Ownership: As between you and Clear Consults, you own all of the content and information you provide to us. You agree to provide content and information only when you have a legal right to do so. We allow you to provide and share content and information in a variety of ways that may be visible to other authorized Users.

License: Consistent with our Privacy Policy, you agree to grant Clear Consults a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to access, store, use, copy, modify, delete, distribute, publish, and process your content and information, including any voluntary feedback you’re willing to provide us about our Services, without any further consent, notice, and/or compensation to you or others. This license will terminate when you close your account or when you choose to delete specific content or information, except to the extent you have shared content with others through our Services and they have not deleted it, or if we are required to maintain your content by law. You also understand that we delete your content and information in a manner similar to emptying your trash bin on your computer. While deleted content and information will not be accessible to others, it may persist on our servers and backup copies for a reasonable period time.

Similarly, you are responsible for deciding if you want to access or use third party apps or sites that link to and from our Services. Third party apps and sites have their own legal terms and privacy policies. Except to the limited extent it may be required by applicable law, we cannot be responsible for these other sites and apps.

Preferences: You can control what kind of communications you receive in your notification settings. We typically send these communications via email, although we may periodically send them through other means if there is a legitimate reason to do so. You may opt-out of promotional emails at any time. You agree to keep your contact information updated and understand that, if you don’t, you may not receive important communications from us.

Mobile: You are responsible for any mobile charges that you may incur for using our Services, including text-messaging and data charges that may arise from both web and mobile applications we provide now or in the future. If you're unsure what those charges may be, you should ask your service provider before using our Services. In the event you change or deactivate your mobile phone number, you agree to immediately update your account information on Clear Consults to ensure that your messages are not sent to a person who acquires your old number.

3.5 Conditions

Guidance Only: Clear Consults and/or its consultants will not direct Members to pursue any specific course of action or decision and will only serve to educate you on your options and what our consultants have seen work for others in similar professional or educational settings. No guarantees of successful career growth are promised to you.

5.0 Copyright

Clear Consults respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our Users to do the same. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we are required to expeditiously remove or disable access to material that infringes copyright upon becoming aware of the copyright infringement. If you are a copyright owner or an agent of a copyright owner, you may submit a copyright infringement notification in accordance with the procedures below.

5.1 Copyright Agent

5.2 Warning

Before submitting a copyright infringement notification, please understand that when you do so, you are initiating a legal process and you should consider whether fair use, fair dealing, or a similar exception to copyright applies. We strongly encourage you to consult with an attorney before submitting a notification since misrepresentations of copyright infringement may result in monetary damages, including costs and attorney’s fees caused by the misrepresentation. If you make false claims of copyright infringement, we may suspend or delete your account, or take other legal action against you.

5.3 Infringement Notification

We will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to our Copyright Agent with the subject line,

“DMCA Takedown Request”. You may also contact our Copyright Agent by mail or facsimile. To be effective under the DCMA, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material;

- information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail;

- a statement that you 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; and

- a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

5.4 Counter Notice

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner or their agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:

- your physical or electronic signature;

- identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the

location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

- a statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and

- your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in State of Wisconsin, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Failure to comply with these requirements may invalidate your counter-notice. If a valid counter-notice is received by our Copyright Agent, Clear Consults will send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Curadux may reinstate the removed content in 10 business days.

Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or the User, the removed content may be reinstated within 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

5.5 Repeat Infringers

We reserve the right to remove Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. In appropriate circumstances, we may also terminate a User’s account if the User is determined to be a repeat infringer.

6.0 Disputes

We hope we never have a dispute with you and will make good faith efforts to resolve any dispute that may arise between us through informal means. In the event we are unable to resolve the dispute through informal means, to save you and us valuable time and money, you agree that any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or our Services, or the breach thereof, shall be settled through final and binding arbitration in the State of Wisconsin, administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Arbitration Rules. The parties agree that there shall be a single arbitrator who is a U.S. citizen, has experience with and knowledge of the consulting sector and software-as-a-service businesses. Judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. No demand for arbitration may be made after the date when the institution of legal or equitable proceedings based on such claim or dispute would be barred by the applicable statute of limitation.

6.1 Notice of Dispute

In the event of a dispute, either party must give the other a Notice of Dispute, which will include a written description that sets forth the name, email address, phone number, mailing address of the party initiating the dispute resolution process, as well as a description of the facts giving rise to the dispute and the relief that is being sought. Any Notice of Dispute must be sent to Clear Consults by email at dbrown@clearconsults.com and U.S. Mail to Clear Consults, ATTN: CHIEF LEGAL COUNSEL, 15253 W Circle Road, Hayward, WI 54843. Clear Consults will send any Notice of Dispute to the email address and/or mailing address that you provide us.

6.2 Waiver

Any proceedings to resolve any dispute in any forum will be conducted solely on an individual basis. Neither you nor Clear Consults will seek to have any dispute heard as a class action, private attorney general action, or in any other proceeding in which either party acts or proposes to act in a representative capacity. No arbitration or other proceeding will be combined with another without the prior written consent of all parties to all affected arbitrations or proceedings. If for any reason a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, we each waive any right to a jury trial. We also both agree that you or we may bring suit in court to enjoin infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights.

6.3 Consolidation

In the event this dispute relates to Services we provide involving third-parties, including contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, or any other third-party, these third-parties shall be bound, each to each other, by

this arbitration agreement, provided that they are bound by this Agreement or another contract that incorporates this Agreement by reference or signed any other agreement to be bound by this arbitration agreement. Each such party agrees that it may be joined as an additional party to an arbitration involving other parties under any such agreement. If more than one arbitration is begun under any such agreement and any party contends that two or more arbitrations are substantially related and that the issues should be heard in one proceeding, the arbitrator(s) selected in the first-filed of such proceedings shall determine whether, in the interests of justice and efficiency, the proceedings should be consolidated before that (those) arbitrator(s).

