Governing Law, Jurisdiction, Venue and Related Issues

These Terms and, if applicable, the EULA, and all matters arising out of or relating to the foregoing, are to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice-of-law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of New York to the rights and duties of the parties. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR, IF APPLICABLE, THE EULA, OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND YAMA, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY, AND YOU AGREE THAT YAMA AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY. YOU AGREE THAT ANY SUCH ARBITRATION WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION. The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available online at https://www.adr.org/aaa/ShowProperty?nodeId=/UCM/ADRSTAGE2021425&revision=latestreleased. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and, if applicable, the EULA, and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms and, if applicable, the EULA, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.

Copyright Infringement

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 U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send to YAMA a written notice by mail or e-mail, requesting that YAMA remove such material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to YAMA a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices must be sent in writing to YAMA’s DMCA agent, Eugene DeVillamil, as follows: By mail to Eugene DeVillamil at YAMA Industrials, Inc., 387 Park Ave. South 5th Floor, New York, NY 10016 Attn: Eugene DeVillamil; or by e-mail to [e-mail].

Filtering

Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d) as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available on the websites

Neither these Terms nor, if applicable, the EULA, create or shall be construed to create any partnership, joint venture, employer-employee, agency or franchisor-franchisee relationship between you and YAMA. No waiver by either party of any breach or default under these Terms, or, if applicable, the EULA, will be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or subsequent breach or default. Without limitation, a printed version of these Terms or the EULA and of any notice given in electronic form shall be admissible in judicial or administrative proceedings based upon or relating to these Terms or the EULA to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and maintained in printed form. YAMA will not be responsible for any failure to fulfill any obligation due to any cause beyond its control, including without limitation due to acts of God, natural disasters, shortage of supplies (including but not limited to electronic or digital service suppliers), transportation difficulties, labor disputes, riots, war, fire and epidemics.
