6.CONTRIBUTORS TO LEVAIRE

Levaire.com allows the posting of Media from and by Bible-believing Christians that embrace traditional Christian theology (“Contributors”). This site is specifically for the posting and downloading of Media within and consistent with such faith. Those individuals or organizations are defined as having an agreement with the Levaire Statement of Belief. Any Media submitted by You deemed, at any time, to be in opposition to the Company Statement of Belief may be refused and/or removed. This determination is at the sole discretion of any authorized person working on behalf of Levaire. In addition, Levaire reserves the right to remove any Media at any time for any or no reason, including an awareness of the ministry, lifestyle or practices of Contributors inconsistent with its understanding of the life and ministry of a Bible-believing Christian.

You grant to Levaire the right to translate Media you download to other languages at the discretion of Levaire. You further authorize Levaire to publish the Media you contribute to other websites in the Levaire family, owned, controlled, operated or under agreement with Levaire, Inc.

In addition to the limitation regarding theological and Christian faith practice, Contributors may not use this site in order to transmit, distribute, or store Media (a) in violation of any applicable law or regulation, (b) in a manner that will infringe the copyright, or other intellectual property rights of others or violate the privacy, publicity or other personal rights of others, or (c) that is defamatory, obscene, threatening, abusive or hateful.

Your submission as a Contributor will be subject to review upon submission and subsequently at any time. You acknowledge that you have no right(s) or expectation(s) as to the posting, acceptance or rejection of the Media you contribute.

By submitting information to Levaire, you grant Levaire a perpetual, royalty-free license to use, reproduce, modify, publish, distribute, and otherwise exercise all copyright and publicity rights with respect to that information at its sole discretion, including storing it on Levaire servers and incorporating it in other works in any media now known or later developed.

If you do not wish to grant Levaire these rights, it is suggested that you do not submit information to this website. Levaire reserves the right to select, edit and arrange submissions, and to remove information from the Levaire website at any time at its sole discretion.

7. INDEMNIFICATION

You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Levaire its content producers and contributors and their respective companies, parents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, and all employees and agents thereof against any and all claims, damages, losses, expenses or costs, including but not limited to any reasonable attorney’s fees, arising out of any unauthorized use or allegedly unauthorized use of any Media supplied to you by Levaire, on behalf of any content producer or contributor, or any other breach by you of any of your obligations under this Agreement. The terms of this section shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement.

8. EXCLUSION OF CONSEQUENTIAL AND OTHER DAMAGES

Levaire will not be liable to user or any third-party claimant for any direct, indirect, special, punitive, consequential, or incidental damages, whether based on a claim or action of contract, warranty, negligence, strict liability, or other tort, breach of any statutory duty, indemnity or contribution, or otherwise. The exclusion contained in this paragraph shall apply regardless of the failure of the exclusive remedy provided in the foregoing paragraph. Some states do not allow the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations or exclusions in this and the foregoing paragraph may not apply to you.

9. MODIFICATIONS TO MEDIA INVENTORY, TERMS OF SERVICE AND OTHER POLICIES

Levaire reserves the right to change media available through the website for purchasing or as a benefit with a subscription product. It may also alter its terms of service policy at any time and to notify you by posting an updated version of the policy on this website. You are responsible for regularly reviewing the policy. Continued use of the service after any such changes shall constitute your consent to such changes.

10. TERMINATION

The License will terminate immediately if you (a) fail to comply with its terms; (b) enter into voluntary or compulsory liquidation, (c) have a receiver appointed or (d) fail to perform any of your obligations under the Agreement within 28 days of our giving you notice to comply. In the event of termination, all rights granted will immediately revert to us and any further exploitation of any Media shall constitute an infringement of copyright.

