5.2. COPYRIGHT COMPLAINTS AND COUNTER-NOTICES

NEXT CLASS respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. We have adopted the following policy toward copyright infringement related to the Services in accordance with the Intellectual Property Code for Philippines. If you believe in good faith the Site is hosting content that infringes your copyright, please let us know by submitting a notice via email at [email protected] or in writing to 3^rd Floor, The West Wing Bldg., 107 West Ave., Quezon City, 1105. Your notice must contain ALL of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed.
2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (i.e., URL address).
3. Contact information so that we can reach you (address, telephone number and email address).
4. A statement by you 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.
5. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner or are
   authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

Before you file an infringement notice, please carefully consider whether or not the use of copyrighted material at issue is protected by the “fair use”
doctrine, as you could be liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. Please also check to make
sure you haven’t authorized the use at issue (for example, whether you have given a creative professional who prepared materials for your company the right
to use those materials as examples of his or her past work). If you are unsure whether a use of your copyrighted material constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. You may also wish to consult publicly available reference materials such as those found at the https://www.ipophil.gov.ph/.
NEXT CLASS will respond to valid possible copyright infringement issue/concerns or  requests in an expeditious manner. In all cases, if you do not hear from us within 14 days of submitting a complaint, please contact us at [email protected] and we will respond as soon as possible.
After removing access to the material pursuant to a valid possible copyright infringement notice, NEXT CLASS will immediately notify the user responsible
for the allegedly infringing material that it has removed or disabled access to the material. NEXT CLASS reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to
immediately suspend the account of any member who is the subject of repeated copyright infringement notifications.
If you believe access to your content was disabled or removed by NEXT CLASS as a result of an improper copyright infringement notice, please send to our email (contact information above) a written counter‐notice that contains all of the
following:

1. A description of the work improperly removed, along with your user name and the location in the Site at which the content appeared before it was
   removed or disabled.
2. Contact information so that we can reach you (address, telephone number and email address).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury, signed by you, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or
   misidentification.

Before you file a counter-notice, please carefully consider whether or not your use of the copyrighted material at issue is infringing, as you could be liable
for costs and attorneys’ fees in the event that a court decides your counter-notice misrepresented that the material was removed by mistake.
If you are unsure whether use of the material at issue constitutes infringement, please contact an attorney. In addition, you may wish to consult
publicly available reference materials such as those found at the https://www.ipophil.gov.ph/.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, NEXT CLASS will forward it to the notifying party who submitted the original possible copyright infringement notification. The original notifying party (or the copyright holder he or she represents) will then have ten (10) days to notify us that he or she has filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If NEXT CLASS does not receive any such notification within ten (10) days, we may restore the material to the Services. The user hereby agrees, affirms and confirms the right of the Site/Services owner to permanently/temporarily restore, remove or completely
delete the contested material which is the subject of the complaint for infringement.

You agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless NEXT CLASS, its affiliates, licensors and service providers, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, licensors, suppliers, successors and assigns from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, judgments, awards, losses, costs, expenses or fees (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to your violation of these Terms of Use or your use of the Service,
including, but not limited to, your User Contributions, any use of the Service’s content, services and products other than as expressly authorized in these Terms of Use, or your use of any information obtained from the Service.

17. GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION

All matters relating to the Services and these Terms of Use, and any dispute or claim arising therefrom or related thereto (in each case, including non-contractual disputes or claims), shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Philippines without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision.
Subject to Section 18, any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of, or related to, these Terms of Use or the Services shall be instituted exclusively in the proper course of jurisdiction in the Philippines. You waive any and all objections to the exercise of jurisdiction over you by such courts and to venue in such courts.

18. DISPUTE RESOLUTION

Generally. In the interest of resolving disputes between you and NEXT CLASS in the most expedient and cost effective manner, you and NEXT CLASS agree that any dispute arising out of or in any way related to these Terms of Use, your use of the Site or the Services or the purchase, receipt, order or use any of any course will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is less formal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT BY ENTERING INTO THESE TERMS YOU ARE WAIVING THE RIGHT TO A TRIAL OR TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION.

