materials found on the Site can be identified and removed via our DMCA process
listed below. You agree to comply with this DMCA process in the event you are
involved in any claim of copyright infringement to which the DMCA may be
applicable.
If you believe in good faith that your work has been copied in a way
that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our DMCA agent with the
written information specified below. Please note that this procedure is
exclusively for notifying the Company that your copyrighted material has been
infringed. We do not and will not make any legal decisions about the validity
of your claim for infringement or the possible defenses to a claim.
If we receive a clear and valid notice pursuant to the guidelines set
forth below, we will respond by either taking down the allegedly infringing
content or blocking access to it. We may contact the notice provider to request
additional information.
Under the DMCA, the Company is required to take reasonable steps to
notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content ("Alleged
Infringer").
The Alleged Infringer is allowed under the law to send Company a
counter-notification. Notices and counter-notices are legal notices distinct
from regular Site activities or communications. We may publish or share them
with third parties in our sole discretion (in addition to producing them
pursuant to a subpoena or other legal discovery request).
Anyone making false or fraudulent notice or counter-notice may be liable
for damages under the DMCA, including costs and attorneys' fees. Any person who
is unsure of whether certain material infringes a copyright held by such person
or a third party should contact an attorney.
To file a DMCA notice, the copyright owner must send a written letter by
fax, regular mail, or email only. We reserve the right to ignore a notice that
is not in compliance with the DMCA, and we may, but are not obligated to,
respond to a non-compliant notice.
DMCA notice must:
- Identify specifically the copyrighted work(s)
believed to have been infringed (for example, "My copyrighted work is the
picture that appears at [list location where material is located].");
- Identify the content that a copyright owner
claims is infringing upon copyrighted work. The copyright owner must
provide information reasonably sufficient to enable us to locate the item
on the Site. The copyright owner should provide clear screenshots of the
allegedly infringing materials for identification purposes only. The
information provided should be as detailed as possible;
- Provide information sufficient to permit us to
contact the copyright owner directly: name, street address, telephone
number, and email (if available);
- If available, provide information sufficient to
permit us to notify the Alleged Infringer (email address preferred);
- Include the following statement: "I 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;"
- Include the following statement: "I swear, under
penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate
and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the
owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed";
- Be signed; and
- Be sent to our DMCA designated agent at the
following address:DMCA Designated Agent: privacy@homeservicesprivacy.com

MAY PROCEED IN ANY DISPUTE ONLY IN THAT PARTY'S INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS
A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS ACTION OR MASS ARBITRATION.
BY
ENTERING INTO THIS ARBITRATION AGREEMENT, INDEPENDENT OF THE REMAINING
PROVISIONS OF THESE TERMS, AND BY AGREEING TO A WAIVER OF CLASS ACTIONS OR MASS
ARBITRATIONS, EACH OF US IS GIVING UP CERTAIN RIGHTS, INCLUDING:
·
THE RIGHT TO

PURSUE CLASS ACTIONS, CLASS ARBITRATION OR MASS ARBITRATION, COLLECTIVE, OR
REPRESENTATIVE CLAIMS.
10.2
Good Faith
Negotiations. We always prefer to
resolve Disputes by negotiating in good faith. Either party may attempt to
resolve a Dispute through good faith negotiations. In the event of a Dispute,
each party shall first send written notice of the Dispute to the other party,
which includes the party contact's name, address, email address, phone number
and a description of the relief being sought ("Dispute Notice").
Notice by Company will be sent to you at your last known street and mail addresses on file, and notice by you to Company will be sent by email to Company privacy@homeservicesprivacy.com Within 30 days after delivery of the Dispute
Notice (unless mutually agreed by the parties), the parties shall meet
virtually at a mutually acceptable date and time. Both of us agree to negotiate
personally, individually, and in good faith to try to resolve the Dispute. At
no point during this time shall either party initiate litigation or
arbitration, except for Disputes subject to injunctive or other equitable
relief. If the Parties cannot resolve the Dispute within 60 days of the Dispute
Notice, either party may pursue individual arbitration proceedings as described
below. Any limitations period will be tolled from the date the Dispute is
noticed to the other side until the expiration of this sixty (60) day period.
