  1. DMCA COPYRIGHT POLICY AND COPYRIGHT AGENT

Fidelius respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects you to do the same.  We reserve the right to: (a) terminate your User Account or any other user who infringes third-party copyrights, (b) block access to and/or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally distributed by you and/or other third parties, and/or (c) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.  We will respond to clear notices of copyright infringement when you provide the following:  

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

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;

(iii) 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;

(iv) Information sufficient to permit Fidelius to contact you, such as your physical address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;

(v) 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; and

(vi) 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 of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Contact information for Fidelius’ DMCA Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement is:  Fidelius LLC.  Attn:  Copyright Agent, 801 S Cherry St Apt 431, Denver, CO 80246.   

The Copyright Agent will not remove content from the Services in response to phone or email notifications regarding allegedly infringing content, since a valid DMCA notice must be signed, under penalty of perjury, by the copyright owner or by a person authorized to act on his or her behalf. Please submit such notifications by fax or ordinary mail only and as further described by this Section. The Copyright Agent should be contacted only if you believe that your work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and that such infringement is occurring on the Services linked to and/or from the Services. All other inquiries directed to the Copyright Agent will not be responded to.

  1. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Disputes.We want to address your concerns without needing a formal legal case.  Before filing a claim against Fidelius, you agree to try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us at [legal@fideliusvaults.com] within fifteen (15) days of the incident that is being reported.  We will try to resolve the dispute by contacting you via email, but if we cannot resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days of submission, you and/or Fidelius agree to resolve any claims related to this Terms of Use through final and binding arbitration, except as set forth under ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or your ability to opt out as described below. 

Opt-Out.  You can opt-out and decline this agreement to arbitrate by contacting Fidelius within thirty (30) days from the date that you first became subject to this arbitration provision (i.e.: the date you initially accepted this Terms of Use).  You must write us at Fidelius LLC, Attn: Opt-Out Arbitration, 801 S Cherry St Apt 431, Denver, CO 80246.  If you opt out, neither you nor Fidelius can require the other to participate in an arbitration proceeding.

Arbitration Procedures.  Except as regarding any action seeking equitable relief, including without limitation for the purpose of protecting any Fidelius intellectual property rights, or except in the event the claim meets the requirements set forth in the ‘Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate’ section below and/or if you opt-out of arbitration as described above, any and all controversies and/or claims arising out of or relating to this Terms of Use and/or the Services shall be settled by binding arbitration in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules, in effect at the time the proceedings begin, of the American Arbitration Association. Any such controversy and/or claim shall be arbitrated on an individual basis, and shall not be consolidated in any arbitration with any claim or controversy of any other party. The arbitration shall be held in Denver, Colorado, or any other location we agree to. All information relating to and/or disclosed by any party in connection with the arbitration of any disputes hereunder shall be treated by the parties, their representatives, and the arbitrator as proprietary business information. Such information shall not be disclosed by any party or their respective representatives without the prior written authorization of the party furnishing such information. Such information shall not be disclosed by the arbitrator without the prior written authorization of all parties. Each party shall bear the burden of its own counsel fees incurred in connection with any arbitration proceedings. Judgment upon the award returned by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction over the parties or their assets or application of enforcement, as the case may be. Any award by the arbitrator shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the parties. The parties hereby waive all rights to judicial review of the arbitrator’s decision and any award contained therein. 


Exceptions to Agreement to Arbitrate.   Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, either you and/or Fidelius may assert claims, if it qualifies, in small claims court in Denver, Colorado, and Fidelius may bring a lawsuit solely for injunctive relief to stop unauthorized use and/or abuse of the Services, and/or intellectual property infringement (for example, trademark, trade secret, copyright and/or patent rights) without first engaging in arbitration and/or the information dispute-resolution process described herein.

Judicial forum for disputes. In the event that the agreement to arbitrate is found not to apply to you and/or your claim, you and Fidelius agree that any judicial proceeding (other than small claims actions) will be brought in the federal or state courts of Denver, Colorado.  Both you and Fidelius consent to the foregoing venue and jurisdiction.
