DMCA POLICY
GreenPark is committed to complying with U.S. copyright law and expects all Users to do the same.

Under the DMCA, copyright owners may contact our designated agent listed below to report User Material that is believed to infringe their copyrights. Upon receipt of a proper notification that satisfies the requirements of the DMCA, we will remove or block access to the allegedly infringing User Material. If you believe in good faith that a notice of alleged copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against your User Material, you may submit a counter-notification in accordance with this DMCA Policy. GreenPark shall not be made a party to disputes over alleged copyright infringement.
Our Designated Agent: The following is our designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed copyright infringement concerning User Material on the GreenPark Services:

Counter-Notification to Claimed Copyright Infringement: Under the DMCA, if your User Material was removed by us in response to a third party’s notification of claimed copyright infringement, and if you believe in good faith that the removal was due to mistake or misidentification of the material sought to be removed, you may make a counter-notification with our designated agent listed above.

A counter-notification must be in writing and include the following information:
identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; a statement by you under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number and (if available) email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you are located (or in the State of California, U.S.A., if you reside outside of the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the notice of copyright infringement or an agent of such person; and your physical or electronic signature.

ARBITRATION AGREEMENT AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER
The United States Federal Arbitration Act (9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16) governs the interpretation and enforcement of this arbitration agreement. This arbitration agreement shall survive termination of these Terms of Use.
(1) Except as related to the enforcement of intellectual property rights, and except as expressly otherwise provided below, you and GreenPark agree to resolve on an individual basis through binding arbitration, all disputes, controversies, claims and causes of action arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or any of the GreenPark Services or any Content (including any Virtual Goods), whether based in contract, tort, warranty, statute, or any other legal or equitable basis (including, without limitation, any dispute relating to the formation, validity, interpretation, applicability or enforceability of these Terms of Use, the arbitrability of any dispute or claim, and any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable) (collectively, “Claims” and individually, a “Claim”).
(2) Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit. There is no judge or jury in arbitration, and court review of an arbitration award is limited. The arbitrator, however, can award on an individual basis the same damages and relief as a court (including injunctive and declaratory relief, or statutory damages). BY AGREEING TO ARBITRATE, YOU AND WE BOTH AGREE TO UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY OR COURT; except that either you or GreenPark may bring an individual action in a small claims court for a Claim that is within such court's jurisdictional authority.
(3) Any arbitration between you and us shall be conducted by the Judicial Arbitration and Mediation Services, Inc. (“JAMS”), pursuant to the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules & Procedures effective July 1, 2014 (the “JAMS Rules”), as modified by this arbitration agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted by a single, neutral arbitrator, and if you and we cannot agree on the choice of the single arbitrator, the arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the JAMS Rules, with the participation and involvement of you and us pursuant to JAMS Rule 12. The JAMS Rules are available on its website at http://www.jamsadr.com/rules-streamlined-arbitration/. The Consumer Arbitration Minimum Standards are available at https://www.jamsadr.com/consumer-minimum-standards/.
(4) In order to commence arbitration, you or we must first send via certified mail to the other a written Notice of Dispute (“Notice”) that sets forth the name, address, and contact information of the party giving notice, the Claim(s) and the specific facts giving rise to the Claim(s), and the relief requested. Your Notice to us must be sent via certified mail to GreenPark Sports, Inc., 8605 Santa Monica Blvd, PMB #68976 West Hollywood, CA 90069 , ATTN.: Dispute. We will send any Notice to you at the contact information we have for you. It is the sender’s responsibility to ensure that the recipient receives the Notice. During a period of 45 days following our or your receipt of a Notice, you and we will make reasonable efforts to resolve the Claim(s) through informal negotiations, and arbitration cannot commence during such 45-day period. If we do not resolve the Claim(s) within such 45-day period, then either you or we may initiate arbitration in accordance with the JAMS Rules.
(5) The arbitrator must follow these Terms of Use and will have the exclusive authority to resolve issues relating to the formation, validity, interpretation, applicability and enforceability of these Terms of Use (including, without limitation, the arbitrability of a dispute/claim, and any claim that all or any part of these Terms of Use are void or voidable).
