J.
Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright or Other Intellectual
Property Infringements
New
Leaf respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of
intellectual property very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same.
Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Service.
New
Leaf’s intellectual property policy is to remove or disable access to material
that New Leaf believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property
owner or his or her agent, is infringing the intellectual property of a third
party by being made available through the Service.
New
Leaf has discretion to terminate the Account of any user after receipt of a
single notification of claimed infringement or upon New Leaf’s own
determination.
If
you believe that any content made available on or through the Service has been
used or exploited in a manner that infringes an intellectual property right you
own or control, then please promptly send a "Notification of Claimed
Infringement" containing the following information to the Copyright Agent
identified below. Your Notification of Claimed Infringement may be shared by
New Leaf with the user alleged to have infringed a right you own or control,
and you hereby consent to New Leaf making such disclosure. Your communication
must include substantially the following:
•
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of
the owner of the work(s) that has/have been allegedly infringed;
•
Identification of works or materials being infringed, or, if multiple works are
covered by a single notification, then a representative list of such works;
•
Identification of the specific material that is claimed to be infringing or to
be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to
which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit New
Leaf to locate the material;
•
Information reasonably sufficient to permit New Leaf to contact you, such as an
address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which
you may be contacted;
•
A statement that you have 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 you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You
should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your
obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.
New
Leaf’s Copyright Agent (DMCA designated agent) for receipt of Notifications of
Claimed Infringement can be contacted at:
Via
email: newleafpublish@gmail.com
Via
U.S. mail: New Leaf Attention: Copyright Agent 1277 Borregas
Ave Sunnyvale, CA 94089
Regarding
counter notification, if you receive a notification from New Leaf that material
made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a notification
of claimed infringement, then you will have the right to provide New Leaf with
what is called a “counter notification.” To be effective, a Counter
Notification must be in writing, provided to New Leaf’s Copyright Agent through
one of the methods identified above and include substantially the following
information:
•
A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber;
•
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has
been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was
removed or access to it was disabled;
•
A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith
belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
•
The subscriber's name, address and telephone number, and a statement that the
subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the
judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber's address
is outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which New
Leaf may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from
the person who provided notification under Section 9.d above or an agent of
such person.
A
party submitting a counter notification should consult a lawyer or see 17
U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter
notification under the Copyright Act.
If
you submit a counter notification to New Leaf in response to a notification of
claimed infringement, then New Leaf will promptly provide the person who
provided the notification of claimed infringement with a copy of your counter
notification and inform that person that New Leaf will replace the removed User
Content or feedback or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and
New Leaf will replace the removed User Content or feedback and cease disabling
access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following
receipt of the counter notification, unless New Leaf’s Copyright Agent receives
notice from the party that submitted the notification of claimed infringement
that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the User
from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on New Leaf’s
system or network.
The
U.S. Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)) provides that:
Any
person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the
Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing,
or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or
misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and
attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or
copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured
by such misrepresentation, as the result of the service provider relying upon
such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or
activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or
ceasing to disable access to it.
New
Leaf reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a
notification of claimed infringement or counter notification in violation of
the law (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).

extent that New Leaf or any other New Leaf Party may not, as a matter of
applicable law, disclaim any warranty, limit or exclude its liability or the
scope and duration of such warranty as set forth in these Terms of Service, New

such applicable law.

and agree that New Leaf is not responsible or liable for: (i)

