14. Claims of Infringement

Ramo Law respects the intellectual property of others and requires that you do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at  http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Ramo Law will respond expeditiously to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are duly reported to its Designated Copyright Agent identified in the notice below. Ramo Law will disable and/or remove access to the website for users who are repeat infringers. If you believe that your content has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide Ramo Law Copyright Agent the following information:

DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement (“Notice”)

• Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by this Notice you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
• Identify the material or link you claim is infringing and provide a description of where the infringing work is located on the website.
• Provide your mailing address, telephone number and, if available, email address.
• Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:
  • “I hereby state that I have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., fair use).”
  • “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
• Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.
• Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Ramo Law Designated Copyright Agent:

While Ramo Law considers all such notices seriously, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that content or activity is infringing. Accordingly, if you are uncertain whether material infringes your copyrights (including whether use of copyrighted material may constitute fair use) you may wish to seek the advice of an attorney.

15. Termination

Ramo Law reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to restrict, suspend, or terminate these Terms of Use and your access to all or any part of the Site or the Content or Services, at any time and for any reason without prior notice or liability.

17. Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT MAY SIGNIFICANTLY AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

Any and all disputes relating to or arising from the Terms of Use or the Privacy Policy, including disputes regarding the validity of this arbitration clause, shall be settled by a single arbitrator in arbitration administered by the JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator(s) may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. The place of arbitration shall be Los Angeles, California. The arbitration shall be governed by the laws of the State of California. Each party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the arbitrators’ and administrative fees of arbitration. This agreement to mediate and/or arbitrate is a final and irrevocable waiver of the opportunity to file a lawsuit in court to resolve claims and the right to a jury trial to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Any proceedings to resolve or litigate any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis and neither you nor Ramo Law will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. The client should carefully consider this and other provisions of these Terms and Privacy Policy and has the right to consult legal counsel regarding this provision. If there is a conflict between JAMS Rules and the rules set forth in these Terms, the rules set forth in these Terms will govern. If any other provision of this section is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that provision will be severed, with the remainder of this section remaining in full force and effect.

18. General

These Terms of Use will be governed by the laws of the State of California, without reference to its choice of laws rules. The exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any action under these Terms of Use will be in the state and federal courts of Los Angeles, California. You hereby accept the personal jurisdiction of such courts. You may not assign any rights granted to you or delegate any of your duties hereunder and any attempt to do so is void and of no effect. Ramo Law may assign its rights and delegate its duties under this Agreement in their entirety in connection with a merger, reorganization, or sale of all, or substantially all, of its assets relating to this Terms of Use. Nothing in this Agreement constitutes a partnership or joint venture between you and Ramo Law. Ramo Law does not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted or secure access to this Site or the Services, and operation of the Site may be interfered with by numerous factors outside of its control. Ramo Law’s failure to enforce any provisions of these Terms or act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive our right to enforce any of these provisions or act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. These Terms of Use, together with any other applicable contracts or click-through agreements you may have entered into regarding out Site or our Services, set forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Ramo Law with respect to the use of the Site and the Services, superseding any prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals (whether oral, written, or electronic). Sections 3 (Proprietary Policy); 7 (Submitted Materials); 9 (Indemnification); 10 (Disclaimers); 11 (Limitation of Liabilities); 12 (Release); 15 (Severability); and 16 (Notice of Arbitration Provision and Waiver of Jury Trial and Class Action); and 17 (General) survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. Additionally, any provision that was, by its nature, intended to survive termination of these Terms will so survive.
