Please read these Terms carefully! By using any Service, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms. You may not use any Service if you do not agree to these Terms.
Unless the context indicates otherwise, as used in these Terms, (i) “AM Faucets Company,” “AMFC,” “us,” “we” and “our” refer to AM Faucets Company, (ii) “Content” refers to any or all text, documents, photographs, images, graphics, logos, emblems, designs, layouts, trademarks, trade names, service marks, copyrighted materials, audio and video presentations and other information and materials provided by us on, through or in connection with any Service, including user interfaces and the selection, coordination and arrangement of such information and/or materials, and (iii) “Software” refers to any software made available to you for downloading through or in connection with any Service.
YOU AFFIRM THAT YOU ARE OF LEGAL AGE TO ENTER INTO THESE TERMS.
THESE TERMS CONTAIN A MANDATORY ARBITRATION PROVISION THAT, AS FURTHER SET FORTH IN THE “GOVERNING LAW; AND ARBITRATION” SECTION BELOW, REQUIRES THE USE OF ARBITRATION ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS TO RESOLVE DISPUTES, RATHER THAN JURY TRIALS OR ANY OTHER COURT PROCEEDINGS, OR CLASS ACTIONS OF ANY KIND.
Service Specific Terms
You may be required to accept other or additional terms in connection with your use of any Service (including any Content or Software) (“Additional Service-Specific Terms”). In that event, such Additional Service-Specific Terms shall be deemed to be incorporated into and be a part of these Terms solely for purposes of such Service. In the event of any inconsistency between any provision of these Terms and any provision of any Additional Service-Specific Terms, the provision in the Additional Service-Specific Terms shall control with respect to such Service only.
Changes to the Service or these Terms
We may change or discontinue any Service at any time without prior notice or obligation to you or charge, modify or waive any fees required to use any Service. Also, we may change these Terms at any time by notifying you of such changes by any reasonable means. We will make reasonable efforts to provide notice to you before the change takes effect so you can discontinue using any Service if you do not want to be bound by the changed Terms. (The means of providing such notice may vary depending on the type of Service you use. For example, if a Service you use is a AMFC website (a “Website”), notice may be accomplished by posting the notice on such Website, and acceptance of any proposed change may be deemed to occur if you continue to use such Website.)
Information Submitted Through the Services
Your submission of information through any Service is governed by our Privacy Policy, located at https://www.amfaucets.com/privacy-policy (the “Privacy Policy”). You represent and warrant that any information you provide in connection with any Service is and will remain accurate and complete, and that you will maintain and update such information as needed. You acknowledge and agree that certain Services (such as connected devices) may transmit information about or related to you or your use of such Service to Company or Company’s applicable service provider, and that Company may use and disclose such information for the purpose of providing any Services to you and for any other purpose consistent with and subject to the Privacy Policy and any applicable Additional Service-Specific Terms.

The Services are owned and operated by AMFC in conjunction with others pursuant to contractual arrangements, and the Services, including any Content and Software (and any intellectual property and other rights therein or relating thereto) are and will remain the property of AMFC and its licensors and suppliers. The Services, including any Content and Software, and the selection, compilation, collection, arrangement and assembly thereof, is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark and other intellectual property laws, and you acknowledge that these rights are valid and enforceable. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms or otherwise authorized in advance by AMFC in writing, you agree not to reproduce, modify, rent, lease, loan, sell, distribute, or create derivative works based (whether in whole or in part) on, all or any part of the Services or any Content, Software, or other materials made available through the Services.

Company grants you a limited, revocable, nonexclusive right and license to (i) use the Service for personal, household purposes in accordance with this Agreement and (ii) make a single backup copy of any Software solely as necessary or useful in connection with permitted uses of the Service, provided that you keep all copyright and other proprietary notices intact. You acknowledge that Company retains ownership of all copies of any Content and Software, and that any such copies are licensed to you and not sold. Company reserves all rights not expressly granted herein. Without limiting the foregoing, you are not granted any right or license to use any Service for any commercial purpose or in any other way that would violate these Terms.
