10. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §512, Aplaix has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims in accordance with such law. If you believe your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please send Aplaix's copyright agent (listed below) a notification of claimed infringement with all of the following information:

• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
• identification of the claimed infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit Aplaix to locate the material on the Site;
• information reasonably sufficient to permit Aplaix to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address;

• your physical or electronic signature.

Please do not send notices or inquiries unrelated to alleged copyright infringement to the designated agent.

11. Other Provisions

These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without giving effect to any conflict or choice of laws rules or provisions.

Any controversy, claim, or dispute arising out of or related to these Terms (or the interpretation, performance, or breach of them), the Privacy Policy, or the Service, including but not limited to alleged violations of state or federal statutory or common law rights or duties (a "Dispute") shall be solely and exclusively resolved according to the procedures set forth in this paragraph. If we are unable to resolve any Dispute through informal means after using good faith efforts to do so, either party may initiate binding arbitration administered by JAMS in accordance with its provisions and procedures for consumer-related disputes, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator's award shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To the extent the filing fee for the arbitration exceeds the cost of filing a lawsuit, Aplaix will pay the additional cost. No Disputes may be arbitrated on a class or representative basis. BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT YOU MAY HAVE TO JOIN CLAIMS WITH THOSE OF OTHERS IN THE FORM OF A CLASS ACTION OR SIMILAR PROCEDURAL DEVICE. ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF, RELATING TO, OR CONNECTED WITH THESE TERMS MUST BE ASSERTED INDIVIDUALLY.

If any provision of these Terms is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity or enforceability of any remaining provisions.

The failure of Aplaix to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not prevent Aplaix from enforcing such right or provision in the future.

We may assign our rights and obligations under these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, a sale of assets or by operation of law.

12. Changes to these Terms

From time to time, we may change these Terms. If we change these Terms, we will inform you by posting the revised Terms on the Service. Those changes will go into effect on the Revision Date shown in the revised Terms. By continuing to use our Service, you agree to the revised Terms. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse shall be to cease using the Service.
