Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

This policy is intended to implement the procedures described in Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512 (“DMCA”) for the reporting of alleged copyright infringement. We respect the legitimate rights of copyright owners, their agents, and representatives. Users of any part of the Site are required to respect the legal protections provided by applicable copyright law.

Upon receipt of notification of claimed infringement, we will follow the procedures outlined herein and in the DMCA. Our “Designated Agent” to receive notification of alleged infringement under the DMCA is listed below. If you believe that your work has been copied and is accessible on the website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, notify us in writing:

Eyad Aboabdo
4320 N. Harbor Blvd
Fullerton, California 92835 USA
eyad@chubbygorilla.com

Any claim of copyright infringement should include sufficient information to enable us to evaluate your claim and to take appropriate action. A notice of alleged copyright infringement to the Designated Agent must include the following:

•   An electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

•   Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notice, a representative list of such works at that site.

•   Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.

•   Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.

•   A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the matter complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

•   A statement that the information in the notice 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.

•   Failure to include all of the above information may result in a delay of the processing or the DMCA notification.

It is expected that all users of any part of the Site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if we are notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise become aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, we will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. We will comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter notification is received by our Designated Agent. Under appropriate circumstances, we may, in our discretion, terminate authorization of users of the Site who are repeat infringers. It is our policy to accommodate and not interfere with standard technical measures we determine are reasonable under the circumstances, i.e., technical measures that are used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works.

Indemnification

You will not use the Site for any unlawful purpose, or for any purpose not permitted by these Terms and Conditions. You agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless us, our affiliates, successors, assigns, licensees and any of their officers, directors, employees, agents, subcontractors, licensors and suppliers, from any liability, loss, claim and expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) related to your violation of these Terms and Conditions, and/or the use of the Site by you or anyone using your account, password, login information, computer, or mobile device to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. To the  fullest extent permitted by applicable law, you are solely responsible for defending any claim, subject to our right to participate with counsel we select, and you will not agree to any settlement that imposes any obligation, liability or admission of guilt on our part without prior written consent of us. If you violate any provision of this section of the Terms and Conditions, we may terminate your access to the Site without notice, and you have indemnity obligations to us and other third parties entitled to indemnification as a result of your violation of these Terms and Conditions. This section, as well as other sections that are intended to survive, shall survive termination of your access to or use of the Site.  

Dispute Resolution

You agree that your use of the Site constitutes a transaction in interstate commerce and that any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to the use of this Site or to any acts or omissions for which you may contend we are liable, including but not limited to any claim or controversy as to arbitrability (“Dispute”), shall be finally, and exclusively, settled by arbitration pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq. This section is deemed to be a written agreement to arbitrate pursuant to the Federal Arbitration Act and is intended to satisfy the writing requirement thereunder. 

WITH RESPECT TO ANY DISPUTES WITH US, YOU GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS. YOU ALSO GIVE UP YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN OR BRING CLASS ACTIONS. YOUR RIGHTS WILL BE DETERMINED BY A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR AND NOT A JUDGE OR JURY.

The arbitration will be held before one arbitrator under the arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in force at that time. The arbitration will be conducted in Orange County, California. The arbitrator will be selected pursuant to the AAA rules. Should no AAA rule regarding the selection of an arbitrator be in effect, you will select an arbitrator from a panel of arbitrators acceptable to us. In any arbitration, we will pay the filing fee, plus the costs associated with the first day of arbitration, with the remaining costs of arbitration paid by the non-prevailing party. To begin the arbitration process, a party must make a written demand.

Any judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator will not have the power to multiply actual damages or award consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, and each party irrevocably waives any claim thereto. The agreement to arbitrate will not be construed as an agreement to the joinder or consolidation of an arbitration under these Terms and Conditions with an arbitration of disputes or claims of any non-party, regardless of the nature of the issues or disputes involved.

Should a dispute arise and should the arbitration provisions become inapplicable or unenforceable, you agree that jurisdiction over and venue of any suit will be exclusively in the state and federal courts sitting in Orange County, California. If either party employs attorneys to enforce any right in connection with any dispute or lawsuit the prevailing party is entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees.

Governing Law

You agree that all matters relating to your access to, or use of, the Site, and all matters relating to these Terms and Conditions are governed by the laws of the State of California, which apply in all respects, including statutes of limitation. No choice of law rules of any jurisdiction will apply to nullify this choice of law.

Unless otherwise specified in these Terms and Conditions or the Site, these Terms and Conditions constitute the entire agreement between you and us with respect to the Site and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic) between you and us with respect to the Site. If any part of these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable, that portion is construed in a manner consistent with applicable law to reflect, as nearly as possible, the original intentions of the parties, and the remaining portions remain in full effect. Additional terms may be agreed upon by you and us with respect to content available via the Site. Our failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms and Conditions does not constitute a waiver of that right or provision. No single or partial exercise of right or remedy shall prevent or restrict the further exercise of that or any other right or remedy.

Assignment

We may assign these Terms and Conditions, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice to you. You may not assign these Terms and Conditions or assign, transfer or sublicense your rights, if any, in the Site.

Other Agreements

In the event you enter into an agreement with product specific terms, such agreement will apply. If there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms applicable for a particular product or service, or portion of the Site, the latter terms shall control with respect to your use of the product, service or portion of the Site.
