DESCRIPTION OF SERVICE

ACTINC Web Sites are owned and operated by ACTINC for the purpose of fostering software development and content creation under Open-Source Initiative ("OSI")-approved licenses or other arrangements relating to software and/or content development that may be approved by ACTINC (the "Purpose").

ACTINC currently offers users access to a rich collection of on-line resources for Open Source software development and content creation on ACTINC Web Sites, including various communications tools, issue tracking, product roadmaps, project tracking, online forums, personalized content, and branded programming (collectively, the "Services"). To use these ACTINC Web Sites Services, each user must independently obtain access to the World Wide Web, either directly or through devices that access Web-based content, and pay any and all service fees or equipment costs associated with such access.

REGISTRATION OBLIGATIONS

ACTINC requires registration for certain Services, including the ability to post on online forums. Where registration is required, each user must: (a) provide true, accurate, current and complete information on the Service's registration forms (collectively, the "Registration Data") and (b) maintain and promptly update the Registration Data as necessary. If, after investigation, we have reasonable grounds to suspect that any user's information is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we may suspend or terminate that user's account and prohibit any and all current or future use of the Services (or any portion thereof) by that user other than as expressly provided herein.

Each user will receive a password and account designation upon completing the registration process and is wholly responsible for maintaining the confidentiality thereof and wholly liable for all activities occurring thereunder. ACTINC cannot and will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from a user's failure to comply with this Section, including any loss or damage arising from any user's failure to (a) immediately notify ACTINC of any unauthorized use of his or her password or account or any other breach of security and (b) ensure that he or she exits from his or her account at the end of each session.

No user shall transmit Content or otherwise conduct or participate in any activities on ACTINC Web Sites and/or any Service which, in the judgment of ACTINC, is likely to be prohibited by law in any applicable jurisdiction, including laws governing the encryption of software, the export of technology, the transmission of obscenity or the permissible uses of intellectual property.

ACTINC, in its sole and absolute discretion, may preserve Content and may also disclose Content if required to do so by law or judicial or governmental mandate or as reasonably determined useful by us to protect the rights, property or personal safety of ACTINC, ACTINC Web Sites users and the public. ACTINC does not control the Content posted via the Service and, as such, does not guarantee the accuracy, integrity or quality of such Content. Under no circumstances will ACTINC be liable in any way for any Content, including, but not limited to, liability for any errors or omissions in any Content or for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of the use of any Content posted, emailed or otherwise transmitted via ACTINC Web Sites or any Service thereon.

COPYRIGHTS

ACTINC requires that the people who use the ACTINC Web Sites respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that your work has been copied and is accessible on this site in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify us by providing the following information in writing: the electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or the person authorized to act on the owner's behalf; identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit ACTINC to locate the material; your name, address, telephone number, and email address; 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; a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf. If ACTINC receives such a claim, ACTINC reserves the right to refuse or delete Content as described under Section 5 hereto, or to terminate a user's account in accordance with Section 9.

After receiving a claim of infringement, ACTINC will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying or substantially complying with the DMCA, ACTINC will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, and will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. ACTINC will take reasonable steps promptly to notify the subscriber that it has removed or disabled access to such material.

Upon receipt of a proper counter notification under the DMCA, ACTINC will promptly provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification and inform that person that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten business days. Additionally, ACTINC will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14 business days following receipt of the counter notice, unless ACTINC's designated agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the ACTINC Web Sites system or network.

You may provide us with a Counter Notification by providing our copyright agent the following information in writing: your physical or electronic signature; 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 was disabled; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which ACTINC may be found and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the initial notification of infringement.

RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES

In the event a dispute arises between you and ACTINC, our goal is to provide you with a neutral and cost effective means of resolving the dispute quickly. Accordingly, you and ACTINC agree that any claim or controversy at law or equity that arises out of this Agreement or our services ("Claims") shall be resolved in accordance with one of the subsections below or as otherwise mutually agreed upon in writing by the parties.

Amicable resolution. Before resorting to the other alternatives below, we strongly encourage you to first contact us directly to seek an amicable resolution through dialog. Alternative Dispute Resolution. Alternatively, ACTINC will consider reasonable requests to resolve the dispute through alternative dispute resolution procedures, such as mediation, as an alternative to litigation. Binding Arbitration. For any Claim (excluding Claims for injunctive or other equitable relief) where the total amount of the award sought is less than $10,000, you or ACTINC may elect to resolve the dispute through binding arbitration conducted by telephone, on-line and/or based solely upon written submissions where no in-person appearance is required. If in-person appearance is required, it shall be held in Orange County, Florida or another location mutually agreed upon by the parties. In all such cases, the arbitration shall be administered by the American Arbitration Association or JAMS in accordance with their applicable rules, or any other established ADR provider mutually agreed upon by the parties. Any judgment on the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.

Court. Alternatively, any Claim may be adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction located in Orange County, Florida or where the defendant is located (in our case Orlando, Florida, and in your case your home address or principal place of business). You and ACTINC agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Orange County, Florida. All Claims (excluding requests for injunctive or equitable relief) between the parties must be resolved using the dispute resolution mechanism that is selected in accordance with this Section by the first party to file a Claim. Should either party file an action contrary to this Section, the other party may recover attorneys' fees and costs up to $1000, provided that the party seeking the award has notified the other party in writing of the improperly filed Claim, and the other party has failed to withdraw the Claim.

GENERAL INFORMATION

The Terms constitute the entire agreement between each user and ACTINC and govern each user's use of the Service, superseding any prior agreements. Each user may be subject to additional terms and conditions that may apply when that user uses affiliate services, third party content or third party software. The Terms and the relationship between each user and ACTINC shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida without regard to its conflict of law provisions and each party shall submit to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of the courts located within the county of Orange, Florida. If any provision of the Terms is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, the parties nevertheless agree that the court should endeavor to give effect to the parties' intentions as reflected in the provision, and the other provisions of the Terms remain in full force and effect.