Registration
Some Services may require you to be or become registered. When and if you register for any Service, you agree to (a) provide accurate, current and complete information about yourself as prompted by our registration form (including your e-mail address) and (b) maintain and update your information (including your e-mail address) to keep it accurate, current and complete. You acknowledge that, if any information provided by you is untrue, inaccurate, not current or incomplete, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate your use of the applicable Service (or any portion thereof).
As part of the registration process, you will be asked to select a username and password. We may reject, or require that you change, any username, password or other information that you provide to us in registering, including if such information impersonates someone else, is or may be illegal, is or may be protected by trademark or other proprietary rights law, is vulgar or otherwise offensive, or may cause confusion, as determined by us in our sole discretion. You are entirely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your user name and password and such username and password are for your personal use only. You agree not to transfer or resell your use of or access to any Service to any third party. If you have reason to believe that your account with us is no longer secure, you must promptly change your password and immediately notify us of the problem by sending us an e-mail or calling us using the contact information available here. You are entirely responsible for any and all activities that are conducted through your account (including Purchases (as defined below), as applicable) whether or not authorized by you.
Prohibited Uses
You agree that you will not, in connection with any Service or use thereof, do any of the following:
Your use of the Services is conditioned on your compliance with the rules of conduct set forth in this section; your failure to comply with such rules may result in termination or suspension of your access to or use of the Services.
Forums; Submissions; and Public Communication
Services may enable users to make available certain materials or content (each, a “Submission”), through or in connection with such Services, including any interactive services, such as in a chat area, message board or other forum, or through chatting, commenting or e-mail functions or other messaging functionality (each, a “Forum”). Any Forum is intended to enable you to share comments about Products (as defined below). If you participate in a Forum, any information you disclose in a Submission may be publicly available and you should exercise caution in deciding whether to disclose any personal, financial or other sensitive information there. IF YOU CHOOSE TO MAKE ANY OF YOUR PERSONALLY IDENTIFIABLE OR OTHER INFORMATION PUBLICLY AVAILABLE THROUGH ANY SERVICE, INCLUDING THROUGH A FORUM, YOU DO SO AT YOUR OWN RISK.
For purposes of clarity, you retain ownership of your Submissions. For each Submission, your hereby grant to us and our designees a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, transferable, sublicenseable (through multiple tiers), assignable, perpetual, irrevocable right and license to create derivative works based upon or improvements of such Submissions and to reproduce, display and perform (publicly or otherwise), distribute, transmit, make, have made, sell, offer for sale, import and otherwise use, analyze, commercialize and exploit such Submission, derivative work or improvement in any way for any purpose, or incorporate such Submission, derivative work or improvement into any format or media now known or later developed, for any purpose whatsoever, including for commercial or promotional purposes, without additional compensation to you or any third party. For all such Submissions, you represent and warrant that you have all rights necessary for you to grant the licenses granted in this section, and that such Submissions, and your provision thereof through or in connection with any Service, are complete and accurate, and are not fraudulent, tortious or otherwise in violation of any applicable laws, rules, regulations or rights of any third party. You further irrevocably waive any “moral rights” or other rights with respect to attribution of authorship or integrity of materials regarding all Submissions that you may have under any applicable law under any legal theory.
AMFC cannot prevent other persons who access any Service from using Submissions and personal information they find here, even if their use of that information violates the law, or your personal privacy or safety. None of the Submissions will be subject to any obligation, whether of confidentiality, attribution or otherwise, on our part and we will not be liable for any use or disclosure of any Submissions.
When participating in a Forum, you should not assume that people are who they say they are, know what they say they know or are affiliated with whom they say they are affiliated with. Information obtained in a Forum may not be reliable and it is not a good idea to trade or make any investment decision based solely or largely on information you cannot confirm. We cannot be responsible for the content or accuracy of any information and shall not be responsible for any trading or investment decisions made based on such information.
