Amaca Tech, LLC.
Attention: DMCA

12. Controlling Law

This Agreement and any action related thereto will be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions.

13. Binding Arbitration

In the event of a dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement, the Content, or the Service (each, a “Dispute”), either party may elect to finally and exclusively resolve the dispute by binding arbitration governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). Any election to arbitrate, at any time, shall be final and binding on the other party. IF EITHER PARTY CHOOSES ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE SUCH CLAIM IN COURT OR TO HAVE A JURY TRIAL, EXCEPT EITHER PARTY MAY BRING ITS CLAIM IN ITS LOCAL SMALL CLAIMS COURT, IF PERMITTED BY THAT SMALL CLAIMS COURT’S RULES AND IF WITHIN SUCH COURT’S JURISDICTION. ARBITRATION IS DIFFERENT FROM COURT, AND DISCOVERY AND APPEAL RIGHTS MAY ALSO BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION. All disputes will be resolved before a neutral arbitrator selected jointly by the parties, whose decision will be final, except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted by JAMS pursuant to its then current Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures and in accordance with the Expedited Procedures in those rules, or, where appropriate, pursuant to JAMS’ Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures. All applicable JAMS’ rules and procedures are available at the JAMS website www.jamsadr.com. Each party will be responsible for paying any JAMS filing, administrative, and arbitrator fees in accordance with JAMS rules. Judgment on the arbitrator’s award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. This clause shall not preclude parties from seeking provisional remedies in aid of arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. If conducted in person, the arbitration shall take place in the United States county where you reside. The parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, to stay a proceeding pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. The parties shall cooperate in good faith in the voluntary and informal exchange of all non-privileged documents and other information (including electronically stored information) relevant to the Dispute immediately after commencement of the arbitration. As set forth in Section 16 below, nothing in this Agreement will prevent us from seeking injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect our proprietary interests.

14. Class Action Waiver

You agree that any arbitration or proceeding shall be limited to the Dispute between us and you individually. To the full extent permitted by law, (i) no arbitration or proceeding shall be joined with any other; (ii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated or resolved on a class action-basis or to utilize class action procedures; and (iii) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons. YOU AGREE THAT YOU MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST US ONLY IN YOUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

15. Equitable Relief

You acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened violation of our intellectual property rights and confidential and proprietary information by you, we will suffer irreparable harm and will therefore be entitled to injunctive relief to enforce this Agreement. We may, without waiving any other remedies under this Agreement, seek from any court having jurisdiction any interim, equitable, provisional, or injunctive relief that is necessary to protect our rights and property pending the outcome of the arbitration referenced above. You hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of California, Ventura County, for purposes of any such action by us.

16. Miscellaneous

Our failure to act on or enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of that provision or any other provision in this Agreement. No waiver shall be effective against us unless made in writing, and no such waiver shall be construed as a waiver in any other or subsequent instance. Except as expressly agreed by us and you in writing, this Agreement, including Schedule A, our Privacy Statement, and our Beta Disclaimer, constitutes the entire Agreement between you and us with respect to the subject matter, and supersedes all previous or contemporaneous agreements, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter. If any provision of this Agreement is deemed by a competent court or arbitrator to be invalid, void, or unenforceable, the parties agree that the court or arbitrator should endeavor to give effect to the parties’ intentions as reflected in the applicable provision, and any unenforceable provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provision. The section headings are provided merely for convenience and shall not be given any legal import. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of our successors, assigns, licensees, and sublicensees.

Schedule A – Amaca’s Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”)

Amaca respects free and open discussion and dissemination of information. When there are competing interests at issue, however, Amaca reserves the right to take certain preventative or corrective actions. In order to protect these competing interests, Amaca has developed this AUP, which supplements and explains certain terms in the Agreement and further defines your rights and obligations when utilizing the Service. This AUP may be revised from time to time, without any obligation to notify you of the same. Your use of Service after changes to this AUP are made available through the Service shall constitute your acceptance of any new or additional terms.

