You may not sell, transfer, or sublease IP address allocations without express written authorization from ARP Networks.

ARP Networks reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any service or feature, in whole or in part, at any time with or without notice.

ARP Networks strives to maintain high availability of its services and network infrastructure. However, ARP Networks does not guarantee uninterrupted, error-free service.

11. DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy

ARP Networks, Inc. operates arpnetworks.com and qualifies as a “Service Provider” within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Accordingly, it is entitled to certain protections from claims of copyright infringement under the DMCA, commonly referred to as the “safe harbor” provisions. We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Thus, we observe and comply with the DMCA, and have adopted the following Notice and Takedown Policy relating to claims of copyright infringement by our users.

How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that your work has been copied and published on ARP Networks infrastructure in a way that infringes on your copyrights, please provide our Designated Agent (identified below) with the following information:

  • An electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright
  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed
  • A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on ARP Networks infrastructure (preferably including specific URLs, IP addresses, or server details associated with the material)
  • Your address, telephone number, and email address
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
  • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf

You may send your Notice of Claimed Infringement to:

ARP Networks, Inc.

8605 Santa Monica Blvd PMB 71478
West Hollywood, CA 90069-4109
USA
Email: abuse [at] arpnetworks.com

Abuse notification: Abusing the DMCA notice procedures set forth above, or misrepresenting facts in a DMCA notice or counter-notification, can result in legal liability for damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees under federal law. See 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). These notice and takedown procedures only apply to claims of copyright infringement by copyright holders and their agents — not to any other kind of abuse, infringement, or legal claim. Please ensure that you meet all legal qualifications before submitting a DMCA notice to our Designated Agent.

How We Respond to Takedown Notices

ARP Networks reserves the right at any time to disable access to or remove any material accessible on our infrastructure that is claimed to be infringing or from which infringing activity is apparent based on facts or circumstances. It is the firm policy of ARP Networks to terminate the account of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and ARP Networks will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512 of the DMCA.

When ARP Networks receives a valid notice, we will expeditiously remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected user. The affected user may then submit a counter-notification as described below.

How to Submit a Counter-Notification

If you are affected by a DMCA removal and believe that the allegedly infringing material has been removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you are permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to § 512(g)(2)-(3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method to dispute the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a notice. The information that you provide in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and you will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against ARP Networks relating to the actions taken in response to the counter-notification.

To submit a counter-notification, please provide our Designated Agent the following information:

  • A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the notice
  • A description of where the material was located on ARP Networks infrastructure before it was removed and/or disabled (preferably including specific URLs, IP addresses, or server details associated with the material)
  • A statement reflecting your belief that the removal or disabling of the material was done erroneously. For convenience, the following language may be used: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
  • Your physical address, telephone number, and email address
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in and for the judicial district where you are located, or if you are outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which ARP Networks may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the notice, or that person’s agent

Written counter-notifications containing the above information must be signed and sent to:

ARP Networks, Inc.
Attn: DMCA Agent
8605 Santa Monica Blvd PMB 71478
West Hollywood, CA 90069-4109
USA
Email: abuse [at] arpnetworks.com

After receiving a counter-notification, ARP Networks will provide it to the claimant who first sent the original notice identifying the allegedly infringing content. Thereafter, within ten to fourteen (10-14) business days of receipt of a counter-notification, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material, provided that we have not received notice that the original claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our infrastructure.

Termination by You

You may terminate your account and discontinue use of ARP Networks services at any time by deleting your services through your customer dashboard. You remain responsible for all outstanding charges accrued prior to termination.

19. Dispute Resolution

Informal Resolution

Before initiating any formal dispute proceedings, you agree to attempt to resolve any dispute informally by contacting ARP Networks through your customer dashboard support ticket system or contact form with a written description of the dispute. ARP Networks will attempt to resolve the dispute within 30 days of receipt. If the dispute is not resolved within that period, either party may proceed to binding arbitration as described below.

Binding Arbitration

BY AGREEING TO THESE TERMS, YOU AND ARP NETWORKS AGREE TO GIVE UP ANY RIGHTS TO LITIGATE CLAIMS IN A COURT OR BEFORE A JURY. OTHER RIGHTS THAT YOU WOULD HAVE IF YOU WENT TO COURT MAY ALSO BE UNAVAILABLE OR MAY BE LIMITED IN ARBITRATION.

ANY DISPUTE, CONTROVERSY, OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR THE BREACH, TERMINATION, OR INVALIDITY THEREOF (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, WHETHER PRE-EXISTING, PRESENT, OR FUTURE) SHALL BE SETTLED EXCLUSIVELY BY BINDING ARBITRATION.

Arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association (AAA) in accordance with its Consumer or Commercial Arbitration Rules, as applicable. Arbitration shall be conducted before a single neutral arbitrator. At the option of the party initiating the arbitration, the proceedings may be conducted by telephone, online, or based solely on written submissions without any personal appearance by the parties. If the parties mutually agree to an in-person hearing, it shall be held in the State of California. The arbitrator shall have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the arbitrability and/or enforceability of this arbitration provision. The arbitrator’s decision shall be final and binding and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction.

Waiver of Jury Trial

YOU HEREBY WAIVE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL AND STATUTORY RIGHTS TO GO TO COURT AND HAVE A TRIAL IN FRONT OF A JUDGE OR A JURY. IN THE EVENT ANY LITIGATION SHOULD ARISE BETWEEN YOU AND ARP NETWORKS IN ANY STATE OR FEDERAL COURT IN A SUIT TO VACATE OR ENFORCE AN ARBITRATION AWARD OR OTHERWISE, YOU AND ARP NETWORKS WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL, INSTEAD ELECTING THAT THE DISPUTE BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE.

Class Action Waiver

YOU AND ARP NETWORKS AGREE THAT EACH PARTY MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims and may not preside over any form of class or representative proceeding. If any provision of this arbitration agreement is found to be unenforceable, the unenforceable provision will be severed, and the remaining arbitration terms will be enforced.


20. Governing Law

These Terms and any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or your use of ARP Networks services shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act, applicable federal law, and the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. The Federal Arbitration Act shall govern the interpretation and enforcement of the arbitration and dispute resolution provisions in Section 19.

For any disputes that are not subject to binding arbitration under Section 19, you consent to the exclusive personal jurisdiction and venue of the state and federal courts located in California.


21. Changes to Terms

ARP Networks reserves the right to update or modify these Terms at any time. When changes are made, the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page will be revised to reflect the date of the most recent update.

For material changes, ARP Networks will provide notice through one or more of the following means: an email to the address associated with your account, or a prominent notice on our website or within the customer portal. It is your responsibility to review these Terms periodically.

Your continued use of ARP Networks services following the effective date of any changes constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms. If you do not agree to the revised Terms, you must stop using our services and terminate your account.


22. Assignment

You may not assign, transfer, or delegate your rights or obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of ARP Networks. Any attempted assignment without such consent shall be void.

ARP Networks may freely assign, transfer, or delegate its rights and obligations under these Terms, in whole or in part, without notice or your consent, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, corporate reorganization, or sale of all or substantially all of its assets.


23. Severability

If any provision of these Terms is found by a court or arbitrator of competent jurisdiction to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable for any reason, that provision shall be deemed severed from these Terms and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect.