Compliance with and completion of this Good Faith Negotiations provision is a
condition precedent and requirement for initiating any arbitration proceedings.
10.3
Mutual
Arbitration Agreement.
a. Arbitration of Individual Disputes. Any Dispute which cannot be resolved through good
faith negotiations, must be pursued through binding arbitration on an
individual basis as described in this Section 10 (the "Arbitration Agreement").
The arbitration shall be administered before a single arbitrator.
b. Scope of Arbitrator's Decision Making. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall decide all
Disputes and all related issues excluding: (a) issues expressly reserved for a
court decision in these Terms; (b) issues that relate to the scope, validity,
and enforceability of the Arbitration Agreement, class action waiver, jury
waiver or any of the dispute resolution provisions of this Agreement; (c)
issues that relate to the arbitrability of any Dispute; (d) whether a Dispute
is barred by the statute of limitations or a contractual provision in these
Terms; (e) issues related to the scope, application and enforceability of the
waiver provisions are for the court to decide or (f) whether filing of a demand
for arbitration was authorized by a party. All other issues are for the
arbitrator to decide.
c. Final and Binding Decision. The decision of the arbitrator will be final and
binding and will not have precedential effect. The arbitrator shall not have
the authority to award damages outside of those set forth in these Terms. Any
final award or judgment may be filed and enforced in any court of competent
jurisdiction. The parties will bear the costs of the arbitration in accordance
with the Consumer Arbitration Rules. Any arbitration proceeding may not be
consolidated or joined with any other proceeding and will not proceed as a class
action, class arbitration or mass arbitration.
d. Applicability of the FAA. The parties acknowledge that this Arbitration
Agreement evidences a transaction involving interstate commerce, and the
Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. Sections 1-16, shall govern the
interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to this Arbitration
Agreement. The parties expressly agree that any and all actions taken under the
Arbitration Agreement and related provisions, including but not limited to all
filings, orders, judgments, and awards made in any arbitration proceeding, are
confidential and may not be disclosed to any third party.
e. Survival. This
Arbitration Agreement provision will survive the termination of these Terms.
10.4
AAA Proceedings.
All
arbitrations shall be filed with and administered by the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA") in accordance with its Consumer Arbitration Rules
and the Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules (collectively, the "AAA Rules").
For more information, please see the American Arbitration Association website
at www.adr.org.
10.5
Mass Arbitrations. If 25 or more arbitration demands asserting the same
or substantially similar claims, and seeking the same or substantially similar
relief are submitted to AAA with the assistance or coordination of the same law
firm(s) or legal entities against either party (a "Mass Filing"), the
parties agree (i) to administer the Mass Filing in batches of 10 demands per
batch with only one batch filed, processed, and adjudicated at a time; (ii) to
designate one arbitrator for each batch; (iii) to accept applicable fees,
including any related fee reduction determined by AAA Rules in its discretion;
(iv) that no other demands for arbitration that are part of the Mass Filing may
be filed, processed, or adjudicated until the prior batch of 10 is adjudicated;
(v) that fees associated with a demand for arbitration included in a Mass
Filing, including fees owed by us, you and other claimants, shall only be due
after your demand for arbitration is included in a set of batch proceedings and
that batch is properly designated for filing, processing, and adjudication;
(vi) that the staged process of batched proceedings, with each set including 10
demands, shall continue until each demand (including your demand) is
adjudicated or otherwise resolved; and (vii) to make good faith efforts to
resolve each batch of demands within 180-days, failing which any party may
cease arbitration and file in a court of competent jurisdiction.