6.4 Confidentiality

The parties agree, and the arbitrator shall issue an order providing that all pleadings, motions, discovery responses, depositions, testimony, and documents exchanged or filed in relation to the arbitration be kept strictly confidential; and that any award issued by the arbitrator shall be entered under seal in a court of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree that any party may seek a separate order from a court of competent jurisdiction enforcing the arbitrator’s order protecting the disclosure of pleadings, motions, discovery responses, depositions, testimony, and documents exchanged or filed in the arbitration, provided that such motion and responses thereto shall be filed under seal.

7.0 General Terms

7.1 Term

The length of the Agreement will commence on the date your payment is received by Clear Consults and will continue until all services have been requested and provided, or a period of 1 year, whichever is sooner. In addition to any amounts owed by either party prior to termination, the sections 4-7 of this Agreement shall survive termination.

7.2 Jurisdiction

You agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the state of Wisconsin, without regard to principles of conflict of laws. Subject to section 6, you agree that any judicial proceeding to resolve claims relating to this Agreement or our Services will be brought in the federal or state courts of State of Wisconsin. Both you and Clear Consults consent to venue and personal jurisdiction in such courts.

7.3 Indemnity

THE CONTENT AND INFORMATION YOU POST, AND ACTIONS YOU ENGAGE IN, WHILE USING OUR SERVICES ARE YOUR RESPONSIBILITY. YOU AGREE TO HOLD CLEAR CONSULTS, OUR AFFILIATES, OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, AND THIRD PARTY SERVICE PROVIDERS HARMLESS FROM AND DEFEND THEM AGAINST ANY CLAIMS, COSTS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, EXPENSES, AND ANY OTHER LIABILITIES, INCLUDING ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF OUR SERVICES, YOUR VIOLATION OF THIS USER AGREEMENT, AND/OR YOUR VIOLATION OF THE RIGHTS OF ANY THIRD PARTY OR PERSON.

7.4 No Warranty

TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED UNDER LAW, CLEAR CONSULTS (AND THOSE THAT CLEAR CONSULTS WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE OUR SERVICES) (A) DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER ORAL OR ELECTRONIC (E.G. WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OF DATA, AND NONINFRINGEMENT); (B) DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE SERVICES WILL FUNCTION WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR ERRORS, AND (C) PROVIDE THE SERVICE (INCLUDING CONTENT AND INFORMATION) ON AN “AS IS” AND “AS AVAILABLE” BASIS. YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY DAMAGE TO YOUR COMPUTER OR MOBILE DEVICE, LOSS OF USE, OR LOSS OF YOUR USER CONTENT. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN DISCLAIMERS, SO SOME OR ALL OF THESE DISCLAIMERS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7.5 Limitation of Liability

TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER LAW (AND UNLESS CLEAR CONSULTS HAS ENTERED INTO A SEPARATE WRITTEN AGREEMENT THAT SUPERSEDES THIS AGREEMENT), CLEAR CONSULTS (AND THOSE THAT CLEAR CONSULTS WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE OUR SERVICES) SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO YOU OR OTHERS FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF DATA, OPPORTUNITIES, REPUTATION, PROFITS OR REVENUES, RELATED TO THE SERVICES (E.G. OFFENSIVE OR DEFAMATORY STATEMENTS, DOWN TIME OR LOSS, USE OR CHANGES TO YOUR INFORMATION OR CONTENT).

IN NO EVENT SHALL THE LIABILITY OF CLEAR CONSULTS (AND THOSE THAT CLEAR CONSULTS WORKS WITH TO PROVIDE OUR SERVICES) EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE FOR ALL CLAIMS, AN AMOUNT THAT IS MORE THAN THE FEE PAID BY YOU FOR YOUR SERVICES. THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN YOU AND CLEAR CONSULTS AND SHALL APPLY TO ALL CLAIMS OF LIABILITY (E.G. WARRANTY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT, LAW) AND EVEN IF CLEAR CONSULTS HAS BEEN TOLD OF THE POSSIBILITY OF ANY SUCH DAMAGE, AND EVEN IF THESE REMEDIES FAIL THEIR ESSENTIAL PURPOSE. SOME LAWS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATION OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY, SO THESE LIMITS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

7.6 Statute of Limitations

You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary, any claim or cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement or the use of our Services must be filed by you within one (1) year after the cause of action arises, or such claim or cause of action is barred.

7.7 Force Majeure

Neither party will be responsible for failure or delay of performance if caused by an act of war, hostility, or sabotage; act of God; electrical, internet, or telecommunication outage that is not caused by the obligated party; government restrictions; or other event outside the reasonable control of the obligated party. Each party will use reasonable efforts to mitigate the effect of a force majeure event.

7.8 Severability

If any provision of this Agreement is held invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be modified to the extent necessary to render it enforceable without losing its intent. If no such modification is possible, that provision will be severed from the rest of this agreement. If we do not enforce any right or provision in this user agreement, that is not to be deemed a waiver of our right to do so in the future. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience and do not control any of its provisions.

7.9 Amendments

We may periodically update our Terms and Privacy Policy. When we do so, we will notify you by posting the updated Agreement and/or Privacy Policy on a page that is linked directly from our homepage located at www.curadux.com. We will also use good faith efforts to notify you by email using the email address you provide us. Your continued use of our Services following notice of our changes constitutes your acceptance of our updated Terms and/or Privacy Policy.
