dmca
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under the U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by KN infringe your copyright, you or your agent may send to KN a notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon KN actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to KN a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see https://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf for details. KN’s Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or counter notices can be reached as follows: support@theketonutritionist.com.

entire agreement & assignment
These Terms, including the Privacy Policy and any executed Membership Agreement between you and KN, constitute the entire agreement and understanding between the parties concerning the subject matter hereof, notwithstanding any different or additional terms that may be contained in the form of purchase order or other document used by you to place orders or otherwise effect transactions hereunder, which such terms are hereby rejected. These Terms supersede all prior or contemporaneous discussions, proposals, and agreements between you and KN relating to the subject matter hereof. No amendment, modification, or waiver of any provision of these Terms by you will be effective unless in writing and signed by an officer of KN.

These Terms shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of KN and our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives. Neither these Terms nor any rights hereunder may be assigned without the prior written consent of KN. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations under these Terms may be freely assigned by KN to any affiliated entity.

choice of law & forum; dispute resolution
These Terms will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut, without reference to its conflict of laws principles. All disputes arising out of or relating to these Terms will be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of a court of competent jurisdiction located in Connecticut, and each party irrevocably consents to such personal jurisdiction and waives all objections to this venue.

All disputes shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Connecticut and any dispute shall be subject to binding arbitration in Connecticut.
class action waiver
You may only resolve disputes with us on an individual basis, and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. Class arbitrations, class actions, private attorney general actions, and consolidation with other arbitrations are prohibited. The arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person’s claims, and may not otherwise preside over any form of a class or representative proceeding or claims (such as a class action, consolidated action, or private attorney general action) unless all relevant parties specifically agree to do so following initiation of the arbitration.
waiver & severability
No waiver of rights by us may be implied from any actions or failures to enforce rights under these Terms. These Terms are intended to be and are solely for the benefit of KN and you, and do not create any right in favor of any third party. If any clause within these Terms is found to be illegal or unenforceable, that clause will be severed from these Terms, and the remainder of the Terms will be given full force and effect. If the Class Action Waiver clause is found to be illegal or unenforceable, the dispute will be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction.
