Copyright Dispute Policy

If you believe that material or content that resides or is accessible on or through the Platform infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to GCOC’s designated agent:

  • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
  • Identification of the works or materials being infringed;
  • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed as well as the date and time of the alleged infringement, with sufficient detail so that GCOC is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
  • Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;
  • A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material identified is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
  • A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
  • The notice may not contain any of the following:
  • an offer to settle the claimed infringement or reference, including by way of hyperlink, to such an offer, request or demand; or
  • a request or demand, made in relation to the claimed infringement, for payment or for personal information.

If the notice is non-compliant with the foregoing requirements, GCOC is not obligated to pass the notice on to the alleged infringer and to otherwise preserve that person’s identity for subsequent enforcement proceedings.

If a proper bona fide infringement notice is received by the designated agent, it is GCOC’s policy to (i) remove or disable access to the infringing material; (ii) to notify the content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and/or (iii) discipline repeat offenders in accordance with applicable laws, by removing and/or terminating the offender’s access to or use of the Platform, Services and/or Content thereon. If the notice is non-compliant with the foregoing requirements, GCOC is not obligated to pass the notice on to the alleged infringer and to otherwise preserve that person’s identity for subsequent enforcement proceedings.

Forward Looking Statements

No information contained in the Online Services constitutes or shall be deemed to constitute an invitation to invest or otherwise deal in any security of GCOC.

Various pages and parts of the Online Services contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of applicable securities laws. All statements, other than statements of historical fact are forward-looking statements including statements addressing predictions, expectations, beliefs, plans, projections, objectives, assumptions or future events. Words such as “expects,” “does not expect,” “is expected,” “anticipates,” “does not anticipate,” “intends,” “plans,” “projects,” “believes,” “does not believe,” “estimates,” “may,” “could,” “would,” “might,” or “will,” or any grammatical variations of such words and similar expressions are used to identify such forward-looking statements.

Forward-looking statements relating to the operations of GCOC are based on management’s expectations, estimates and projections about GCOC in effect on the date the statements were made. While management considers the assumptions made to be reasonable, the assumptions are inherently subject to significant business, social, economic, political, regulatory, competitive and other risks and uncertainties, contingencies and other factors that could cause actual performance, achievements, actions, events, results or conditions to be materially different from those projected in the forward-looking statements. These statements are therefore not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict and beyond the control of management. Further, certain forward-looking statements are based upon assumptions as to future events that may not prove to be accurate. Accordingly, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. GCOC undertakes no obligation to subsequently update or revise the forward-looking statements contained on the Online Services to reflect events or circumstances after the date of posting other than as required by applicable law.

Hyperlinks and Frames

The Online Services may contain links to other web sites or online services which are not operated by GCOC (the “External Sites”). GCOC has no control over and is not responsible or liable for the External Sites, including but not limited to the content of such External Sites, or their respective privacy and data collection practices. The links to External Sites are only for your convenience and therefore you access them at your own risk. Links do not imply that GCOC sponsors, endorses, is affiliated with or associated with, or has been legally authorized to use any trademark, trade name, service mark, design, logo, symbol or other copyrighted materials displayed on or accessible through such External Sites. Before you frame or create any kind of hyperlink to the Online Services, you must obtain the prior written permission of GCOC.

GCOC makes no representations or warranties about the accuracy or completeness of the content of the Online Services or the content of any web site or online service “linked” to the Online Services. Any decision made by you based on information contained in the Online Services or web sites or online services “linked” to or from this Online Service is your sole responsibility. Neither GCOC nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries shall be liable for any direct, incidental, consequential, indirect or punitive damages arising out of access to or inability to access the Online Services, or the use of or reliance on any content in the Online Services or the content of any web sites or online services “linked” to or from the Online Services.

Limitation of Liability

IN NO EVENT SHALL GCOC BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL, DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES WHATSOEVER, EVEN IF GCOC HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, WHETHER IN AN ACTION UNDER CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR ANY OTHER THEORY, ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THE USE, INABILITY TO USE, OR PERFORMANCE OF THE INFORMATION, SERVICES, PRODUCTS, AND MATERIALS AVAILABLE FROM THE ONLINE SERVICES. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY. BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW LIMITATIONS ON HOW LONG AN IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, OR THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.
