Notification of Claimed Copyright Infringement Policy. We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users and Members to do the same. We have adopted this Copyright Infringement Complaints policy in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, including the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (the “DMCA”). We will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that substantially comply with the requirements set forth here. We do not act as an arbiter or judge of disputes about intellectual property rights. It is our policy to remove content posted by users on our Website (including any photo galleries), which content we believe in good faith is infringing a copyrighted work. By removing content, as a prudential matter, we do not endorse or validate a claim of infringement. If we remove user-generated content from the Website, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the party responsible for posting the content so the owner may make a counter-notice as provided for below.
(a) Designated Agent. Our designated agent for handling infringement notices and counter-notices: Waverley Country Club, Attn: DMCA Agent, P 1100 SE Waverly Drive, Portland, OR 97222; [email protected].
(b) Infringement Notices. If you believe your work has been displayed or otherwise used on the Website in a manner that infringes your copyright, you must provide written notice to our Designated Agent via mail and/or e-mail. Please note that you may be liable for damages, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs, if you materially misrepresent that your work has been infringed by content on the Website. If you are unsure whether your work has been infringed, we recommend that you contact an attorney before sending notice to us. Use this format for your notice: (i) Identify your work that you believe has been infringed by content on the Website; (ii) identify all content that you claim infringes your work, describe how the content infringes your work, and describe where the content is located on the Website; (iii) provide your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and e-mail address, if any; (iv) include a statement that, under the penalty of perjury, you have a good-faith belief that use of the content in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (v) include a statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right that is allegedly infringed; and (vi) sign the notice physically or electronically. You acknowledge and agree that we may provide some or all of the information in your notice (including your name and contact information) to the individual or entity who posted the allegedly infringing content. In addition, it would help if you included a copy of the copyright Certificate of Registration for your work, if any, or other information that supports your claim that your work is protected by copyright and that you are the owner of that copyright or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner. If your notice contains the required information, and if we have a good-faith belief that the content is infringing your copyright, we will remove the content.
(c) Counter-Notices. The provider of affected content may make a counter notice by writing to our Designated Agent via mail and/or email. Please note that you may be liable for damages, including without limitation attorneys’ fees and costs, if you materially misrepresent that your content is not infringing the copyright of a third party. If you are unsure whether your content infringes the copyright of a third party, we recommend that you contact an attorney before sending notice to us. Use this format for your notice: (i) Identify the content that has been removed, including a description of where the content was located on the Websites before it was removed; (ii) provide your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, if any; (iii) include a statement that, under the penalty of perjury, you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification of the content to be removed; (iv) include a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, in the Federal District Court of Oregon, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notice of the alleged infringement or an agent of such person; and (v) sign the notice physically or electronically. You acknowledge and agree that we may provide some or all of the information in your notice (including your name and contact information) to the individual or entity who complained of the alleged infringement.
After reviewing your counter notice, we may determine that the content is not infringing and may reinstate the content on the Website.
Indemnification.By using the Website or Services you agree to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Waverley and its ‎affiliates, licensors, service ‎providers, subcontractors, and suppliers, and each of ‎their respective officers, directors, members, ‎shareholders, employees, representatives, and ‎agents (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) from and ‎against any and all suits, losses, claims, ‎demands, liabilities, expenses, damages and costs, including ‎reasonable attorneys’ fees, court ‎costs and expenses, arising or resulting from (i) your misuse of the ‎Website, the Services, their content, and/or any ‎other materials they contain; (ii) your violation of these Terms or ‎breach of, or the falsity of, any of your ‎representations or warranties or covenants in these Terms; (iii) your negligent or willful ‎misconduct; ‎‎(iv) the Submissions that you submit through the Website; or (v) your violation of any ‎‎applicable law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or any third party’s rights, including but not ‎limited to, ‎copyright infringement, trade secret misappropriation, infringement of third party’s ‎trademark or other ‎intellectual property rights, violation of any third party privacy right or right ‎of publicity, or any claim of ‎defamation, libel or slander. This obligation survives the ‎termination of this Agreement and continues ‎even after you stop using the Website and Services.‎
If you cause a technical disruption of the Website or Services or the systems transmitting the ‎Website or Services to you or ‎others, you agree to be responsible for any and all losses, liabilities, expenses, ‎damages, and costs, ‎including reasonable attorneys’ fees and court costs, arising or resulting ‎from that disruption.
