The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") gives recourse to copyright owners who believe material on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have a good faith belief that material on the Phlex65 Services or the Content infringes your copyright, to the extent allowed by law you or your agent may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed or that or access to it be blocked (the “Notice”). The Notice must contain the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest; (ii) a description of the copyrighted Work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed; (iii) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Service; (iv) your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and (vi) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner's behalf. 

If you believe in good faith that a Notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by us against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See www.loc.gov/copyright for details. You may wish to consult your legal adviser before filing a Notice or counter-notice. Please be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

18.     Dispute resolution 

Agreement to binding arbitration between you and Phlex65 

You and Phlex65 mutually agree to waive our respective rights to resolution of disputes in a court of law by a judge or jury and agree to resolve any dispute by arbitration, as set forth below. This agreement to arbitrate (“Arbitration Agreement”) is governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and survives after the Agreement terminates or your relationship with Phlex65 ends. Any arbitration under this Agreement will take place on an individual basis; class arbitrations and class actions are not permitted. Except as expressly provided below, this Arbitration Agreement applies to all Claims between you and us. “Claims” include, but are not limited to, any dispute, claim or controversy, whether based on past, present, or future events, arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the Phlex65 Services. 

Prohibition of class actions 

You understand and agree that you and Phlex65 may each bring Claims in arbitration against the other only in an individual capacity and not on a class, collective action, or representative basis (“Class Action Waiver”). You understand and agree that you and Phlex65 both are waiving the right to pursue or have a dispute resolved as a plaintiff or class member.

​

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the American Arbitration Association Rules (“AAA”), disputes regarding the scope, applicability, enforceability, revocability or validity of the Class Action Waiver may be resolved only by a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not by an arbitrator. In any case in which: (a) the dispute is filed as a class, collective, or representative action and (b) there is a final judicial determination that the Class Action Waiver is unenforceable as to any Claims, the class, collective, and/or representative action on such Claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction, but the Class Action Waiver shall be enforced in arbitration on an individual basis as to all other Claims to the fullest extent possible.

Rules governing the arbitration

Any arbitration shall be administered by the AAA pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules that are in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, as modified by the terms set forth in this Agreement. Copies of these rules can be obtained at the AAA’s website (www.adr.org). Notwithstanding the foregoing, if requested by you and if appropriate based on the facts and circumstances of the Claims presented, the arbitrator shall have the discretion to select a different set of AAA Rules, but in no event shall the arbitrator consolidate more than one person’s Claims, or otherwise preside over any form of representative, collective, or class proceeding. 

The arbitrator will decide the substance of all claims in accordance with applicable law, and will honor all claims of privilege recognized by law. The arbitrator shall not be bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving different parties, but is bound by rulings in prior arbitrations involving the same party to the extent required by applicable law. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding and judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, provided that any award may be challenged in a court of competent jurisdiction.

 

Location and Manner of Arbitration 

Any arbitration hearings or proceedings shall take place in Santa Clara County, California. 

Severability 

If any portion of these arbitration provisions is deemed illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision shall be severed and the remainder of the arbitration provisions in this Agreement shall be given full force and effect.

​

19.     Confidentiality
 

You agree not to use any technical, financial, strategic and other proprietary and confidential information relating to Phlex65’s business, operations and properties, including User information (“Confidential Information”) disclosed to you by Phlex65 for your own use or for any purpose other than as contemplated in this Agreement. You shall not disclose or permit disclosure of any Confidential Information to third parties. You agree to take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of, and avoid disclosure or use of, Confidential Information of Phlex65 in order to prevent it from falling into the public domain. Notwithstanding the above, you shall not have liability to Phlex65 with regard to any Confidential Information which you can prove: (a) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed by Phlex65 or has entered the public domain through no fault of yours; (b) was known to you, without restriction, at the time of disclosure, as demonstrated by files in existence at the time of disclosure; (c) is disclosed with the prior written approval of Phlex65; (d) becomes known to you, without restriction, from a source other than Phlex65 without breach of this Agreement by you and otherwise not in violation of Phlex65’s rights; or (e) is disclosed pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body; provided, however, that you shall provide prompt notice of such court order or requirement to Phlex65 to enable Phlex65 to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or restrict such disclosure.

​

20.     Your relationship with Phlex65

You acknowledge and agree that your use of the Phlex65 Services does not create between you and Phlex65 any relationship of employment, joint venture, partnership, or agency.

 
Phlex65 does not, and shall not be deemed to, direct or control the giving or receiving of Caregiving Services. You retain the sole right to determine when, where, and for how long you will utilize the Phlex65 Services. Clients have sole discretion whether or not to solicit a particular Caregiver. Caregivers have sole discretion (a) whether to accept, decline, or ignore a Client’s request for Caregiving Services via the Phlex65 Services and (b) engage in other business or employment activities.

​

21.     Modification to this Agreement

 

If Phlex65 modifies this Agreement, such modifications are binding on you only upon your acceptance of the modified Agreement. Phlex65 reserves the right to modify any information referenced in the links from this Agreement from time to time, and such modifications become effective upon posting. Your continued use of the Phlex65 Services after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

 

22.     General Provisions

Except as provided in Section 18 regarding arbitration, this Agreement shall be governed and interpreted by the laws of the State of California without regard to choice of law principles. If any provision of this Agreement is or becomes invalid or non-binding, the parties shall remain bound by all other provisions hereof. In that event, the parties shall replace the invalid or non- binding provision with provisions that are valid and binding and that have, to the greatest extent possible, a similar effect as the invalid or non-binding provision, given the purpose of this Agreement. You agree that this Agreement and all incorporated agreements may be automatically assigned by Phlex65, in our sole discretion, by providing notice to you. Except as explicitly stated otherwise, any notices to Phlex65 shall be given by certified mail, postage prepaid and return receipt requested to MACMA GROUP, LLC, 2999 Neal Avenue, San Jose, California 95128-3332. Any notices to you shall be provided to you through the Phlex65 Services or given to you via the email address or physical address you provide to Phlex65 during the registration process. Headings are for reference purposes only and in no way define, limit, construe or describe the scope or extent of such section. A party’s failure to act with respect to a breach by the other party does not constitute a waiver of the party’s right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches. This Agreement, along with any separate agreement you may enter into with Phlex65 in your particular role as a Client or Caregiver, sets forth the entire understanding and agreement between you and Phlex65 with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all previous understandings and agreements between the parties, whether oral or written.
