COUNTER-NOTICE.

If you believe that your User Content or Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the content in your User Content or Content, you may send a written counter-notice containing the following information to the copyright agent of the copyright owner: (1) Your physical or electronic signature; (2) Identification of the User Content or Content, which has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the User Content or Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (3) A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Content or Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of such User Content or Content; and (4) Your name, address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the state court located within the Superior Court of Santa Clara or the federal court located within the United States District Court, Northern District of California; and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the copyright agent, we will send a copy of the counter-notice after our receipt of it to the original complaining party informing that it may replace the removed User Content or Content, or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed User Content or Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days, or more, after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion. 

WORKER CLASSIFICATION AND WITHHOLDING.

The Services are not an employment service and we are not an employer of any user. As such, we are not responsible for and will not be liable for any tax payments or withholding, including, but not limited to, unemployment insurance, social security, disability insurance, or any other applicable federal or state withholding in connection with your use of the Services.

DISPUTE RESOLUTION.

CoralTree is always interested in resolving disputes amicably and efficiently, and most of your concerns can be resolved quickly and to your satisfaction by emailing customer support at support@coraltreetech.com. If such efforts prove unsuccessful, parties may engage in good faith informal negotiations to resolve such disputes. If those negotiations fail, parties may seek mediation, and must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”). A Notice to CoralTree should be sent to support@coraltreetech.com. The Notice must: (1) Describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) Set forth the specific relief sought. If CoralTree and you do not resolve the claim through mediation within sixty (60) calendar days after the Notice is received, CoralTree or you may commence arbitration proceedings by providing to the arbitrator and the other party a written Notice that: (1) Describes the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (2) Sets forth the specific relief sought. During arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by CoralTree or you shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator determines the amount, if any, to which you or CoralTree is owed or entitled. If CoralTree and you do not resolve the claim through arbitration within thirty (30) calendar days after the arbitrator receives the Notice, either party may bring their dispute or claim to court in either the Superior Court of Santa Clara and/or the United States District Court, Northern District of California.

Unless provided otherwise in this Agreement or by law, the dispute resolution procedures included herein shall be the exclusive mechanism to resolve all disputes or claims arising under this Agreement. All of any disputes arising out of, touching upon, or in relation to this Agreement, including the interpretation and validity of the terms thereof and the respective rights and obligations of the parties, shall be exclusively settled by the dispute resolution procedures included herein. You agree that any and all disputes or claims that have arisen or that may arise between CoralTree and you, whether arising out of or relating to this Agreement (including any alleged breach thereof), the Services, any advertising, and/or any aspect of the relationship or transaction between us, shall be resolved exclusively under this Agreement, but you may assert individual claims in small claims court if your claims qualify. However, this Agreement does not preclude, if the law allows, seeking relief against us on your behalf. The parties agree to use their respective best efforts to resolve any dispute(s) that may arise regarding this Agreement.

NEGOTIATION.

CoralTree and you shall initially attempt to resolve all claims, disputes, or controversies arising under, out of, or in connection with, this Agreement by conducting good faith informal negotiations between the parties. Any dispute that arises under or with respect to this Agreement that cannot be resolved by contacting customer support shall in the first instance be the subject of good faith informal negotiations between the parties involved in the dispute. To this effect, parties shall consult and negotiate with each other in good faith and, recognizing their mutual interest, attempt to reach a just and equitable solution satisfactory to both parties. The dispute shall be considered to have arisen when one party sends the other party involved in the dispute the aforementioned written Notice within fourteen (14) days of the dispute arising. The period of good faith informal negotiations shall be fourteen (14) days from receipt of the written Notice unless such time is modified by written agreement of the parties involved in the dispute.

MEDIATION.

In the event that the parties involved in the dispute cannot resolve that dispute by good faith informal negotiations, the parties agree to submit their dispute to good faith mediation within fourteen (14) days of the negotiation’s end. Within fourteen (14) days following the expiration of the time period for good faith informal negotiations, the parties shall propose and agree upon a neutral and otherwise qualified mediator. In the event that the parties fail to agree upon a mediator, the parties shall request that the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) appoint a mediator. The mediation will be held in Santa Clara, California, or another mutually agreed upon venue in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination of the location shall be made by AAA. The period for mediation shall commence upon the appointment of the mediator and shall not exceed sixty (60) days from receipt of the Notice, unless such time period is modified by a written agreement between the parties. The decision to continue mediation shall be at the sole discretion of each party involved in the dispute. Although the parties will bear their own costs of mediation, mediator’s fees shall be shared equally by all parties involved in the dispute. The mediation decision is non-binding until a written mediation agreement, or consent order, is reached and/or sent to a court of appropriate jurisdiction.

