5.3. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS AND COUNTER-NOTICES

DOMESTIKA respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We have adopted the following policy toward copyright infringement related to the Services in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
If you believe in good faith the Site is hosting content that infringes your copyright, please let us know by submitting a notice to our Copyright Agent via email at copyright@domestika.org or in writing to Copyright Agent, 2001 Addison St. Suite 300 Berkeley, CA 94704). Your notice must contain ALL of the following:
  1. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (i.e., URL address).
  3. Contact information so that we can reach you (address, telephone number and email address).
  4. A statement by you that you have 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.
  5. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Before you file an infringement notice, please carefully consider whether or not the use of copyrighted material at issue is protected by the “fair use” doctrine, as you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. Please also check to make sure you haven’t authorized the use at issue (for example, whether you have given a creative professional who prepared materials for your company the right to use those materials as examples of his or her past work). If you are unsure whether a use of your copyrighted material constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. You may also wish to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the U.S. Copyright website www.copyright.gov or at the Lumen database website www.lumendatabase.org.
DOMESTIKA will respond to valid DMCA requests in an expeditious manner. In all cases, if you do not hear from us within 14 days of submitting a complaint, please contact us at the Web Form and we will respond as soon as possible.
After removing access to the material pursuant to a valid DMCA notice, DOMESTIKA will immediately notify the user responsible for the allegedly infringing material that it has removed or disabled access to the material. DOMESTIKA reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the account of any member who is the subject of repeated DMCA notifications.
If you believe access to your content was disabled or removed by DOMESTIKA as a result of an improper copyright infringement notice, please send our Copyright Agent (contact information above) a written counter‐notice that contains all of the following:
  1. A description of the work improperly removed, along with your user name and the location in the Site at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  2. Contact information so that we can reach you (address, telephone number and email address).
  3. A statement under penalty of perjury, signed by you, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. A statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the Southern District of New York and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Before you file a counter-notice, please carefully consider whether or not your use of the copyrighted material at issue is infringing, as you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees in the event that a court decides your counter-notice misrepresented that the material was removed by mistake.
If you are unsure whether use of the material at issue constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. In addition, you may wish to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the U.S. Copyright website www.copyright.gov or at the Lumen database website www.lumendatabase.org.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, DOMESTIKA will forward it to the notifying party who submitted the original DMCA notification. The original notifying party (or the copyright holder he or she represents) will then have ten (10) days to notify us that he or she has filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If DOMESTIKA does not receive any such notification within ten (10) days, we may restore the material to the Services.

6. MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT; TERMINATION

  • Remove any User Contributions or Submissions for any or no reason, in our sole discretion.

Fees may vary based on your location and other factors. If you are logged into your account, the currency you will see is based on your location when you created your account. However, the final fees charged to you will always be calculated in US dollars; therefore the final fees charged to you may vary depending on prevailing currency exchange rates offered by our payment providers.
We occasionally run promotions and sales for our content, during which certain content is available at discounted prices for a set period of time. The price applicable to the content will be the price at the time you complete your purchase of the content.

Additional conditions for DOMESTIKA PLUS are set forth in section 13.

12. REFUNDS


Please note that our refund policy differs between one-time payments for courses and DOMESTIKA PLUS (please refer to Section 13 for DOMESTIKA PLUS). However, the following guidelines apply to both: (i) Refunds are not available for accounts which violate this Terms of Use or, according to DOMESTIKA sole and absolute discretion, are otherwise objectionable; (ii) If DOMESTIKA determines that you are abusing our refund policy, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account and refuse or restrict any and all current or future use of the Service without delivering a refund.); (iii) To request a refund please contact us through our Web Form; (iv) DOMESTIKA will apply your refund to your original payment method; (v) Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to offer partial refunds for your purchases.
If within the first 14 days after you purchased a course you become dissatisfied with that course, DOMESTIKA will refund the full amount of your purchase and subsequently terminate your access to that course. Refunds will not be available if requested after this 14-day period. Due to possible currency exchange rate fluctuations with your local currency and the US dollar, the refunded amount may be slightly higher or lower than your original paid amount.
In addition to the above, if you purchase a course or purchase any other paid service through a mobile or third party marketplace (e.g., purchases through the Apple or Google Play App Store), the refund policy applicable to that third party marketplace will apply, unless otherwise explicitly stated by DOMESTIKA. Except as otherwise explicitly stated by DOMESTIKA, the third party marketplace will be solely responsible for making refunds under its refund policy and DOMESTIKA will have no refund obligations. DOMESTIKA disclaims any responsibility or liability related to any third party marketplace's refund policy or the third party's compliance or noncompliance with such policy.

Price changes will be effective on the next recurring purchase after the date of such changes. If you do not agree with the price change, you have the right to reject the change by cancelling your participation in DOMESTIKA PLUS before the next recurring purchase is generated. Therefore, please be sure to read any price change information carefully.

