COPYRIGHT POLICY

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 the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by GCH infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to GCH a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon GCH actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to GCH a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details.

These Terms and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the States of Colorado without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Certain portions of this section entitled “Dispute Resolution” (“this Section”) are deemed to be a “written agreement to arbitrate” pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act. You and GCH agree that we intend that this Section satisfies the “writing” requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This Section can only be amended by mutual agreement.

(a)  Attempt to Initially Resolve Disputes. If any controversy, allegation, or claim arises out of or relates to the Services, the Content, these Terms, or any Additional Terms, whether heretofore or hereafter arising (collectively, “Dispute”), or to any of GCH’s actual or alleged intellectual property rights, then you and we agree to send a written notice to the other providing a reasonable description of the Dispute, along with a proposed resolution of it. Our notice to you will be sent to you based on the most recent contact information that you provide us. But if no such contact information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no obligation under this Section. Your notice to us must be sent to: GCH, Inc., 3457 Ringsby Court, Unit 108, Denver, Colorado 80216 (Attn: Legal Department). For a period of sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of notice from the other party, GCH and you will engage in a dialogue in order to attempt to resolve the Dispute, though nothing will require either you or GCH to resolve the Dispute on terms with respect to which you and GCH, in each of our sole discretion, are not comfortable.

(b) Binding Arbitration. If we cannot resolve a Dispute as set forth in this Section within sixty (60) days of receipt of the notice, then ANY AND ALL DISPUTES ARISING BETWEEN YOU AND GCH MUST BE RESOLVED BY FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION. THIS INCLUDES ANY AND ALL DISPUTES BASED ON ANY PRODUCT, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING CONNECTED TO THE PROVISION OR USE OF THE SERVICES (WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, STATUTE, REGULATION, ORDINANCE, TORT – INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, NEGLIGENCE, FRAUD, ANY OTHER INTENTIONAL TORT OR COMMON LAW, CONSTITUTIONAL PROVISION, RESPONDEAT SUPERIOR, AGENCY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY – AND WHETHER ARISING BEFORE OR AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE TERMS. The Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) shall govern the arbitrability of all disputes between GCH and you regarding the Terms (and any Additional Terms) and the Services, including the No Class Action Matters section below. BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, EACH PARTY IS GIVING UP ITS RIGHT TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE ANY DISPUTE HEARD BY A JUDGE OR JURY. GCH and you agree, however, that Colorado or federal law shall apply to and govern, as appropriate, any and all claims or causes of action, remedies, and damages arising between you and GCH regarding these Terms and the Services, whether arising or stated in contract, statute, common law, or any other legal theory, without regard to Colorado’s choice of law principles.

A Dispute will be resolved solely by binding arbitration in accordance with the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), except as modified herein, and in accordance with the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be administered by the AAA. If an in-person arbitration hearing is required, then it will be conducted in the “metropolitan statistical area” (as defined by the U.S. Census Bureau) where you are a resident at the time the Dispute is submitted to arbitration. You and we will pay the administrative and arbitrator’s fees and other costs in accordance with the applicable arbitration rules; but if applicable arbitration rules or laws require GCH to pay a greater portion or all of such fees and costs in order for this Section to be enforceable, then GCH will have the right to elect to pay the fees and costs and proceed to arbitration. The arbitrator will apply and be bound by the Terms and any Additional Terms, and will determine any Dispute according to applicable law and facts based upon the record and no other basis, and will issue a reasoned award only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent to provide relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. Issues relating to the enforceability of the arbitration and class action waiver provisions contained herein are for the court to decide. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms or the Services. You can obtain AAA procedures, rules, and fee information as follows: 800.778.7879 and http://www.adr.org.

(c) Limited Time to File Claims. TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU OR WE WANT TO ASSERT A DISPUTE AGAINST THE OTHER, THEN YOU OR WE MUST COMMENCE IT (BY DELIVERY OF WRITTEN NOTICE AS SET FORTH IN (a) OF THIS SECTION WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE DISPUTE ARISES — OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED. Commencing means, as applicable: (i) by delivery of written notice as set forth above in (a) above; (ii) filing for arbitration with the AAA as set forth in (b) above; or (iii) filing an action in state or Federal court. The parties expressly waive any contrary statute of limitations or time bars, both legal and equitable, to the Disputes.

(d) Injunctive Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Section will not apply to any legal action taken by GCH to seek an injunction or other equitable relief in connection with, any loss, cost, or damage (or any potential loss, cost, or damage) relating to the Services, any Content, and/or GCH’s intellectual property rights and/or GCH’ operations.

(e)  No Class Action Matters. YOU AND GCH AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING OR AS AN ASSOCIATION. Disputes will be arbitrated only on an individual basis and will not be joined or consolidated with any other arbitrations or other proceedings that involve any claim or controversy of any other party. There shall be no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class action basis or on any basis involving Disputes brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public, or other persons or entities similarly situated. But if, for any reason, any court with competent jurisdiction holds that this restriction is unconscionable or unenforceable, then our agreement to arbitrate will not apply and the Dispute must be brought exclusively in court pursuant to (f) below.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section, any and all issues relating to the scope, interpretation and enforceability of the class action waiver provisions contained herein (described in this “No Class Action Matters” section), are to be decided only by a court of competent jurisdiction, and not by the arbitrator. The arbitrator does not have the power to vary these class action waiver provisions.

(f) Small Claims Matters Are Excluded From Arbitration Requirement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either of us may bring a qualifying small claim of Disputes in small claims court of competent jurisdiction.

(g) Federal and State Courts in Denver, Colorado. Except where arbitration is required as above, small claims actions, or with respect to the enforcement of any arbitration decision or award, any action or proceeding relating to any Dispute arising hereunder may only be instituted in state or Federal court in Denver, Colorado. Accordingly, you and GCH consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of such courts for such matters.

(h) Applicable Law. The Terms and any Additional Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with, and any Dispute will be resolved in accordance with, the laws of the Colorado, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.

 

ASSIGNMENT

You may not assign or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without GCH’s prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null and of no effect. GCH may assign or transfer these Terms, at its sole discretion, without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors and permitted assigns.

 

NOTICES

Any notices or other communications permitted to required hereunder, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be in writing and given: (i) by GCH via email (in each case to the address that you provide) or (ii) by posting to the Site. For notices made by e-mail, the date of receipt will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.

 

GENERAL

The failure of GCH to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of GCH. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