Waverley ‎reserves the right, at its own expense, to assume exclusive ‎defense and control of any matter ‎otherwise subject to indemnification by you and in such case, ‎you agree to cooperate with Waverley in ‎the defense of such matter.‎
Disclaimer of Warranties.The Website and Services are provided on an “as is” and ‎‎“as available” basis. Your use ‎of the Website and Services and the content therein is at your sole risk. ‎Waverley makes no representation or warranty that the Website or Services or content therein will meet your needs, or the needs of any third party. Waverley does not represent or warrant that ‎your use of any features of the Website or Services will be successful. ‎Waverley specifically disclaims all warranties, express or ‎implied, statutory, or otherwise, regarding the accuracy, safety, timeliness, sufficiency, ‎fitness, and/or completeness of the information contained on the Website or Services. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in ‎these Terms, your Membership Agreement, or otherwise, Waverley ‎expressly disclaims any and all representations and warranties, ‎whether express, implied, statutory, or otherwise, with respect to ‎the Website and Services and content therein, including without limitation ‎any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular ‎purpose, title, non-infringement, and warranties that may arise ‎out of course of dealing, course of performance, usage, or trade ‎practice. Waverley makes no representation or warranty that the Website or Services will be free of malicious or harmful code, or that ‎access to the Website or Services will be uninterrupted, timely, secure, or ‎error-free, or that information input into the Website or Services will not be ‎lost or destroyed.‎
In certain jurisdictions, the law may not permit the disclaimer of warranties, so, solely to ‎the extent ‎you are subject to such jurisdiction, the above disclaimer may not apply to you.‎
Limitation of Liability.You acknowledge and agree that Waverley, its affiliates, licensors, service providers, subcontractors, and suppliers, and each of their respective officers, directors, members, shareholders, employees, representatives, and agents ‎shall not be liable under or in connection with these terms for any loss of use, loss of data, damage or destruction of ‎equipment, interruption of business, lost profits, or any indirect, exemplary, punitive, special, ‎incidental, liquidated, consequential, or enhanced damages of any kind, ‎resulting from the use or inability to use the Website or Services, and/or the information contained ‎thereon, regardless of the form of action, and whether such damage was foreseeable, and/or regardless whether Waverley ‎had been advised of the possibility of such damages in advance. Waverley’s aggregate liability to you, or to any third party, for all claims arising from your use of the ‎ Website or Services, or the information contained thereon, is limited to $100.00. Certain laws do ‎not allow limitations on implied warranties or the exclusion or limitation of certain ‎damages. If these laws apply to you, some or all of the above disclaimers, exclusions, ‎or limitations may not apply to you, and you might have additional rights.‎
The disclaimers and limitations of liability in these terms of use are a material part of ‎these Terms. You expressly waive any statutory or other protections that ‎would ‎otherwise limit the coverage of these disclaimers to include ‎only those claims that you ‎may know or suspect to exist in your ‎favor at the time of agreeing to the release. ‎without limiting the ‎generality of the foregoing, you expressly waive California civil ‎‎code § 1542 , which says: “a general release does not extend to claims ‎which the creditor ‎does not know or suspect to exist in his or her ‎favor at the time of executing the ‎release, which if known by him or ‎her must have materially affected his or her ‎settlement with the ‎debtor.”‎
Audit Rights and Enforcement. Waverley has the right, but not the obligation, at any time and with any frequency in its discretion, to ‎audit your ‎use of the Website or Services to determine your compliance with these Terms. Waverley‎ has the right to ‎enforce these Terms, for any reason and in any ‎manner or by any means that Waverley‎, in its sole ‎discretion, deems necessary or ‎appropriate. Waverley‎ may cooperate with any legal process relating to ‎your use of ‎the Website or Services. Waverley‎ may, in its sole discretion, start, stop, or modify any ‎regulation or ‎enforcement measures at any time. Waverley’s action or inaction to ‎regulate content or conduct or to ‎enforce any potential or actual violation of these Terms ‎by any user does not waive Waverley’s ‎right to implement regulation or ‎enforcement measures with respect to any subsequent or similar ‎content, conduct, or potential ‎or actual violation of these Terms.‎
Termination.Except as otherwise may be provided in your Membership Agreement, or Club policies or bylaws, Waverley may, in its sole discretion, terminate your account, and remove and discard any of your content at any time, without notice, for any reason. We will not be liable to you or any third party for any termination of your access to the Website or Services.
