Our Compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)

Orchard complies with takedown procedures and counter-notice mechanisms, as specified under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“ DMCA ”), 17. U.S.C. § 512.  Pursuant to the DMCA, notifications of claimed copyright infringement by third parties must be sent to Our Designated Agent,  Dan Meisner, whose contact information appears below.  We have filed notice of our Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office.

Takedown Procedures

Copyright owners or agents may submit a notification of alleged infringement to Us, pursuant to the DMCA.  We will only act on notices of claimed infringement made in accordance with the provisions of the DMCA.  For a notice of claimed infringement to be effective under the DMCA,  the notification of claim must be a written communication to Our Designated Agent.  If You, as a copyright owner or agent of an owner, believe that there is material on this Website that infringes Your copyright(s), you may submit a proper notification, as described in § 512(c)(3), which shall include:

Upon receipt of a proper notification of alleged copyright infringement, We will remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice, forward the written notification to the alleged infringer, and take reasonable efforts to notify the alleged infringer that We have removed or disabled access to the material in question.

Copyright Infringement Notifications Should Be Directed to Our DMCA Agent :

121 River Way Lane

New Market, AL  35761

206-730-8776

legal@3DOrchard.com

Or, You may send an e-mail notifying Us of alleged copyright infringement, provided the message within Your e-mail meets the standards iterated above, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3): legal@3DOrchard.com  (ATTENTION: Dan Meisner, RE: DMCA Takedown)

YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT IF YOU FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ALL OF THE REQUIREMENTS OF THIS SECTION, YOUR DMCA NOTICE MAY NOT BE VALID.

Counter-Notice Mechanism

Under the DMCA, claimants who make misrepresentations may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by Orchard for relying upon a misrepresentation.  We reserve the right to pursue damages against such parties.

If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed with Us in accordance with the above terms, and We disable access to the allegedly infringing content, the third party may file a counter notification with Our Designated Agent as listed above.

To be effective, a counter notification must be a written communication provided to Our Designated Agent that includes the following:

If We receive a valid counter-notice, We will provide the original complainant with a copy of the counter notice, inform the complainant that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in within fourteen (14) days from receipt of the counter notification, provided, however,  that We do not receive notice from the complainant that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Our computer system.

The DMCA provides penalties for a false counter notice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement.  Orchard reserves the right to pursue damages, including attorneys’ fees, against claimants who make misrepresentations in their the counter-notification statement.

By complying with the foregoing, it is Our expressed intent to comply with the provisions of the DMCA to limit its liability to the fullest extent as provided therein.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Orchard will terminate any User account that is the subject of two (2) separate DMCA takedown notification violations .  For a User whose content is removed and later restored as part of a DMCA takedown and subsequent counter-notification procedure, We will treat that underlying DMCA notification as having been withdrawn.  In any event, Orchard reserves the right to terminate any User account, which is the subject of fewer than two (2) DMCA takedown notifications , according to our business judgment and as We deem appropriate, given the surrounding circumstances.


SUBSCRIPTIONS

Ongoing Nature of Subscription: Your free or paid Orchard subscription will automatically continue (month-to-month for a paid subscription, year-to-year in the case of an annual paid subscription), unless and until you cancel your subscription or we terminate it. You must have Internet access and provide us with a current, valid accepted method of payment (as it may be updated from time to time, “Payment Method”) in order to purchase and use a paid subscription. We will bill your subscription fees to your Payment Method. You must downgrade or cancel your subscription before it automatically renews in order to avoid billing of the next period’s subscription fees to your Payment Method.


Differing Subscriptions:  Orchard may offer a number of subscription plans, including special promotional plans or subscriptions with differing conditions and limitations. The terms of your subscription will be disclosed at the time you sign up or in other communications made available to you. You can find specific details regarding your subscription after logging in, within your account profile at https://3dorchard.com/#!/profile . We reserve the right to modify, terminate or otherwise amend our subscription plans at any time, in our sole and absolute discretion.

BILLING

Recurring Billing: By starting your paid Orchard subscription and providing or designating a Payment Method, you authorize us to charge you a subscription fee at the then current rate, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of the Orchard Service to your Payment Method. You acknowledge that the amount billed each period may vary for reasons that may include promotional offers, and/or changing a plan, and you authorize us to charge your Payment Method for such varying amounts, which may be billed in one or more charges.


Price Changes:  We reserve the right to adjust pricing for the Orchard Service or any components thereof in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole and absolute discretion. Any price changes to your service will take effect following notice to you provided via email or notification within Orchard’s Service.


Billing Cycle:  The subscription fee for the Orchard Service will be billed at the beginning of your paid subscription period and each anniversary date thereafter, except as provided below under “Group Subscriptions,” unless and until you downgrade to a free subscription or cancel your subscription. We automatically bill your Payment Method each period on the calendar day corresponding to the commencement of your paid subscription. We reserve the right to change the timing of our billing as indicated below, if your Payment Method has not successfully settled. In the event your paid subscription began on a day not contained in a given month or year, we will bill your Payment Method on an alternative day in the applicable month or year as we deem appropriate. For example, if you started a paid monthly subscription on January 31st, your next payment date is likely to be February 28th, and your Payment Method would be billed on that date. You can view the date on which your account will next be billed by signing into your account and navigating to https://3dorchard.com/#!/profile . We may authorize your Payment Method in anticipation of subscription or other charges. As used in this Agreement, “billing” shall indicate a charge, debit or other payment clearance, as applicable, against your Payment Method.


Refunds and Credits:  IF A PAID SUBSCRIPTION IS CANCELLED OR DOWNGRADED TO A FREE SUBSCRIPTION, PAYMENTS ARE NONREFUNDABLE AND THERE ARE NO REFUNDS OR CREDITS FOR PARTIALLY USED PERIODS. However, if changing between paid subscriptions, such as downgrading from a yearly subscription to a monthly, your account will be credited and prorated for the difference. Following the cancellation of any paid subscription, you will continue to have access to Orchard’s paid service through the end of your current billing cycle. At any time, and for any reason, we may provide a refund, discount, or other consideration to any or all of our subscribers (“credits”). The amount and form of such credits, and the decision to provide them, are at Orchard’s 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 circumstances.

Taxes:  You shall be responsible for paying all applicable sales, use, transfer, or other taxes and all duties, whether national, state, or local, however designated, that are levied or imposed by reason of your paid use of the Service under this Agreement, excluding income taxes on the net profits of Orchard. You shall reimburse Orchard for the amount of any such taxes or duties paid or incurred directly by Orchard as a result of such paid use, and you agree that Orchard may charge any such reimbursable taxes to your Payment Method.


Payment Methods:  You may edit your Payment Method information by signing in to your account at https://3dorchard.com/#!/profile . If a payment is not successfully settled, due to expiration, insufficient funds, or otherwise, and you do not edit your Payment Method information or downgrade or cancel your subscription, you remain responsible for any uncollected amounts and authorize us to continue billing the Payment Method, as it may be updated. This may result in a change to your payment billing dates. For certain Payment Methods, the issuer of your Payment Method may charge you a foreign transaction fee or other charges. Check with your Payment Method service provider for details.


Downgrades and Cancellation:  You may downgrade from a paid subscription to a free subscription, or cancel your subscription, at any time. If you cancel your subscription, you are responsible for exporting your Content, if you so choose, prior to cancelling.
