6. Copyright claims

If you believe that anything on our Services infringes any copyright that you own or control, you may notify our designated agent as follows:

Designated Agent: WeyMedia Inc.

Dieppe, NB Canada E1A 9G5

7. Further disclaimers

Although we pride ourselves to be well-researched in every article, reviews, comparison, and rankings that we publish, we can’t guarantee the completeness or accuracy of the information, content or postings found on our Services. By using our Services, you acknowledge and agree to take full responsibility for your decisions by ensuring that you have done your research that is aligned to your specific personal and financial goals.

You agree to promptly notify us of any third-party claims, cooperate with us in defending such claims and pay all fees, costs and expenses associated with defending such claims (including, but not limited to, attorneys' fees). You also agree that we will have control of the defense or settlement, at our sole option, of any third-party claims.

9. Dispute resolution; Binding arbitration

Please read the following section carefully because it requires you to arbitrate certain disputes and claims with WeyMedia and limits the manner in which you can seek relief from us, unless you opt out of arbitration by following the instructions set forth below. No class or representative actions or arbitrations are allowed under this arbitration provision. In addition, arbitration precludes you from suing in court or having a jury trial.

  1. No Representative Actions. To the fullest extent of applicable law, you and WeyMedia agree that any dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services is personal to you and WeyMedia and that any dispute will be resolved solely through individual action, and will not be brought as a class arbitration, class action or any other type of representative proceeding.
  2. Arbitration of Disputes. Except for small claims disputes in which you or WeyMedia seeks to bring an individual action in small claims court located in the county of your billing address or disputes in which you or WeyMedia seeks injunctive or other equitable relief for the alleged infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property rights, to the fullest extent of applicable law, you and WeyMedia waive your rights to a jury trial and to have any other dispute arising out of or related to these Terms or our Services, including claims related to privacy and data security, (collectively, "Disputes") resolved in court. Instead, for any Dispute that you have against WeyMedia, you agree to first contact WeyMedia and attempt to resolve the claim informally by sending a written notice of your claim (“Notice”) to WeyMedia by email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to 790 Dieppe Blvd Suite 104 Dieppe, NB Canada E1A 9G5. The Notice must (a) include your name, residence address, email address, and telephone number; (b) describe the nature and basis of the Dispute; and (c) set forth the specific relief sought. Our notice to you will be similar in form to that described above. If you and WeyMedia cannot reach an agreement to resolve the Dispute within thirty (30) days after such Notice is received, then either party may submit the Dispute to binding arbitration administered by JAMS or, under the limited circumstances set forth above, in court. All Disputes submitted to JAMS will be resolved through confidential, binding arbitration before one arbitrator. Arbitration proceedings will be held in New York, New York unless you are a consumer in the United States, in which case you may elect to hold the arbitration in your county of residence. For purposes of this Section 9, a “consumer” means a person using the Services for personal, family or household purposes. You and WeyMedia agree that Disputes will be held in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (“JAMS Rules”). The most recent version of the JAMS Rules are available on the JAMS website (available at: https://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/)and are hereby incorporated by reference. You either acknowledge and agree that you have read and understand the JAMS Rules or waive your opportunity to read the JAMS Rules and waive any claim that the JAMS Rules are unfair or should not apply for any reason.
  3. You and WeyMedia agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the enforceability of this Section 9 will be substantively and procedurally governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1, et seq. (the "FAA"), to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. As limited by the FAA, these Terms and the JAMS Rules, the arbitrator will have exclusive authority to make all procedural and substantive decisions regarding any Dispute and to grant any remedy that would otherwise be available in court, including the power to determine the question of arbitrability. The arbitrator may conduct only an individual arbitration and may not consolidate more than one individual’s claims, preside over any type of class or representative proceeding or preside over any proceeding involving more than one individual.
  4. The arbitration will allow for the discovery or exchange of non-privileged information relevant to the Dispute. The arbitrator, WeyMedia, and you will maintain the confidentiality of any arbitration proceedings, judgments and awards, including, but not limited to, all information gathered, prepared and presented for purposes of the arbitration or related to the Dispute(s) therein. The arbitrator will have the authority to make appropriate rulings to safeguard confidentiality, unless the law provides to the contrary. The duty of confidentiality does not apply to the extent that disclosure is necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration hearing on the merits, in connection with a court application for a preliminary remedy or in connection with a judicial challenge to an arbitration award or its enforcement, or to the extent that disclosure is otherwise required by law or judicial decision.
  5. You and WeyMedia agree that for any arbitration you initiate, you will pay the filing fee (up to a maximum of $250 if you are a consumer), and WeyMedia will pay the remaining JAMS fees and costs. For any arbitration initiated by Company, WeyMedia will pay all JAMS fees and costs. You and WeyMedia agree that the state or federal courts of the State of New York and the United States sitting in New York, New York have exclusive jurisdiction over any appeals and the enforcement of an arbitration award.
  6. Any Dispute must be filed within one year after the relevant claim arose; otherwise, the Dispute is permanently barred, which means that you and WeyMedia will not have the right to assert the claim.
  7. You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first accepted the terms of this Section 9 by sending a written notice of your claim ("Notice") to WeyMedia by email at [email protected] or by certified mail addressed to 790 Dieppe Blvd Suite 104 Dieppe, NB Canada E1A 9G5. In order to be effective, the opt-out notice must include your full name and address and clearly indicate your intent to opt out of binding arbitration. By opting out of binding arbitration, you are agreeing to resolve Disputes in accordance with Section 10.
  8. If any portion of this Section 9 is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (i) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (ii) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of this Section 9 or the parties’ ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to this Section 9; and (iii) 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. Further, if any part of this Section 9 is found to prohibit an individual claim seeking public injunctive relief, that provision will have no effect to the extent such relief is allowed to be sought out of arbitration, and the remainder of this Section 9 will be enforceable.

10. Governing law and venue

Any disputes between us, other than those governed by Section 9, will be resolved in accordance with the laws of the state of New York, except to the extent preempted by U.S. federal law, notwithstanding your residence or physical location and without regard to conflict of law rules or principles (whether of New York or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. You agree to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts of New York, New York to decide and adjudicate any dispute in connection with our Services, its disclaimers or its Terms.
