This terms-of-use agreement is entered into between you and EF Communications LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (“Company,” “we,” or “us”). The following terms, together with any documents they expressly incorporate by reference (collectively, this “agreement”), govern your access to and use of the interactive chat and camera streaming service through the Company’s website located at Camsurf.com (the “Website”) and the Company’s mobile application (collectively, “Camsurf”), including any content, functionality, and services offered on or through Camsurf (the “Services”), whether as a guest or a registered user.

Please read this agreement carefully before you start to use Camsurf. By downloading the mobile application, accessing using the Website, making any use of the Service, or clicking to accept or agree to this agreement when this option is made available to you, you agree to be bound and abide by this agreement and our Acceptable Use Policy (“AUP”). If you do not want to agree to this agreement or the AUP, you must not access or use Camsurf.

Camsurf is offered and available to users who are 18-years old or older. By using Camsurf, you state that you are of legal age to form a binding contract with the Company and meet all the foregoing eligibility requirements. If you do not meet all these requirements, you must not access or use Camsurf.

Changes to the Agreement

We may revise and update this agreement from time to time in our sole discretion. All changes are effective immediately when we post them and apply to all access to and use of Camsurf afterwards. However, any changes to the dispute resolution provisions stated in Governing Law and Jurisdiction will not apply to any disputes for which the parties have actual notice on or before the date the change is posted on Camsurf.

Your continued use of Camsurf after the posting of the revised agreement means that you agree to the changes. You are expected to check this webpage frequently so you are aware of any changes, as they are binding on you.

Online Purchases

Recurring Billing. By starting your VIP membership and providing or designating a payment method, you authorize our authorized payment processor to charge you the VIP membership fee at the rate in effect when you originally signed up, and any other charges you may incur in connection with your use of Camsurf, such as taxes or possible transaction fees. Your VIP membership will continue for the length of the initial term you select, and, at the end of your prepaid initial term, it will automatically renew for additional prepaid periods of the same length. You must cancel your VIP membership before it renews to avoid billing of the next term’s membership fees to your payment method. Your account will automatically be charged at the rates in effect at the time you originally signed up.

Price Changes. We may adjust pricing for our service or any components of it in any manner and at any time as we may determine in our sole discretion.

Billing Cycle. The VIP membership fee for our service will be billed at the beginning of the paying part of your membership and each billing cycle afterwards, as indicated on the payment page at the time of initial purchase, until you cancel your membership.

Billing Disputes. If you believe we have charged you in error, you must notify us or our authorized payment processor in writing no later than 30 days after you receive the billing statement in which the error first appeared. If you fail to notify within this 30-day deadline, you waive any disputed charges. You must submit any billing disputes in writing using the contact form or by contacting our authorized payment processor directly at https://cs.segpay.com/. Please include a detailed statement describing the nature and amount of the disputed charges. We will correct any mistakes in a bill and add or credit them against your future payments.

No Refunds. Payments are nonrefundable and there are no refunds or credits for partially used periods, except that we may approve a refund in the form of a credit on request if exceptional circumstances exist. If you believe exceptional circumstances exist, please contact us and explain the circumstances that you believe merits a refund. We are not making any promise that we will give you a refund. If we give you a refund, we will issue the refund in the form of free services or a credit to the payment method you used for your purchase; we will not make refunds in the form of cash or check. The provision of a refund in one instance does not entitle you to a refund in the future for similar instances; nor does it obligate us to provide refunds in the future, under any circumstance.

Cancellation. You may cancel your VIP membership at any time, and you will continue to have access to the VIP membership benefits through the end of your billing cycle. To cancel your VIP membership, click on “my account” and then click “cancel membership.” If you need assistance cancelling your membership, please contact our billing support department.

Users restored will be expected to demonstrate continued adherence to this agreement.

Camsurf Copyright Policy

Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from Camsurf.com (the “Website”) infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Website by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (designated below). In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.

• Identification of the copyright work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Website, a representative list of the works.

• Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material.

• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).

• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

• A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate.

• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you fail to comply with all the requirements of section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the Website was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (identified below). In accordance with the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.

• An 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 disabled.

• Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, email address).

• A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.

• A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States, the United States District Court for the District of Wyoming) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Website with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice.

Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under section 512(f) of the DMCA.

Repeat Infringers

It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers in accordance with our repeat infringer policy.

