or resell your use of or access to the Site to any third party.

by emailing Vindigo at support@vindigo.com,
and you must request that your password be changed. YOU ARE ENTIRELY
RESPONSIBLE FOR MAINTAINING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OF YOUR USERNAME

THAT ARE CONDUCTED THROUGH YOUR ACCOUNT.

CLAIMS OF 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 hosted by Vindigo
infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Vindigo
a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to
it blocked. The notice must include the following information:
(a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized
to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed
to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located
on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative
list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is
claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity,
and information reasonably sufficient to allow Vindigo to locate
the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number,
and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e)
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 (f) a statement
that the information in the notification is accurate, and under
penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to
act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly
infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits
you to send Vindigo a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices
must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the
DMCA; see www.loc.gov/copyright/
for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site
should be sent to Vindigo, Inc., ATTN: Legal Department,
500 7th Ave. - Floor 17A, New York, NY 10001.
Vindigo 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.
MISCELLANEOUS
This Agreement constitutes the complete and exclusive agreement
between Vindigo and you with respect to your use of the Site,
and supersedes all prior oral or written understandings, communications,
or agreements not specifically incorporated herein. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, to the extent that you use the Service, you also
agree to be bound by the License Agreement
and any applicable Third Party Subscription Terms, and that
the License Agreement and such Third Party Subscription Terms
govern your use of the Service and the software and other related
materials, as described therein. This Agreement and the relationship
between you and Vindigo shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard
to conflict of law provisions. You agree to personal jurisdiction
by the federal and state courts located in the County of New York,
located in New York City, New York, United States of America,
and hereby irrevocably waive any jurisdictional, venue, or inconvenient
forum objections to such courts.
The failure of Vindigo 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 found to be
unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision
shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect
the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. This
Agreement is not assignable, transferable or sublicensable by
you except with Vindigo's prior written consent. Any assignment
in derogation of the foregoing shall be null and void.
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 Site or to this Agreement must be commenced within one
(1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or be forever
barred.
The section titles in this Agreement are for convenience only
and have no legal or contractual effect or significance.
LANGUAGE
It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement
and all related documents have been drawn up in English. C'est
la volenté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi
que les documents qui s'y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.