(6) Any arbitration between you and us must be held either: (i) at a location determined pursuant to the JAMS Rules (provided that such location is reasonably convenient for you and does not require travel in excess of 100 miles from your home or place of business); or (ii) at such other location as may be mutually agreed upon by you and us; or (iii) if the only Claim(s) in the arbitration is/are asserted by you and is/are for less than $10,000 in aggregate, then (at your election) by telephone or by written submission.
(7) The arbitrator shall: (i) apply internal laws of the State of California consistent with the Federal Arbitration Act and applicable statutes of limitations, or, to the extent (if any) that federal law prevails, shall apply the laws of the United States, irrespective of any conflict of law principles; (ii) entertain any motion to dismiss, motion to strike, motion for judgment on the pleadings, motion for complete or partial summary judgment, motion for summary adjudication, or any other dispositive motion consistent with California or federal rules of procedure, as applicable; (iii) honor claims of privilege recognized at law; and (iv) have authority to award any form of legal or equitable relief consistent with applicable laws.
(8) The arbitrator shall issue a written award supported by a statement of decision setting forth the arbitrator’s determination of the dispute/claim and the factual findings and legal conclusions relevant to it (an “Award”). Judgment upon the Award may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof or having jurisdiction over the relevant party or its assets.
(9) Other than an arbitration initiated by you against GreenPark that was determined by the arbitrator to be frivolous or have been brought for an improper purpose, we will pay the arbitration filing and arbitrator fees, or reimburse you for the payment of such fees. If you prevail in the arbitration and the arbitrator issues you an award that is greater than the value of our last written settlement offer made before an arbitrator was selected (or if we did not make a settlement offer before an arbitrator was selected), then we will pay you the amount of the award or US$1,000, whichever is greater, and will also pay (or reimburse you for) your reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses incurred in the arbitration. We waive any right to seek an award of attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with any non-frivolous arbitration between you and us.
(10) You and GreenPark both agree to maintain the confidential nature of the arbitration and not to disclose the fact of the arbitration, any documents exchanged as part of any mediation or proceedings of the arbitration, the arbitrator’s decision, or the existence or amount of any Award, except as may be necessary to prepare for or conduct the arbitration (in which case anyone becoming privy to such confidential information must undertake to preserve its confidentiality), or except as may be necessary in connection with a court application for a provisional remedy, a judicial challenge to an Award or its enforcement, or unless otherwise required by applicable law or a valid court order.
(11) GreenPark may modify the provisions of this arbitration agreement, but such modification will only become effective thirty (30) days after we have notified you of such modification by email or by posting a notice of the changes on the GreenPark Services, and only on a prospective basis for disputes/claims arising after the effective date of such notification. If any modification to this arbitration agreement is deemed illegal, invalid or unenforceable, then this arbitration agreement without such modification and in effect at the time of your acceptance of these Terms of Use shall govern.
(12) CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND GREENPARK BOTH AGREE THAT: (i) ANY CLAIM WILL BE BROUGHT IN ANY FORUM IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY ONLY, AND WILL NOT BE BROUGHT ON BEHALF OF, OR AS PART OF, ANY PURPORTED CLASS, CONSOLIDATED, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING; (ii) NEITHER YOU NOR GREENPARK WILL SEEK TO HAVE A CLAIM HEARD AS A CLASS ACTION, PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION, OR IN ANY OTHER PROCEEDING IN WHICH EITHER PARTY ACTS OR PURPORTS TO ACT IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY; AND (iii) NO ARBITRATION OR OTHER PROCEEDING CAN BE COMBINED WITH ANOTHER WITHOUT THE EXPRESS PRIOR WRITTEN CONSENT OF ALL PARTIES TO THE ARBITRATION OR PROCEEDING. If the foregoing class action waiver is found to be illegal or unenforceable as to all or some parts of a Claim, those parts will be severed and proceed in a court of law, with the remaining parts proceeding in arbitration.

Except with respect to Claims to be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the arbitration agreement set forth in the preceding section, you and GreenPark both agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles, California, U.S.A. to resolve any Claim arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or any of the GreenPark Services or any Content (including any Virtual Goods) or any User Material.

MISCELLANEOUS
These Terms of Use, together with our NFT Terms and all other terms, rules, and policies referenced herein, constitute the entire agreement between you and GreenPark concerning the use of the GreenPark Services and Content (including Virtual Goods). If any provision of these Terms of Use is deemed invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, the invalidity of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of these Terms of Use, all of which shall remain in full force and effect. No waiver of any provision of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such provision or a waiver of any other provision, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. Any provision of these Terms of Use that by its nature survives the termination of these Terms of Use shall survive such termination.
