Company, Attn: DCMA Designated Agent / Legal 20703 CRAWFORD RD LYNNWOOD, WA 98036 Email: legal@chroniclersoftware.com Phone: 425-610-9560

For residents in the European Union: Subject to Sections 12 and 15, Company shall be liable only in accordance with statutory law in cases of its (a) intentional misconduct; (b) gross negligence; (c) breach of applicable Product Liability Acts. Without limiting the foregoing, we may only be liable for modest levels of negligence in cases of a breach of a “material” contractual obligation under the Agreement, the breach of which would jeopardize the purpose of the Agreement. In such circumstances, our liability will be limited to typical and foreseeable damages: in other circumstances we shall not be liable for acts of modest negligence.

In order to be effective, your notice must comply with the detailed requirements set forth in the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. Sec. 512(c)(3). Your notice must (1) be in writing, with a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; (3) identify the 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 provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (4) provide information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) include a statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (6) include 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.

RISK OF LOSS

You agree to bear all risk of, and agree to not hold Company responsible for, any loss, damage, injury, harm, or claim arising out of or related to your use of the Site, and any UGC, Contribution, or Community Content.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITY TO US (INDEMNIFICATION)

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Company, and Company’ affiliates, subsidiaries, directors, officers, employees, and shareholders (each an “Indemnified Party”) from and against all claims, actions, suits, costs, liabilities, judgments, obligations, losses, penalties, fines, forfeitures, expenses or damages (including all costs, expenses, and reasonable legal fees) of any kind and nature imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against any Indemnified Party arising out of or related to your violation or alleged violation of these Terms.

TIME PERIOD IN WHICH TO BRING OR ASSERT A CLAIM

You agree that regardless of the statute of limitation applicable to any claim or cause of action you may have, you must file your claim or cause of action within one year after such claim or cause of action arose in order for it to be valid. Failure to file your claim or cause of action within the one-year period will forever bar such claim or cause of action.

BINDING ARBITRATION

While we expect to resolve with you any dispute or legal claim you may have, should we be unable to do so, both you and we agree to the provisions in this Section. You understand you have a right to submit for resolution any claim, cause of action, dispute, demand, and the like (a “Claim”) to a public court for determination by a Judge or Jury. You agree to give up that right, and instead submit any and all Claims, which specifically include the interpretation, construction, and enforcement of these Terms and the Privacy Policy, arising out of these Terms and your use of the Site and all Content, to binding arbitration. The selected arbitrator, and not a Court, will have the exclusive authority and jurisdiction to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of these Terms are void or voidable, or whether a claim is subject to arbitration.

Notwithstanding the parties’ decision to resolve all disputes through arbitration, either party may bring an action in state or federal court which asserts only claims for patent infringement or invalidity, copyright infringement, moral rights violations, trademark infringement, and/or trade secret misappropriation.

You and we will agree upon an arbitrator, and if we cannot agree upon an arbitrator within 30 days, you agree that Company may then select a recognized organization (e.g. AAA, JAMS) to serve and to appoint the specific arbitrator. Arbitration shall occur at a location that is convenient for you. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

If the cost of your portion of the filing fee is greater than the filing fee for a lawsuit in the Court of general jurisdiction for the location of the arbitration, we will pay the additional cost. The parties presumptively shall equally share the cost of arbitration, however if you are unable to pay your share, or contend paying such share is prohibitive, unconscionable, oppressive, or unfairly or unduly burdensome, you may petition the arbitrator to request that your share be reduced in whole or part and shifted to Company. Such petition shall be made not later than ten days (10) days after selection or agreement of the arbitrator, and if your financial position or circumstances change thereafter, then within fourteen (14) days of such changed circumstances. You will at all times bear the burden to demonstrate sufficient basis and need for such shifting, and any supporting financial records may be subject to an order as the Arbitrator deems appropriate to protect the integrity and privacy of the records (e.g. a protective order, limitation of use, return or destruction following determination, etc.), but the petition and any supporting declarations or statements shall be provided to Company and Company be given an opportunity to respond.

WAIVER OF CLASS ACTION

With or without arbitration, and even if an action is filed in Court, you agree to bring any claim, action, suit, or proceeding individually and not as part of a class. You waive to the fullest extent of the law any right to participate in, be a representative of, or seek relief as part of a class action. To the extent an arbitrator or court determines this Waiver of Class Action is unenforceable or void, then the arbitration provision above shall equally be unenforceable or void, and such Claims may be resolved by public court as part of the class action.

LIMITATION OF DAMAGES

You and Company agree that in no case will either party be liable or responsible to the other for any consequential, indirect, exemplary, punitive, treble, or special damages. If you are resident of a member of the European Union, then the Company shall be liable in accordance with statutory law in cases of its (a) intentional misconduct; (b) gross negligence; (c) breach of applicable Product Liability Acts. Without limiting the foregoing, Company may only be liable for modest levels of negligence in cases of a breach of a “material” contractual obligation under these Terms, the breach of which would jeopardize the purpose of these Terms. In such circumstances, Company’s liability will be limited to typical and foreseeable damages; in other circumstances Company shall not be liable for acts of modest negligence.

JURISDICTION

These Terms, the Privacy Policy, and any Claim, whether in arbitration or otherwise, shall be subject to and governed exclusively by the internal laws of the State of Washington, without regard to any choice of law provisions. If you are a resident of the European Union, your Claims will be subject to the laws of the European Union Country in which you reside.

CHANGES

Company reserves the right to amend, modify, or add to or delete from any of these Terms without prior notice. You agree Company may make such changes without notice, and consent to all such changes.
