15.   Disputes

If you have any dispute with Geographic Farming, you agree that before taking any formal action, you will contact Geographic Farming at legal@geographicfarm.com, provide a brief, written description of the dispute and your contact information and allow sixty (60) days to pass, during which the parties will attempt to reach an amicable settlement of any issue.  If the parties cannot resolve the dispute within 60 days, the following will apply:
  1. These Terms and each of its parts evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the United States Arbitration Act applies in all cases and governs the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration rules and arbitration proceedings.  Any claims arising out of, relating to or connected with these Terms must be asserted individually in binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Terms and the AAA Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes (including without limitation the use of desk, phone or video conference proceedings where appropriate and permitted to mitigate costs of travel). One arbitrator will conduct the arbitration. The arbitrator will not conduct any form of class or collective arbitration nor join or consolidate claims by or for individuals.  The arbitrator, and not any federal, state or local court or agency, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability or formation of these Terms, including without limitation any claim that all or any part of these Terms is void or voidable or a particular claim is subject to arbitration.  Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.  There are only two exceptions to this arbitration agreement:
  2. First, if Geographic Farming reasonably believes that you have in any manner violated or threatened to violate these Terms, Geographic Farming may seek injunctive or other appropriate relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. You understand and agree that your breach of these Terms will cause Geographic Farming irreparable harm for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that Geographic Farming will therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief, without the need to post a bond or prove actual monetary damages, to protect Geographic Farming’s rights under these Terms in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
  3. Second, any claim of $1,000 or less may, at the option of the claiming party, be resolved in small claims court in Phoenix, Arizona, if the claim and the parties are within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.
  4. BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO A COURT TRIAL (OTHER THAN SMALL CLAIMS COURT AS PROVIDED ABOVE) OR TO SERVE AS A REPRESENTATIVE, AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL OR IN ANY OTHER REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR TO PARTICIPATE AS A MEMBER OF A CLASS OF CLAIMANTS, IN ANY LAWSUIT, ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING FILED AGAINST ANY GEOGRAPHIC FARMING, ITS LICENSORS OR RELATED THIRD PARTIES.
  5.             REGARDLESS OF ANY LAW TO THE CONTRARY, ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BY YOU ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR USE OF THE SITE OR THESE TERMS MUST BE FILED WITHIN SIX (6) MONTHS AFTER SUCH CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION ARISES OR IT WILL BE FOREVER BARRED.

16.       Copyright Infringement Claims

We respect the copyrights of others and expect others to do the same. We may remove, suspend, terminate access or take other appropriate action against repeat offenders. We may also remove content that, in our sole discretion, appears to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. If you have evidence, know or have a good faith belief that content on or available through the Site infringes a copyright which you own or for which you are a designated agent, please send a notice of infringement by fax, email or regular mail that includes the following information:

1. Identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notice, provide a representative list of such works.

2. Identify the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Include information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. Please provide a URL and screenshots for each item. Include the specific asset(s) or page(s) that you claim to be infringing. State “entire work” only if all assets/pages in a collection/document are infringing.

3. Include details of your claim to the material, or your relationship to the material’s copyright holder.

4. Provide your full name, address, and telephone number in case we need to clarify your claim.

5. Provide a working email address where we can contact you to confirm your claim.

6. If true, include the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described in this notification is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.”

7. If true, include the following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner to make this complaint.”

Then, sign the notification, physically or electronically, and send the notification to our designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement by one of the following means:

Copyright Agent Geographic Farming, LLC 1121 E Missouri Ave, Ste 107 Phoenix, AZ 85014

Fax: 480.999.5134

Email: legal@geographicfarm.com

We will review your claim, determine its merit and act accordingly. Please note that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this policy, your notice may not be valid and we may not remove the infringing material. Please also note that you may be liable for damages, including without limitation costs and attorneys’ fees, under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material on the Site infringes upon your copyright.

17.   General

17.7   Waiver. Enforcement of these Terms is solely in our discretion, and failure to enforce the Terms in some instances does not constitute a waiver of our right to enforce them in other instances. A waiver will not bind a party unless made in writing.

These Terms may not be modified by an oral statement by a representative of Geographic Farming or any third party.
