If you believe that your own copyrighted work is accessible on the Site, through the Facebook application, or through the Service in violation of your copyright, you may provide our Designated DMCA Agent with a written communication as set forth in Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA that contains substantially the following information:

If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by your notification, you may provide a representative list of such works at that site.
  • Identify the URL or other specific location on the Grockit website or service that contains the material that you claim infringes your copyright described in Item 1 above. You must provide us with reasonably sufficient information to enable us to locate the alleged infringing material.
  • Provide the electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  • Include 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.
  • Include a statement by you that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you attest under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
  • Include your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.

You may submit any notification of alleged copyright infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent by fax, mail, or email at the contact information noted above. Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys fees, if you materially misrepresent that content on the Site, the Facebook application, or Service is copyright infringing. Upon receiving a proper notification of alleged copyright infringement as described in this Section A, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and promptly notify the alleged infringer of your claim. We also will advise the alleged infringer of the DMCA statutory counter-notification procedure described below in Section B by which the alleged infringer may respond to your claim and request that we restore this material.

B. Counter Notification

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Site, the Facebook application, or Service as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification letter to our Designated Copyright Agent pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. To be an effective counter notification under the DMCA, your letter must include substantially the following:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found.
  • A statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the notification of alleged copyright infringement or the party’s agent.
  • Your name, address and telephone number.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

You may submit your counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent by fax, mail, or email at the contact information noted above.

If you send us a valid, written counter-notification letter meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material after 10 business days but no later than 14 business days from the date we receive your counter notification, unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from the party filing the original notification of alleged copyright infringement informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.

Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees.

8. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, the Company has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at the Company’s sole discretion, Grockit members who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

20. Billing & Refund Policy

Grockit is an online test preparation service. By starting your Grockit membership, you are expressly agreeing that we are authorized to charge you a membership fee at the rate offered when you begin your membership, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Grockit service, to the payment method you provide to secure your membership (or to a different payment method if you change your account information). The membership fee will be billed at the beginning of the paid portion of your membership, and for subscriptions, periodically thereafter unless and until you cancel your membership. If you are eligible, and have signed up for a free trial that requires a payment method, your payment method may be authorized; however, no charges will be made against the payment method if you cancel prior to the end of your free trial. We reserve the right to change our membership prices and to institute new charges at any time.

All purchases and payments are final and nonrefundable, except where explicitly stated as part of an ongoing marketing promotion. No refunds or Credits will be provided for unused service.

At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to some or all of our members (“Credits”). The amount and form of such Credits, and the decision to provide them, are at our sole and absolute discretion. The provision of Credits in one instance does not entitle you to Credits in the future for similar instances, nor does it obligate us to provide Credits in the future, under any circumstance.