We may and expressly reserve the right, but have no obligation, to monitor, scan, intercept, review, analyze, store, alter or remove any Submissions or any other messages, information, content or other materials sent to you, or received by you, in connection with any Service or the Forums or its or their features or functionalities, at any time, including while it is in transit, and before and after it is stored or made available through any Service, and to monitor, review or analyze your access to or use of any such Submissions or other messages, information, content or other materials, in each case by manual, automated or other means, and in each case for any purpose, including such purposes as may be described in the Privacy Policy. You acknowledge and agree that we have the right to disclose such information, the circumstances surrounding its transmission, and the identity of the poster to any third party for any reason or purpose.
A testimonial board post or other Submission is not an effective way to tell us you need help with an order or Service feature. If you’d like to tell us about a specific problem, please send an e-mail or call us using the contact information available here. AMFC disclaims liability for any failure on its part to provide help with a specific problem disclosed on any Forum.
Rules for Sweepstakes, Contests and Games
Any sweepstakes, contests, surveys, games or similar promotions (collectively, “Promotions”) made available through a Service may be governed by specific rules that are separate from these Terms. By participating in any Promotions you will become subject to any such rules. We urge you to read any applicable rules, which will be linked from the particular activity, and to review our Privacy Policy (which can be found at https://www.amfaucets.com/privacy-policy) which, in addition to these Terms, governs any information you submit in connection with such Promotions. To the extent that the terms and conditions of such rules conflict with these Terms, the terms and conditions of such rules shall govern with respect to the applicable Promotion.
Making Purchases
The Services may offer, describe, provide information related to, or otherwise refer to goods or services (collectively, “Products”) and may provide links to offers, descriptions, or other information related to Products. Such Products may be made available by us or by third parties, and may be made available for any purpose, including general informational purposes. We may make available the ability to purchase or otherwise obtain certain Products through a Service (a “Purchase”). If you wish to make a Purchase, you will be asked by AMFC or the third-party provider of the Product to supply certain information applicable to your Purchase, such as your credit card number, its expiration date, your billing address, your shipping information and other relevant information. YOU REPRESENT AND WARRANT THAT YOU HAVE THE LEGAL RIGHT TO USE ANY CREDIT CARD(S) UTILIZED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY PURCHASE. By submitting such information, you grant to AMFC and any such third-party provider the right to use, store and disclose such information in accordance with our Privacy Policy, including, without limitation, by providing such information to third parties for purposes of facilitating the completion of Purchases initiated by you or on your behalf. You agree that all information that you provide to AMFC or such third-party provider will be accurate, current and complete. You agree to pay all charges incurred by you or any users of your account and credit card (or other applicable payment mechanism) at the price(s) in effect when such charges are incurred, including all shipping and handling charges. You will also be responsible for paying any applicable taxes relating to your Purchases. Descriptions or images of, or references to, Products on a Service do not imply AMFC’s endorsement of such Products; provided that AMFC may elect to expressly endorse Products. We reserve the right, including without prior notification, to change such descriptions, images or references, to limit the order quantity on any Product and/or to refuse service to you. Verification of information applicable to a Purchase may be required prior to AMFC’s acceptance of any order. We make no representations as to the completeness, accuracy, reliability, validity or timeliness of any Product listings, descriptions or images (including any features, specifications and prices contained therein). Such information and the price and availability of any Product (including the validity of any coupon or discount) are subject to change without notice. If you have any questions or complaints regarding your order, or if you would like further information, please contact Customer Service at the contact information set forth here.
The inclusion of a description of, or of an offer to sell or otherwise provide, any Products on any Website or otherwise in connection with any Service at any particular time does not imply or warrant that those Products will be available at any time. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, we may, for marketing research or other purposes, present offers on the Websites or otherwise for Products that are not then available and that may not ever be made available by us for purchase.
