  1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner (the "Complainant") of the copyright or other intellectual property interest that has allegedly been infringed;
  2. A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that the Complainant claims has been infringed;
  3. A description of where the infringing material or activity that the Complainant is located on the Website, with enough detail that we may find it on the Website (e.g., Profile ID);
  4. The name, address, telephone number and email address of the Complainant;
  5. A statement by the Complainant that upon a good faith belief the disputed use of the material or activity is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent or the law; and

B) DateSutra's Response to Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations.

Upon DateSutra's receipt of a Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations, DateSutra will take the following steps:

  1. Promptly remove or disable access to the material or activity claiming to be infringing;
  2. Notify the person responsible for posting the alleged infringement of copyright or other intellectual property rights (the "Subscriber") that the material or activity has been removed or access to it has been disabled; and
  3. Provide the Subscriber with a Counter Notification Form outlining the steps they are required to follow if they wish to respond.

C) Counter Notification Form.

If a Subscriber receives notice that a material or activity posted on the Website was removed or disabled and the Subscriber wishes to dispute the Notice for Claims of Intellectual Property Violations, the Subscriber must provide DateSutra's Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. An electronic or physical signature of the Subscriber;
  2. A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that has been removed or disabled and the location where the material appeared before removed or disabled;
  3. A statement by the Subscriber, made under penalty of perjury, that the Subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
  4. The Subscriber's name, address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that the Subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the judicial district in which the Subscriber's residence is located if in the United States, or a similar court in the country of the Subscriber's residence. The Subscriber must also provide a statement that they will accept service of process from the Complainant.

D) DateSutra's Response upon Receipt of a Counter Notification Form.

Upon DateSutra's receipt of a Counter Notification Form, DateSutra will take the following steps:

  1. Promptly provide the Complainant with a copy of the Counter Notification Form;
  2. Promptly inform the Complainant that the removed or disabled material or activity will be replaced or re-enabled in not less than ten (10), but no more than fourteen (14), business days unless DateSutra's Copyright Agent first receives notice that the Complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material or activity on the Website; and
  3. After the period in subsection 2 above has elapsed, replace or re-enable the disabled material unless a notice of action as defined in subsection 2 above has been received (unless the material is determined by DateSutra in its sole discretion to potentially infringe any intellectual property rights).

To the extent the notices and "take down" requirements above deviate from the requirements under the DMCA, then the notice requirements as provided by the DMCA shall control and are herein incorporated by reference.

In accordance with the DMCA, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and in the sole discretion of DateSutra, Registered Users or Members who are deemed to be repeat copyright infringers. We may also in our sole discretion limit access to the Website and/or terminate the registration or membership of any User who infringes upon any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

E) Use of Messaging, Email, Blogging and Video.

Some of DateSutra's features provide Members with access to mail and/or profile comments. You agree not to use this feature of the Service to broadcast "junk mail," "spam," "chain letters," or unsolicited mass distribution of files or images.

In order to ensure that these communication services are not abused, DateSutra may establish general practices and limits concerning their use. These may include but are not necessarily limited to a maximum number of days that messages will be retained by the Service, a maximum number of messages that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, a maximum size or length of any message that may be sent from or received by an account on the Service, a maximum amount of disk space that will be allotted for your stored messages, a maximum amount of time spent broadcasting and viewing video, and a maximum time period and number of times you may have access to the Service in a given time frame.

7) Membership With DateSutra.

The following terms are specifically associated with the purchase of a DateSutra membership.

A) Payment Obligation and Credit Card Authorization.

The Member is responsible for paying periodic membership fees. All listed fees are in U.S. dollars. Paying Members authorize DateSutra's payment processor(s) to charge the Member's credit card (or other approved facility) for the ongoing cost of membership. Payment for the appropriate services will be made by automatic debit to the Member's credit card (or other approved facility). Paying Members will be automatically renewed for a term equal to the original term upon expiration of the then-current term, and continually thereafter, unless the Member terminates the membership online prior to the renewal date pursuant to the process set forth below. The Member acknowledges and agrees that the authorization to charge the Member's credit card for services shall automatically transfer to any successors or assigns of the Service for substantially similar services on the Website. The Member may not assign or transfer his or her membership to any other individual or entity. You must have reached the age of majority in your jurisdiction (18, or older, depending on the age of majority in your jurisdiction) in order to register for a membership.

Payment must be made by a major credit card, checking account or phone charge accepted by DateSutra's payment processor(s). The billing period ends each term on the anniversary of your activation date ("Billing Date"). If DateSutra does not receive payment from the credit card issuer or its agent, you agree to pay all amounts due upon demand by DateSutra. Your card issuer agreement governs your use of your designated card in connection with the Service, and you must refer to that agreement and not these Terms to determine your rights and liabilities as a cardholder. YOU, AND NOT DATESUTRA, ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR PAYING ANY AMOUNTS BILLED TO YOUR CREDIT CARD BY A THIRD PARTY WHICH WERE NOT AUTHORIZED BY YOU.

