If you breach any provision of My Policies, any license I granted to you will automatically rescind and terminate.

This Website has a transparent Copyright Policy pertaining to any Content alleged to infringe the copyright of a third party.

Assignment
You are not permitted to transfer or assign My Policies; and you are not permitted to transfer or assign any rights or licenses granted to you under them. However, I retain the right to assign My Policies without any limitations.
Arbitration Agreement and Waiver of Specific Rights
Except as stated above, you and I agree to settle any disputes (including disputes with any of My third-party agents) through binding and definitive arbitration, rather than court litigation. The right to a jury trial for any Dispute (defined below) is mutually waived. All disagreements, assertions, counter-claims or disputes arising between you and I, or you and a third-party agent of Mine (collectively defined as "Dispute") will be submitted to binding arbitration as per the American Arbitration Association ("AAA Rules"). A single arbitrator will hear and rule on the arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator is final, binding upon both parties and enforceable by any court with competent jurisdiction. Both you and I concur that the arbitration proceedings will be confidential, and any aspect of them will not be disclosed beyond the arbitration proceedings, except as required by law, disclosure rules and regulations of securities regulatory authorities or other government agencies, or as specifically permitted by applicable law. The Federal Arbitration Act and federal arbitration law govern this agreement. However, the authority to resolve any disputes relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of My Policies lies solely with the Arbitrator, not any federal, state, or local court or agency.
If the costs of arbitration compared to litigation are excessive for you, I will pay the administrative costs and arbitrator's fees as much as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent prohibitive costs. The arbitrator may distribute the arbitration costs and the compensation of the arbitrator among the parties in the final award as deemed suitable.
This arbitration agreement under this section does not prevent either party from seeking action from federal, state, or local government agencies. You and I both retain the right to file qualifying claims in small claims court. Additionally, you and I both maintain the right to seek provisional relief, such as pre-arbitral attachments or preliminary injunctions from any court of competent jurisdiction (i) without being deemed incompatible with My Policies, and (ii) without waiving the right to have disputes submitted to arbitration.
Neither you or I can act as a class representative, private attorney general, or participate in a class of claimants for any Dispute. The arbitrator can only decide on your individual Disputes and/or Mine. The arbitrator has no authority to consolidate or join claims of other parties who may be in similar situations. However, the arbitrator may award the same damages or other relief under applicable law as if the case was brought to court on an individual basis, except for a "public injunction" which can only be awarded by a federal or state court.
This Section titled "Arbitration" only applies to Users located in the United States of America. If any clause of this section is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will be disregarded, but the rest of this section will continue to be fully effective. No waiver of any clause in this section will be effective unless documented in writing and signed by the waiving party. Such a waiver does not affect any other part of My Policies. This section will continue to be effective even after your relationship with Me ends.
THIS SECTION RESTRICTS CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE IN COURT, THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL, THE RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS, THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN DISCOVERIES AS PROVIDED IN AAA RULES, AND THE RIGHT TO CERTAIN REMEDIES AND FORMS OF RELIEF. OTHER RIGHTS YOU OR I MAY HAVE IN COURT MAY NOT BE AVAILABLE IN ARBITRATION.
Miscellaneous
My Policies, your engagement with this Website, and My mutual relationship with you shall be governed by the laws of the United States of America, without giving effect to any principles of conflicts of law. My Policies shall not be construed as agreeing to apply the laws of any other country to this Website. You consent to this Website being considered a passive platform that does not establish personal jurisdiction over Me in jurisdictions other than the United States of America. Any actions or proceedings related to My Policies will be under the exclusive jurisdiction of a suitable court in the state of Maryland in the United States of America. You hereby agree to this jurisdiction and venue.
I do not waive any term or condition set out in My Policies unless explicitly stated, and My failure to enforce a right or provision under My Policies does not constitute a waiver.
If any part of My Policies is ruled invalid by a competent court, the invalidity of that provision does not impact the validity of the remaining provisions, which will continue in full force.
My Policies, and any documents they incorporate by reference are the entire agreement between you and I regarding this Website.
I have the right to partially or fully terminate these My Policies for any or no reason at any time by notifying you via this Website, email, or any other communication method. Such termination does not affect My legal rights or defenses. Following the full termination of My Policies, your right to access your account and your Content will cease. I have no obligation to help you migrate your data or Content, nor am I required to maintain backups of your data or Content. I bear no responsibility for deleting your data or Content under My Policies. Even if your data or Content is removed from My active servers, it may remain in My archives (though I am not obligated to archive or back up your data or Content), and it remains subject to the licenses outlined in My Policies.
