Such Reviews are governed by the terms of this Agreement, including, without limitation, your agreement regarding your use of Interactive Areas. Reviews do not reflect the views of the Sites, their parents, affiliates or subsidiaries, operational providers, or their respective employees, officers, directors, or shareholders.
The Sites do not assume responsibility or liability for any reviews or any claims, damages, or losses resulting from the use of this service or the Materials contained therein. Reviews that are submitted to the Sites shall be owned exclusively and in perpetuity by the Sites. Such exclusive ownership means that the Sites, their parents, subsidiaries, or affiliates have the unrestricted, perpetual, and exclusive right to use, reproduce, modify, translate, transmit, distribute or otherwise exploit any materials and communications.
There shall be no obligation to give credit or pay any consideration to you for any Reviews. The Sites reserve the right to delete or modify any review that we determine to violate the terms of this Agreement or general standards of good taste at any time and our sole discretion. We strive to maintain a high level of integrity with our user-submitted Reviews, and any submission that is determined to be disingenuous in any way, and could diminish the overall quality of our Reviews, will be removed.
- Copyright Infringement and Trademark Rights
We respect the intellectual property rights of others. Accordingly, we have a policy of removing User Submissions that violate copyright law, suspending access to the Services (or any portion thereof) to any user who uses the Services in violation of copyright law, and/or terminate in appropriate circumstances the account of any user who uses the Services in violation of copyright law.
According to Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), we have implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims per such law. If you believe a user of the Services is infringing your copyright, please provide written notice to our agent listed below for notice of claims of copyright infringement.
Medium Large LLC., 13217 Jamboree Road #151, Tustin CA 92782.
E-mail: privacy@mediumlargela.com
Your written notice must:
-
- contain your physical or electronic signature;
- identify the copyrighted work alleged to have been infringed;
- identify the allegedly infringing material in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material;
- contain adequate information by which we can contact you (including postal address, telephone number, and email address);
- include a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or the law;
- contain a statement that the information in the written notice is accurate; and
- provide a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Please do not send notices or inquiries unrelated to alleged copyright infringement to our designated copyright agent.
If you believe that your trademark is being used somewhere on the Services in a way that constitutes trademark infringement, the owner or an agent of the owner may notify us at privacy@mediumlargela.com.
We ask that any complaints provide the true identity of the owner, how we may contact you, and the specific nature of the claim.
If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongfully filed a notice of copyright infringement 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.
Send counter-notices to the same addresses listed above and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located, or, if the content provider’s address is located outside the United States, for any jurisdictional area in which Company is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If the Designated Agent receives a counter-notice, Company may, in its discretion, send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Company may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider accused of infringing, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Company’s discretion.
If the Sites receive more than one Notice of Copyright Infringement concerning a user, the user may be deemed a “repeat copyright infringer.” The Sites reserve the right to terminate the accounts of “repeat copyright infringers.”
Material on our Sites may include inaccuracies or typographical errors. We have the right to make changes and update any information contained on our Sites without prior notice.

Applicability of Arbitration Agreement
The parties shall use their best efforts to settle any dispute, claim, question, or disagreement arising out of or relating to the subject matter of these Terms directly through good-faith negotiations, which shall be a precondition to either party initiating the arbitration. If such talks do not resolve the dispute, it shall be finally settled by binding arbitration in the State of California.
The arbitration will proceed in the English language, per the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures (the “Rules”) then in effect, by one commercial arbitrator with substantial experience in resolving intellectual property and commercial contract disputes. The arbitrator shall be selected from the appropriate list of JAMS arbitrators by such Rules. Judgment upon the award rendered by such arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
Costs of Arbitration
The Rules will govern payment of all arbitration fees. Medium Large, LLC. will pay all arbitration fees for claims less than ten thousand ($10,000) dollars. Medium Large, LLC. will not seek its attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration unless the arbitrator determines that your claim is frivolous.
Small Claims Court; Infringement
Either you or Medium Large, LLC. may assert claims, if they qualify, in small claims court in the State of California or any United States county where you live or work. Furthermore, notwithstanding the preceding obligation to arbitrate disputes, each party shall have the right to pursue injunctive or other equitable relief at any time, from any 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.

WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, AND ELECT INSTEAD TO HAVE THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE.
Waiver of Class or Consolidated Actions
ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WITHIN THE SCOPE OF THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS BASIS. CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE ARBITRATED OR LITIGATED JOINTLY OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. IF HOWEVER, THIS WAIVER OF CLASS OR CONSOLIDATED ACTIONS IS DEEMED INVALID OR UNENFORCEABLE, NEITHER YOU NOR MEDIUM LARGE, LLC. IS ENTITLED TO ARBITRATION; INSTEAD, ALL CLAIMS AND DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED IN A COURT AS OUTLINED IN (G) BELOW.
