5.1 DMCA Policy

CodeMonkey respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects you to do the same. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on this site, you may notify our designated copyright agent, as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) (such act may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf. Upon receipt of such notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the web site or any Service. For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide us with the following information when providing notice of the claimed copyright infringement:

Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (or a preventative list of the copyrighted works – if multiple copyrighted works are the subject matter of such notice).

Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed.

Include the following statements:

“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.”

“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 company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.

Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by CodeMonkey against you, the DMCA permits you to send CodeMonkey a counter- notice. If a counter-notice is received by CodeMonkey, we may send a copy of the counter- notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against CodeMonkey or the person who has posted allegedly infringing content, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details.

All claims of copyright infringement for the Site should be addressed to: info@codemonkey.com

We shall not be liable to you or to any third-party for any termination of your access to the Service.

7. Fees and Payments

If you sign up for a paid subscription plan, you shall pay to the Company in advance the fees detailed under the specific plan (“Fees”). The Fees are for the right to use the Service during the term specified under the specific plan, and do not include any other services. Unless otherwise explicitly detailed in these Terms, all amounts owed to the Company are non-cancellable and Fees paid are non-refundable.

The Fees shall be due and payable immediately and as a condition to commence the use of the Service.

All fees payable hereunder, do not include local, state, or federal sales, use, excise, personal property, VAT or other similar taxes or duties, including, without limitation, any withholding tax, and any such taxes, to the extent legally applicable, shall be borne and paid by you.

THE FOREGOING EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS ARE AN ESSENTIAL PART OF THESE TERMS AND FORMED THE BASIS FOR DETERMINING THE PRICE CHARGED FOR THE SERVICE.

10. Limitation of Liability

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF GOODWILL, LOSS OF DATA, LOST PROFITS OR OTHER INTANGIBLE LOSSES), UNDER ANY THEORY OF LAW INCLUDING UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF ANY STATUTORY DUTY, OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO THE SERVICE (EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND EVEN IF A REMEDY FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE). Some jurisdictions may not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so some of the above may not apply to you. In such jurisdictions, liability is limited to the fullest extent permitted by law.

YOU FURTHER AGREE THAT WE SHALL HAVE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY YOU IN CONNECTION WITH LOSS OF DATA, ERRORS, SYSTEM DOWN TIME, NETWORK OR SYSTEM OUTAGES, COMMUNICATIONS LINE FAILURE, FILE CORRUPTION, OR SERVICE INTERRUPTIONS CAUSED BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF EITHER US OR OUR SUB-CONTRACTORS AND SERVICE PROVIDERS, ALL IN IRRESPECTIVE OF THE THEORY UPON WHICH ANY CLAIM MAY BE BASED, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Accordingly, Customer agrees that we will not be responsible for such Third Party Products and Services nor for any error, malfunction or defect in the Service resulted therefrom.

If any provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other provision and such invalid provision shall be deemed to be severed from these Terms. We may freely assign our rights and responsibilities hereunder without notice to you. These Terms are not assignable, transferable or sublicenseable by you except with our prior written consent.

These Terms are a contract between you and the Company. The Terms constitute the entire understandings between you and us, and revoke and supersede all prior agreements between us, and are intended as a final expression of our agreement. These Terms shall take precedence over any other documents that may be in conflict therewith. Any heading, caption or section title contained in these Terms is inserted only as a matter of convenience and in no way defines or explains any section or provision hereof.

Any such modification will be effective immediately upon notice to you (or if otherwise stated in the notice), which we may provide by any means including, without limitation, posting the amended Terms on our website or by sending an electronic mail to you. Your continued use of the Service after the effective date of any such modifications will be deemed acceptance of such modified Terms.

You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against the Company and its affiliates, directors, officers, employees and representatives must be resolved by a court located in Tel-Aviv, Israel, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
