Ubiquitools takes the intellectual property rights of others seriously and requires that users do the same. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act established a process for addressing claims of copyright infringement that have been implemented for the Website. If you own a copyright or have authority to act on behalf of a copyright owner and want to report a claim that a third-party is infringing that material on or through the Website, please send a notice to our copyright agent that includes all of the items below and we will expeditiously take appropriate action: a. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim is being infringed; b. A description of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access to which you want disabled and the URL or other location of that material; c. Your address, telephone number, and email address; d. The following statement: “I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material I am complaining of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)”; e. The following statement: “The information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed”; and f. An electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

The Company designated copyright agent to receive such claims can be reached as follows:

By mail: Copyright Agent Ubiquitools, LLC 30 Newbury Street, 3rd Floor Boston, MA 02116

By email: info@ubiquitools.com We may, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers.

This process does not limit Company’s ability to pursue any other remedies that may be available to address suspected infringement.

17. Changes.

We reserve the right to change or modify these Terms at any time and any changes will be effective upon being posted unless we advise otherwise. If we make any material changes to these Terms we will notify you by email (sent to the email address specified when you register) and/or by means of a notice on the Ubiquitools website prior to the change becoming effective. We encourage you to periodically review the Ubiquitools website for the latest Terms.

18. Force Majeure.

Ubiquitools will not be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by: an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by Ubiquitools, including hosting outages, denial of service attacks, domain downtime, payment gateway failure, email system downtime, or third-party service malfunctions; government restrictions (including the denial or cancellation of any export or other license); or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated Party (each a “Force Majeure Event”). Both you and Ubiquitools will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a Force Majeure Event.

19. Severability

The invalidity, illegality or unenforceability of any provision of these Terms will in no way affect the validity, legality or enforceability of any other provision.

20. Governing Law

These Terms and actions taken thereunder will be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, applied without regard to conflict of law principles.

21. Dispute Resolution

All disputes arising out of the Services must be submitted to binding arbitration in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts before an arbitrator appointed by the American Arbitration Association in a proceeding pursuant to that organization’s rules and in accord with its code of ethics. The judgment of the arbitrator will be final and not subject to appeal or review by any judicial or administrative process, and may not be vacated. Judgment upon the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. 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, and that the arbitrator may not consolidate proceedings of more than one person or entity’s claims. In the event of arbitration, the arbitrator will apportion liability for the cost of the arbitrator, other costs, and a reasonable attorney’s fee, in accord with the rules of the American Arbitration Association, this Agreement, and applicable law. In the event a party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitrator’s award, or fails to comply with the arbitrator’s award, the other party is entitled to costs of suit, including a reasonable attorney’s fee, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the arbitrator’s award.

22. Indemnification

You agree to fully defend, indemnify, and hold Ubiquitools (or its agents, successors, or assigns) harmless, including payment of all costs of defense, any judgment, fines or penalties, and any attorney’s fees or other costs imposed by a court, agency, or under a settlement agreement, against liability of any kind arising out of your use of the Services or breach of any of these Terms.

23. Successors and Assigns

These Terms will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, subject to the limitations set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, you may not assign this Agreement or your rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Ubiquitools.

24. Waiver

Any waiver of compliance with these Terms must be in writing, and waiver in one instance will not be deemed a waiver in any future instance.
