practical.
We respect the intellectual property rights of
others. If you believe that any material available on or through the Site
infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify our
Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a
“Notification”). A copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who
posted or stored the material addressed in the Notification. Please be advised
that pursuant to federal law you may be held liable for damages if you make
material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material
located on or linked to by the Site infringes your copyright, you should
consider first contacting an attorney.
All Notifications should meet the requirements
of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the following information: (1) A
physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the
owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of

copyrighted works on the Site are covered by the Notification, a representative
list of such works on the Site; (3) identification of the material that is
claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that
is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information
reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (4) information
reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an
address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which the
complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party
has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is
not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (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.
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; and (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.

damage, or inconvenience caused by your inability to access or use the Site
during any downtime or discontinuance of the Site. Nothing in these Terms of
Use will be construed to obligate us to maintain and support the Site or to
supply any corrections, updates, or releases in connection therewith.
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site are
governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements made and to
be entirely performed within the State of California, without regard to its
conflict of law principles.
Option 1: Any legal action of whatever nature brought by
either you or us (collectively, the “Parties” and individually, a “Party”)
shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Los
Angeles County,CA, and the Parties hereby consent to,
and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such
state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer
Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use. In no
event shall any claim, action, or proceeding brought by either Party related in
any way to the Site be commenced more than 1 year after the cause of action
arose.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of
any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a
"Dispute" and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or
us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree
to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
provided below) informally for at least 30 days before initiating arbitration.
Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the
other Party.
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute
through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly
excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding
arbitration. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE
RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced
and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your
arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by
the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer
Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of
documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing,
but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party.
The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if
the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the
applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Los
Angeles County, CA. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may
litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration,
or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the
arbitrator.
If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court
rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the
state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, CA, and the Parties
hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and
forum non conveniens with respect to venue and
jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the
Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these
Terms of Use.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either
Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than 1 year after the
cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling
within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and
such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
To expedite resolution and control the cost of
any dispute, controversy or claim related to these Terms of Use (each a
"Dispute" and collectively, “Disputes”), any Dispute brought by
either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”)
shall be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration. YOU

If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court
rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the
state and federal courts located in Los Angeles County, CA, and the Parties
hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of, personal jurisdiction,
and forum non conveniens with respect to venue and
jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the
Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these
Terms of Use.
In no event shall any Dispute brought by either
Party related in any way to the Site or Services be commenced more than 1 year
after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or
unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling
within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and
such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the
courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the
personal jurisdiction of that court.
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be
limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent
permitted by law, (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
(b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a
class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (c) there is no
right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative
capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
The Parties agree that the following Disputes
are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and
binding arbitration: (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or
concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
(b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy,
invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and (c) any claim for injunctive relief.
If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party
will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this
provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be
decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for
jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court.
