Applicable Law and Venue

This Terms of Service and any transactions on this Service and the Privacy Policy shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, without resort to its conflict of law provisions. Except as provided for in the “Dispute Resolution” section seen below, You agree that any action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service shall be only in state or federal court located in Washington, DC and you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of such courts over any action arising out of or relating to these Terms of Service.

Dispute Resolution and Arbitration

You agree to first try to resolve any dispute informally by contacting us at info@rivetingwomen.com. We will respond to you by email and attempt to resolve disputes you submit to us. If a dispute you present to us is not resolved within 30 days of the first email submission regarding the dispute, formal proceedings may be initiated according to the following terms.

The parties agree to resolve any claims relating to or arising out of use of the Service, these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and any other agreement related to the Service through final and binding arbitration, except as provided below. The American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in Maryland or any other location the parties may agree to. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. We will not seek our attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous. Either party may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Maryland. Either party may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Services, or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute- resolution process described above. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by clicking here [add link] and submitting the opt-out form within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Service. You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations aren’t allowed. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, the parties agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Maryland. The parties agree and consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there as noted in the “Applicable Law and Venue” provision of these Terms of Service, seen immediately above.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Without limiting the foregoing, and in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), it is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances as determined in our sole discretion, subscribers or account holders who we determine are repeat infringers. If you believe your copyright has been violated by material uploaded by a user of the Service, please email us at info@rivetingwomen.com.

If you are a copyright owner or authorized agent and believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Service in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or if you believe that your rights have otherwise been violated by the Service, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3) for further detail):
