  1. Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement

 

DMCA Compliance: If you believe in good faith that your copyrighted work has been reproduced and is accessible on the Platform or through the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our DMCA Agent with a written communication containing the following information:

 

(a) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;

(b) identification of the allegedly infringing material on the Platform that is requested to be removed;

(c) your name, address and daytime telephone number, and an e-mail address if available, so that we may contact you if necessary;

(d) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by you or the law;

(e) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are, or are authorized to act on behalf of, the owner of an exclusive copyright right that is allegedly infringed; and

(f) an electronic or physical signature of you or someone authorized on the copyright owner’s behalf, to assert infringement of copyright and to submit the statement.

 

Claims of infringement which include the above required information must be submitted via postal mail or e-mail to TGSC’s DMCA Agent as follows: connect@thegatheringspot.club.

 

We reserve the right to remove any posted submission that infringes the copyright of any person under the laws of the United States upon receipt of a notice that complies with the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). United States law provides significant penalties for submitting such a statement falsely.

This Limitation of Liability shall be to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law.

  1. Arbitration Agreement: PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH TGSC AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US. Both you and TGSC acknowledge and agree that for the purposes of any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms, TGSC’s officers, directors, employees and independent contractors (“Personnel”) are third party beneficiaries of these Terms, and that upon your acceptance of these Terms, Personnel will have the right (and will be deemed to have accepted the right) to enforce these Terms against you as the third party beneficiary hereof.

 

(a) Arbitration Rules; Applicability of Arbitration Agreement. Any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in Fulton County, Georgia. The arbitration will proceed in the English language, in accordance with the Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures of Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes, who shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators in accordance with such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any court of competent jurisdiction.

(b) Costs of Arbitration. The JAMS rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. The parties shall initially equally split all arbitration fees. The prevailing party will be entitled to receive the costs of the arbitration as well as payment of the other party’s attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration.

(c) Small Claims Court. Furthermore, either you or TGSC may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Fulton County, Georgia.

(d) Waiver of Jury Trial. YOU AND TGSC WAIVE ANY CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR JURY. You and TGSC are instead choosing to have claims and disputes resolved by arbitration. Arbitration procedures are typically more limited, more efficient, and less costly than rules applicable in court and are subject to very limited review by a court. In any litigation between you and TGSC over whether to vacate or enforce an arbitration award, YOU AND TGSC WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, and elect instead to have the dispute be resolved by a judge.

(e) Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions. ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE MEMBER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER MEMBER OR USER. If however, this waiver of class or consolidated actions is deemed invalid or unenforceable, neither you nor we are entitled to arbitration; instead all claims and disputes will be resolved in a court as set forth in (g) below.

(f) Opt-out. You have the right to opt out of the provisions of this Section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: 384 Northyards Blvd., NW 30313 postmarked within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. You must include (1) your name and residence address; (2) the email address and/or telephone number associated with your account; and (3) a clear statement that you want to opt out of these Terms’ arbitration agreement.

(g) Exclusive Venue. If you send the opt-out notice in (f), and/or in any circumstances where the foregoing arbitration agreement permits either you or TGSC to litigate any dispute arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms in court, then the foregoing arbitration agreement will not apply to either party and both you and TGSC agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the state or federal courts located in, respectively, Fulton County, Georgia, or the Northern District of Georgia.

 

  1. Governing Law and Disputes: Any dispute between you and TGSC arising out of or relating to these Terms, the Privacy Policy, the Platform or its Services shall be governed by, and will be construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, without regard to choice of law principles. You agree to submit to the jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts located in Fulton County, Georgia. The Platform is controlled within the United States of America and is directed to individuals residing in the United States. Those who choose to access the Platform from locations outside of the United States do so on their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws. TGSC reserves the right to limit the availability of the Platform for any person, geographic area or jurisdiction at any time in its sole discretion. We reserve the right to disclose any information about you or your use of the Platform in connection with any investigations by us or law enforcement authorities as may be appropriate or necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request.

 

  1. Miscellaneous: If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be struck and the remaining provisions shall be enforced. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. TGSC’s failure to act with respect to any failure by you or others to comply with these Terms does not waive TGSC’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar failures. These Terms, together with the Privacy Policy and Cancellation Policy (herein) set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and TGSC with respect to the subject matter hereof. You may not assign or transfer your rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of TGSC, and any assignment or transfer in violation of this provision shall be null and void. TGSC reserves the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms or special terms or rules set forth on the Platform, including without limitation the right to block access from a particular internet address.

 

Except as expressly set forth in the section the arbitration agreement, you and TGSC agree there are no third party beneficiaries intended under these Terms.[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”50″ image_repeat=”no-repeat”][/vc_column][/vc_row]
