- (a) provide your physical or electronic signature;
- (b) identify the copyrighted work that you believe is being infringed;
- (c) identify the item that you think is infringing your work and include sufficient information about where the material is located so that eGiftify can find it;
- (d) provide us with a way to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, or email;
- (e) provide a statement that you believe in good faith that the item you have identified as infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law to be used in connection with the Services; and
- (f) provide a statement that the information you provide in your notice is accurate, and that (under penalty of perjury) you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner whose work is being infringed.
- eGiftify cannot take action unless you have given it all the required information.?Any substantial delay or lack of proper documentation will constitute a waiver of your rights to pursue a remedy for any infringement.
19.?Severability. If any of the provisions, or portions thereof, of this Agreement are found to be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, then, that provision (or portion thereof) notwithstanding, this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and such provision or portion thereof shall be deemed omitted.
20.?Assignment. This Agreement and the rights granted and obligations undertaken hereunder may not be transferred, assigned, or delegated in any manner by User, but may be freely transferred, assigned, or delegated by eGiftify.
21.?Waiver. Any waiver of any provision of this Agreement, or a delay by any party in the enforcement of any right hereunder, shall neither be construed as a continuing waiver nor create an expectation of non-enforcement of that or any other provision or right.
22.?ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND JURY TRIAL WAIVER, CLASS ACTION WAIVER, AND FORUM SELECTION CLAUSE. If you are a resident of the United States (including its possessions and territories) or Canada, you agree that any and all controversies, disputes, demands, counts, claims, or causes of action (including the interpretation and scope of this clause, and the arbitrability of the controversy, dispute, demand, count, claim, or cause of action) between you and the eGiftify Parties or their successors or assignees shall exclusively be settled through binding and confidential arbitration. If you are a resident in Mexico, you hereby expressly waive any right to exercise a class action before a Mexican court?against?eGiftify?and?eGiftify?Parties, pursuant to the terms of the Federal Code of Civil Procedure (CódigoFederal de?ProcedimientosCiviles) and any other applicable Mexican legislation.
Arbitration shall be subject to the Federal Arbitration Act and not any state or provincial/territorial arbitration law. The arbitration shall be conducted before one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving commercial contract disputes from the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). As modified by this Agreement, and unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties in writing, the arbitration will be governed by the AAA’s?Commercial Arbitration Rules?and, if the arbitrator deems them applicable, the?Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes?(collectively, the "Rules and Procedures").
In the case of arbitration and where permitted by law, you are thus agreeing to GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT to assert or defend your rights EXCEPT for matters that you file in small claims court. Your rights will be determined by a NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR and NOT a judge or jury. You are entitled to a?FAIR HEARING, BUT the arbitration procedures are?SIMPLER AND MORE LIMITED?THAN RULES APPLICABLE IN COURT. Arbitrator decisions are as enforceable as any court order and are subject to?VERY LIMITED REVIEW?BY A COURT.
In the case of arbitration and where permitted by law, you and eGiftify must abide by the following rules:?
- (1) ANY CLAIMS BROUGHT BY YOU OR EGIFTIFY MUST BE BROUGHT IN THE PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND?NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER?IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING;
- (2) THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, MAY NOT OTHERWISE PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND MAY NOT AWARD CLASS-WIDE RELIEF;
- (3) in the event that you are able to demonstrate that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to costs of litigation, eGiftify will pay as much of your filing and hearing fees in connection with the arbitration as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to the cost of litigation;
- (4) eGiftify also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all of the costs of the arbitration;
- (5) the arbitrator shall honor claims of privilege and privacy recognized at law;
- (6) the arbitration shall be confidential, and neither you nor eGiftify may disclose the existence, content or results of any arbitration, except as may be required by law or for purposes of enforcement of the arbitration award;
- (7) the arbitrator may award any individual relief or individual remedies that are permitted by applicable law; and
- (8) each side pays its own attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid its fees and litigation expenses, and, in such instance, the fees and costs awarded shall be determined by the applicable law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either you or eGiftify may bring an individual action in small claims court. Further, claims of defamation, violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, and infringement or misappropriation of the other party’s patent, copyright, trademark, or trade secret shall not be subject to this arbitration agreement. Such claims shall be exclusively brought in the state or federal courts located in Arkansas. Additionally, notwithstanding this agreement to arbitrate, either party may seek emergency equitable relief before the state or federal courts located in Arkansas in order to maintain the status quo pending arbitration, and hereby agree to submit to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Arkansas for such purpose. A request for interim measures shall not be deemed a waiver of the right to arbitrate.
With the exception of?eGiftify Parties (1) and (2) in this Section (prohibiting arbitration on a class or collective basis), if any part of this arbitration provision is deemed to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the Rules and Procedures, then the balance of this arbitration provision shall remain in effect and shall be construed in accordance with its terms as if the invalid, unenforceable, illegal or conflicting part was not contained herein. If, however, either subpart (1) or (2) is found to be invalid, unenforceable, or illegal, then the entirety of this arbitration provision shall be null and void, and neither you nor eGiftify shall be entitled to arbitration. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration (including any claims brought by parties outside the United States or Canada), the dispute shall be exclusively brought in state or federal court located in Arkansas.
For more information on AAA, the Rules and Procedures, or the process for filing an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at?https://www.adr.org.
