We expect users of the DFH Sites to respect the intellectual property rights of others. It is our policy to respond appropriately to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents an infringement may be subject to liability. We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA counter-notification.

Forum Selection/Jurisdiction (INAPPLICABLE TO QUEBEC RESIDENTS).

Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue of the federal and state courts in, or with jurisdiction over, in Flagler County, Florida for any and all purposes.
Pre-Arbitration Notification (INAPPLICABLE TO QUEBEC RESIDENTS). DFH and you agree that it would be advantageous to discuss and hopefully resolve any Disputes before formal proceedings are initiated; provided, however, that DFH need not do so in circumstances where its claims of Intellectual Property rights are concerned ("IP Disputes," with all other disputes referred to as "General Disputes"). The party making a claim – whether you or DFH – shall send a letter to the other side briefly summarizing the claim and the request for relief. If DFH is making a claim, the letter shall be sent, via email, to the email address listed in your DFH account, if applicable. If no such information exists or if such information is not current, then we have no notification or delay obligations under this Section. If you are making a claim, the letter shall be sent to Designs for Health, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 14 Commerce Blvd, Palm Coast, FL 32164. If the Dispute is not resolved within sixty (60) days after notification, the claimant may proceed to initiate proceedings as set forth in this Section. Either you or DFH, however, may seek provisional remedies (such as preliminary injunctive relief, subject to the exceptions disclosed herein) before the expiration of this sixty (60)-day period.
Arbitration of Claims. (INAPPLICABLE TO QUEBEC RESIDENTS). Unless you give us notice of opt-out within five (5) business days of your first use of a DFH Site, addressed to: Designs for Health, Inc., Attn: General Counsel, 14 Commerce Blvd, Palm Coast, FL 32164, all actions or proceedings arising in connection with, touching upon or relating to any Dispute, or the scope of the provisions of this Section, shall be submitted to JAMS (www.jamsadr.com) for final and binding arbitration under its Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is over $250,000 or under its Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures if the matter in dispute is $250,000 or less, to be held in Flagler County, Florida , before a single arbitrator. If the matter in dispute is between DFH and a consumer, the matter shall be submitted to JAMS in accordance with its Policy on Consumer Arbitration Pursuant to Pre-Dispute Clauses Minimum Standards of Procedural Fairness. The arbitrator shall be selected by mutual agreement of the parties or, if the parties cannot agree, then by striking from a list of arbitrators supplied by JAMS.
We may have the right to pay the JAMS fees if required for arbitration to be enforceable. The arbitration shall be a confidential proceeding, closed to the general public; provided, however, that a party may disclose information relating to the arbitration proceedings to its and its affiliates' lawyers, insurance providers, auditors and other professional advisers. The fact that there is a dispute between the parties that is the subject of arbitration shall be confidential to the same extent. The arbitrator shall issue a written opinion stating the essential findings and conclusions upon which the arbitrator's award is based. Neither party shall be entitled or permitted to commence or maintain any action in a court of law with respect to any matter in dispute until such matter shall have been submitted to arbitration as herein provided and then only for the enforcement of the arbitrator's award; provided, however, that prior to the appointment of the arbitrator or for remedies beyond the jurisdiction of an arbitrator, at any time, either party may seek pendente lite relief (subject to the provisions of these Terms of Use waiving or limiting that relief) in a court of competent jurisdiction in Flagler County, Florida, or, if sought by DFH, such other court that may have jurisdiction over you, without thereby waiving its right to arbitration of the dispute or controversy under this section; provided further, however, that the losing party shall have fifteen (15) business days after the issuance of the arbitrator's decision to fully comply with such decision, after which the prevailing party may enforce such decision by a petition to the court or, in the case of you, such other court having jurisdiction over you, which may be made ex parte, for confirmation and enforcement of the award.
Limitation on Injunctive Relief. AS PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IF YOU CLAIM THAT YOU HAVE INCURRED ANY LOSS, DAMAGES, OR INJURIES IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR USE OF THE DFH SITES, THEN THE LOSSES, DAMAGES, AND INJURIES WILL NOT BE DEEMED IRREPARABLE OR SUFFICIENT TO ENTITLE YOU TO AN INJUNCTION OR TO OTHER EQUITABLE RELIEF OF ANY KIND. THIS MEANS (WITHOUT LIMITATION) THAT, IN CONNECTION WITH YOUR CLAIM, YOU AGREE THAT YOU WILL NOT SEEK, AND THAT YOU WILL NOT BE PERMITTED TO OBTAIN, ANY COURT OR OTHER ACTION THAT MAY INTERFERE WITH OR PREVENT THE DEVELOPMENT OR EXPLOITATION OF ANY WEBSITE, APPLICATION, MATERIALS, USER CONTENT, PRODUCT, SERVICE, OR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY OWNED, LICENSED, USED, OR CONTROLLED BY ANY DFH PARTY (DEFINED BELOW) (INCLUDING YOUR LICENSED USER CONTENT) OR A LICENSOR OF ANY DFH PARTY.

This section shall be governed solely by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1, et seq., and not by the law of any state, and is enforceable pursuant to its terms on a self-executing basis. You and DFH agree that we intend that this section satisfies the "writing" requirement of the Federal Arbitration Act. This section can only be amended by mutual agreement. Either party may seek enforcement of this section in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrator shall determine any and all challenges to the arbitrability of a claim.
Class Action and Trial by Jury Waiver. (INAPPLICABLE TO QUEBEC RESIDENTS). DISPUTES WILL BE ARBITRATED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND WILL NOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATIONS OR OTHER PROCEEDINGS THAT INVOLVE ANY CLAIM OR CONTROVERSY OF ANY OTHER PARTY.