U.
Which laws apply to this contract and where you may bring legal proceedings.:
These
Terms of Use and any action related thereto or to the Service will be governed
by the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws provisions. In the event any litigation arises out of
these Terms of Use, the parties hereto consent to the personal jurisdiction of
all federal and state courts located in Santa Clara County, California and to
the same courts as the exclusive venue for such litigation. The parties
specifically disclaim application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts
for the International Sale of Goods. You acknowledge that the rights granted
and obligations made to New Leaf under these Terms of Use are of a unique and
irreplaceable nature, the loss of which may result in immediate and irreparable
harm to New Leaf for which remedies at law are inadequate. New Leaf shall
therefore be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief (without the
obligation to post any bond or surety) in the event of any breach or
anticipatory breach by you. You irrevocably waive all rights to seek injunctive
or other equitable relief. Any claim under these Terms of Use must be brought
within one (1) year after the cause of action arises. The preceding provision
regarding applicable law and venue does not apply if you are a consumer based
in the European Union. If you are based in the European Union, these Terms of
Use will be subject to the laws and jurisdiction of your country of residence.
V.
Other important terms:
Internet
and data charges. You agree to be responsible for obtaining and maintaining all
telephone, computer hardware mobile devices and other equipment needed for
access to and use of the Service, and all charges related thereto.
Service
access out of the US: New Leaf operates and controls the Service from its
offices in the United States. New Leaf makes no representation that the Service
is appropriate or available in other locations. The information and materials
provided on the Service are not intended for distribution to or use by any
person or entity in any jurisdiction where such distribution or use would be
contrary to law or regulation or which would subject New Leaf to any
registration requirement within such jurisdiction or country. Accordingly,
those persons who choose to access the Service from other locations do so on
their own initiative and are solely responsible for compliance with local laws,
if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
Export
Controls: Portions of the Service may be subject to United States export
controls. You agree to comply with such export controls, as well as similar
such controls in any applicable jurisdiction. Without limiting the foregoing,
you agree that no software from the Service may be downloaded, exported or
re-exported (i) into (or to a national or resident
of) Cuba, Iraq, North Korea, Iran, Syria, or any other country to which the
United States has embargoed goods; or (ii) to anyone on the U.S. Treasury
Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals or the U.S. Commerce
Department’s Table of Deny Orders. By downloading any software or applicable
portion of the Service, you represent and warrant that you are not located in,
under the control of, or a national or resident of, any such country or on any
such list.
No
relationship: You agree that no joint venture, partnership, employment or
agency relationship exists between you and New Leaf as a result of these Terms
of Use or your use of the Service.
These
Terms are the entire agreement between us: These Terms of Use constitute the
entire agreement between you and New Leaf with respect to your use of the
Service and any other subject matter hereof and cannot be changed or modified
by you except as expressly posted on the Site or the mobile application by New
Leaf.
Even
if we delay in enforcing this contract, we can still enforce it later. The
failure of New Leaf to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these
Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision, and no
waiver by either party of any breach or default hereunder shall be deemed to be
a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default.
If
a court finds part of this contract illegal, the rest will continue in force.
If any provision of these Terms of Use 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 the
provision, and the other provisions of these Terms of Use shall remain in full
force and effect. Neither the course of conduct between the parties nor trade
practice will act to modify these Terms of Use.
We
may transfer this contract to someone else: These Terms of Use may not be
assigned by you without New Leaf’s prior written consent, but are freely
assignable by New Leaf.
And
a few more terms: The section headings used herein are for convenience only and
shall not be given any legal importance. Upon New Leaf’s request, you will
furnish New Leaf any documentation, substantiation or releases necessary to
verify your compliance with these Terms of Use. You agree that these Terms of
Use will not be construed against New Leaf by virtue of having drafted them.
You hereby waive any and all defenses you may have based on the electronic form
of these Terms of Use and the lack of signing by the parties hereto to execute
these Terms of Use. A person who is not a party to this agreement shall have no
right to enforce any of its terms.
W.
These sections will still be applicable after termination of our contract: You
agree that the following sections of these Terms of Use will survive any
termination of these Terms of Use, your Account or the Service: Section F
(Service Materials, Ownership, Trademarks and Feedback), Section H (Your
Content), Section O (Termination), Section P (Disputes with Others), Section Q
(Disclaimers of Warranties), Section R (Limitations of Liability), Section T
(Indemnification), Section U (Which laws apply to this contract and where you
