(6) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed upon.

Counter Notification

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Site as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a “Counter Notification”).

To be an effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include substantially the following:

(1) identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;

(2) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located;

(3) a statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notification or the party’s agent;

(4) your name, address, and telephone number;

(5) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;

(6) your physical or electronic signature.

If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.

Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees. Filing a false Counter Notification constitutes perjury.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

 

IT IS IMPORTANT THAT YOU READ THIS ENTIRE SECTION CAREFULLY. THIS SECTION PROVIDES FOR RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF BY A JUDGE OR JURY. ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS. CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTION LAWSUITS ARE NOT ALLOWED.
Each party waives its right to a jury trial in any court action arising between the parties under these Terms and Conditions or otherwise related to these Terms and Conditions, whether made by claim, counterclaim, third-party claim, or otherwise.


Subject to this Section, all disputes between you and us must be resolved by final and binding arbitration. This agreement to arbitrate is intended to be given the broadest meaning under law and includes, but is not limited to, (i) disputes and claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of the relationship between you and us, whether based in statute, fraud, tort, contract, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, (ii) disputes and claims that arose before this or any prior agreement, and (iii) disputes and claims concerning the scope of this arbitration provision. The arbitration will be conducted by one arbitrator using the procedures described in this Section. The arbitration of any dispute shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and shall be governed by the AAA’s Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, as modified by this these Terms and Conditions, which are in effect on the date a dispute is submitted to the AAA. To the extent that such procedures differ from these Terms and Conditions, these Terms and Conditions shall govern to the fullest extent permitted by law. You have the right to be represented by counsel in an arbitration. In conducting the arbitration and making any award, the arbitrator shall be bound by and strictly enforce the terms of these Terms and Conditions and may not limit, expand, or otherwise modify their terms.

Before you take a dispute to arbitration, you must first write to us at:
8560 Cinder Bed Rd #100, Lorton, VA 22079


and give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute. Similarly, before we take a dispute to arbitration, we must first attempt to resolve it by contacting you. If the dispute cannot be satisfactorily resolved within thirty (30) days from the date you or we are notified by the other of a dispute, then either party may contact the AAA in writing and request arbitration of the dispute. Information about the arbitration process and the AAA’s Arbitration Rules and its fees are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be based only on written submissions of the parties and the documents submitted to the AAA relating to the dispute, unless either party requests that the arbitration be conducted using the AAA’s telephonic, online, or in-person procedures. Additional charges may apply for these procedures. Arbitrations under these Terms and Conditions shall be confidential as permitted by federal law. However, by filing for arbitration, you may elect to relieve both parties to the arbitration of confidentiality obligations. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator’s fees shall be deposited equally by the parties, but may be awarded by the arbitrator as provided in the AAA rules.
Nothing in this Section or otherwise shall preclude us from seeking any injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for protection of our intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights. You acknowledge and agree that our remedies at law for a breach or threatened breach by you of any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions would be inadequate and therefore agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach, in addition to any remedies at law, we shall, without posting any bond or other security, be entitled to obtain equitable relief in the form of specific performance, a temporary restraining order, a temporary or permanent injunction, or any other equitable remedy which may then be available.


All of our rights and remedies upon your breach or other default under these Terms and Conditions will be deemed cumulative and not exclusive of any other right or remedy conferred by these Terms and Conditions or by law or equity on us, and the exercise of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other.
