3.4 DMCA Notice and Takedown Procedure
BookingKoala underpins the insurance of protected innovation and requests that BookingKoala users do likewise. It’s our approach to react to all notifications of charged copyright infringement. On the off chance that somebody trusts that one of our vendors is encroaching their protected innovation rights, they can send a DMCA Notice to BookingKoala’s assigned specialist utilizing our frame. After getting a DMCA Notice, we may evacuate or cripple access to the Materials guaranteed to be a copyright encroachment. Once furnished with a notice of takedown, the dealer can answer with a counter-notice utilizing our shape in the event that they protest the grievance. The first complainant has 7 business days after we get a counter-notice to look for a court arrangement limiting the vendor from taking part in the encroaching movement, or else we reestablish the material.

You may cancel your Account and terminate the Terms of Use at any time by contacting BookingKoala Support and then following the specific instructions indicated to you in BookingKoala’s response.
Without limiting any other remedies, we may suspend or terminate your Account or the Terms of Use for any reason, without liability and notice and at any time (unless otherwise required by law), including if we suspect that you (by conviction, settlement, insurance or escrow investigation, or otherwise) have engaged in fraudulent activity in connection with the use of the Services. Termination of the Terms of Use will be without prejudice to any rights or obligations which arose prior to the date of termination.
If we terminate or suspend your account for any reason, you are prohibited from registering and creating a new account under your name, a fake or borrowed name, or the name of any third party, even if you may be acting on behalf of the third party. In addition to terminating or suspending your account, we reserve the right to take appropriate legal action, including without limitation pursuing civil, criminal, and injunctive redress.

24. GOVERNING LAW
These Terms of Use and your use of the Site are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to agreements made and to be entirely performed within the State of Illinois, without regard to its conflict of law principles.
25. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
25.1 Informal Negotiations
To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy, or claim related to these Terms of Use (each “Dispute” and collectively, the “Disputes”) brought by either you or us (individually, a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), the Parties agree to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided below) informally for at least sixty (60) days before initiating arbitration. Such informal negotiations commence upon written notice from one Party to the other Party.
25.2 Binding Arbitration
If the Parties are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal negotiations, the Dispute (except those Disputes expressly excluded below) will be finally and exclusively resolved by binding arbitration.
YOU UNDERSTAND THAT WITHOUT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA“) and, where appropriate, the AAA’s Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes (“AAA Consumer Rules“), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by the AAA Consumer Rules. The arbitration may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone, or online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by either Party. The arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Illinois. Except as otherwise provided herein, the Parties may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator. If for any reason, a Dispute proceeds in court rather than arbitration, the Dispute shall be commenced or prosecuted in the state and federal courts located in Illinois, and the Parties hereby consent to, and waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction, and forum non convenient with respect to venue and jurisdiction in such state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods and the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act (UCITA) are excluded from these Terms of Use. In no event shall any Dispute brought by either Party related in any way to the Site be commenced more than one (1) years after the cause of action arose. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
25.3 Restrictions
The Parties agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the Dispute between the Parties individually. To the full extent permitted by law,
- (a) no arbitration shall be joined with any other proceeding;
- (b) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to utilize class action procedures; and
- (c) there is no right or authority for any Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the general public or any other persons.
25.4 Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and Arbitration
The Parties agree that the following Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal negotiations and binding arbitration:
- (a) any Disputes seeking to enforce or protect, or concerning the validity of, any of the intellectual property rights of a Party;
- (b) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, invasion of privacy, or unauthorized use; and
- (c) any claim for injunctive relief. If this provision is found to be illegal or unenforceable, then neither Party will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that portion of this provision found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed for jurisdiction above, and the Parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of that court.
26. CORRECTIONS AND MARKETING
There may be information on the Site that contains typographical errors, inaccuracies, or omissions, including descriptions, pricing, availability, and various other information. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies, or omissions and to change or update the information on the Site at any time, without prior notice.

26.2 Earnings & Results Disclaimer: The individuals featured in videos, case studies or photos, claims are real BookingKoala users. Their results are not typical and should not be considered guarantees, promises, or projections of what you will earn or achieve.

Regarding ‘The $10K System’ Most buyers of the $10K Service Business System will not achieve these results. Building a successful service business requires significant time, effort, sound business decisions, and consistent execution over months or years. Many people who purchase educational programs do not implement them or do not implement them long enough to see results.
Your individual results will depend on factors including but not limited to: your market, your effort, your business structure, your ability to follow the framework, your prior experience, available capital, local competition, and circumstances outside of your or our control. We make no guarantee that you will earn any specific amount of money — or any money at all.

This includes the right to use Submitted Content in any current or future medium for any lawful purpose, including without limitation: advertising, marketing, promotional materials, social media content, paid advertising campaigns, sales pages, video content, presentations, press releases, training materials, internal use, fundraising materials, and any other commercial or non-commercial purpose.
