Copyrights and Copyright Agent
We have adopted a policy that provides for the possible termination in appropriate circumstances of users and account holders who infringe the rights of copyright holders of Proprietary Content or User Content. If you believe that your work appearing on the Service has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Copyright Agent with the following information required by the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, (“DMCA”) 17 U.S.C. 512:
a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
a description of the location where the material that you claim is infringing is located;
a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the reported use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law;
your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address but only if you are 13 or older (if you are not yet 13, your parent or guardian should provide the parent or guardian’s name, address, telephone number and, if available, email address);
a statement by you (or by your parent or guardian if you are under the age of majority in your state of residence), made under penalty of perjury, that the above information is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf; and an electronic or physical signature by the person making the submission (i.e., you or such other person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright holder). If the submission is made electronically, to satisfy the signature requirement please designate the electronic signature by typing a forward slash before and after the name of the authorized person making the submission (e.g., /Jane Doe/).
Upon receipt of information from you that substantially complies with all of the requirements set forth above, we will investigate your claim and respond expeditiously. If we determine that the material cited by you constitutes copyright infringement, we will remove, or “take down” the infringing material. At that point we will notify the individual who uploaded the alleged infringing material, as required by statute, and allow them the opportunity to take advantage of the “counter-notice” and “put-back” provisions of the DMCA. Please do not contact our DMCA copyright agent for inquiries other than those relating to alleged copyright infringement

- SEVERABILITY
The provisions of this Agreement are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part in any jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any of the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction.
- APPLICABLE LAW; JURISDICTION
The Service is created and controlled by us in the State of California, and resides on servers in California. As such, the laws of the State of California will govern this Agreement, without giving effect to any principles directing the choice of another jurisdiction’s laws. The parties understand and agree that the exclusive venue shall be Los Angeles, California.
- BINDING ARBITRATION AND NO CLASS ACTIONS
Subject to our right to seek provisional remedies or injunctive relief is provided below, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any related agreement, their enforcement or interpretation, or because of an alleged breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of their provisions, shall be determined by binding arbitration. The arbitration proceedings shall be held and conducted by a single arbitrator in accordance with the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of JAMS (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this Agreement. Such arbitration shall occur in Los Angeles, California and may be initiated by any party in accordance with the JAMS Rules. The demand for arbitration shall be made by any party hereto within a reasonable time after the claim, dispute or other matter in question has arisen, and in any event shall not be made after the date when institution of legal proceeding, based on such claim, dispute or other matter in question, would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations. The arbitrator shall render a decision within twenty (20) days after the conclusion of the hearing(s). In reaching a decision, the arbitrator shall have no authority to change, extend, modify or suspend any of the terms of this Agreement, or to grant an award or remedy any greater than would be available from a court under the statutory or common law theory asserted. The arbitrator shall apply the substantive law (and the law of remedies, if applicable) of California or federal law, or both, as applicable to the claim(s) asserted. It is the arbitrator’s responsibility to allocate all costs and expenses of the arbitration (including legal and accounting fees and expenses of the respective parties) to the parties in the proportions that reflect their relative success on the merits (including the successful assertion of any defenses). The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion that includes the factual and legal basis for any decision and award. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, we may seek, from a court of competent jurisdiction, provisional remedies or injunctive relief in order to protect our intellectual property rights and to support our rights and remedies hereunder without waiving any right to arbitration.
Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. There shall be no right or authority for any dispute to be arbitrated or otherwise brought on a class action basis or on any basis involving disputes brought to a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply unless we consent to arbitrate.
All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, except that issues relating to the scope and enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of this Agreement or the Service.
- INDEMNITY
You agree to indemnify and hold us, our Providers, and our and their subsidiaries, affiliates, and respective officers, agents, partners and employees, harmless from any loss, liability, claim, or demand, including attorneys’ fees, made by any third party due to or arising out of: (i) your use of the Service in violation of this Agreement ; (ii) your breach of this Agreement; (iii) any breach of your representations and warranties set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) any User Content that you post on or through the Service or otherwise submit to us.

Therefore, you should review the posted terms each time you use the Service (at least prior to each transaction or submission). Any new terms or Additional Terms will be effective as to new use and transactions as of the time that we post them, or such later date as may be specified in them or in other notice to you. However, the terms (and any applicable Additional Terms) that applied when you previously used the Service will continue to apply to such prior use and any specific term to which we previously committed to apply those terms (if applicable) (i.e., changes and additions are prospective only) unless mutually agreed. In the event any notice to you of new, revised or additional terms is determined by a tribunal to be insufficient, the prior agreement shall continue until sufficient notice to establish a new agreement occurs. You should frequently check the home page, your account page (if applicable), and the e-mail you associated with your account (if applicable) for notices, all of which you agree are reasonable manners of providing you notice. You can reject any new, revised or additional terms by discontinuing use of the Service.
