SonicJobs’s policy is to: (a) remove or disable access to material that SonicJobs believes in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights owner or authorized agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being made available through the Service; and (b) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes other people’s copyright or other intellectual property rights. SonicJobs will terminate the accounts of users that are determined by SonicJobs to be repeat infringers. SonicJobs reserves the right, however, to suspend or terminate accounts of users in our sole discretion.
    5.  Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from SonicJobs that material made available by you on or through the Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide SonicJobs with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided to SonicJobs’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 27.a, and include substantially the following information:
      1. your physical or electronic signature;
      2. identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
      3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
      4. your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if you are residing outside of the United States, then for any judicial district in which SonicJobs may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under Section 11.2 above or an agent of that person.

A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.

  1. Reposting of Content Subject to a Counter Notification. If you submit a Counter Notification to SonicJobs in response to a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then SonicJobs will promptly provide the person who provided the Notification of Claimed Infringement with a copy of your Counter Notification and inform that person that SonicJobs will replace the removed User Content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days, and SonicJobs will replace the removed User Content and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless SonicJobs’s Designated Agent receives notice from the party that submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on SonicJobs’s system or network.
  2. False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications. The Copyright Act provides at 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) that: “[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section 512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of SonicJobs relying upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it.” SonicJobs reserves the right to seek damages from any party that submits a Notification of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notification in violation of the law.
  1. Arbitration.
    1. Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and SonicJobs in the most expedient and cost effective manner, and except as described in Section 28.b and 28.c and , you and SonicJobs agree that every dispute arising in connection with these Terms, the Service, and communications from us will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. This agreement to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, the Service, or any communications to or from us, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether a claim arises during or after the termination of these Terms. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT, BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS, YOU AND SONICJOBS ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.
    2. Exceptions.Despite the provisions of Section 28.a, nothing in these Terms will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit the right of either party to: (i) bring an individual action in small claims court; (ii) pursue an enforcement action through the applicable federal, state, or local agency if that action is available; (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law in aid of arbitration; or (iv) to file suit in a court of law to address an intellectual property infringement claim.
    3. Opt-Out.If you do not wish to resolve disputes by binding arbitration, you may opt out of the provisions of this Section 28 within 30 days after the date that you agree to these Terms by sending a letter to SonicJobs App Limited, Attention: Legal Department – Arbitration Opt-Out, Number 4, 7 Buckland Crescent, NW35DH, London, UK that specifies: your full legal name, the email address associated with your account on the Service, and a statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration (“Opt-Out Notice”). Once SonicJobs receives your Opt-Out Notice, this Section  will be void and any action arising out of these Terms will be resolved as set forth in Section 23. The remaining provisions of these Terms will not be affected by your Opt-Out Notice.
    4. Arbitrator.Any arbitration between you and SonicJobs will be settled under the Federal Arbitration Act and administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules (collectively, “AAA Rules”) as modified by these Terms. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at +1-800-778-7879, or by contacting SonicJobs. The arbitrator has exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, or enforceability of this binding arbitration agreement.
    5. Notice of Arbitration;Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified U.S. Mail or by Federal Express (signature required) or, only if that other party has not provided a current physical address, then by electronic mail (“Notice of Arbitration”). SonicJobs’ address for Notice of Arbitration is: SonicJobs App Limited, Number 4, 7 Buckland Crescent, NW35DH, London, UK. The Notice of Arbitration must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice of Arbitration is received, you or SonicJobs may commence an arbitration proceeding. All arbitration proceedings between the parties will be confidential unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or SonicJobs must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any. If the arbitrator awards you an amount higher than the last written settlement amount offered by SonicJobs in settlement of the dispute prior to the award, SonicJobs will pay to you the higher of: (1) the amount awarded by the arbitrator and (2) US$10,000. 
    6. Fees.If you commence arbitration in accordance with these Terms, SonicJobs will reimburse you for your payment of the filing fee, unless your claim is for more than US$10,000, in which case the payment of any fees will be decided by the AAA Rules. Any arbitration hearing will take place at a location to be agreed upon in the county and state of your residence address, but if the claim is for US$10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted: (a) solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator; (b) through a non-appearance based telephone hearing; or (c) by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules in the county (or parish) of your residence. If the arbitrator finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought in the Demand is frivolous or brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)), then the payment of all fees will be governed by the AAA Rules. In that case, you agree to reimburse SonicJobs for all monies previously disbursed by it that are otherwise your obligation to pay under the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator must issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
    7. No Class Actions. YOU AND SONICJOBS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and SonicJobs agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
    8. Modifications to this Arbitration Provision.If SonicJobs makes any future change to this arbitration provision, other than a change to SonicJobs’s address for Notice of Arbitration, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to SonicJobs’s address for Notice of Arbitration, in which case your account with SonicJobs will be immediately terminated and this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected will survive.
    9. Enforceability.If Section 28.g or the entirety of this Section 28 is found to be unenforceable, or if SonicJobs receives an Opt-Out Notice from you, then the entirety of this Section 28 will be null and void and, in that case, the exclusive jurisdiction and venue described in Section 23 will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms.
