SECTION 20 - Notice And Procedure For Copyright Infringement Claim: The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "Act") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. Accordingly, WonderTree reserves the right, but not the obligation, to terminate your right to use the Website if WonderTree determines in its sole and absolute discretion that you are involved in any activity that may be infringing, including alleged acts of infringement, regardless of whether the material or activity is ultimately determined to be infringing. WonderTree accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their materials. In addition, pursuant to the Act, WonderTree has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed infringements and for processing such claims in accordance with the Act. If you believe that your work has been copied and posted on the Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our designated copyright agent with the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the 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 infringed or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit WonderTree to locate the material; (d) information reasonably sufficient to permit WonderTree to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted; (e) a statement that you have 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 (f) 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.
- Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on such copyright owner’s behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the Act shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. WonderTree’s designated copyright agent to receive notification of claimed infringement can be reached by writing to WonderTree Ventures LLC at info@wondertreeskin.com.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, WonderTree will not be liable for: (a) the contents of any communication, message, or information posted by you or other third parties; (b) the content of any website not controlled, owned, or operated by WonderTree that is accessed from or linked to the Website; (c) the content, services or information provided by any website purporting to be operated by WonderTree or its affiliates, but not actually affiliated with, controlled, owned, or operated by WonderTree; and (d) any damages or injury caused by, including but not limited to, any failure of performance, error, omission, interruption, defect, delay in operation of transmission, computer virus, or line failure.

SECTION 25 - Exclusions and Limitations: Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages.

In addition, certain Additional Terms will govern any purchases you make through the online stores located on our Website.

These Additional Terms are part of this Agreement, and you agree to comply with them when you participate in those promotions, purchase items from our online stores, or otherwise engage in activities governed by such Additional Terms.

You agree that we will not be liable to you or to any third party for any such modification, editing, deletion, suspension or discontinuance of the Service or our Website.
SECTION 29 - Entire Agreement: This Agreement, together with any other terms or policies referenced herein (including without limitation the Privacy Policy), constitutes the entire agreement between you and WonderTree and governs your use of the Website and Service, superseding any prior agreements between you and WonderTree with respect to the Website and Service. Your relationship to Company is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. These Terms, and your rights and obligations herein, may not be assigned, subcontracted, delegated, or otherwise transferred by you without Company’s prior written consent, and any attempted assignment, subcontract, delegation, or transfer in violation of the foregoing will be null and void. Company may freely assign these Terms. The terms and conditions set forth in these Terms shall be binding upon assignees.
SECTION 30 - Waiver and Severability of Terms: The failure of WonderTree to exercise or enforce any right or provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. If any provision of this Agreement is, for any reason, held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of this Agreement will be unimpaired and the invalid or unenforceable provision will be deemed modified so that it is valid and enforceable to the maximum extent permitted by law.
SECTION 31 - Dispute Resolution and Agreement to Arbitrate: Arbitration is a form of alternative dispute resolution and is often considered a faster, more convenient, and less expensive way to resolve disputes. We will make every reasonable effort to informally resolve any complaints, disputes, or disagreements that you may have with us. However, if those efforts fail, then both you and WonderTree agree that any and all complaints, disputes, disagreements, controversies or claims arising from or relating to a transaction, a failed transaction, any communications between you and WonderTree (including your receipt of text messages or electronic mail from us), or otherwise related to any services rendered, or to the breach, enforcement, interpretation, or validity of the Agreement or any part of it (“Dispute”), will be resolved exclusively by final and binding arbitration ("Arbitration") administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and conducted in accordance with the AAA Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”) in effect at the time the Arbitration is initiated. In the event AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the Dispute, then the parties shall mutually agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA Rules.
You and WonderTree mutually agree to bring any dispute in Arbitration on an individual basis only, and not on a class, consolidated, representative or collective action basis. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and WonderTree both hereby waive any right to a jury trial, to participate in a class action lawsuit or arbitration, or joint or consolidated lawsuit or arbitration against the other Party. If the court decides that applicable law precludes enforcement of this paragraph’s limitations to a particular cause of action, then that cause of action (and only that cause of action) must remain in court and be severed from arbitration. No demand for Arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitations.
The Arbitration tribunal will consist of one arbitrator. Arbitration will be held in a location mutually agreed to by the parties (including by written submissions, telephone, or video conference), but if the parties cannot mutually agree to the final location, then AAA will determine the location. As previously stated, neither WonderTree or you will have the right to bring or participate in any class action or similar proceeding in court or in Arbitration.
The Arbitrator shall apply internal laws of the State of Maryland consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the law of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles. The Arbitrator shall not have the power to consolidate or join the claims of other persons or parties who may be similarly situated and shall not have the power to award punitive damages. If any part of this Arbitration provision is deemed invalid, unenforceable or illegal, or otherwise conflicts with the rules of AAA, then the balance of this Notice of Arbitration provision shall remain in effect. Nevertheless, nothing herein shall prevent any party from seeking provisional remedies in aid of Arbitration from a court of appropriate jurisdiction.
To begin an Arbitration proceeding, you may send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:
WonderTree Ventures LLC
PO Box 208
Cabin John, MD 20818
This Arbitration provision limits certain rights, including the right to maintain a court action, the right to a jury trial, the right to participate in any form of class or representative claim, the right to engage in discovery except as provided in AAA rules, and the right to certain remedies and forms of relief. Other rights that you or WonderTree would have in court also may not be available in arbitration.
SECTION 32 - Statute of Limitations: You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to use of the Website, the Service or this Agreement must be filed within the applicable statute of limitations for that claim or controversy, or it will be forever time barred.
SECTION 33 - Headings: The section headings and sub-headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience only and have no legal or contractual effect.
SECTION 34 - Questions: If you have any questions regarding this Agreement, please contact us by email, at info@wondertreeskin.com.