11. MISCELLANEOUS TERMS

  1. No variation of any of these Terms shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Levaire and you. No action of Levaire, other than an express written waiver, may be construed as a waiver of any clause of this Agreement. In the event that Levaire waives any specific part of this Agreement, such fact does not mean that any other part is waived. In the event of any inconsistency between the Terms and the terms contained in any purchase order or other communication sent by you, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail.
  2. Should any clause of this Agreement be found unenforceable, that will not affect any other clause and each will remain in full force and effect.
  3. In the event Levaire retains an attorney or collection agency to collect any outstanding payment due by you, you agree to pay all collection costs, attorneys’ fees and court costs relating thereto, in addition to any outstanding amounts due and applicable interest.
  4. The validity of this Agreement and the interpretation and performance of all of its terms shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado. You hereby irrevocably agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of any state or federal court located in the County of El Paso, State of Colorado, and expressly waive any claim or defense that such forum is not convenient or proper for purposes of any action arising under this Agreement. The parties hereto waive any right they may have to a jury trail.
  5. You recognize that the Media possess a special, unique and extraordinary character which makes difficult the assessment of monetary damages which Levaire or its content producers and contributors might sustain by an unauthorized use. You agree that irreparable injury would be caused to Levaire or its content producers and contributors by such unauthorized use, and that injunctive relief would be appropriate in the event of breach of this Agreement.
  6. If after notice to you, you fail to take any action which you are obliged to take hereunder, Levaire and its content producers and contributors shall have the right and option, but not the duty, to bring an action for specific performance to compel such action, and obtain all reasonable costs, expenses, attorney’s fees and disbursements with respect thereto if such specific performance is awarded by a court of competent jurisdiction.
  7. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective legal representatives, successors, and assigns.
  8. This Agreement supersedes all prior understandings both oral and written between the Parties and constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties.

COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL

Levaire respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of copyrights and all other intellectual property very seriously, and we ask Users to do the same.

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 US copyright law. If you believe in good faith that Content hosted by the Services infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send Levaire a notice requesting that the content or 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 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 Levaire to locate the content or material within the Services; (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 content or material in a 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 us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirement imposed by the DMCA; see www.loc.gov/copyright for details.

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Service should be sent to:

STATEMENT ON PLAGIARISM

Plagiarism is taking the work of another and misrepresenting it as your own. Levaire is adamantly opposed to such misrepresentation, and reserves the right to exclude any content posted on the site which it considers, at its sole discretion, to be in this category. Furthermore, we reserve the right to freeze the account of any contributor found to be submitting such materials. Any contributor who has acquired free access to Levaire Pro and submitted such materials shall also lose that free access. While it is impossible for Levaire to monitor proper use of sermon content used in the pulpit, we ask each user to acknowledge the work of others as they use it in their preaching.

CREDIT CARD FRAUD POLICY

In the unlikely event that you experience unauthorized use of your credit card on our web site or any web site, you are advised to promptly report the fraudulent activity to your credit card company. Most companies that issue credit card numbers have a toll-free number you may call for 24-hour service. For credit cards issues in the United States by law, once you report the loss or theft, you have no further responsibility for unauthorized charges. In any event, your maximum liability under federal law is $50 per card. If you suspect fraud, you may be asked to sign a statement under oath that you did not make the purchase(s) in question.

Levaire cannot directly provide credit card and billing information that has allegedly been used in a fraudulent manner. Levaire will, however, contact the credit card company to report a claim of fraudulent use at the specific written email request of the cardholder, or when we suspect credit card fraud has occurred. Requests to report fraud should be sent to support@levaire.com and must include the full name, email address, mailing address and phone number of the person claiming fraud. Please call us at 1-517-394-3000, Monday through Friday 9am – 6:30pm (EST), to confirm we have received your written request. The cardholder should be aware that they may be asked by their credit card company to sign a statement under oath that they did not make the purchase(s) in question. We will fully cooperate with all government organizations to the fullest extent possible to help those responsible for credit card fraud be held responsible.

Contacting the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)

In addition to contacting your credit card company, you may want to contact the FTC. From FTC website: “The FTC works to prevent fraudulent, deceptive and unfair business practices in the marketplace and to provide information to help consumers spot, stop and avoid them. To file a complaint or get free information on consumer issues, visit ftc.gov or call toll-free, 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357); TTY: 1-866-653-4261. Watch a video, How to File a Complaint, at ftc.gov/video to learn more. The FTC enters consumer complaints into the Consumer Sentinel Network, a secure online database and investigative tool used by hundreds of civil and criminal law enforcement agencies in the U.S. and abroad.”
