Our Privacy Policy is incorporated into these Terms of Service by reference. However, these Term of Service and our Privacy Policy each constitute a binding legal agreement (collectively or individually, the “Agreement” or “Terms”).

By registering as a member of the Site and/or using the Site, each user ("User," “you,” “your” and terms of similar meaning) has agreed and/or is agreeing to be bound by all Terms herein.
At Emenator, we believe in membership, not censorship, but we do have some rules of conduct across our network that were designed in an attempt to ensure safety and preserve the user experience for all of our members. Thank you for using our Services. The Services are provided by DigiSocial LLC, a Florida limited liability company (“Emenator,” “we,” “us,” “our” and terms of similar meaning). This Agreement was written in English (US). To the extent any translated version of this agreement conflicts with the English version, the English version controls.

Emenator’s TOP 20—This is the short list of very important rules that must be followed, including some things you absolutely cannot do when using Site or any of our Services:You represent and warrant as follows:
You may need one or more Emenator Branded Account in order to use our Services. You may create your own Emenator Account(s), or your Emenator Account may be assigned to you by an administrator, such as your employer or educational institution. If you are using an Emenator Account assigned to you by an administrator, different or additional terms may apply and your administrator may be able to access or disable your account.
To protect your Emenator Account(s), keep your password(s) confidential. You are responsible for the activity that happens on or through your Emenator Account(s). Try not to reuse your Emenator Account(s) password(s) on third-party applications
Unless there are extreme circumstances, it is understood that you, the individual member, are always responsible for the content shared and created through your Emenator account(s).
Individual claims of being “hacked” or having your account otherwise compromised does not absolve you of responsibility for content attributed to you via your account.
Registration and Account SecurityWith regard to registering and maintaining the security of your account, you represent and warrant to us as follows:
Any member may create a Site profile, but only Users with authority over the subject matter may own and/or manage the profile. You may not share login credentials for your profile. However, upon your request and our approval, we may authorize users who have authority over the subject matter to act as managers or to become an owner of your profile. Any such User must agree and accept these Terms before becoming a manager or owner. If you transfer ownership of your profile, you will no longer be able to take certain actions on the profile (such as deleting a profile, for example). You may choose any name for your profile, as long as it complies with our Terms. Once you have selected a profile name, you may elect to change it; however, once your profile has a significant number of followers, we reserve the right to no longer allow a name change.

NOTE: If you submit a removal request and you are NOT the copyright owner, or if you make any false statement in your demand (including a statement that our use of images is infringing when the use is clearly fair), you should be aware that the law imposes substantial liability for any damages and any attorney’s fees incurred as a result.

23. Jurisdiction of Disputes; ArbitrationWith the exception of any claims against you relating to injunctive relief, all disputes and claims relating to this Agreement or any other agreement entered into between the parties, the rights and obligations of the parties, or any other claims or causes of action relating to the making, interpretation, or performance of either party under this Agreement, shall be settled by arbitration in Palm Beach County, Florida, in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act and the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”). Any arbitration proceeding, or any claim in arbitration (including any defense and any claim of setoff or recoupment), must be brought or asserted within one (1) year after the action or inaction occurred that gave rise to such claim or defense, regardless of any statute of limitations, time of discovery statute or rule, savings statute, tolling statute or doctrine, equitable doctrine, or other theory that may be used to extend the time in which a claim or defense can be asserted. Once a written demand for arbitration is made by a party, the other party shall respond to the demand within ten (10) business days; failure to respond will permit the demanding party to seek resolution through litigation in the applicable court located in Palm Beach County, Florida. However, in the event the non-responding party attempts to subsequently participate in the litigation, the demanding party, at its election, may compel the matter to be arbitrated in accordance with this Agreement. To the extend a party attempts to contest the enforceability of this arbitration provision, arbitrability will be decided by the arbitrator, and the parties hereby waive any statutory provision that appears to state that a party may contest arbitrability based upon grounds available in law or in equity for the revocation of any contract. Neither party shall pursue class claims and/or consolidate the arbitration with any other proceeding to which Emenator is a party. Each party must bear its own costs of arbitration; provided, however, that all arbitration fees shall be initially shared equally by the parties. Any failure to equally share arbitration fees prior to the issuance of an arbitration award shall be considered a default and shall permit the non-defaulting party to move for judgment by default, which shall be awarded unless the default is cured within five (5) business days. The arbitrator’s award shall include all arbitration fees, costs and attorneys’ fees for the prevailing party. The arbitrators shall have no authority to amend or modify the terms of the Agreement. Judgment upon the award of the arbitrator shall be submitted for confirmation to the applicable United States District Courts located in Palm Beach County, Florida and, if confirmed, may be subsequently entered in any court having competent jurisdiction. This agreement to arbitrate shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, any claims we may have against you relating to injunctive relief may be litigated in the applicable state and federal court located in Palm Beach County, Florida, and the parties expressly waive any objections to such jurisdiction and venue and irrevocably consent and submit to the personal and subject matter jurisdiction of such court in any action or proceeding. In the event you participate in any litigation by asserting any defense and/or claim, Emenator, at its election and while continuing to seek injunctive relief, may compel all other matters to be arbitrated in accordance with this Agreement.
24. Class Action WaiverYou hereby agree to waive any class action proceeding or counterclaim against Emenator its affiliates, successors or assigns, whether at law or equity, regardless of which party brings suit. This waiver shall apply to any matter whatsoever between the parties hereto which arises out of or is related in any way to this Agreement or the Services, the performance of either party, and/or your purchase from Emenator, its affiliates, successors or assigns.
25. Our RemediesIn the event of a breach or threatened breach by you of any of the provisions of this Agreement pertaining to intellectual property or unauthorized use of the Site, you hereby consent and agree that Emenator shall be entitled to obtain, as a matter of right hereby granted, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that monetary damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief shall be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages or other available forms of relief. Upon the issuance of any injunctive relief, Emenator shall be entitled to recover from you, as part of the its costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, the amount of which shall be fixed by the court, and shall be made a part of any award or judgment rendered (regardless of whether or not the matter is contested).

27. AssignabilityThis Agreement is personal to you and you may not assign this Agreement or the rights and obligations hereunder to any third party.
28. WaiverNo waiver by either party of any default shall be deemed as a waiver of prior or subsequent default of the same of other provisions of this Agreement.
29. SeverabilityIf any term, clause or provision hereof is held invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction such invalidity shall not affect the validity or operation of any other term, clause or provision and such invalid term, clause or provision shall be deemed to be severed from the Agreement.
30. Survival of TermsAny provision of this Agreement which by its nature is able to survive the termination of this Agreement in order to give effect to its meaning shall survive such termination, including but not limited to the ownership, intellectual property rights and licensing provisions set forth in this Agreement.
31. Limitation of ActionsWith the exception of remedies that seek injunctive relief, you agree that you must assert any claim or defense against us arising out of or related to the use of the Site or Services, or otherwise relating to this Agreement, within one (1) year after the action or inaction occurred that gave rise to such claim or defense or will be forever barred, regardless of any statute of limitations, time of discovery statute or rule, savings statute, tolling statute or doctrine, equitable doctrine, or other theory that may be used to extend the time in which a claim or defense can be asserted.
32. Entire AgreementThis Agreement constitutes the entire understanding of the parties, and revokes and supersedes all prior agreements between the parties and is intended as a final expression of their agreement. This Agreement shall not be modified or amended except in writing or Site posting by Emenator. The Site, as posted and amended in the future, and this Agreement, as posted and amended in the future, shall be the valid document respecting the rights and obligations of Emenator and each User.