ARBITRATION.

In the event that the parties cannot resolve their dispute by negotiation or mediation, the parties agree to submit their dispute to arbitration by providing Notice to the other party within fourteen (14) days of mediation’s end and agree that the arbitration process provided herein shall be the exclusive means for resolving disputes which the parties cannot otherwise resolve through negotiation or mediation as described above, except that parties may bring their disputes or claims to the Superior Court of Santa Clara or the united States District Court, Northern District of California if arbitration fails. Any arbitration will be conducted in the English language by a neutral arbitrator in accordance with the AAA rules and procedures, including the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (collectively, the “AAA Rules”), as modified herein. Whenever a party shall decide to institute arbitration proceedings, it shall provide the aforementioned written Notice to the other parties involved within fourteen (14) days of mediation’s end. Arbitration proceedings shall take place before a single arbitrator who shall be jointly selected by the parties. If the parties fail to agree upon an arbitrator within thirty (30) days of Notice receipt, either party may apply to the AAA office in Washington D.C. to select an arbitrator. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, the Notice must be submitted to the arbitrator for determination within ninety (90) days from the date the arbitrator is selected and the arbitrator shall render his or her decision within thirty (30) days after receipt of that Notice. Each party shall use its best efforts and cooperation such that the Notice is fully submitted to the arbitrator within such ninety (90) day period.

For information on the AAA, please its website (www.adr.org). Information about the AAA Rules and fees for consumer disputes can be found at the AAA’s consumer arbitration page (www.adr.org/consumer_arbitration). If there is any inconsistency between any term of the AAA Rules and any term of this Agreement, the applicable terms of this Agreement will control unless the arbitrator determines that the application of the inconsistent Agreement terms would not result in a fundamentally fair arbitration. The arbitrator must also follow the provisions of this Agreement as a court would. All issues are for the arbitrator to decide, including, but not limited to issues relating to the scope, enforceability, and arbitrability of this Agreement. Although arbitration proceedings are usually simpler, and more streamlined than trials and other judicial proceedings, the arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual under this Agreement. Decisions by the arbitrator are enforceable in court and may be overturned by a court only for very limited reasons.

Unless CoralTree and you agree otherwise, any arbitration hearings will take place in a reasonably convenient location for both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, the determination of the location shall be made by AAA. If your claim is for $10,000 of less, CoralTree agrees that you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based.

Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitration fees (collectively, the “Arbitration Fees”) will be governed by the AAA Rules, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $75,000 or less, at your request, CoralTree will pay all Arbitration Fees. If the value of relief sought is more than $75,000, and you are able to demonstrate to the arbitrator that you are economically unable to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees or if the arbitrator otherwise determines for any reason that you should not be required to pay your portion of the Arbitration Fees, CoralTree will pay your portion of such fees. In addition, if you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, CoralTree will pay as much of the Arbitration Fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive. Any payment of attorneys’ fees will be governed by AAA Rules.

The arbitration provisions included herein shall not prevent any party from obtaining injunctive or equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce the obligations for which such party may obtain provisional relief pending a decision on the merits by the arbitrator. Each of the parties hereby consents to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Santa Clara or the United States District Court, Northern District of California for such purpose. The arbitrator shall apply California law as required and shall have authority to award any legal or equitable remedy that a California court could grant in accordance with applicable law and the terms of this Agreement, except that the arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages. All attorney’s fees and costs of the arbitration shall be borne by the party incurring such costs or fees, except the upon application by the Prevailing Party, the arbitration shall award the prevailing party its attorneys’ fees and expenses to be paid by the other party. “Prevailing Party” shall be defined for the purposes of this Agreement as the party to which the arbitrator issues an award of legal or injunctive relief, or otherwise determines substantially prevailed on the merits in the arbitration. Any arbitration award shall be accompanied by a written statement containing a summary of the issues in controversy, a description of the award, and an explanation of the reasons for the award. The arbitrator’s award, if any, shall be final, binding, and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon such award by any court of competent jurisdiction.

In connection with any arbitration provisions hereunder, each party shall have the right to take the depositions of individuals including any expert witnesses retained by the other party. Additional discovery may be had where the arbitrator so orders, upon a showing of need. Each party bears the burden of persuasion of any claim or counterclaim raised by that party.