We make reasonable efforts to accurately display the attributes of Products, including the applicable colors; however, the actual color you see will depend on your computer system, and we cannot guarantee that your computer will accurately display such colors. Weights, measures and descriptions are approximate and for convenience only. It is your responsibility to ascertain and obey all applicable local, state, federal and international laws (including minimum age requirements) in regard to the possession, use and sale of any item purchased from a Service. By placing an order, you represent that the Products ordered will be used only in a lawful manner. AMFC reserves the right, with or without prior notice, to limit the available quantity of or discontinue any Product; to honor, or impose conditions on the honoring of, any coupon, coupon code, promotional code, discount or other similar promotions; to bar any user from making any or all Purchase(s); and/or to refuse to provide any user with any Product. Refunds and exchanges will be subject to AMFC’s applicable refund and exchange policies then in effect. When an order is placed, it will be shipped to an address designated by the purchaser as long as that shipping address is complete and compliant with any applicable shipping restrictions and located in a jurisdiction where AMFC, in its sole discretion, permits shipment of the ordered Product(s).

By linking your Web site to ours, you are agreeing to be bound by these Terms.
Limitation of Liability
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER AMFC NOR ANY OF THE OTHER AFFILIATED ENTITIES ARE OR WILL BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS, LOSS OF DATA, LOSS OF USE OR LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF OTHER INTANGIBLES, OR LOSS OF SECURITY OF SUBMISSIONS (INCLUDING UNAUTHORIZED INTERCEPTION BY THIRD PARTIES OF ANY SUBMISSIONS)) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR ANY SERVICES, INCLUDING ANY CONTENT, SOFTWARE OR FORUM, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY, EVEN IF ADVISED IN ADVANCE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LOSSES. THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF AMFC AND THE OTHER AFFILIATED ENTITIES FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THESE TERMS OR ANY SERVICES (INCLUDING ANY SOFTWARE, CONTENT OR FORUM), WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, NEGLIGENCE) OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (I) THE TOTAL AMOUNT PAID BY YOU, IF ANY, FOR THE SERVICES GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM DURING THE ONE HUNDRED EIGHTY (180) DAY PERIOD BEFORE SUCH LIABILITY FIRST ACCRUES AND (II) ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS ($100.00). ALL LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING IN THIS SECTION AND ELSEWHERE IN THESE TERMS) ARE MADE FOR THE BENEFIT OF BOTH AMFC AND THE OTHER AFFILIATED ENTITIES.

Governing Law; and Arbitration
These Terms are governed by, and shall be construed in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act, United States Code Title 9, and, to the extent consistent therewith, the laws of the State of New York and the United States of America applicable to contracts entered into and performed in New York by residents thereof. EXCEPT FOR DISPUTES THAT QUALIFY FOR SMALL CLAIMS COURT, ALL DISPUTES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THESE TERMS OR ANY ASPECT OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN YOU AND AMFC, INCLUDING ANY DISPUTES THAT RELATE TO ANY SERVICE, CONTENT OR SOFTWARE AND ANY DISPUTE REGARDING THE SCOPE, VALIDITY OR ENFORCEABILITY OF THIS AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE, WHETHER BASED IN CONTRACT, TORT, STATUTE, FRAUD, MISREPRESENTATION OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, WILL BE RESOLVED THROUGH FINAL AND BINDING ARBITRATION BEFORE A NEUTRAL ARBITRATOR INSTEAD OF IN A COURT BY A JUDGE OR JURY. AMFC AND YOU ARE EACH WAIVING THE RIGHT TO TRIAL BY A JURY.
YOU AGREE THAT ANY ARBITRATION UNDER THESE TERMS WILL TAKE PLACE ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS; CLASS ARBITRATIONS AND CLASS ACTIONS ARE NOT PERMITTED AND YOU ARE AGREEING TO GIVE UP THE ABILITY TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR OTHER PROCEEDING WHERE A PERSON BRINGS A CLAIM AS A REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PERSON OR PERSONS.