Choice of Law; Venue.These Terms and all matters arising out of or relating to these Terms are governed by the ‎laws of the state of Oregon, U.S.A., without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions that ‎would result in the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction. Any legal suit, action, or ‎proceeding arising out of or relating to these Terms must be brought in the federal or state ‎courts located in Multnomah County, Oregon, and you hereby irrevocably submit to the ‎exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts for any legal suit, action, or proceeding arising out ‎of or related to these Terms.‎
Interpretation. The headings in these Terms are for ease of reference only and shall not be used to interpret ‎these Terms. These Terms are intended to be construed without regard to any presumption ‎or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the drafter.‎
Entire Agreement.The Terms, including and together with your Membership Agreement where applicable, constitute the entire agreement between you and us governing your use of the Website and Services. In the case of inconsistencies between these Terms and your Membership Agreement, the Membership Agreement will control. In the case of inconsistencies between these Terms and any information included in off-line materials (for example, promotional materials and mailers), these Terms will control.
Waiver.Our failure to exercise or enforce any provision(s) of these Terms will not constitute a waiver of such provision(s) on that or any other occasion or of any other provision.

Waverley may provide notices to you by ‎sending them to the email address you provide to us through the Website or Services. Any notice sent to you by ‎email will be deemed received when sent.

Third-Party Websites.The Website may contain links to other sites, including Social Media services. While we try to only link ‎to sites that share our high standards and respect for website use and privacy, we are not ‎responsible for the practices employed by other sites, and those other sites have not agreed to our ‎Terms and Privacy Statement. In addition, a link to a third-party website or service does not imply and does not ‎constitute our sponsorship, endorsement, approval, or responsibility for the content, or the use of such ‎third-party website or service. You should visit those websites and services for information regarding their terms of use and ‎privacy practices prior to using their website or providing personal information.‎
Severability.If any provision of these Terms is declared to be invalid, unenforceable, or void by a court of competent jurisdiction, such provision will be deemed stricken, and the Terms will be reformed to replace that provision with a valid and enforceable provision which comes as close as possible to expressing the intention of the stricken provision. The remainder of the Terms shall have the same force and effect as if such provision had never been included.
Attorney Fees.In the event that any action, suit, or legal proceeding is initiated or brought to enforce any or all of the provisions of these Terms, the prevailing party shall be entitled to such attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements as are deemed reasonable and proper by an arbitrator or court. In the event of an appeal of an initial decision of an arbitrator or court, the prevailing party shall be entitled to such attorneys’ fees, costs, and disbursements as are deemed reasonable and proper by the appellate court(s).
Assignability.You understand and agree that you may not assign any rights or delegate any obligations under these Terms without the prior written consent of Waverley. Any purported assignment or delegation in violation of this provision is null and void. Waverley may assign these Terms at its discretion, provided that the assignee agrees to comply with these Terms. These Terms, and your Membership Agreement where applicable, are binding upon and inure to the benefit of you and Waverley, and each of their respective permitted successors and assigns.
