10. Dispute Resolution.
(a) Mandatory Arbitration. Please read this carefully. It affects your rights. YOU AND THE SOURCE AND EACH OF OUR RESPECTIVE SUBSIDIARIES,
AFFILIATES, PREDECESSORS IN INTEREST, SUCCESSORS, AND PERMITTED ASSIGNS AGREE TO ARBITRATION (EXCEPT FOR MATTERS THAT MAY
BE TAKEN TO SMALL CLAIMS COURT), AS THE EXCLUSIVE FORM OF DISPUTE RESOLUTION EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR BELOW, FOR ALL DISPUTES
AND CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR YOUR USE OF THE SERVICES. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit
in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, allows for more limited discovery than in court,
and is subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award.
Please visit www.adr.org for more information about arbitration.
(b) Commencing Arbitration. A
party who intends to seek arbitration must first send to the other, by certified mail, a written notice of intent to arbitrate
(a “Notice”), or, in the absence of a mailing address provided by you to The Source, to you via any other method
available to The Source, including via e-mail. The Notice to The Source should be addressed to: [The Source / ATTN: Levi King
/ 6105 Heritage Station Road / Belleville, IL /62223] (the “Arbitration Notice Address”). The Notice must (i)
describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (ii) set forth the specific relief sought (the “Demand”).
If you and The Source do not reach an agreement to resolve the claim within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or The
Source may commence an arbitration proceeding as set forth below or file a claim in small claims court. THE ARBITRATION SHALL
BE ADMINISTERED BY THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”) IN ACCORDANCE WITH ITS COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION
RULES AND THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (THE “Rules”), AS MODIFIED BY THIS AGREEMENT.
The Rules and AAA forms are available online at www.adr.org or by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879, or by writing to the
Notice Address. If you are required to pay a filing fee to commence an arbitration against The Source, then The Source will
promptly reimburse you for your confirmed payment of the filing fee upon The Source receipt of Notice at the Arbitration Notice
Address that you have commenced arbitration along with a receipt evidencing payment of the filing fee, unless your Demand
is equal to or greater than $1,000, in which case you are solely responsible for the payment of the filing fee.
(c) Arbitration Proceeding. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language. A single independent
and impartial arbitrator shall be appointed pursuant to the Rules, as modified herein. You and The Source agree to comply
with the following rules, which are intended to streamline the dispute resolution process and reduce the costs and burdens
on the parties: (i) the arbitration shall be conducted by telephone, online and/or be solely based on written submissions,
the specific manner to be chosen by the party initiating the arbitration; (ii) the arbitration shall not require any personal
appearance by the parties or witnesses unless otherwise mutually agreed in writing by the parties; and (iii) any judgment
on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
(d) No Class Actions. YOU AND THE SOURCE AGREE THAT YOU AND THE SOURCE MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR
ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. FURTHER,
YOU AGREE THAT THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE PROCEEDINGS OF MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS, AND MAY NOT OTHERWISE
PRESIDE OVER ANY FORM OF A REPRESENTATIVE OR CLASS PROCEEDING, AND THAT IF THIS SPECIFIC PROVISO IS FOUND TO BE UNENFORCEABLE,
THEN THE ENTIRETY OF THIS MANDATORY ARBITRATION SECTION SHALL BE NULL AND VOID.
(e) Decision of the Arbitrator. Barring extraordinary circumstances, the arbitrator shall issue his or her decision within 120 days
from the date the arbitrator is appointed. The arbitrator may extend this time limit for an additional 30 days in the interests
of justice. All arbitration proceedings shall be closed to the public and confidential and all records relating thereto shall
be permanently sealed, except as necessary to obtain court confirmation of the arbitration award. The award of the arbitrator
shall be in writing and shall include a statement setting forth the reasons for the disposition of any claim. The arbitrator
shall apply the laws of the State of Illinois in conducting the arbitration. You acknowledge that this Agreement and your
use of the Services and the Website evidence a transaction involving interstate commerce. The United States Federal Arbitration
Act shall govern the interpretation, enforcement, and proceedings pursuant to the Mandatory Arbitration clause in this Agreement.
(f) Applicable Law. This Agreement and your use of the Services and the Website shall be governed by
the substantive laws of the State of Illinois without reference to its choice or conflicts of law principles. Only if the
Mandatory Arbitration clause is deemed to be null and void, then all disputes arising between you and The Source under this
Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in St. Clair County, Illinois,
and you and The Source hereby submit to the personal jurisdiction and venue of these courts.
(g) Equitable Relief. The foregoing provisions of this Dispute Resolution section do not apply to any
claim in which The Source seeks equitable relief of any kind. You acknowledge that, in the event of a breach of this Agreement
by The Source or any third party, the damage or harm, if any, caused to you will not entitle you to seek injunctive or other
equitable relief against The Source, and your only remedy shall be for monetary damages, subject to the limitations of liability
set forth in this Agreement.
(h) Claims. You and The Source agree that, notwithstanding
any other rights the party may have under law or equity, any cause of action arising out of or related to this Agreement,
the Services or the use of the Website, excluding a claim for indemnification, must commence within one year after the cause
of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.
(i) Improperly Filed Claims. All claims you bring against The Source must be resolved in accordance with this Dispute Resolution section. All
claims filed or brought contrary to this Dispute Resolution section shall be considered improperly filed. Should you file
a claim contrary to this Dispute Resolution section, The Source may recover attorneys’ fees and costs up to $5,000,
provided that The Source has notified you in writing of the improperly filed claim, and you have failed to promptly withdraw
the claim.
11. Notice and procedure for making claims
of copyright or other intellectual property infringements.
(a) The
Source respects the intellectual property of others and takes the protection of copyrights and all other intellectual property
very seriously, and we ask our users to do the same. Infringing activity will not be tolerated on or through the Site or The

