2. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (“DMCA”) NOTICE
Content available with respect to the Services may include material provided by or received from third parties. RX does not permit copyright infringing materials of others and will remove any such content if properly notified of such violation in accordance with the procedure set forth below.
If an entity or individual has a good faith belief that materials hosted by RX infringe their copyright, they (or their agent) may send RX a written notice requesting that the allegedly infringing material be removed or access to it blocked, pursuant to Section 512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"). The notice must include the following information:
i. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
ii. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
iii. Identification of the material that is 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 RX to locate the material.
iv. Information reasonably sufficient to permit RX to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
v. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
vi. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If there is a good-faith belief that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed, the DMCA permits the target to send RX a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services should be sent to Reed Exhibitions, a division of RELX Inc., Attn: Legal Department, 201 Merritt 7, Norwalk, CT 06851 with an email copy of the notice sent to [email protected]. Please consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. It is RX’s policy to terminate relationships regarding content with third parties who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. Upon receiving the above information, RX will promptly investigate and take appropriate action.
13. We provide the Services using a commercially reasonable level of skill and care, but neither RX nor its suppliers or licensors make any specific promises about the Services, including the Content or any Submission therein. The Services and the Content, including, but not limited to, the information, names, images, pictures, logos and icons regarding or relating to RX, its products and services, or regarding or relating to any third parties, their products or services, are provided "AS IS" without any representation or endorsement made and without warranty of any kind whether express or implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties of satisfactory quality, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, compatibility, security and accuracy. To the extent permitted under applicable law, neither RX nor its suppliers and licensors assume responsibility for any injury and/or damage to persons, animals or property as a matter of products liability, malpractice, failure to warn, negligence or otherwise, or from any use or operation of any ideas, instructions, methods, tests, products or procedures displayed on the Services or incorporated in the Content or any Submission included in or accessible from the Services. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL RX OR ITS SUPPLIERS OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, OR SIMILAR DAMAGES, PERSONAL INJURY (INCLUDING DEATH), LOSS OF PROFITS, CORRUPTION OR LOSS OF DATA, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR ANY OTHER COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SERVICES OR THE CONTENT OR SUBMISSIONS, OR SHALL THE LIABILITY OF RX OR ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS EXCEED A SUM EQUAL TO THE FEES PAID BY YOU HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. RX does not warrant that the functions contained in the material contained in Services will be uninterrupted or error free, that defects will be corrected, or that the Services or a related server are free of viruses or bugs or represents the full functionality, accuracy, and reliability of the materials. The names, images and logos identifying RX or third parties and their products and services are the respective proprietary marks of RX/or third parties. Nothing contained within these Terms and Conditions shall be construed as granting or conferring any intellectual property rights or other rights to any content of RX or of any other third party, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise.
14. RX does not claim ownership, endorse or take responsibility for any third-party products, information, guidelines, materials or services that may be offered, advertised, provided or displayed on the Service or incorporated in the Content or any Submission contained on, accessible from or distributed through the Services.
15. You hereby agree to indemnify and hold RX, its directors, officers, shareholders, predecessors, successors in interest, employees, agents, suppliers and licensors harmless from and against any and all third-party claims of liability, losses, damages and costs, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' or legal fees, arising out of or in connection with your violation of these Terms and Conditions, and your use of or inability to use any of the Services or the Content or Submissions.
16. The Services may contain links to third-party sites or resources. We do not endorse and are not responsible or liable for any content, advertising, products or other materials on or available from external sites or resources linked to the Services. Transactions that occur between you and any third party are strictly between you and the third party and are not the responsibility of RX.
17. Some Services may require you to register. If registration is required, you agree to provide accurate and complete registration information. It is your responsibility to inform RX of any changes to that information. Each registration is for a single individual only, unless specifically designated otherwise on the registration page. RX does not permit a) anyone other than you to use the sections requiring registration by using your name or password; or b) access through a single name being made available to multiple users on a network or otherwise. As a registered user of a Service, RX grants to you a non-transferable, non-exclusive and revocable license to use the Service according to these Terms and Conditions. Except as expressly granted herein or in any other agreement you have with RX, you acquire no right, title or license in the Service or any Content or Submission accessed from or incorporated in the Service.
18. If you use a password to access a Service, you must not reveal your password and must take reasonable steps to keep your password confidential and secure. You agree to immediately notify RX if you become aware of or have reason to believe that there is any unauthorized use of your password or account or any other breach of security. RX is in no way liable for any claims or losses related to the use or misuse of your password or account due to the activities of any third party outside of our control or due to your failure to maintain their confidentiality and security.
19. Term and Termination: Any license granted to you to use any Service is effective until it expires, until RX terminates it, or until you provide notice to RX of your decision to terminate it. Your rights under the license will terminate automatically without notice to you if you fail to comply with any of the provisions of these Terms and Conditions. RX reserves the right to suspend, discontinue or change a Service, or its availability to you, at any time without notice. Upon termination of the license to a Service, you shall cease all use of the Service.
20. Export Controls: Where the Service, its Content or any Submission consist of software that is subject to US, EU or any other Export Controls, you represent and warrant that (i) you are not located in a country that is subject to a U.S. Government, EU or other embargo, or that has been designated by the U.S. Government or the EU as a “terrorist supporting” country; and (ii) you are not listed on any U.S. Government, EU or any other list of prohibited or restricted parties.
21. No Assignment: You may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms and Conditions to anyone.
22. No Waiver: Neither failure nor delay on the part of RX to exercise or enforce any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder nor course of dealing between the parties shall operate as a waiver thereof, or of the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege. No part of these Terms and Conditions shall be deemed waived, and no breach consented to, unless such waiver or consent shall be in writing and signed by the party claimed to have waived or consented. No waiver of any rights or consent to any breaches shall constitute a waiver of any other rights or consent to any other breach.
23. Additional Terms: Additional or superceding terms and conditions may apply to purchases or supply of goods or services including intellectual property, to specific portions or features of a Service, and to subscriptions or licenses with entities with which you may be employed or affiliated. If there is a conflict between these Terms and Conditions and the terms that are posted for or applicable to a specific portion of the Service, for any service offered on or through the Service, or set forth in a subscription or license agreement, the latter terms shall control.
24. Compliance with Laws: You agree to comply with relevant laws and regulations that apply to your use of the Services, Content or any Submission.
25. Severability: If any provision in these Terms and Conditions is held invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
26. Governing Law: These Terms and Conditions and all matters relating to access to or use of the Services, including disputes, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, except if the access to or use of the Services relates to the RX entities in Mexico or Brazil, in which case the laws of Mexico or Brazil shall apply, as applicable. Disputes arising here from shall be exclusively subject to the jurisdiction and venue of the appropriate courts in the borough of Manhattan and State of New York, provided, however, if the access to or use of the Services relates to the RX entities in Mexico or Brazil, then the courts located in Mexico or Brazil, as applicable, will have exclusive jurisdiction. Any claim arising out of or in connection with your use of or inability to use the Service or the Content or any Submission must be brought within one (1) year after the event or such claim is barred.
If these Terms and Conditions are not accepted in full, you do not have permission to access the site and/or Services and therefore should cease using the Services immediately.