When you obtain information via the Service, you must keep in mind that we cannot, and do not make any attempt to, monitor, verify, warrant, or vouch for the accuracy and quality of the information that you may acquire. For this reason, you must exercise your best judgment in relying on information obtained from the Service, and also should be aware that some material may be offensive. Because we cannot monitor or censor the Service, and will not attempt to do so, Amaca shall not be responsible for injury to you that results from inaccurate, unsuitable, offensive, or illegal Content.

When you encrypt or decrypt information via the Service, you must keep in mind that Amaca does not review, edit, censor, or take responsibility for any information you may create. When you place information on the Service, you have the same liability as other authors for copyright infringement, defamation, and other harmful speech. Also, because the information you create is carried over networks and may reach a large number of people, your Content may affect other users and may harm our goodwill, business reputation, and operations. For these reasons, you violate this AUP and the Agreement when you engage in or facilitate the following prohibited activities:

1. Intellectual Property Violations. Using the Service to engage in any activity that infringes or misappropriates the intellectual property rights of others, including copyrights, trademarks, service marks, trade secrets, patents, or privacy or publicity rights held by individuals, corporations, or other entities. We are required by law to remove or block access to user content upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement. It is also our policy to terminate the privileges of users who violate copyright laws.

2. Obscene Speech or Materials. Using the Service to view, advertise, transmit, store, post, display, or otherwise make available child pornography or obscene speech or material. We are required by law to notify law enforcement agencies when we become aware of the presence of child pornography on or being transmitted through the Service.

3. Defamatory or Abusive Language. Using the Service as a means to transmit or post defamatory, harassing, abusive, or threatening language.

4. Spamming. Using the Service to send unsolicited bulk and/or commercial messages (known as “spamming”). Spamming is not only harmful because of its negative impact on consumer attitudes toward Amaca, but also because it can overload our networks and disrupt service to our other users. When a complaint is received, we have the discretion to determine from all of the evidence whether the recipients were from an “opt-in” email list.

5. Forging of Headers. Using the Service to forge or misrepresent message headers, whether in whole or in part, to mask the originator of the message.

6. Illegal or Unauthorized Access to Other Computers or Networks. Using the Service to access illegally or without authorization computers, accounts, or networks belonging to another party, or attempting to penetrate security measures of another individual’s system (often known as “hacking”). Also, any activity that might be used as a precursor to an attempted system penetration (i.e. port scan, stealth scan, or other information gathering activity).

7. Distribution of Internet Viruses, Worms, Trojan Horses, or Other Destructive Activities. Using the Service to distribute information regarding the creation of and sending Internet viruses, worms, Trojan horses, pinging, flooding, mailbombing, or denial of service attacks.

8. Export Control Violations. Using the Service to export encryption software to points outside the United States.

9. Other Unlawful Uses. Using the Service for any unlawful purpose, including, without limitation, advertising, transmitting, or otherwise making available Ponzi schemes, pyramid schemes, fraudulently charging credit cards, or pirating content.

10. Market Research. Using the Service to collect any market research for a competing business.

11. Interference. Taking any action that imposes or may impose (in our sole discretion) an unreasonable or disproportionately large load on our technical infrastructure; using automated means, including spiders, robots, crawlers, data mining tools, or the like to download or scrape data from the Website, except for Internet search engines (e.g., Google) and non-commercial public archives (e.g., archive.org) that comply with our robots.txt file; or interfering with or attempting to interrupt the proper operation of the Service through the use of any virus, device, information collection or transmission mechanism, software or routine, or access or attempt to gain access to any data, files, or passwords related to the Service through hacking, password or data mining, or any other means.

12. Other Activities. Using the Service to engage in activities, whether lawful or unlawful, that Amaca determines to be harmful to our users, operations, reputation, goodwill, or customer relations.

The responsibility for avoiding the harmful activities just described rests primarily with you. We do not (and cannot) read or monitor the Keys or Content of our users to ensure that they comply with the Agreement, this AUP, or applicable law. However, if we become aware of harmful activities, we may take any action to stop the harmful activity, including, but not limited to, removing information, denying access to the Website or Service, or taking any other action that we deem appropriate in our sole discretion.

We hope this AUP is helpful in clarifying your obligations as a responsible user of the Service. Any complaints about a user’s violation of this AUP should be sent to .
