If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send INTERACTOR a notice requesting that we remove the material or block access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send INTERACTOR a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See http://www.copyright.gov/ for details. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to:

Copyright Agent
Pulzze Systems Inc.
1290-B Reamwood Ave
Sunnyvale, CA 94099
legal@INTERACTOR.com
+1 408.484.7780

We encourage you to consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice.

The Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and INTERACTOR with respect to your use of this Site and supersede all prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals, whether electronic, oral or written, between you and INTERACTOR with respect to this Site. The Terms and the relationship between each user and INTERACTOR shall be governed by the laws of the State of California 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 Santa Clara, California. 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. A party may only waive its rights under these Terms, by a written document executed by both parties. Any failure to enforce any provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision hereof. You may not assign, transfer or sublicense any or all of your rights or obligations under these Terms without INTERACTOR’s express prior written consent. No provision of these Terms is intended for the benefit of any third party, and the parties do not intend that any provision should be enforceable by a third party either under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or otherwise.
