We do not have control over other websites and you visit or use them at your own risk. You should always read the terms of use and privacy policy of other websites before using them.

Digital Millennium Copyright Act

If you believe that material on our Website infringes on your copyright, you may send our designated agent a written notice of the claimed copyright infringement (the “infringement notice”), and your notice must substantially comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. Our designated agent, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), to receive infringement notices is:

Conrad M. Funk, DMCA Agent
Lemurian Fellowship
P O Box 397
Ramona CA 92065
e-mail: office@lemurianfellowship.org

We have a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of access and/or use privileges of repeat infringers under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). We maintain a record of infringement notices which are received by our designated agent and which substantially comply with the DMCA.

We make a good faith effort to identify users who may be engaging in repeated copyright infringement. If we receive three (3) infringement notices within one (1) year, each of which are uncontested and result in the final removal of or disabling access to material, the user will be identified as a repeat infringer.

We will consider all relevant facts and circumstances when determining, in our sole discretion, whether or not appropriate circumstances exist for the termination of access and/or use privileges of the repeat infringer. These facts and circumstances include, without limitation, whether the infringement notice and any counter-notice substantially comply with the DMCA; whether the infringement notice was uncontested; whether the infringement was willful, malicious or flagrant; and whether there was a final court judgment of copyright infringement.

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This agreement is governed and interpreted pursuant to the laws of the United States and the State of California, without reference to their rules regarding conflicts of law. You irrevocably consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state or federal courts in San Diego County, California, in all disputes arising out of or related to the use of our Website.

Severability and Waiver

If any part of this agreement is found to be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, that part will be deemed severable and will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. If we do not exercise or enforce any right or provision of this agreement, it shall not constitute a waiver of that right or provision.

Entire Agreement and Modification

This is the entire agreement between you and us, and its provisions cannot be modified, added to or removed (referred to collectively as “changes”) by any oral statement, representation or warranty by us that is not in writing and signed by us. We may make changes to any part of this agreement at any time by updating this posting of the agreement, and the changes will be effective when posted. It is important that you read this agreement whenever you use or visit our Website, in order to be aware of any changes.