GOVERNING LAW AND JURISDICTION. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of Philippines.

If any dispute arises in connection with this contract, the responsible representatives of the Parties shall attempt, in fair dealing and in good faith, to settle such dispute. Each Party can request from the other Party that on both sides, a senior representative becomes involved in the negotiations. Each Party is at any time entitled to terminate the
settlement negotiations and to have recourse to an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) proceeding set forth in the following paragraph through written notification to the other Party.

If the Parties are not able to reach an amicable settlement pursuant to the preceding section they shall try to agree on an appropriate ADR proceeding (for example mediation, conciliation, expert determination, dispute board, adjudication). If they do not reach an agreement on the appropriate ADR proceeding within 14 days after failure of the settlement negotiations or if the dispute is not settled through an ADR proceeding within a period of two months after initiation of the ADR proceeding, each Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding pursuant to the following paragraph.

All disputes arising out of or in connection with the present contract, including any question regarding its existence, validity or termination, shall be finally settled in accordance with the rules of the Philippine Dispute Resolution Center, Inc. (‘PDRCI”) for the time being in force, which rules are deemed incorporated by reference into this clause.
The arbitral tribunal Shall consist of one arbitrator to be chosen in accordance with the rules of the PDRCI. The seat of arbitration shall be the Philippines. The procedural law of this seat applicable to commercial arbitration proceedings shall apply where the Rules are silent. The language to be used in the arbitration proceedings shall be English.

Notice; Process. A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by Registered Philippine Postal Mail or electronic mail (“Notice”). NEXT CLASS’s address for Notice is 3^rd Floor, The West Wing Bldg., 107 West Ave., Quezon City, 1105 or [email protected] . The Notice must: (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought (“Demand”). The parties will make good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if the parties do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or NEXT CLASS may commence an arbitration proceeding. During the arbitration, the amount of any settlement offer made by you or NEXT CLASS must not be disclosed to the arbitrator until after the arbitrator makes a final decision and award, if any.
Fees. Fees which may be incurred in asserting rights of any user shall be for his/her own account. No Class Actions. YOU AND NEXT CLASS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and NEXT CLASS agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
Modifications to this Arbitration Provision. If NEXT CLASS makes any future change to this arbitration and dispute resolution provisions, other than a change to NEXT CLASS’s address for notice, you may reject the change by sending us written notice within 30 days of the change to NEXT CLASS’s address for notice, in which case this arbitration provision, as in effect immediately prior to the changes you rejected, will continue to govern any disputes between you and NEXT CLASS.
Enforceability. If the Section entitled “No Class Actions” is found to be unenforceable or if the entirety of this Section is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of this Section will be null and void and, in that case, both you and NEXT CLASS agree that the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the proper courts of Quezon City, Philippines  will govern any action arising out of or related to these Terms of Use or your use of or access of the Site, the Services or the purchase, receipt, order of a course.

19. LIMITATION ON TIME TO FILE CLAIMS

ANY CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM YOU MAY HAVE ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OF USE OR THE SERVICE MUST BE COMMENCED WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES; OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION OR CLAIM IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

20. WAIVER AND SEVERABILITY

No waiver of by NEXT CLASS of any term or condition set forth in these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or condition or a waiver of any other term or condition, and any failure of NEXT CLASS to assert a right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision.
If any provision of these Terms of Use is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be eliminated or limited to the minimum extent such that the remaining provisions of the Terms of Use will continue in full force and effect.

21. NO THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES AND ASSIGNMENT

You agree that, except as otherwise expressly provided in this Terms of Use, there shall be no third-party beneficiaries to this agreement.
You may not assign this Terms of Use without the prior written consent of NEXT CLASS, but NEXT CLASS may assign or transfer this Terms of Use, in whole or in part, without restriction.

22. ENTIRE AGREEMENT

The Terms of Use constitute the sole and entire agreement between you and NEXT CLASS with respect to the Services and supersede all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to the Services.