Camsurf “Repeat Infringer” Policy

EF Communications LLC, a Wyoming limited liability company (the “Company”), the owner and operator of Camsurf.com (the “Website”), will withdraw all rights and privileges from its subscribers and account holders (collectively, “subscribers”) who are deemed repeat infringers. For these purposes, the Company will count “strikes”. A strike will arise against a subscriber every time (1) that it has been adjudicated, in a court of competent jurisdiction, to have committed copyright infringement; (2) that the Company receives a separate DMCA notice that substantially complies with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), sent on a different calendar day from any other DMCA notice, alleging copyright infringement within any 12-month period; or (3) that the Company has actual knowledge that it has committed an act of copyright infringement.

Each separate adjudication or DMCA notice gives rise to a separate strike. In addition, to the extent that a single adjudication or DMCA notice pertains to different copyrights that were infringed on different days, it can give rise to multiple strikes.

No strike arises from one or more notifications of claimed infringement (regardless whether subject to counter-notification from the subscriber) that fails to substantially comply with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), or from facts or circumstances from which the subscriber’s infringement seems apparent, absent actual knowledge on the Company’s part.

The Company has decided to follow the rule of “two strikes and you’re out.” Accordingly, a subscriber against whom there are two strikes will be deemed a “repeat infringer.” The subscriber will be defrocked from the Website as soon as practicable (in the ordinary course of business, within one week). Nonetheless, the Company reserves the right to remit a strike under appropriate circumstances, such as when the subscriber provides adequate evidence that it infringed unintentionally or in the good faith belief that its conduct did not constitute infringement, or that the adjudicating court considered the issue of infringement to be open to divergent interpretations. The Company will also consider “appropriate circumstances” to remit a strike as including a requirement of proportionality: A subscriber who engages in widescale exploitation, a small percentage of which is determined to constitute copyright infringement (even if willfully so), will not accrue a strike if that infringement appears aberrational in the entire context of the subscriber’s exploitation.

A strike will arise by virtue of any act of copyright infringement. Typically, those activities will consist of the violation of rights provided under Title 17, United States Code. However, to the extent that the Company gains actual knowledge that a subscriber has violated the copyright laws of a foreign country or of one of the several states, that conduct equally constitutes a strike. The subject infringement is cognizable regardless of whether it occurred in an online context or elsewhere.

Once defrocked from the Website, the subscriber will not be allowed to rejoin the Website until ten years after the most recent strike. If a subscriber who was previously defrocked returns to the Website, then for a period of one year, the subscriber will be “on probation.” If, during that year, the Company receives a notification of claimed infringement as to that individual—even absent corroboration or court judgment—to which the subscriber fails to reply by an appropriate counter-notification, the subscriber will be defrocked again. Any time that an individual or entity has been twice defrocked, he or she will remain permanently unable to rejoin the Website.

For these purposes, the Company will maintain a registry of its defrocked subscribers. The registry will be updated monthly and will retain all implicated names for a period of 30 years.

Because of the risks of acting on inaccurate information, the Company will not accrue strikes against its subscribers based on allegations that those individuals have been previously defrocked by another service provider.

The Company will accrue a strike with respect to the subscriber only. If the subscriber is an entity, that entity will be deemed the only entity against whom one strike exists for purposes of the repeat infringer policy (meaning that no individual will thereby be implicated).

Concomitantly, if the subscriber is an individual, he or she will be deemed the only individual against whom one strike exists for purposes of the repeat infringer policy (meaning that no corporate entity will thereby be implicated).

Once an individual or entity has been defrocked, the Company will not allow another individual or entity bearing substantially the identical name and mailing address to enroll in the Website, absent evidence showing that it is not the same individual or entity that was previously defrocked. In addition, to the extent that the Company is provided with evidence that a current subscriber is the same individual or entity that was previously defrocked, and the current subscriber does not credibly challenge that evidence, the Company will terminate service to that subscriber. This exclusion does not apply, however, to previously defrocked subscribers who are already allowed to join after the passage of the requisite years or after satisfying the other criteria set forth above.

A subscriber’s activity of taking down challenged material or of settling a lawsuit for copyright infringement, without more, will not be deemed to create a strike. All the circumstances must be taken into account. If, for example, in the context of a settlement the subscriber admits to having committed copyright infringement and the Company gains actual knowledge of that admission, a strike arises.
