​
11. DMCA/COPYRIGHT POLICY
We respect the intellectual property of others and expect you to do the same. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the rights of copyright holders in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov).
A copyright owner, or any person authorized to act on behalf of one, or any person authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, that believes that any material available on or through the Services, including applications, products, User-Generated Content, posts or materials on user forums, or any other content (collectively referred to as “Content”), infringes upon such person’s copyrights may report alleged copyright infringements by providing the information in the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”) and delivering it to us. Upon receipt of the Notice, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate,
including removal of the Content. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we may notify the owner or administrator of the Content so that such owner or administrator can make a counter notification.
Please note that filing a report of intellectual property infringement is a serious matter with legal consequences. Any person who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation that material or activity is infringing could be liable for damages pursuant to section 512(f) of the DMCA or similar laws in other jurisdictions or countries. We suggest first contacting an attorney before filing a report under the DMCA. A copyright notice may not be valid if all legal requirements below are not met.

-
Identify the material 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, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the site(s) where such material may be found.
-
Provide a name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address. (Note that we may provide your contact information, including name and email address, the name

IN NO EVENT WILL e SENTRY’S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR FROM THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SERVICES EXCEED THE AMOUNTS YOU HAVE PAID TO eSentry FOR USE OF THE SERVICES OR ONE HUNDRED UNITED STATES DOLLARS (USD$100.00), IF YOU HAVE NOT HAD ANY PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS TO eSentry, AS APPLICABLE.
THE EXCLUSIONS AND LIMITATIONS OF DAMAGES SET FORTH ABOVE ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN US AND YOU. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
20. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY BECAUSE IT REQUIRES YOU TO ARBITRATE CERTAIN DISPUTES AND CLAIMS WITH US AND LIMITS THE MANNER IN WHICH YOU CAN SEEK RELIEF FROM US.
You agree that any dispute between you and eSentry arising out of or relating to these Terms of Use, the Services, or any other eSentry products or services (collectively, “Disputes”) will be governed by the arbitration procedure outlined below.
​
(a) Governing Law. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, the Terms of Use and the resolution of any Disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California without regard to its conflict of laws principles.
​
(b) Informal Dispute Resolution. We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case. Before filing a claim against eSentry, you agree to try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting us by email. We will try to resolve the Dispute informally by contacting you through email. If a dispute is not resolved within 15 days after your initial submission of the claim, you or eSentry may bring a formal proceeding.
(c) and binding arbitration, except as set forth under Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate below.
​
(d) Opt-Out of Agreement to Arbitrate. You can decline this agreement to arbitrate by Agreement to Arbitrate. You and eSentry agree to resolve any Disputes through final contacting us by email within 30 days of first accepting these Terms of Use and stating that you (include your first and last name) decline this arbitration agreement.
-
(e) Arbitration Procedures. The American Arbitration Association (AAA) will administer the arbitration under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be held in the United States county where you live or work, Alameda County, California, or any other mutually agreed-upon location.
-
(f) Arbitration Fees. The AAA rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. We will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
-
(g) Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate. Either you or eSentry may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in Alameda County, California, or any United States county where you live or work. Either party may bring legal action before any court, tribunal, or governmental agency solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use or abuse of the Entry Sentry products or Services, or infringement of intellectual property rights (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright, or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration or the informal dispute-resolution process described above.
-
(h) No Class Actions. You may only resolve Disputes with eSentry on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are not allowed under our agreement.
-
(i) Judicial Forum for Disputes. Except as otherwise required by applicable law, in the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you or your claim, you and Entry Sentry agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Alameda County, California. Both you and eSentry consent to venue and personal jurisdiction there. We both agree to waive our right to a jury trial.
-
(j) Limitation on Claims. Regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause
of action arising out of or related to your use of the eSentry products or Services must be filed within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose, or else that claim or cause of action will be barred forever.
21. GENERAL TERMS
Except as otherwise stated herein, these Terms constitute the entire and exclusive understanding and agreement between us and you regarding the Services, and these Terms supersede and replace any and all prior oral or written understandings or agreements between us and you regarding the Services and eSentry Content.
We will notify you before we make material changes to these Terms and give you an opportunity to review the revised Terms before continuing to use the Services. When you use the Services after a modification becomes effective, you are accepting the modified Terms.
If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of these Terms invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the other provisions of these Terms will remain in full force and effect.
You may not assign, delegate, or transfer these Terms, by operation of law or otherwise, without our prior written consent. Any attempt by you to assign or transfer these Terms, without such consent, will be null. We may freely assign or transfer these Terms without restriction. Subject to the foregoing, these Terms will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties, their successors, and permitted assigns.
Any notices or other communications provided by us under these Terms, including those regarding modifications to these Terms, will be given via email or by posting to the Services. For notices made by email, the date of receipt on the message will be deemed the date on which such notice is transmitted.
Any failure by us to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be considered a waiver of such right or provision. The waiver of any such right or provision will be effective only if in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of eSentry. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, the exercise by either party of any of its remedies under these Terms will be without prejudice to its other remedies under these Terms or otherwise.
​
22. ADDITIONAL TERMS MAY APPLY
