B. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy.  CSWE asks users of our Website to respect the intellectual property rights of others.  It is our policy to respond appropriately to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement, as set forth more fully below.  In our sole discretion, CSWE may remove content that may be infringing on another person’s intellectual property rights with or without notice to the potential infringer.  In accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable law, CSWE enforces a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. 
If we remove or disable access in response to a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected content so that they may make a counter-notification.  If you own a copyright in a work (or represent such a copyright owner) and believe that your (or the owner’s) copyright in that work has been infringed by an improper posting or distribution of it via the Website, then you may send us a written notice that must include all of the following information:
  1. A legend or subject line that says: “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”;
  2. A clear description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  3. A clear description of the material that you claim is infringing or is the subject of infringing activity, and information that will allow us to locate the material (please include a screenshot of the location of the infringing material and/or the full URL of the page(s) on the Website on which the material appears);
  4. Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
  5. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that all the information in your notice is accurate, and that you are the copyright owner (or, if you are not the copyright owner, then your statement must indicate that you are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed); and
  7. Your electronic or physical signature.
CSWE will only respond to DMCA notices that it receives by mail, email, or facsimile at the addresses below:

Each party submits to personal jurisdiction and venue in Alexandria, Virginia for any and all purposes.

B. Arbitration. Any and all disputes between you and CSWE of any nature or arising out of any transaction or relationship, including but not limited to those related to this Website or these Terms of Use, shall be resolved by arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section.  BY USING THE SITE AND AGREEING TO ARBITRATION YOU UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT YOU ARE WAIVING YOUR RIGHT TO SUE OR GO TO COURT TO ASSERT OR DEFEND YOUR RIGHTS.  You and CSWE expressly delegate to the arbitrator the authority to determine the arbitrability of any dispute, including the scope, applicability, validity, and enforceability of this arbitration provision.
You may begin an arbitration proceeding by sending a letter requesting arbitration to:

Council on Social Work Education
333 John Carlyle Street, Suite 400
Alexandria, VA 22314

You agree that the arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) pursuant to its Consumer Arbitration Rules (“AAA Rules”), as modified by this Arbitration Agreement. The AAA Rules are available on the AAA’s website www.adr.org, or by calling the AAA at (800) 778-7879. In the event the AAA is unavailable or unwilling to hear the dispute, the parties shall agree to another arbitration provider. Payment of all filing, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA’s applicable rules. CSWE will reimburse those fees for claims totaling less than $10,000. CSWE waives its right to seek attorneys’ fees and costs in arbitration. You may choose to have the arbitration conducted by telephone, based on written submissions, or in person in the county where you live or at another mutually agreed upon location. 
This Arbitration Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted, construed, and enforced in accordance with, the Federal Arbitration Act. The terms of the Arbitration Agreement shall survive the termination of this Agreement or your use of the Website.  Except as set forth above, if any portion of this Arbitration Agreement is deemed invalid or unenforceable, it will not invalidate the remaining portions of the Arbitration Agreement.

YOU AND DILLARD’S AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING.

10. Complete Agreement and Severability
Unless otherwise specified, these Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and CSWE.  If any part of these Terms is held illegal or unenforceable, the remainder of the Terms shall be unaffected and shall continue to be fully valid, binding, and enforceable.  The failure of CSWE to act with respect to a breach by you or others does not waive CSWE right to act with respect to subsequent or similar breaches.  CSWE failure to exercise or enforce any right or provision of these Terms shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. 

11. Investigations; Cooperation with Law Enforcement

CSWE reserves the right to investigate and prosecute any suspected or actual violations of these Terms. CSWE further reserves the right, without limitation, to without limitation, to: (i) investigate any suspected breaches of its Website security or its information technology or other systems or networks, (ii) investigate any suspected breaches of these Terms , (iii) use any information obtained by CSWE in accordance with its Privacy Policy in connection with reviewing law enforcement databases or complying with applicable laws and use and/or disclose any information obtained by CSWE to comply with law enforcement requests or legal requirements in accordance our Privacy Policy, (iv) involve and cooperate with law enforcement authorities in investigating any of the foregoing matters, (v) prosecute violators of these Terms, and (vi) discontinue the Website, in whole or in part, or, suspend or terminate your access to it, in whole or in part, including any user accounts or registrations, at any time, without notice, for any reason and without any obligation to you or any third-party.   Any suspension or termination will not affect your obligations to CSWE under these Terms.  Upon suspension or termination of your access to the Website, or upon notice from CSWE, all rights granted to you under these Terms will cease immediately, and you agree that you will immediately discontinue use of the Website.  The provisions of these Terms, which by their nature should survive your suspension or termination will survive, including the rights and licenses you grant to CSWE in these Terms, as well as the indemnities, releases, disclaimers, and limitations on liability and the provisions regarding jurisdiction, choice of law, no class action, and mandatory arbitration.
CSWE may disclose any information as necessary or appropriate to satisfy any law, regulation, legal process, or government request.

12. Complete Agreement; No Waiver
These Terms, and any applicable Additional Terms, reflect our complete agreement regarding the Website and supersede any prior agreements, representations, warranties, assurances or discussion related to the Website. Nothing in the preceding sentence shall limit or exclude any liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation. Except as expressly set forth in these Terms, (i) no failure or delay by you or CSWE in exercising any of rights, powers, or remedies under will operate as a waiver of that or any other right, power, or remedy, and (ii) no waiver or modification of any term of these Terms will be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver or modification is sought to be enforced.
