5. Miscellaneous.

These Terms of Service constitutes the entire agreement between you and the Company with respect to the specific subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements or understandings of any kind with respect to the specific subject matter hereof.

This Website contains links to other websites offering third-party products. You acknowledge that the license to third-party products that you obtain through a link to this Website is a binding agreement between you and the applicable third-party provider. You acknowledge that: you are acquiring a license to each third-party product from the application provider; the Company is acting as agent for the application provider in providing each such third-party product to you; and the Company is not a party to the license between you and the application provider with respect to a third-party product. The application provider of each third-party product is solely responsible for that third-party product, the content therein, any warranties to the extent that such warranties have not been disclaimed, and any claims that you or any other party may have relating to that third-party product.

In the event that any provision or part of these Terms of Service shall be deemed void or invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the remaining provisions or parts shall be and remain in full force and effect.

The provisions of these Terms of Service are solely for the benefit of the parties hereto and not for the benefit of any third parties, except that the Company shall have the right to assign these Terms of Service and/or any of the rights herein and these Terms of Service shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Company’s assignee(s) hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.

No failure by either party to pursue any remedy resulting from a breach of any provision of these Terms of Service by the other party shall be construed as a waiver of that breach or as a waiver of any subsequent or other breach unless such waiver is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of the non-breaching party.

Any notice, demand or other communication which may or is required to be given under these Terms of Service must be in writing and must be: (i) personally delivered; (ii) transmitted by United States postage prepaid mail, registered or certified mail, return receipt requested; (iii) transmitted by reputable overnight courier service, such as Federal Express or UPS; (iv) transmitted by legible facsimile, with confirmation of receipt; or (v) transmitted by electronic mail, with confirmation of receipt.

The provisions of these Terms of Use are intended to be severable. If for any reason any provision of these Terms of Use shall be held invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part in any applicable jurisdiction, such provision shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without in any manner affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other jurisdiction or the remaining provisions hereof in any jurisdiction. The failure of the Company to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms of Use shall not operate as a waiver of such right or provision.

Any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of these Terms of Use or your use of the Website (each a “Claim”) shall be resolved through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, online or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. In such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Commercial Arbitration Rules (including without limitation the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes, if applicable), and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Alternatively, at the Company’s option, a Claim (including Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Marin County, California.

Any Claim shall be arbitrated or litigated, as the case may be, on an individual basis and shall not be consolidated with any Claim of any other party whether through class action proceedings, class arbitration proceedings or otherwise.

Each of the parties hereby knowingly, voluntarily and intentionally waives any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect of any litigation (including but not limited to any claims, counterclaims, cross-claims, or third party claims) arising out of, under or in connection with these Terms of Use. Further, each party hereto certifies that no representative or agent of either party has represented, expressly or otherwise, that such party would not in the event of such litigation, seek to enforce this waiver of right to jury trial provision. Each of the parties acknowledges that this section is a material inducement for the other party entering into these Terms of Use.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by the Company, including User Created Content, infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send the Company a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on this Website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow the Company to locate the material on the Website; (d) the name, address, telephone number and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) 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 (f) 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. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send the Company a counter-notice. Notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Notices with respect to this Website should be sent to: SCREENTAKES DIGITAL PUBLISHING, LLC, PO BOX 6091, SAN RAFAEL CA 94903. The Company suggests that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

These Terms of Service shall be governed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, County of Marin, applicable to agreements to be wholly performed therein, without giving effect to its laws governing conflict of laws, with jurisdiction and venue exclusive to the Superior Court of California, County of Marin located in San Rafael, California.
