A written notification of claimed copyright infringement should be mailed to:
ShakeBlock LLC
Wyoming, USA
Attn: DMCA Agent

If we receive a counter-notice, we will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing them that we will restore the removed/disabled content within 14 business days unless the original complaining party tells us they have filed a court action relating to the content.

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR RIGHTS AND WILL HAVE A SUBSTANTIAL IMPACT ON HOW CLAIMS YOU AND WE HAVE AGAINST EACH OTHER ARE RESOLVED.
You and ShakeBlock, LLC agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the breach, termination, enforcement, interpretation or validity thereof, or the use of the Service (collectively, "Disputes") will be settled by binding arbitration, except that each party retains the right to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party's copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents, or other intellectual property rights.
You acknowledge and agree that you and ShakeBlock, LLC are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class action or representative proceeding. Unless both you and ShakeBlock, LLC otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative proceeding.
Notwithstanding the above, either party may bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim qualifies for small claims court in the jurisdiction where you reside.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Commercial Arbitration Rules and the Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes. The arbitration will be conducted in Wyoming, United States, unless you and ShakeBlock, LLC agree otherwise in writing. If the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties will select an alternative arbitral forum.
The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable. The arbitration will decide the rights and liabilities, if any, of you and ShakeBlock, LLC. The arbitrator's award shall be final and binding on all parties, except for a limited right of appeal under the Federal Arbitration Act.
Payment of all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules, unless otherwise stated in this arbitration agreement. If the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, ShakeBlock, LLC will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration. Any request for payment of fees by ShakeBlock, LLC should be submitted by mail to the address provided in the "Contact Information" section below.
You have the right to opt out of binding arbitration within 30 days of the date you first agreed to these Terms by sending written notice of your decision to opt out to: supportchat@chitrchat.com . The notice must include your name and address, and an unequivocal statement that you want to opt out of this arbitration agreement. If you opt out of this arbitration agreement, all other parts of these Terms will continue to apply to you.
Notwithstanding any provision in these Terms to the contrary, if ShakeBlock, LLC makes any future change to this arbitration provision (other than a change to the notice address), you may reject any such change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to the notice address above. By rejecting any future change, you are agreeing that you will arbitrate any dispute between us in accordance with the language of this arbitration provision as of the date you first accepted these Terms.
If any portion of this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable or unlawful for any reason, (1) the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall be severed from these Terms; (2) severance of the unenforceable or unlawful provision shall have no impact whatsoever on the remainder of the arbitration agreement or the parties' ability to compel arbitration of any remaining claims on an individual basis pursuant to the arbitration agreement; and (3) to the extent that any claims must therefore proceed on a class, collective, consolidated, or representative basis, such claims must be litigated in a civil court of competent jurisdiction and not in arbitration, and the parties agree that litigation of those claims shall be stayed pending the outcome of any individual claims in arbitration.
These Terms are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wyoming, United States, without regard to conflict of law principles.
For any disputes not subject to arbitration as set forth in Section 15 (Dispute Resolution By Binding Arbitration), any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service shall be brought exclusively in the federal or state courts located in Wyoming, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts, except where prohibited by applicable consumer protection laws.
Notwithstanding the above, mandatory consumer protection laws of your jurisdiction may apply regardless of this choice of law. Nothing in these Terms, including the arbitration agreement, limits any mandatory consumer rights that cannot be waived by agreement.
While the Service is accessible globally, we make no representation that the Service is appropriate or available for use in all jurisdictions. Users accessing the Service from jurisdictions where such access is illegal are prohibited from doing so.
The Service may be subject to export control laws and regulations. You agree not to export, re-export, or transfer the Service or any technology underlying the Service in violation of applicable export control laws.
You are responsible for compliance with all applicable local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction, including but not limited to data protection, consumer protection, and educational regulation laws.
These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and ShakeBlock, LLC regarding the Service and supersede all prior or contemporaneous understandings and agreements.
If any provision of these Terms is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect, and the invalid provision will be replaced with a valid provision that best approximates the intent of the original.
Our failure to enforce any right or provision of these Terms will not be deemed a waiver of such right or provision. Any waiver must be in writing and signed by an authorized representative.
You may not assign or transfer these Terms or your account without our prior written consent. We may assign these Terms and transfer our rights and obligations without restriction.
We will not be liable for any delay or failure to perform resulting from causes outside our reasonable control, including but not limited to acts of God, natural disasters, terrorism, labor strikes, or government actions.
These Terms are provided in English. In the event of any conflict between an English version and a translated version, the English version shall prevail.
We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time. When we make changes:
