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 the copyrighted work claimed to have
been infringed, or, if multiple 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

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

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
[us/our Designated Copyright Agent] using the contact information provided

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.

the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined to by the
arbitrator to be excessive, we will pay all arbitration fees and
expenses. 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 Burleigh County, North Dakota.
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 United States, North Dakota,
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 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 one (1) years 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.
Restrictions
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.
Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
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.