We want to address your concerns without the need for a formal legal dispute. Before filing a claim against us, you agree to try to resolve any actual or potential dispute between you and us (a “Dispute”) informally by contacting us at here to notify us of the actual or potential Dispute. Similarly, we will undertake reasonable efforts to contact you to notify you of any actual or potential dispute to resolve any claim we may possess informally before taking any formal action. The party that provides the notice of the actual or potential Dispute (the “Notifying Party”) will include in that notice (a “Notice of Dispute”) your name (to the extent known), the Notifying Party’s contact information for any communications relating to such Dispute (including for the Notifying Party’s legal counsel if it is represented by counsel in connection with such Dispute), and sufficient details regarding such Dispute to enable the other party (the “Notified Party”) to understand the basis of and evaluate the concerns raised. If the Notified Party responds within ten (10) business days after receiving the Notice of Dispute that it is ready and willing to engage in good faith discussions in an effort to resolve the Dispute informally, then each party shall promptly participate in such discussions in good faith.
If, notwithstanding the Notifying Party’s compliance with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, a Dispute is not resolved within 30 days after the Notice of Dispute is sent (or if the Notified Party fails to respond to the Notice of Dispute within ten (10) business days), the Notifying Party may initiate an arbitration proceeding as described below. If either party purports to initiate arbitration without first providing a Notice of Dispute and otherwise complying with all of its obligations under the preceding paragraph, then, notwithstanding any other provision of these Terms, the arbitrator(s) will promptly dismiss the claim with prejudice and will award the other party all of its costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with such Dispute.
The arbitration will be administered by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as amended by these Terms. The Consumer Arbitration Rules are available here. The arbitrator will conduct hearings, if any, by teleconference or videoconference, rather than by personal appearances, unless the arbitrator determines upon request by you or by us that an in-person hearing is appropriate. Any in-person appearances will be held at a location which is reasonably convenient to both parties with due consideration of their ability to travel and other pertinent circumstances. If the parties are unable to agree on a location, such determination should be made by the AAA or by the arbitrator. The arbitrator’s decision will follow the terms of these Terms and will be final and binding. The arbitrator will have authority to award temporary, interim or permanent injunctive relief or relief providing for specific performance of these Terms, but only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by the individual claim before the arbitrator. The award rendered by the arbitrator may be confirmed and enforced in any court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, nothing in these Terms will preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state or local agencies and, if the law allows, they can seek relief against us for you.
If we elect arbitration, we shall pay all of the AAA filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees). If you elect arbitration, filing costs and administrative fees (other than hearing fees) shall be paid in accordance with the AAA Rules, or in accordance with countervailing law if contrary to the AAA Rules. However, if the value of the relief sought is $10,000 or less, at your request, we will pay all filing, administration, and arbitrator fees associated with the arbitration, unless the arbitrator(s) finds that either the substance of your claim or the relief sought was frivolous or was brought for an improper purpose (as measured by the standards set forth in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)). In such circumstances, fees will be determined in accordance with the AAA Rules. Each party shall bear the expense of its own attorneys’ fees, except as otherwise provided herein or required by law.
Regardless of the rules of any arbitration forum, you and we agree that the arbitration of any Dispute shall proceed on an individual basis, and neither you nor we may bring a claim as a part of a class, group, collective, coordinated, consolidated or mass arbitration (each, a “Collective Arbitration”). Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, a claim to resolve any Dispute against us will be deemed a Collective Arbitration if (i) two (2) or more similar claims for arbitration are filed concurrently; and (ii) counsel for the claimants are the same, share fees or coordinate across the arbitrations. “Concurrently” for purposes of this provision means that both arbitrations are pending (filed but not yet resolved) at the same time.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER YOU NOR WE SHALL BE ENTITLED TO CONSOLIDATE, JOIN OR COORDINATE DISPUTES BY OR AGAINST OTHER INDIVIDUALS OR ENTITIES, OR ARBITRATE OR LITIGATE ANY DISPUTE IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, INCLUDING AS A REPRESENTATIVE MEMBER OF A CLASS OR IN A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL CAPACITY. IN CONNECTION WITH ANY DISPUTE (AS DEFINED ABOVE), ANY AND ALL SUCH RIGHTS ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVED. Without limiting the foregoing, any challenge to the validity of this paragraph shall be determined exclusively by the arbitrator.
