The Parties agree to perform their obligations with total good faith.

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

Please note that Section 512(f) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act may impose liability for damages on any person who knowingly sends meritless notices of infringement. Please do not make false claims.

Any information or correspondence that you provide to us may be shared with third parties, including the person who provided us with the allegedly infringing material.

Upon receipt of a bona fide infringement notification by the designated agent, it is our policy to remove or disable access to the infringing material, notify the user who posted the material that Keakr has removed or disabled access to the material, and, for repeat offenders, to terminate such user’s access to the service.

If you believe that your content should not have been removed for alleged copyright infringement, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice with the following information:

• Identification of the copyrighted work that was removed, and the location on the Services, Platform or Website where it would have been found prior to its removal;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification; and
• Your physical or electronic signature, together with your contact information (address, telephone number and, if available, email address).
If a counter-notice is received by the designated agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, informing that person that Keakr may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Keakr’s discretion.

These General Terms of Use are governed by French law. This is the case for the substantive rules and the rules of form, notwithstanding the places of performance of the substantive or ancillary obligations.

IN CASE OF DISPUTE, THE TRIBUNAL OF COMMERCE OF PARIS SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION, NOTWITHSTANDING PLURALITY OF DEFENDERS OR THIRD PARTIES BEING BROUGHT TO THE PROCEEDINGS.
