8. Jurisdictional Issues.
The Service is controlled and operated by OpenHouse360 from its offices within the State of California, in the United States of America.

The materials and functionalities available on the service are provided “as is” and without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent permissible pursuant to applicable law, openhouse360 disclaims, on behalf of itself and its affiliates and licensors, all warranties, express or implied, including, but not limited to, implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. Openhouse360 does not warrant that the functions on the service will be uninterrupted or error-free, that defects will be corrected, or that the service will be free of viruses or other harmful components. Openhouse360 does not make any representations or warranties regarding the use or the results of the use of the materials or functions on the service in terms of their correctness, accuracy, reliability, results to be achieved, or otherwise.

To the extent permitted under applicable law: (a) under no circumstances, including, but not limited to, negligence, shall openhouse360 or its affiliates or licensors be liable for any consequential, incidental or other indirect damages resulting from the use of, or the inability to use, the service, even if openhouse360 or a openhouse360 authorized representative has been advised of the possibility of such damages; and (b) the aggregate liability of Openhouse360 and its affiliates or licensors to you shall not exceed the total amounts paid by you to matterport over the twelve (12) months preceding your claim(s). Applicable law may not allow some or all of this limitation of liability, so it may not apply to you.

You will indemnify, defend, and hold harmless OpenHouse360, its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, employees, and agents, from and against any claim, demand, action, class action, investigation or other proceeding, including but not limited to all damages, losses, liabilities, judgments, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees) arising therefrom (“Claims”), brought by any third party that is based on, or arises out of: (a) your activities on or use of the Service; (b) your violation, or apparent violation, of any of these Terms; or (c) any allegation that any material you submitted to OpenHouse360 violates any law or infringes any third party right, including any intellectual property or privacy right.

13. Site Security.
You are prohibited from violating, or attempting to violate, the security of the Service, including without limitation to conduct a denial of service attack or other attack.

You may submit this information to OpenHouse360’s copyright agent by email at copyright@openhouse360.com or by mail to: OpenHouse360 LLC., 941 Orange Avenue, Suite 215, Coronado, CA 92118 Attn: Copyright Agent. OpenHouse360 may disclose any communications concerning DMCA notices or other intellectual property complaints with third parties, including the users who have posted the allegedly infringing material.
If you believe that your material is not infringing or has otherwise been removed by mistake, please provide OpenHouse360 with a written counter-notification containing the following information: (i) your name, address, and telephone number; (ii) a description of the material that was removed and the location on the Service where it previously appeared; (iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; (iv) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or an agent of that person; and (v) your electronic or physical signature. You may submit this information by the methods described in the prior paragraph. Please note that we will send any complete counter-notifications we receive to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice. That person may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we will restore the removed materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed. We will provide a copy of the original DMCA takedown notice upon request.
Please note that if you fail to comply promptly with the foregoing requirements or any request from OpenHouse360 for additional information, your DMCA notice or counter-notification may not be processed further.
