REKATA respects the intellectual property rights of others, and requires that the people who use the REKATA Websites do the same. It is our policy to respond promptly to claims of intellectual property misuse.

If you believe that your work has been copied and is accessible on this site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us by providing our copyright agent with the following information in writing:

1. the electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;

If REKATA receives such a claim, REKATA reserves the right to refuse or delete Content as described under Section 5 hereto, or to terminate a user's account in accordance with Section 9.

After receiving a claim of infringement, REKATA will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying or substantially complying with the DMCA, REKATA will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, and will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. REKATA will take reasonable steps promptly to notify the subscriber that it has removed or disabled access to such material.

Upon receipt of a proper counter notification under the DMCA, REKATA will promptly provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification and inform that person that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten business days. Additionally, REKATA will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless REKATA's designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the REKATA Websites system or network.

You may provide us with a Counter Notification by providing our copyright agent the following information in writing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
4. your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which REKATA may be found and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement.

17. RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

In the event a dispute arises between you and REKATA, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and REKATA agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties.

1. Amicable resolution. Before resorting to the other alternatives below, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek an amicable resolution through dialog.
2. Alternative Dispute Resolution. Alternatively, REKATA will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation.
3. Binding Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, you or REKATA may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. If in-person appearance is required, it shall be held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties. In all such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.
4. Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia or where the defendant is located (in our case Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, and in your case your home address or principal place of business). You and REKATA agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action contrary to this Section 21, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1000, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.