Notwithstanding your and our agreement to arbitrate Disputes, you and we retain the right (A) to bring an individual action in small claims court; (B) to seek injunctive or other equitable relief in a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement, misappropriation or violation of a party’s copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets, patents or other intellectual property rights; or (C) bring an action in any court having jurisdiction to confirm or enforce an arbitral award.
This agreement to arbitrate shall survive the termination or expiration of these Terms. With the exception of the provisions of this agreement to arbitrate that prohibit Collective Arbitration, if a court decides that any part of this agreement to arbitrate is invalid or unenforceable, then the remaining portions of this agreement to arbitrate shall nevertheless remain valid and in force. If a court finds the prohibition of Collective Arbitration to be invalid or unenforceable, then the entirety of this agreement to arbitrate shall be deemed void (but no provisions of these Terms unrelated to arbitration shall be void), and any remaining Dispute must be litigated in court pursuant to the preceding paragraph.
Termination
These Terms are effective until terminated by AMFC. AMFC, in its sole discretion, may terminate or suspend your access to or use of any Services, at any time and for any reason, including if AMFC believes that you have violated or acted inconsistently with the letter or spirit of these Terms. Upon any such termination or suspension, your right to use the Services will immediately cease, and you will promptly destroy all copies in your possession or control of any Content or Software (including any backup copies thereof). You agree that any termination or suspension of your access to or use of any Services may be affected without prior notice, and that, upon such termination or suspension, AMFC may immediately deactivate or delete your password and user name, and all related information and files associated with it, and/or bar any further access to such information or files. You agree that AMFC and the other Affiliated Entities shall not be liable to you or any third party for any termination or suspension of your use of or access to the Services or to any such information or files, and shall not be required to make such information or files available to you after any such termination or suspension. The “Service-Specific Terms,” “Information Submitted Through the Services,” “Intellectual Property,” “Registration,” “Prohibited Uses”; “Forums; Submissions and Public Communication,” “Making Purchases,” “Disclaimer of Warranties,” “Third-Party Materials; and Links from any Services,” “Links to Website,” “Limitation of Liability,” “Governing Law; and Arbitration,” “Termination,” “Violations, Waivers, and Indemnity,” “Claims of Copyright Infringement,” “Jurisdictional Issues,” “Feedback; and Questions,” “Important Note to New Jersey Consumers” and “Miscellaneous” sections will survive any termination of these Terms.
Violations, Waivers, and Indemnity
We reserve the right to seek all remedies available at law and in equity for violations of these Terms, including termination, suspension or blocking of your access to the Services. Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such provision or of our legal or equitable rights. Further, no waiver of any rights under this Agreement shall be effective unless it is made in a writing signed by the party charged therewith, and any such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose stated in such writing. To the fullest extent permitted under applicable law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless us and the Affiliated Entities from and against any and all damages, claims, liabilities, judgments, losses, awards, costs, expenses and fees (including attorneys’ fees), arising out of or related to (i) your violation or alleged violation of these Terms; or (ii) any allegation that any materials you submit or transmit to us or otherwise via any Service (including any Submissions) infringe or otherwise violate the copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property or other rights of any third party.

Claims of Copyright Infringement
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by AMFC infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted on one of our Forums), you (or your agent) may send us a notice by mail or e-mail requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by someone against you, the DMCA permits you to send AMFC 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 with respect to the Services should be sent to Corporate IP Counsel as follow: By mail to AM Faucetss, 10401 Post Office Blvd. Ste. 621652 Orlando, Florida 32862; and by e-mail to support@amfaucets.com. Corporate IP Counsel’s phone number is 313-274-7400. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
Filtering
Pursuant to 47 U.S.C. Section 230(d), as amended, we hereby notify you that parental control protections (such as computer hardware, software or filtering services) are commercially available that may assist you in limiting access to material that is harmful to minors. Information identifying current providers of such protections is available from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_content-control_software_and_providers. Please note that AMFC does not endorse any of the products or services listed at such site.
Jurisdictional Issues