10.6
Appointment of Arbitrator for Batch Proceedings; Procedural Arbitrators.
Arbitrators will be selected in accordance with the applicable AAA Rules. The
arbitrator will determine the location for each batch proceeding. The parties
agree to cooperate in good faith with each other and with AAA to implement a
"batch approach" to provide for an efficient resolution of claims, including
the payment of combined reduced fees, set by AAA in its discretion, for each
batch of demands.
The parties shall
cooperate with each other and with AAA to establish any other processes or
procedures that will provide for an efficient resolution of any claims. If the
parties cannot agree on a batching process, the parties agree that AAA shall
appoint a procedural arbitrator. This "Batch Arbitration" provision shall not
increase the number of demands necessary to trigger the applicability of AAA's
Mass Arbitration Supplementary Rules or authorizing class arbitration of any
kind.
Company does not
agree or consent to class arbitration, mass arbitration, private attorney
general arbitration, or arbitration involving joint or consolidated claims
under any circumstances. The parties agree that this batching provision is
critical to this Section 10. If the batching provision in this Section 10 is
found to be invalid, unenforceable or illegal, then Section 10 shall be null
and void, and neither party shall be entitled to arbitrate any claim that is a
part of the Mass Filing.
10.7 Mediation Following First Batch in a Mass Filing.
The
results of the first batch of demands will be given to an AAA mediator selected
from a group of 5 mediators initially proposed by AAA. We and the counsel for
the remaining claimants each have the right to strike one mediator and then
rank the remaining mediators, with the highest collectively ranked mediator
selected.
The selected
mediator is responsible for attempting to resolve the Dispute in the Mass
Filing. The Parties will then have 90 days (the "Mediation Period") to
agree on a resolution or substantive methodology for resolving the outstanding
demands. If the parties are unable to resolve the outstanding demands during
the Mediation Period and cannot agree on a methodology for resolving them
through further arbitrations, either we or any remaining claimant may opt out
of the arbitration process and have the demand(s) proceed in a court of
competent jurisdiction. Notice of the opt-out will be provided in writing
within 60 days of the close of the Mediation Period. If neither party opts out
and they cannot agree to a method for resolving the remaining demands through
further arbitration, the arbitrations will continue with the batching process.
Absent notice of an opt-out, the arbitrations will proceed in the order
determined by the sequential numbers assigned to demands in the Mass Filing.
10.8 Opt-Out. If you wish to opt
out of this Arbitration Agreement, you must, within forty-five (45) days of
first using the Site or the Content, send an email stating "Request to Opt-Out
of Arbitration Agreement" to: privacy@homeservicesprivacy.com. If you opt
out of this Arbitration Agreement, all other parts of this Agreement will still

10.1. Opting out of this Arbitration Agreement has no effect on any other
current or future Arbitration Agreements you may have with us.
10.9 Modification. If we modify this
Arbitration Agreement, you may reject that change by sending us written notice
within thirty (30) days of our posting of the change, in which case we will
terminate your account and you must stop using the Site, your account, and the
Content.
10.10 Applicable Law. Pennsylvania State law applies to any arbitration under this Agreement, but the FAA governs the interpretation and enforcement of the Arbitration Agreement.
10.11
Enforceability. IF ANY OF THE TERMS OF THIS ARBITRATION
AGREEMENT, INCLUDING THIS CLASS ACTION WAIVER, IS DEEMED INVALID OR
UNENFORCEABLE, NEITHER PARTY MAY USE ARBITRATION TO RESOLVE DISPUTES UNDER
THESE TERMS AND ALL DISPUTES WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH LITIGATION.
11. VENUE FOR LITIGATION
If the Arbitration
Agreement is found to be unenforceable or does not apply to a given Dispute, or
if you opt out of the Arbitration Agreement as provided in Section 10, then,
unless prohibited by applicable law, the proceedings must be brought
exclusively in the State of Delaware. You agree to submit to the personal