  • Cancellation and refunds: Your participation in DOMESTIKA PLUS will continue until cancelled. You may cancel your participation in DOMESTIKA PLUS through our website at any time before the next recurring purchase is generated (or the end of the free trial period). The cancellation will only take effect at the end of the term associated with your selected recurring purchase system (or at the end of your free trial) and you will continue to have access to the services included in your recurring purchase system until the end of that period. If you cancel your participation in DOMESTIKA PLUS before the new recurring purchase is generated, it will not be processed and you will not be charged. However, if the recurring purchase has already been generated, it will not be refunded. In this regard, we will not refund any purchase that has been generated prior to the cancellation of your participation in DOMESTIKA PLUS. As you can enjoy our Services immediately after registering in DOMESTIKA PLUS, DOMESTIKA does not offer a 14-day right of withdrawal for DOMESTIKA PLUS. You acknowledge that by registering with DOMESTIKA PLUS, you agree to the immediate provision of digital content and therefore lose your right of withdrawal.

14. GIFT CARDS


DOMESTIKA or our partners may offer gift cards that can be used to purchase our eligible courses subject to the terms included in your gift card. You must create or have an existing and valid DOMESTIKA account to redeem a gift card.
Gift cards offered by DOMESTIKA are not for resale without express written authorization from DOMESTIKA and are not refundable and may not be redeemed for cash or any cash equivalent, except as required by law. Gift cards offered by a partner are subject to that partner’s policies.
DOMESTIKA is not responsible for any lost or stolen gift cards or use without your permission. We may withdraw or cancel the gift card and require an alternative form of payment if we suspect that the gift card may have been stolen or fraudulently used. Further action may also be taken. The use of gift cards in any manner that states or implies that any person, website, business, product or service is endorsed or sponsored by, or otherwise affiliated with, DOMESTIKA is prohibited without DOMESTIKA’s prior written approval. Gift cards are not valid and will not be honored, and DOMESTIKA will not be liable, if obtained from unauthorized sellers, distributors or resellers.

TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PROVIDED BY LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL DOMESTIKA, ITS AFFILIATES OR THEIR LICENSORS, SERVICE PROVIDERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OFFICERS OR DIRECTORS BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, UNDER ANY LEGAL THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE, OR INABILITY TO USE, THE SITE, ANY WEBSITES LINKED TO IT, ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES OR ANY SERVICES OR ITEMS OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE OR SUCH OTHER WEBSITES, INCLUDING ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PERSONAL INJURY, PAIN AND SUFFERING, EMOTIONAL DISTRESS, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OR ANTICIPATED SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, AND WHETHER CAUSED BY TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), BREACH OF CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF FORESEEABLE.

SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN WARRANTIES OR THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. ACCORDINGLY, SOME OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IF YOU ARE DISSATISFIED WITH ANY PORTION OF THE SERVICE OR WITH THESE TERMS OF SERVICE, YOUR SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY IS TO DISCONTINUE USE OF THE SERVICE.

17. INDEMNIFICATION


You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless DOMESTIKA, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys' fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Service, including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Service’s content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Service.

18. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION


All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdiction).
Subject to Section 19, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the Southern District of New York or the courts of the State of New York, in each case located in the County of New York, although we retain the right to bring any suit, action or proceeding against you for breach of these Terms of Use in your country of residence or any other relevant country. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

19. DISPUTE RESOLUTION


Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and DOMESTIKA in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and DOMESTIKA agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Site or the Services or the purchase, receipt, order or use any of any course will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
Exceptions. Despite the provisions of the Section entitled “Generally” directly above, nothing in these Terms of Use will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (a) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (b) seek injunctive relief in a court of law; or (c) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
Arbitrator. Any arbitration between you and DOMESTIKA will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, and governed by the Commercial Dispute Resolution Procedures and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (collectively, “AAA Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”), as modified by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by U.S. Mail or electronic mail (“Notice”). DOMESTIKA’s address for Notice is: 2001 Addison St., Suite 300, Berkeley, CA 94704 or legal@domestika.org. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or DOMESTIKA may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or DOMESTIKA must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
No Class Actions. YOU AND DOMESTIKA 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. Further, unless both you and DOMESTIKA agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If DOMESTIKA makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to DOMESTIKA’s address for notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to DOMESTIKA’s address for notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and DOMESTIKA.

20. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS


ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

21. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY


No waiver of by DOMESTIKA of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of DOMESTIKA to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

22. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES AND ASSIGNMENT


You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement.
You may not assign this Terms of Use without the prior written consent of DOMESTIKA, but DOMESTIKA may assign or transfer this Terms of Use, in whole or in part, without restriction.

23. ENTIRE AGREEMENT


The Terms of Use constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and DOMESTIKA with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.

24. TIME USAGE


Unless expressly stated otherwise, in order to maintain a global standard and ensure consistency in our services, all deadlines and times reported by DOMESTIKA are based on UTC time.

25. LANGUAGE


Any version of these Terms in a language other than English is provided for convenience and you understand and agree that the English language will control if there is any conflict.
