NEITHER Newstate NOR ITS LICENSORS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, CONTRACTORS, AGENTS OR SPONSORS ARE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE TO YOU OR ANYONE ELSE FOR ANY LOSS OR INJURY OR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR OTHER DAMAGES UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING IN ANY WAY TO (i) THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES; (ii) ANY CONTENT CONTAINED ON THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES; (iii) STATEMENTS OR CONDUCT POSTED OR MADE PUBLICLY AVAILABLE ON THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES; (iv) ANY PRODUCT OR SERVICE PURCHASED OR OBTAINED THROUGH THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES; (v) ANY ACTION TAKEN IN RESPONSE TO OR AS A RESULT OF ANY INFORMATION AVAILABLE ON THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES; (vi) ANY DAMAGE CAUSED BY LOSS OF ACCESS TO, DELETION OF, FAILURE TO STORE, FAILURE TO BACK UP, OR ALTERATION OF ANY CONTENT ON THE SITE AND/OR SERVICES; OR (vii) ANY OTHER MATTER RELATING TO THE SITE AND/OR THE SERVICES.

Accordingly, some of the above limitations and disclaimers may not apply to you. To the extent that Newstate may not, as a matter of applicable law, disclaim any implied warranty or limit liabilities, the scope and duration of such warranty and the extent of Newstate’s liability will be the minimum permitted under such applicable law.

17. Indemnification.

You agree to indemnify, defend and hold Newstate and its respective licensors, subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents, co-branders or other partners, employees and representatives harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, costs or expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) which arise directly or indirectly out of or from (i) your breach of these TOU; (ii) any allegation that any Submission Materials infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trade secret, trademark or other intellectual property rights of a third party; and (iii) your access or use of the Site or any of the Services.

18. Copyright Policy.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Newstate infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send to Newstate a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Newstate actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to Newstate a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide Newstate’s Copyright Agent the following information:

• An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest;

• Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;

• Identification of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site or Service reasonably sufficient to permit Newstate to locate the material;

• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Newstate to contact you, such as your address, telephone number and, if available, your email address;

• A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

• A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Newstate’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached as follows: E-mail for notice: [email protected]. Newstate suggests 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.

19. Jurisdictional Issues.

Newstate makes no representation or warranty that the content and materials on the Site or the Services are appropriate or available for use in locations outside the United States. Those who choose to access the Site or use the Services from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent applicable. Newstate reserves the right, at any time in its sole discretion, to limit the availability and accessibility of the Site or the Services to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction Newstate so desires, and to limit the quantities of any such service or products that Newstate may provide.

20. Termination.

You agree that Newstate, in its sole discretion, may terminate your password, account (in whole or in part) or use of the Site or Services, and remove and discard any content within the Site or Services, at any time and for any reason. You agree that any actions taken under this Section may be effective without prior notice to you.

21. Governing Law.

These TOU and the relationship between you and Newstate shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. You and Newstate irrevocably agree to submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located within the county of Okaloosa, in the State of Florida, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.

22. Waiver and Severability.

The failure of Newstate to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these TOU shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of these TOU is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severed herefrom and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

23. Successors and Assigns.

Newstate may perform any of its obligations or exercise any of its rights under this TOU through one or more of its corporate affiliates (including any entity that directly or indirectly controls, is controlled by or is under common control with Newstate). If Newstate or its assets are acquired by another entity, that entity will assume Newstate’s rights and obligations as described in this TOU. You may not assign your rights or obligations under this TOU, by operation of law or otherwise, without Newstate’s prior written consent.

24. Updates.

Newstate may modify these TOU at any time, as it deems appropriate. If you disagree with the changes to the TOU, you must discontinue your use of the Site and Services, and if you have registered as a member, cancel your registration. Your continued access or use of any of the Site or Services following such notice signifies your acceptance of the modified TOU. It is your responsibility to review the TOU regularly to be aware of such modifications. Newstate reserves the right to modify or discontinue the Site or Services with or without notice. Newstate will not be liable to you or any third party should Newstate exercise its right to modify or discontinue the Site or Services. If you object to any such changes, your sole recourse will be to cease access to the Site or Services. Continued access to the Site or Services following notice of any such changes will indicate your acknowledgement of such changes and acceptance of the Site or Services as so modified and your use of new Services will be governed by these TOU.
