("DecisionLayer," "we" or "us") through its sites and applications to you, the entity or individual ("you") that creates an account or engages in transactions through the Services.
ARBITRATION NOTICE: THESE TERMS OF SERVICE CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION PROVISION, AND A WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTION AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 1 BELOW – PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY.
1. ARBITRATION; CLASS ACTION WAIVER; JURY WAIVER; CHOICE OF LAW AND FORUM
1.1 Binding Arbitration
To the fullest extent permissible under applicable law, any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the Services, or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation, or validity thereof (collectively, "Disputes") shall be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Commercial Arbitration Rules then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in New York County, State of New York, before a single, neutral arbitrator. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT BY AGREEING TO RESOLVE DISPUTES THROUGH ARBITRATION YOU ARE WAIVING ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DecisionLayer reserves the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect its intellectual-property rights or confidential information.
1.2 Governing Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law and the internal laws of the State of New York, without reference to its conflicts of law rules. For any Dispute not subject to binding arbitration hereunder, you hereby irrevocably and unconditionally consent to submit to the jurisdiction of the State or Federal Courts located in New York County in New York. Each party shall be responsible for their own expenses, costs, and attorney's fees for any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement. The party that prevails in any Dispute shall be entitled to recover from the losing party all fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in connection with the Dispute, including reasonable attorney's fees.
1.3 Class Action Waiver
YOU HEREBY KNOWINGLY AGREE THAT ANY PROCEEDING, IN COURT OR BEFORE ANY OTHER COMPETENT TRIBUNAL, INCLUDING AT ARBITRATION IF APPLICABLE, WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR AS A MEMBER IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION. YOU HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR ABILITY TO JOIN A CLASS ACTION AGAINST DECISIONLAYER IN CONNECTION WITH ANY CLAIM ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICES OR YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH DECISIONLAYER.

You are responsible for paying all fees as set forth in any Rules or as otherwise presented to you by the DecisionLayer system during an Arbitration.

9. DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA") permits anyone who believes in good faith that material available via the Sites or Services infringes their copyright (a "Claimant") to send to our agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement ("Agent") a written notice requesting that we remove or block access to the infringing material ("Notice"). The Notice must include the following information:
- (i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the Claimant.
- (ii) Identification of 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.
- (iii) Identification of 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 information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
- (iv) The Claimant's address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
- (v) A statement that the Complainant 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.
- (vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that Complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
The DMCA permits anyone who believes in good faith that a Notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly made against them to send our Agent a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see www.loc.gov/copyright). Notices and counter-notices should be sent to our Agent at: dmca@decisionlayer.ai. Responses to Notices will be made in accordance with the requirements of the DMCA and within DecisionLayer's sole discretion.
