    DMCA Notification
    To be effective, the notification must be written and include the following (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA to confirm these requirements):

    1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
    2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
    3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
    4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
    5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

After removing material according to a valid DMCA notice, we will immediately notify the individual responsible for the allegedly infringing material that we have removed or disabled access to the material.

If you do not comply with all of the requirements of this Copyright Policy, your DMCA notice may not be valid. Only DMCA notices should go to our Designated Agent. If you send an email or notice to our Designated Agent without a proper subject line, or for purposes other than communication about copyright claims, we may not acknowledge or respond to your communication. Any other Feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to our customer service at legal@episodesolutions.com.

  2. The Services are only available to users within the United States (“U.S.”). If you are located outside the U.S., do not use our Services.
  1. Dispute Resolution; Arbitration
  1. Dispute Resolution. If you have any dispute with us, you must first give us an opportunity to resolve the dispute by sending a written description of your claim to us at legal@episodesolutions.com. We each agree to negotiate your claim in good faith. If we are unable to resolve the claim within 60 days after we acknowledge receipt of this claim description, you may pursue your claim in arbitration as described below.
  2. Binding Arbitration. We each agree that, except as provided below and to the extent permitted by law, any and all claims or disputes in any way related to or concerning these Terms or our Services, including any billing disputes, will be resolved by binding arbitration. We each also agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce so that the Federal Arbitration Act and Federal Arbitration Law apply. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator must follow these Terms and can award the same damages and relief as a court (including attorneys’ fees).
  1. Arbitration. Any dispute relating to these Terms or the Services that are not resolved by our dispute resolution process above may be resolved by binding arbitration to be held in the county of Davidson, Tennessee, in accordance with the rules then in effect of the American Arbitration Association. The parties will mutually agree on a single arbitrator. If the parties cannot mutually agree, the arbitrator will be appointed by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator may grant injunctions or other relief in such dispute or controversy. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding on the parties to the arbitration. Judgment may be entered on the arbitrator’s decision in any court of competent jurisdiction. The party that does not prevail shall pay all of the costs and expenses of such arbitration, and each party shall separately pay its respective counsel fees and expenses. The arbitrator will not have the power to award damages in excess of the limitation on actual compensatory, direct damages set forth in these Terms and may not multiply actual damages or award punitive damages or any other damages that are specifically excluded under these Terms, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any claim to such damages.
  2. Class Action Waiver. We each agree that any proceedings, whether in arbitration or court, will be conducted only on an individual basis and not in a class or representative action or as a member in a class, consolidated or representative action. If a court or arbitrator determines in an action between you and us that this Class Action Waiver is unenforceable, the arbitration agreement will be void as to you.
  3. Jury Trial Waiver. If a claim proceeds in court rather than through arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial.
  4. Injunctive Relief. You agree that any material breach of Section 7 of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to Episode Solutions and damages would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Episode Solutions will be entitled to equitable relief, including both a preliminary and permanent injunction, if such a breach occurs. You waive any requirement for the posting of a bond or other security if Episode Solutions seeks such an injunction.
  1. General Terms
  1. You must not assign or otherwise transfer the Terms or any right granted hereunder.
  2. Sections 3, 5, 6.a.i, 6.a.ii, 6.b, 6.c, 6.f, 6.j, 7.a, 7.c, 8, 12, 13, 15, 16, and 17 survive will remain in full effect after termination or expiration of the Terms.
  3. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under the Terms will not create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement. If any provision of the Terms is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government, or by any court or arbitrator, the parties agree that such provision will be replaced with a new provision that accomplishes the original business purpose, and the other provisions of the Terms will remain in full force and effect.
  4. Episode Solutions reserves the right at all times to disclose any information as Episode Solutions deems necessary to satisfy any applicable law, regulation, legal process or governmental request, or to edit, refuse to post or to remove any information or materials, in whole or in part, in Episode Solutions’ sole discretion.
  5. A printed version of these Terms and of any notices given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to this agreement to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form.