DATESUTRA RESERVES THE RIGHT, AT ANY TIME, TO CHANGE ITS FEES AND BILLING METHODS, INCLUDING THE ADDITION OF SUPPLEMENTAL FEES OR SEPARATE CHARGES FOR CONTENT OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY DATESUTRA OR CHANGES TO SERVICES ASSOCIATED WITH VARIOUS MEMBERSHIP OPTIONS, EFFECTIVE THIRTY (30) DAYS AFTER AN ONLINE POSTING AT DATESUTRA. DATESUTRA MAY ADDITIONALLY PROVIDE NOTICE OF BILLING CHANGES VIA EMAIL. IF ANY SUCH CHANGE IS UNACCEPTABLE TO YOU, YOU MAY TERMINATE YOUR MEMBERSHIP TO THE SERVICE, AS PROVIDED BELOW. YOUR CONTINUED USE OF THE SERVICE FOLLOWING THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF A CHANGE TO SUCH FEES AND BILLING METHODS SHALL CONSTITUTE YOUR ACCEPTANCE OF SUCH CHANGE.

B) Member Information.

You agree to provide true, accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted during the membership process. You are required to provide an accurate email address during the registration process for transactional (order confirmation, refund and renewal processing), informational (to provide you with notifications of matches or message events from other members of the Service) and promotional (newsletters, new product offerings, special discounts, event notifications, special third-party offers) purposes. Email messages we send you may contain code that enables tracking of your usage of the e-mails, including whether the e-mail was opened and what links (if any) were clicked. Users can opt out of any non-transactional email messages using the settings features included as part of the Service.

Users should protect their email account, as it is one of the few ways we can resolve DateSutra account issues accurately.

Once you are a Member of the Service, your username and password will allow access to Member services appropriate to the level of membership you purchased. You are solely and entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password. Furthermore, you are solely and entirely responsible for any and all activities that occur under your account. Members must promptly inform DateSutra of any of the following: changes in the expiration date of any credit card used in connection with the service; changes in home or billing address; and apparent breaches of security, such as loss, theft or unauthorized disclosure or use of an account or password. Until DateSutra is notified by email of a breach in security, the Member will remain liable for any unauthorized use of all DateSutra services, and for any charges that accrued to his or her account.

C) Cancellation of Your Membership.

You may terminate your membership at any time. When termination is requested, your credit card (or other approved facility) will not be automatically renewed and access will be terminated on the expiration date. Termination of your membership shall not relieve you of any obligations to pay accrued charges, including any prorated charges accrued for the billing cycle during which your membership is terminated.

D) Membership Termination for Breach of Terms.

You acknowledge that DateSutra, in its sole discretion, may terminate your account (or any part thereof) or use of the Service for any reason, including without limitation, if DateSutra believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. DateSutra may also, in its sole discretion, at any time discontinue providing the Service, or any part thereof, with or without notice.

You agree that any termination of your access to the Service under any provision of these Terms may be effected without prior notice, and acknowledge and agree that DateSutra may immediately deactivate or delete your account and/or bar any further access to the Service. Further, you agree that DateSutra shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Service.

E) Trial Memberships.

DateSutra occasionally offers promotional trial memberships to its premium services at special discounted prices. Members that sign up for such trial memberships will be automatically renewed at the normal membership rate at the end of the trial period, unless the Member cancels before the end of the trial.

F) Access.

Members are responsible for providing all personal computer and communications equipment necessary to gain access to the Service. Access to and use of the membership service is through a combination of a user name and a password. Each Member must keep his password strictly confidential. DateSutra will not release passwords for any reason, except as may be specifically required by law or court order or in a permitted transfer. Unauthorized access to the membership service is a breach of these Terms and a violation of law.

8) Refund Policy.

Refund Policy: The billing system used by Datesutra.com or our authorized agents provides extensive credit card fraud protection measures and includes many features to protect users from accidental cha rges. Therefore, Datesutra.com will only issue a refund in case the reported problem is proved to be well grounded and we feel that a refund is merited. Refunds will be provided only under the rarest of c ircumstances and only after our Customer Service team carefully investigates claims using all data at its disposal. Refunds will be considered for the following issues: persistent technical problems origi nating with the Datesutra.com service that have been reported to our Customer Service department. Datesutra.com does not provide cash refunds: the requested transaction is refunded back to the customer by our authorized billing agent. If an issued refund is for a recurring billing, only the most recent payment will be refunded. At Datesutra.com's discretion, a refund for a recurring billing will result in an immediate cancellation of recurring service. On issuing a refund, Datesutra.com reserves the right to add the customer to the negative databases of our associated authorized billing agents, and to any third party fraud prevention agents associated with the Datesutra.com product.

9) Limitations of Liability.

YOU HEREBY AGREE THAT WE WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR ANY LOSS OF REVENUE, PROFITS OR DATA ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE, EVEN IF WE HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion of certain warranties or the limitation or exclusion of liability for incidental or consequential damages. Accordingly, some of the above limitations may not apply to you.
