15. Procedure For Making Claims of Copyright Infringement.

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and require our users to do the same. In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), we have adopted a policy to enable, at our sole discretion, the expeditious removal of infringing material and the termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.
If you have a good faith belief that your copyright is being infringed by any Content accessible on or through the Site, please send a notice of claimed infringement, including the information listed below, to our Designated Copyright Agent at:

• By email: lovjoypilates@gmail.com

To be effective, the notice of claimed infringement must include the following required contents:

• A physical or electronic signature of 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 are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity that is to be removed, or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (providing specific URLs is the best way to help us locate the Content quickly);
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as the address, telephone, and/or an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement that the information in the notification 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.

Please note that information provided in this legal notice may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing Content.

If you believe that your rights, or the rights of a third party, are being violated in any way by any Content accessible on or through the Site, please contact us at lovjoypilates@gmail.com

Where appropriate, we will work to prevent unlawful activity from taking place on or through the Site.

16. Indemnity.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Lovjoy Pilates, as defined above, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to actual attorney’s fees and costs) arising from: (i) Your Use of and access to the Site, including any data or Content transmitted, submitted, viewed, or received by you; (ii) your violation of any provision of these Terms and/or our Privacy Policy, including your breach of any of the representations and/or warranties contained in these Terms; (iii) your violation of any third party right, including any right of privacy or intellectual property rights; (iv) your violation of any applicable law, rule or regulation; (v) any claim or damages that arise as a result of any of your Content or any that is submitted via your Account; and/or (vi) any other party’s access and use of the Site and any of the Site’s Services and/or Content with your unique username, password or other appropriate security code. 

You hereby agree that we shall have the sole right and obligation to control the legal defense against any such claims, demands, or litigation, including the right to select counsel of our choice and to compromise or settle any such claims, demands, or litigation.

17. Released Parties.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you release Lovjoy Pilates, as defined above, from any and all responsibility, liability, claims, demands, and/or damages (direct, indirect, incidental, punitive, statutory, exemplary, special or consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in any way connected with the following: (i) disputes between users, including those between you and other users; (ii) third party sites and services, including Content found on such sites and services; (iii) disputes concerning any use of or action taken using your Account by you or a third party; (iv) claims relating to the unauthorized access to any data communications or Content stored under or relating to your Account, including unauthorized use or alteration of such communications or your Content. You also waive California Civil Code § 1542 which says:

A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS WHICH THE CREDITOR DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE, WHICH IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER MUST HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR.

You also waive any and all benefits and rights that would otherwise accrue to you by reason of the provisions of any federal or state statute or principle of common law of any province of Canada, or any political entity or nation, province or local law or regulation that may govern this release, which statute, regulation, law. You agree not to file any action or lawsuit inconsistent with the foregoing release.

18. DISPUTES AND DISPUTE RESOLUTION

All claims and disputes arising under or relating to this Agreement are to be settled by arbitration in the province of Quebec, Quebec city, before one Retired Judge, selected by both Lovjoy Pilates and you.

BINDING ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS WAIVER DISCLOSURE

Agreement to Arbitration; Class Waiver: You and we agree, except as provided below regarding small claims court proceedings, any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to the Site, Services and Content, including, but not limited to, the Site, the Content, products, Services and user interfaces, our Privacy Policy and/or our privacy practices generally, these Terms, and this Arbitration Agreement, shall be determined by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court, and is subject to very limited review by courts. YOU AGREE THAT, BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, THE Canadian  FEDERAL ARBITRATION ACT GOVERNS THE INTERPRETATION AND ENFORCEMENT OF THIS AGREEMENT, AND THAT YOU AND WE ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. This arbitration provision shall survive termination of these Terms.

Pre-Filing Mediation: In the event of a dispute, prior to initiating arbitration, the party asserting the claim must first send to the other, by overnight courier, a written Notice of Claim (“Notice”). If you are the claimant, the Notice to is must be addressed to: Alexandra Papavramidi, CEO, Lovjoy Pilates c/o Creations Unit, Inc. by emailing lovjoypilates@gmail.com. If we are the claimant, the Notice must be sent to the email address we have on file for you in your Account. The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. Following receipt of the Notice, each party agrees to negotiate with the other in good faith about the claim. If the claim is not resolved to the satisfaction of the claimant within sixty (60) days after Notice is provided, the claimant may pursue the claim in arbitration or file a claim in small claims court, as appropriate.

Additional Arbitration Provisions:

• Settlement Offers: During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or us shall not be disclosed to the arbitrator.
• Initiating a Claim: The form required to initiate an arbitration can be printed or downloaded from ADR Services.

The arbitrator
• Class Waiver: YOU AND WE AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and we agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate the claims of more than one party, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding. If this specific provision is found to be unenforceable as applied to any claim asserted by any individual, then the entirety of the arbitration provision set forth herein shall be null and void.
• Remedies; Injunctive Relief Limitation: The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide the relief warranted by that party’s individual claim. The arbitrator is not empowered to award punitive or exemplary damages, except where permitted by statute, and the Parties waive any right to recover any such damages. Judgment on the Award may be entered in the Province of Quebec in the City of Quebec.
• Small Claims Procedure Alternative: Notwithstanding the foregoing binding arbitration procedure, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court (provided the claim otherwise qualifies for such a program) as an alternative to proceeding with arbitration.