JUDICIAL PROCEEDINGS.

If resolving the dispute by arbitration fails to produce a binding settlement, parties may commence a suit, action, or other proceeding in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, or in the United States District Court, Northern District of California. The parties agree not to initiate legal proceedings in relation to a dispute unless they have tried and failed to resolve the dispute by contacting customer support, negotiation, mediation, and arbitration. The parties: (1) Hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submit to the jurisdiction of the Superior Court of Santa Clara County or the United States District Court, Northern District of California, for the purpose of any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement; (2) Agree not to commence any suit, action, or other proceeding arising out of or based upon this Agreement except in the Superior Court of Santa Clara County, or in the United States District Court, Northern District of California; and (3) Hereby waive and agree not to assert, by way of motion, as a defense, or otherwise, in any such suit, action, or other proceeding, any claim that is not subject to the jurisdiction of the above-named courts; that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution; that the suit, action, or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum; that the venue of the suit, action, or proceeding is improper; or that this Agreement or the subject matter hereof may not be enforced in or by such court.

CONFIDENTIALITY OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESSES. 

All aspects of the negotiation, mediation, and/or arbitration proceedings, and any rulings, decisions, or awards by the mediator and/or arbitrator, will be strictly confidential for the benefit of all parties.

All such proceedings are confidential. Neither Party shall disclose any information about the evidence produced by the other Party in the negotiation, mediation, and/or arbitration proceedings, except if necessary for judicial or regulatory proceedings, or as may be demanded by government authority, or otherwise required by state or federal law, or the rules of a national securities exchange. Before making any disclosure permitted by the preceding sentence, a Party shall give the other Party reasonable advance notice of the intended disclosure and give the other Party an opportunity to prevent disclosure. 

SEVERABILITY.

If any provision of this Agreement 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 this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

CONFLICT OF LAW.

This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of law provisions. With respect to any disputes or claims not subject to arbitration, as set forth above, you and CoralTree agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located within Santa Clara County, California. The failure of CoralTree to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in that provision, and the other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Services or this Agreement must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or to be forever waived. A printed version of this Agreement and of any notice given in electronic form will be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this Agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. You may not assign this Agreement without the prior consent of CoralTree, but CoralTree may assign or transfer this Agreement, in whole or in part, without restriction. The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect. Notice to you may be made via email or regular mail. The Services may also provide notices to you of changes to this Agreement or other matters by displaying notices or links to notices generally on the Services.

LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY.

IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR REPRESENTATIVES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY OR TO ANY PERSONNEL, SUBCONTRACTOR, OR OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY CLAIMING THROUGH SUCH PARTY UNDER ANY EQUITY, COMMON LAW, CONTRACT, ESTOPPEL, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR ANY OTHER THEORY (REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION) FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OR DISCLOSURE OF DATA, LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, OR LOSS OF OTHER ECONOMIC ADVANTAGE), OR THE COST OF PROCURING SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES ARISING OUT OF, RESULTING FROM, OR RELATING TO THE AGREEMENT, OR THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICE, EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, A PARTY’S BREACH OF CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, OR A PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY TO ANY PERSON, FIRM, OR CORPORATION WHATSOEVER ARISING OUT OF OR IN THE CONNECTION WITH ANY LICENSE, USE, OR OTHER EMPLOYMENT OF THE SERVICE, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED ON BREACH OR REPUDIATION OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL IN NO CASE EXCEED THE EQUIVALENT OF 12 MONTHS IN FEES APPLICABLE AT THE TIME OF THE EVENT.

 

INDEMNIFICATION.

Each party will indemnify the other, its officers, directors, or employees, and hold them harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, losses, costs, and damages (including without limitation court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) (collectively, the “Claims”) that the indemnified party or any of its officers, directors, or employees incur or suffer as a result of death or bodily injury, or to damage to tangible personal property, to the extent (a) arising under or related to this Agreement, and (b) caused by the negligence or willful misconduct of the indemnifying party or its employees, or breach of this Agreement by the indemnifying party.

CoralTree shall defend you against any Claims made or brought against you by a third party alleging that your use of the Services as permitted hereunder infringes any copyright or trademarks or misappropriates any trade secrets of any third party, and shall indemnify you for any damages finally awarded against, and for reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by you in connection with any such Claim.

