Accordingly, Users may not post, modify, distribute, or reproduce in any way any Content on the Site that is copyrighted material you do not own or have permission to use, without obtaining prior written consent of the copyright owner. Takavi Tutors reserves the right, in its discretion, to remove any Content if we believe it may infringe the copyright rights of others, and/or to terminate the accounts of Users who we believe to be infringers.

If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, we will respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), a federal law that 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 content or material hosted on the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Takavi Tutors a notice requesting that the content or material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:

(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);

(c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Takavi Tutors to locate the content or material within the Site;

; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party;

(e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the content or material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and

and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed 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 http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Takavi Tutors’s representative for notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement can be reached as follows:

Takavi Tutors LLC, 2302 Parklake Dr. Ste 513 #1254, Atlanta, GA 30345, United States

Phone: 6789385152, support@takavitutors.com

We suggest that you consult with a legal advisor before filing a notice under the DMCA. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Takavi Tutors reserves the right to suspend and/or terminate any User with or without notice at any time in its sole discretion, for any reason or no reason. You agree that, if you are suspended and/or terminated, you will make no further use of the Site after termination or during suspension.

16. Disclaimer of warranties

The site, including the information, services, and content, is provided on an “as is”, “as available”, and “with all faults” basis.

17. Limitation of liability

The site offers a marketplace for those seeking tutoring services to connect with those seeking to provide tutoring services.

You understand and agree that Takavi tutors has no control over the acts or omissions of any user on or off the site and that Takavi tutors makes no representations or warranties about the quality of the services provided by any user. You understand and agree that Takavi tutors is not responsible for the performance or conduct, whether on or off the site, of any user. As such, Takavi tutors expressly disclaims, and each user expressly releases Takavi tutors from, any and all liability whatsoever for any controversies, claims, suits, injuries and/or damages arising from and/or in any way related to the site, including without limitation any acts and/or omissions of users on or off the site.

Users of the site transact between themselves. Takavi tutors will not be involved in any user interactions. Takavi tutors is not responsible for disputes, claims, loss, injury, or damage of any kind that might arise during and after user interaction.

To the full extent permitted by law, Takavi tutors is not liable for any direct, indirect, punitive, special, incidental, consequential, or exemplary damages (including without limitation loss of business, revenue, profits, goodwill, use, data, electronically transmitted orders, or other economic advantage) arising out of or in connection with the site, even if takavi tutors has previously been advised of, or reasonably could have foreseen, the possibility of such damages, however they arise, whether in breach of contract or in tort (including negligence), including without limitation damages due to:

(b) the cost or procurement of substitute goods and services resulting from any goods, data, information, or services purchased or obtained, or messages received or transactions entered into, through or from the site;

(d) content or information users may download, use, modify, or distribute. These limitations shall apply notwithstanding any failure of essential purpose of any limited remedy. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitations may not apply to you. In no event shall takavi tutors’s total liability to you for all damages, losses and causes of action, whether in contract, tort (including but not limited to, negligence) or otherwise, exceed (a) the amount paid by you to takavi tutors or a takavi tutors partner, if any, or (b) $200 (whichever is less).

You and takavi tutors agree that the warranty disclaimers and limitations of liability in these terms are material, bargained-for bases of this agreement, and that they have been taken into account in determining the consideration to be given by each party under this agreement and in the decision by each party to enter into this agreement.

20. Arbitration

This section explains the process of resolving any disputes between Takavi Tutors and a Tutor; Takavi Tutors and a Student; or Takavi Tutors, a Tutor, and a Student. All disputes shall be resolved through arbitration instead of through the courts. Specifically:

Any dispute in any way related to the Site, its use, User (i.e. Tutor, Student) conduct, or the Terms must go to binding arbitration under the provisions of the Terms. The arbitrator must apply the Consumer Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in effect at the time you consent to the Terms. Copies of the Consumer Arbitration Rules may be obtained at any AAA office, at www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at 1-800- 778-7879. To clarify, this arbitration provision does not govern disputes occurring only between a Tutor and a Student.

If the Consumer Arbitration Rules and this arbitration provision disagree on something, then the terms of this arbitration provision control, unless the arbitrator determines that doing so would result in a fundamentally unfair arbitration proceeding. In that situation, the Consumer Arbitration Rules control. This arbitration provision must be construed and enforced in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq.

Individual Claims Only: You and Takavi tutors agree that each of us may bring claims, suits, actions or causes of action against the other only on an individual basis and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective or representative proceeding. However, a representative claim (but not a class action) may be brought in arbitration where otherwise mandated by law. Unless both you and Takavi tutors agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate or join more than one person’s or party’s claims and may not otherwise preside over any form of a consolidated, representative, collective or class proceeding. Also, except as mandated by law, the arbitrator may award relief (including monetary, injunctive, and declaratory relief) only in favor of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief necessitated by that party’s individual claim(s). Except as mandated by law, any relief awarded cannot affect other Takavi tutors users.

Location of the Arbitration Hearing: There may be a hearing as a part of the arbitration process. If that is the case, the arbitration hearing will be conducted at a location that is reasonably convenient to all parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. The judgment of the arbitration award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Attorneys’ Fees: Each party will pay its own attorneys’ fees, unless the law provides that the prevailing party is entitled to have the other party pay its reasonable attorneys’ fees. You will bear only those costs of arbitration that you would have borne had you brought a claim covered by this arbitration provision in court. If you demonstrate to the arbitrator that the costs of arbitration will be prohibitive as compared to the costs of litigation, Takavi Tutors will pay as much of the arbitration fees as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive to you.

Disputes Before Administrative Agencies Not Subject to Arbitration: Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this arbitration provision, disputes may be brought before an administrative agency to the extent applicable law requires access to an agency notwithstanding the existence of this arbitration provision. Nothing in this arbitration provision: (i) relieves any party of the duty to exhaust administrative remedies by filing a charge or complaint with an administrative agency and obtaining a right to sue notice, where otherwise required by law; or (ii) prevents either party from cooperating with a federal or state body as required by law. However, you understand that you are not entitled to a double recovery or eligible to receive any monetary benefit from any action brought by an administrative agency except as required by law.

Exclusive Judicial Forum If the Arbitration Provisions are Not Enforceable: In the event that a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction determines that this arbitration provision is unenforceable, you agree that the exclusive forum and/or venue for any dispute in any way related to the use, inability to use, or provision of these Terms is any Georgia State Court or Federal Court sitting in Fulton County, GA. You hereby submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for purposes of any such proceeding and agree not to seek to transfer the matter to a different court for any reason.

21. Injunction

Notwithstanding the Arbitration terms set forth herein, Users agree that any material breach of the Terms will result in irreparable harm to Takavi Tutors for which damages would be an inadequate remedy and, therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, Takavi Tutors reserves the right to seek will equitable relief through the court system, 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 Takavi Tutors seeks such an injunction.

22. Notices; modification and termination of services; amendment of terms

Takavi Tutors may provide notice to Users via email, regular mail, or posting notices or links to notices on the Site.
