  1. CLAIMS REGARDING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Belongly infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you believe to be infringed. Please describe the work, and where possible include a copy or the location (e.g., URL) of an authorized version of the work.
  2. Identification of the material that you believe to be infringing and its location. Please describe the material, and provide us with its URL or any other pertinent information that will allow us to locate the material.
  3. Your name, address, telephone number and (if available) e-mail address.
  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the complained of use of the materials is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information that you have supplied is accurate, and indicating that “under penalty of perjury,” you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please be advised that Belongly will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If Belongly determines the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, Belongly will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (a) your name, address, and telephone number; (b) the source of the content that was removed; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed in error; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Belongly may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (e) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).

  1. INDEMNITY

You agree to indemnify hold harmless Belongly, its affiliates, officers, agents, employees, and licensors from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses, or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (1) your failure to comply with these Terms, (2) your Member Content, and (3) your use of the Services.

  1. CHOICE OF LAW; DISPUTE RESOLUTION

These Terms and the Services, as well as all related disputes, are governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, without giving effect to its conflict of law provisions, regardless of from where you access the Services. You agree that the exclusive place of jurisdiction for all disputes or claim relating to the Services and/or these Terms is Raleigh, North Carolina, or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Agreement, below.

Please read this section carefully, as it affects your legal rights, including your right to file a lawsuit in court.

The purpose of this section is to describe what will happen if you and Belongly have a dispute that needs to be resolved. If you have an issue with the Services, we encourage you to contact Belongly Member Support at [email protected]. If your issue is not resolved by Member Support, you agree that you and Belongly will first discuss the issue informally for at least 60 days before commencing an arbitration action, as described in the arbitration agreement below (the “Arbitration Agreement”). To initiate a discussion, please send your full name and contact information to us at Vertroos Health, Inc. d/b/a Belongly, Attn: Legal Department, 964 High House Rd #3011, Cary, North Carolina 27513, and if we need to contact you we will use the e-mail address associated with your Belongly account. If we are unable to resolve the issue within 60 days, you and Belongly agree that any and all claims that either of us have, whether based on past, present or future events arising out of or relating to these Terms (including the scope and enforceability of this Arbitration Agreement), the Services, and any aspect of our relationship with each other, except for disputes relating to Belongly’s intellectual property (such as trademarks, domain names, trade secrets, copyrights, and patents), must be resolved through 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. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Nothing in this Arbitration Agreement shall be interpreted as limiting any non-waivable statutory rights. You agree that, by agreeing to these Terms, the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this Arbitration Agreement. Arbitration will be administered by JAMS Mediation, Arbitration, and ADR Services (“JAMS”) in accordance with its provisions and procedures for consumer-related disputes, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. Instructions about how to initiate an arbitration and information about the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”) are available at www.jamsadr.com or 1-800-352-5267. No arbitration or proceeding can be combined with another without the prior written consent of you, Belongly, and any other parties to the arbitration or proceedings.

PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU ARE GIVING UP THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE A DISPUTE IN COURT BEFORE A JUDGE OR JURY. YOU AND BELONGLY AGREE TO ARBITRATE IN EACH OF OUR INDIVIDUAL CAPACITIES ONLY, NOT AS A REPRESENTATIVE OR MEMBER OF A CLASS, AND EACH OF US EXPRESSLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO FILE A CLASS ACTION OR SEEK RELIEF ON A CLASS BASIS.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, you and Belongly agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our rights, at any time, to (1) bring an individual action in a U.S. “small claims” court, but only if your claim qualifies, your claim remains in such court, and your claim remains on an individual, non-representative, and non-class basis, or (2) bring an individual action seeking only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief in a court of law, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator.

For your convenience, arbitration may be conducted in-person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. Proceedings that cannot be conducted through the submission of documents, by phone, or online, will take place in Raleigh, North Carolina. It is important that you understand that the arbitrator’s decision will be binding and final (except for a limited right of appeal under the FAA) and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. Please note that nothing in this Section 9 shall be construed as consent by Belongly to the jurisdiction of any other court with respect to disputes not covered by these Terms.

In accordance with the JAMS Rules, the party initiating the arbitration (either you or Belongly) is responsible for paying the filing fee. However, if the arbitrator issues you an award of damages and (i) that award is greater than the amount of our last written settlement offer, or (ii) if we did not make a settlement offer, then in addition to paying for any JAMS Case Management Fees and all professional fees for the arbitrator’s services, we will reimburse you the filing fees you incurred.

You have the right to opt out and not be bound by this Arbitration Agreement and class-action-waiver set forth in this section by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to the following address: Vertroos Health, Inc. d/b/a Belongly, Attn: Legal Department, 964 High House Rd #3011, Cary, North Carolina 27513. The notice must be sent within 30 days of after first becoming subject to a version of these Terms containing the Arbitration Agreement and waiver; otherwise, you shall be bound to arbitrate disputes in accordance with these Terms. If you opt out of arbitration, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.

If any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the Arbitration Agreement or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the Arbitration Agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.

In the interest of promptly resolving issues between us, you and Belongly agree to bring any claim arising out of or relating to these Terms, any policy governing your use of the Services, our relationship, or the use of the Services within one year after a claim arises, otherwise, the claim is waived. This limitation applies regardless of the venue in which such claim is or could otherwise be asserted.

  1. ADDITIONAL TERMS
  2. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction or arbitrator to be illegal, void, or unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be modified so as to render these Terms enforceable and effective to the maximum extent possible in order to effect the intention of the provision; and if a court or arbitrator finds the modified provision invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected in any way.

  1. No Waiver

Failure to enforce any part of these Terms is not a waiver of the right to later enforce that or any other part of these Terms.

  1. Relationship of the Parties

You agree that no joint venture, partnership, joint controllership, employment or agency relationship exists between you and Belongly as a result of these Terms or your use of the Services.

  1. Notice

Belongly’s notice to you via e-mail, regular mail or notices, posts, or links on the Services shall constitute acceptable notice to you under these Terms. You must provide any notice to us in writing and send via overnight courier.

  1. Assignment

You may not assign, delegate or otherwise transfer your account or your obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Belongly. Belongly has the right, in its sole discretion, to transfer or assign all or any part of its rights under these Terms and will have the right to delegate or use third parties to fulfill its duties and obligations under these Terms and in connection with the Services.

  1. Changes to these Terms

We reserve the right to modify these Terms and any policies applicable to your use of the Services at any time in our sole discretion. When we make a change, we will post the updated Terms with a new “Effective Date.” We may, and if required by law will, also provide notification of changes in another way that we believe is reasonably likely to reach you, such as by e-mail (if you have an account where we have your contact information) or another manner through the Services. Any modifications to these Terms will be effective upon posting or as otherwise indicated at the time of posting. In all cases, by continuing to use the Services after posting of the updated Terms, you are consenting to the changes. If you object to any changes, you may close your account by contacting [email protected].

  1. Entire Agreement

These Terms and the Privacy Policy constitute the entire, complete and exclusive agreement between you and us regarding your use of the Services and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, whether written or oral, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, with respect to the subject matter of these Terms. If any provision of these Terms 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 remain in full force and effect.