You shall defend CoralTree against any Claims made or brought against CoralTree by a third- party alleging that your electronic communications or data, or your use of the Services, infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of any third-party, or violates applicable law, and shall indemnify CoralTree for any damages finally awarded against, and for reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred by CoralTree in connection with any such Claim.

As a condition to any indemnification under this Section 10, the indemnified party must: (1) Notify the indemnifying party promptly in writing of any such claim or proceeding; and (2) Give the indemnifying party full and complete authority, information, and assistance to defend such claim or proceeding at the expense of the indemnifying party, including sole control of the selection of counsel and the defense of any such claim or proceeding and all negotiations for its compromise or settlement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the indemnified party’s failure to give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any such claim or proceeding will only relieve the indemnifying party of its obligation to indemnify the indemnified party to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such failure.

This Section 10 states the indemnifying party’s sole liability to, and the indemnified party’s exclusive remedy against, the other party for any type of Claim described in this Section 10.

 

BASIS OF THE BARGAIN.

THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THE FOREGOING SECTIONS ON INDEMNIFICATION, WARRANTY DISCLAIMER, AND LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FAIRLY ALLOCATE THE RISKS BETWEEN THE PARTIES AND ARE ESSENTIAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN THE PARTIES. YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE FEES THAT CORALTREE CHARGES FOR THE SERVICES ARE BASED UPON CORALTREE’S EXPECTATION THAT THE RISK OF ANY LOSS OR INJURY THAT MAY BE INCURRED BY USE OF THE SERVICES WILL BE BORNE BY YOU AND NOT CORALTREE, AND WERE CORALTREE TO ASSUME ANY FURTHER LIABILITY OTHER THAN AS SET FORTH HEREIN, SUCH FEES WOULD OF NECESSITY BE SET SUBSTANTIALLY HIGHER. CERTAIN STATES AND/OR JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE EXCLUSIONS SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

 

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.

For purposes of this Agreement, confidential information shall include the terms of this Agreement and any information that is clearly identified in writing at the time of disclosure as confidential, or that reasonably should be understood to be confidential given the nature of the information and the circumstances of disclosure (“Confidential Information”). Each party agrees: (1) To keep confidential all Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party or by a third-party; (2) Not to use the Confidential Information of the other party except to the extent necessary to perform its obligations or exercise rights under this Agreement; and (3) To protect the confidentiality thereof in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of similar information and data of its own (at all times exercising at least a reasonable degree of care in the protection of such Confidential Information) and to make Confidential Information available to authorized persons only on a “need to know” basis. Either party may disclose Confidential Information on a need-to-know basis to its contractors who have executed written agreements requiring them to maintain such information in strict confidence and to use it only to facilitate the performance of their services in connection with the performance of this Agreement. Confidential Information shall not include information which: (1) Is known publicly; (2) Is generally known in the industry before disclosure; (3) Has become known publicly, without fault of the recipient, subsequent to disclosure by the disclosing party; or (4) The recipient becomes aware of from a third-party not bound by non-disclosure obligations to the disclosing party, and with the lawful right to disclose such information to the recipient. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 12 will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is permitted by law or order of a court or other governmental authority or regulation; provided the receiving party gives the disclosing party prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the disclosing party’s cost, if the disclosing party wishes to contest the disclosure.

 

FORCE MAJEURE.

Neither party shall be held liable for any delay or failure in performance of its obligations under this Agreement from any cause beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence, including, but not limited to, acts of God, acts of civil or military authority, government regulations, government agencies, delay or failure to receive government approvals, embargoes, epidemics, war, terrorist acts, riots, insurrections, fires, explosions, earthquakes, nuclear accidents, floods, power blackouts affecting facilities, unusually severe weather conditions, inability to secure products or services of other persons or transportation facilities, unavailability of or interruption or delay in telecommunications or third-party services (including Internet services), virus attacks or hackers, failure of third-party software (a “Force Majeure Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, the party whose performance is affected shall give written notice to the other party of such Force Majeure Event and the extent of the effect on the first party’s performance, and the parties shall promptly confer, in good faith, to agree upon equitable, reasonable action to minimize the impact on both parties of such Force Majeure Event, including, without limitation, implementing disaster recovery procedures. The parties agree that the party whose performance is affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the delay caused by the Force Majeure Events and recommence the affected performance. If the period of nonperformance exceeds thirty (30) days from the receipt of notice of the Force Majeure Event, the party whose performance has not been so affected may, by giving written notice, terminate this Agreement.
