Dispute Resolution

If a dispute arises between you and Switcher Studio, Our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and Switcher Studio agree that We will resolve any claim or controversy, at law or equity, that arises out of these Terms, this website or Our business in accordance with one of the subsections below or as We and you otherwise agree in writing. Before resorting to these alternatives, We strongly encourage you to first contact Us directly to seek a resolution. We may consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation or arbitration, as alternatives to litigation.

Law and Forum for Legal Disputes. These Terms and any dispute arising out of or related to them, this website or Our business will be governed in all respects by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky as they apply to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within Kentucky between Kentucky residents, without regard to conflict of law provisions. You agree that any claim or dispute you may have against Switcher Studio must be resolved exclusively by a state or federal court located in Louisville, Kentucky, except as otherwise agreed by the parties or as described in the Arbitration Option paragraph below. You agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within Louisville, Kentucky for the purpose of litigating all such claims or disputes.

The website is operated out of the United States of America. We do not represent the content or materials present in the website are appropriate for use in other locations. If you access the website from a jurisdiction outside of the United States, you agree that you do so on your own initiative, and are responsible for compliance with local laws where you reside or where you access the website, if and to the extent that such laws are applicable to your use of the website.

Arbitration Option. For any claim or dispute (excluding claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, the party requesting relief may elect to resolve the dispute in a cost effective manner through binding non-appearance-based arbitration. In the event a party elects arbitration, such person will initiate such arbitration through an established alternative dispute resolution (“ADR”) provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. The ADR provider and the parties must comply with the following rules: (1) the arbitration will be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions, and the specific manner will be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (2) the arbitration will not involve any personal appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties; and (3) any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator will be final and may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against Switcher Studio must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All claims filed or brought contrary to these provisions will be considered improperly filed. Should you file a claim contrary to these provisions, Switcher Studio will be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $1000, provided that Switcher Studio has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw the claim.

Severability

You and Switcher Studio agree that if any portion of these Terms or of the Switcher Studio Privacy Policy is found illegal or unenforceable, in whole or in part by any court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective solely to the extent of such determination of invalidity or unenforceability without affecting the validity or enforceability thereof in any other manner or jurisdiction and without affecting the remaining provisions of these Terms, which will continue in full force and effect.

General Provisions

Assignment. Switcher Studio may assign or delegate these Terms and/or the Switcher Studio Privacy Policy, in whole or in part, to any person or entity at any time with or without your consent.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, any supplemental policies and any documents expressly incorporated by reference herein (including Our Privacy Policy), contain the entire understanding between you and Switcher Studio, and supersede all prior understandings of the parties hereto relating to the subject matter hereof, whether electronic, oral or written, or whether established by custom, practice, policy or precedent, between you and Us with respect to this website or its use.

Language of the Terms. If We provide you with a translation of the English language version of these Terms, the Privacy Policy or any other policy (collectively “Switcher Studio Policies”), then you agree that the translation is provided for informational purposes only and does not modify the English language version of the Switcher Studio Policies. In the event of a conflict between a translation of the Switcher Studio Policies and the English version, the English version of the Switcher Studio Policies will control.

No Waiver. The failure of Switcher Studio to require or enforce strict performance by you of any provision of these Terms or the Switcher Studio Privacy Policy or failure to exercise any right under them will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of Our right to assert or rely upon any such provision or right in that or any other instance. The express waiver by Switcher Studio of any provision, condition or requirement of these Terms or the Privacy Policy will not constitute a waiver of any future obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.

Except as expressly and specifically set forth in this these Terms, no representations, statements, consents, waivers or other acts or omissions by Switcher Studio will be deemed a modification of these Terms nor be legally binding, unless documented in physical writing, hand signed by You and a duly appointed officer of Switcher Studio.

Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on this website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Switcher Studio a notice requesting that it remove the material or block access to it.

A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner, or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See copyright.gov for details.
