- Claims of Infringement
Apollo Group TV respects Your copyrights and other intellectual property rights and those of other third parties. If You believe in good faith that Your copyrighted work has been reproduced on the Platform without Your authorization in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, You may notify our designated copyright agent by mail to:
Apollo Group TV, Inc.
Attn: Copyright Infringement Agent
Please provide the following information to Apollo Group TV’s Copyright Infringement Agent: (1) the identity of the infringed work, and of the allegedly infringing work; (2) Your name, address, daytime phone number, and email address, if available; (3) a statement that You have a good-faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the owner, his or her agent, or the law; (4) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that You are authorized to act on behalf of the owner; and (5) Your electronic or physical signature. Please be advised that Apollo Group TV will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. If Apollo Group TV determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, Apollo Group TV will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information: (a) your name, address, and telephone number; (b) the source of the content that was removed; (c) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed in error; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located; or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Apollo Group TV may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint; and (e) a physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name).
Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Services must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) (see http://copyright.gov/title17/92appb.html) and should be sent to the agent identified above. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
- Disputes
Except as otherwise provided below, the parties will attempt to resolve all disputes, controversies, or claims arising under, out of, or relating to this Agreement, including the formation, validity, binding effect, interpretation, performance, breach or termination, of this Agreement and the arbitrability of the issues submitted to arbitration hereunder and non-contractual claims relating to this Agreement (each, a “Dispute”), in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section. If any Dispute cannot be resolved through negotiations between the parties within 5 days of notice from one party to the other of the Dispute, such Dispute will be finally settled through binding arbitration under the arbitration rules of the JAMS (“JAMS”) then in effect (the “Rules”). Either party may commence the arbitration by delivering a request for arbitration as specified in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted before a sole neutral arbitrator selected by agreement of the parties. If the parties cannot agree on the appointment of a single arbitrator within 30 days (the “Initial Period”) after either party to this Agreement delivers a request for arbitration, a neutral arbitrator will be selected as provided in the Rules. The arbitration will be conducted exclusively in the English language at a site specified by Apollo Group TV in New York, NY, U.S.A. The award of the arbitrator will be the exclusive remedy of the parties for all claims, counterclaims, issues or accountings presented or plead to the arbitrator. The award of the arbitrators will require payment of the costs, fees and expenses incurred by the prevailing party in any such arbitration by the non-prevailing party. Judgment upon the award may be entered in any court or governmental body having jurisdiction thereof. Any additional costs, fees or expenses incurred in enforcing the award may be charged against the party that resists its enforcement.
- Governing Law and Venue
Subject to Section 21, The interpretation of the rights and obligations of the parties under this Agreement, including, to the extent applicable, any negotiations, arbitrations or other proceedings hereunder, will be governed in all respects exclusively by the laws of the State of New York U.S.A. as such laws apply to contracts between New York residents performed entirely within the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws provisions thereof. Subject to Section 21 (Disputes), each party will bring any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this Agreement exclusively in a federal or state court located in New York, NY U.S.A. and You irrevocably submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any such courts in any such action or proceeding brought in such courts by Apollo Group TV.

Apollo Group TV may provide You with any notices required or allowed under this Agreement by sending You an email to any email address You provide to Apollo Group TV in connection with Your Account, provided that in the case of any notice applicable both to You and other Users of the Platform, Apollo Group TV may instead provide such notice by posting on the Platform. Notices provided to Apollo Group TV will be deemed given when actually received by Apollo Group TV. Notice provided to You will be deemed given 24 hours after posting to the Platform or sending via email, unless (as to email) the sending party is notified that the email address is invalid.

Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement may be amended or modified only by a writing signed by both parties. All waivers by Apollo Group TV under this Agreement must be in writing or later acknowledged by Apollo Group TV in writing. Any waiver or failure by Apollo Group TV to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver by Apollo Group TV of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, that provision will be removed to the extent necessary to comply with applicable Law, replaced by a provision that most closely approximates the original intent and economic effect of the original to the extent consistent with the applicable Law, and the remaining provisions will remain in full force. The prevailing party in any lawsuit or proceeding arising from or related to this Agreement will be entitled to receive its costs, expert witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, including costs and fees on appeal. Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations of You hereunder may be assigned or transferred by You (in whole or in part and including by sale, merger, consolidation, or other operation of law) without the prior written approval of Apollo Group TV. Any assignment in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Apollo Group TV may assign this Agreement to any party that assumes Apollo Group TV’s obligations hereunder. The parties hereto are independent parties, not agents, employees or employers of the other or joint venturers, and neither acquires hereunder any right or ability to bind or enter into any obligation on behalf of the other. Any reference herein to “including” will mean “including, without limitation.” Upon request from Apollo Group TV, You agree to provide Apollo Group TV with such documentation or records with respect to Your activities under this Agreement as may be reasonably requested for Apollo Group TV to verify Your compliance with the terms of this Agreement and all applicable Laws.