that has uploaded Products or Submissions to the Service and for whom The Source has received more than two takedown notices
compliant with the provisions of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c) with respect to such Products or Submissions. The Source has discretion,
however, to terminate the account of any user after receipt of a single notification of claimed infringement or upon The Source’s
own determination.

Infringement. If you believe
that any Productions or Submissions made available on or through the Site or The Source Service have been used or exploited

covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;

the material;
(iv)Information reasonably sufficient to permit The
Source to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may
be contacted;
(v) A statement that you have a good faith belief that
the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(vi) A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty
of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
You should consult with your own lawyer and/or see 17 U.S.C. § 512 to confirm your
obligations to provide a valid notice of claimed infringement.

(e) Counter Notification. If you receive a notification from The Source that material made available by you on or through the Site or The Source
Service has been the subject of a Notification of Claimed Infringement, then you will have the right to provide The Source
with what is called a “Counter Notification.” To be effective, a Counter Notification must be in writing, provided
to The Source’s Designated Agent through one of the methods identified in Section 11(d) of this TOS, and include substantially
the following information:

of the subscriber;
(ii) 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

Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United
States, for any judicial district in which The Source may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process
from the person who provided notification under Section 11(c) of this TOS above or an agent of such person.
A party submitting a Counter Notification should consult a lawyer or see 17 U.S.C. §
512 to confirm the party’s obligations to provide a valid counter notification under the Copyright Act.
(f) False Notifications of Claimed Infringement or Counter Notifications.
The Copyright Act provides
that:
[a]ny person who knowingly materially misrepresents under [Section
512 of the Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512)] (1) that material or activity is infringing, or (2) that material or activity
was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’
fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner’s authorized licensee, or by a service
provider, who is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of [The Source] relying upon such misrepresentation in removing
or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing
to disable access to it. 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). The Source reserves the right to seek damages from any
party that submits a notification of claimed infringement or counter notification in violation of the law.

regarding its subject matter, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the parties

contractors, and no agency, partnership, joint venture, or employee-employer relationship is intended or created by these
