accessing the Sites or Services from outside of the United States, please be aware that information collected through the Sites and Services will be transferred to, processed in, stored in, and used in the United States. Data protection laws in the United States may be different from those of your country of residence, and may not be as protective as those of your country of residence. When you provide personal information to us, you are consenting to the transfer of your personal information by both Polygraph Media and its Service Providers, including to the United States and other countries that do not have an adequacy decision from the European Commission (this means that the Commission has not determined that the laws of the United States and other countries provide legal protection equivalent to European Union data protection laws).

Our transfers of personal information outside of the EEA or UK are subject to contracts (including the European Commission’s Standard Contractual Clauses) with our data processors, sub-processors, and Service Providers, which require such recipients to treat personal information in a manner that is consistent with our Privacy Policy and in compliance with applicable law.

12. Data Security.

We take measures designed to help protect information about you from loss, theft, misuse and unauthorized access, disclosure, alteration and destruction. Nevertheless, transmission via the internet is never completely secure. We cannot guarantee the security of your information collected through our Sites or Services.

13. Changes to this Privacy Policy.

We reserve the right to revise and reissue this Privacy Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting of the revised Privacy Policy. Your continued use of our Service indicates your acknowledgment of the Privacy Policy then posted. If the changes are material, we may provide you additional notice.

14. Contact Us.

If you have any questions or comments about this Privacy Policy, or would like to make a complaint about how we process your personal information, please e-mail us at info@polygraph.media. We will seek to address any questions, comments, or complaints as soon as possible.
