Notification of Copyright Infringement
To submit a complete and qualified notice:
If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please send the following information to our email address:
- Identify the specific copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon.
- Identify the web page URL(s) containing the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, if any, and, if possible, the contact information for the person you believe responsible for the infringing act in connection with that work. Describe the copyrighted work on the page(s) you believe infringes upon the work identified in item (1) above, including whether the copyrighted work is an image (and describe it in detail) or written work (including the text of the copyrighted work).
- Include the statements:
- “I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted work described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the owner of the intellectual property rights therein, its agent or the law.”
- “The information in this notice is accurate.”
- “I state under penalty of perjury that I am the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
- Provide your mailing address, telephone number and email address. If you are submitting a notice on behalf of an entity, provide the entity’s name along with your job title, job position, or role with the entity.
- Provide the full legal name and physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
Please note that we may reproduce any legal notice we receive to send to a third party for publication and annotation, and we may post your notice in place of any removed material.
Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys fees).
Filing a Counter Notice
If you have received a notification that copyrighted work has been removed for a copyright complaint, it means a party claiming to be the copyrighted work owner asked us to remove it. If you believe that the removal of the material is a result of a mistake or misidentification, you can file a counter-notice.
Please send the following information to our designated copyright agent:
- Identification of the copyrighted work taken down.
- The web page URL of the copyrighted work before it was taken down.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the copyrighted work was removed in error.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which eVisa Asia’s offices may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original complaint.
- Provide your mailing address, telephone number, and email address. If you are filing a counter notice on behalf of an entity, provide the entity’s name along with your job title, job position, or role with the entity.
- Provide your full legal name and physical or electronic signature.
Note: There are legal and financial consequences for filing fraudulent or bad faith counter notices. Before submitting a counter notice, make sure you have a good faith belief that we removed the copyrighted work in error, and that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.
We reserve the right to communicate with you via email or other means.
Note that each owner of intellectual property is responsible for protecting their rights and taking any legal or other action they determine to be appropriate to do so, and eVisa Asia does not accept any obligation to take any particular action to enforce or protect any party’s intellectual property rights on their behalf.
Entire Agreement
This Agreement and any other agreements eVisa Asia may post on the Service or that you and eVisa Asia may execute from to time constitute the entire agreement between eVisa Asia and you in connection with your use of the Service and supersede any prior agreements between eVisa Asia and you regarding use of the Service, including prior versions of this Agreement.
Binding Arbitration / Class Waiver
YOU AND WE EXPRESSLY AGREE THAT ANY LEGAL CLAIM, DISPUTE, OR OTHER CONTROVERSY BETWEEN YOU AND US ARISING OUT OF OR OTHERWISE RELATING IN ANY WAY TO eVisa Asia, THE SERVICE, CONTENT, OR ANY OTHER GOODS, SERVICES OR ADVERTISING BY eVisa Asia, INCLUDING ANY PRODUCTS SOLD THROUGH THIRD PARTY SELLERS OR PAYMENTS MADE TO THIRD PARTY PAYMENT PROCESSORS, INCLUDING CONTROVERSIES RELATING TO THE APPLICABILITY, ENFORCEABILITY OR VALIDITY OF ANY PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT (COLLECTIVELY “DISPUTES”), SHALL BE RESOLVED IN CONFIDENTIAL BINDING ARBITRATION CONDUCTED BEFORE ONE COMMERCIAL ARBITRATOR FROM THE AMERICAN ARBITRATION ASSOCIATION (“AAA”), RATHER THAN IN A COURT, AS DESCRIBED HEREIN. THE ARBITRATION WILL BE GOVERNED BY THE AAA’S COMMERCIAL ARBITRATION RULES AND, IF THE ARBITRATOR DEEMS THEM APPLICABLE, THE SUPPLEMENTARY PROCEDURES FOR CONSUMER RELATED DISPUTES (COLLECTIVELY “RULES AND PROCEDURES”). YOU ACKNOWLEDGE THAT YOU ARE VOLUNTARILY AND KNOWINGLY FORFEITING YOUR RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY AND TO OTHERWISE PROCEED IN A LAWSUIT IN STATE OR FEDERAL COURT, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED HEREIN.
Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, and court review of an arbitration award is extremely limited. However, an arbitrator can award the same damages and relief on an individual basis that a court can award to an individual.
Payment of arbitration costs will be governed by the AAA’s fee schedule, unless you are able to show that your portion will be prohibitive as compared to litigation costs, in which case eVisa Asia will pay as much of your arbitration costs as the arbitrator deems necessary to prevent the arbitration from being cost-prohibitive as compared to litigation costs. eVisa Asia also reserves the right in its sole and exclusive discretion to assume responsibility for all arbitration costs imposed by the AAA. You and we each agrees to pay our own respective attorneys’ fees and expenses unless there is a governing statutory provision that requires the prevailing party to be paid attorneys’ fees and expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, eVisa Asia will not seek to recover attorneys’ fees or costs incurred in arbitration from you if you are a consumer. The arbitration shall be conducted in Newark, Delaware, except that, in the event Newark is not within 100 miles of your residence, the arbitration may be conducted within 100 miles of your residence, unless the parties agree otherwise in writing. The arbitrator’s award shall be final and binding on all parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. For more information on AAA, its Rules and Procedures, and how to file an arbitration claim, you may call AAA at 800-778-7879 or visit the AAA website at https://www.adr.org.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, to the extent the Dispute arises from: (a) a violation of either party’s intellectual property rights in any manner; and/or (b) any claim related to, or arising from, allegations of theft, piracy, unauthorized use or a violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act; then you and eVisa Asia agree that a party may seek injunctive remedies (or an equivalent type of urgent legal relief) in a state or federal court in Newark, Delaware, and both parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of such courts in connection with such proceedings. In addition to the foregoing, either party may assert an individual action in small claims court for Disputes that are within the scope of such court’s jurisdiction in lieu of arbitration as long as such action remains in such court and advances only on an individual (non-class, non-representative) basis.
ALL DISPUTES SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT MUST BE ARBITRATED ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT ON A CLASS, COLLECTIVE OR REPRESENTATIVE BASIS. NO PARTY MAY BRING ANY CLAIM SUBJECT TO ARBITRATION PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT AS A PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL, IN A REPRESENTATIVE CAPACITY, OR AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS PROCEEDING. THE CLAIMS OF MORE THAN ONE CUSTOMER OR USER CANNOT BE JOINED OR CONSOLIDATED WITH THOSE OF ANY OTHER CUSTOMER OR USER. NO ARBITRATION SHALL BE CONSOLIDATED OR JOINED WITH ANY OTHER ARBITRATION. THE ARBITRATOR MAY AWARD RELIEF (INCLUDING MONETARY, INJUNCTIVE, AND DECLARATORY RELIEF) ONLY IN FAVOR OF THE INDIVIDUAL PARTY SEEKING RELIEF AND ONLY TO THE EXTENT NECESSARY TO PROVIDE RELIEF NECESSITATED BY THAT PARTY’S INDIVIDUAL CLAIM(S).
If a decision is issued stating that applicable law precludes enforcement of any of this paragraph’s limitations as to a particular claim or request for relief, then such claim or request for relief (and only that claim or request for relief) shall be severed from the arbitration and may be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Newark, Delaware, subject to the parties’ respective rights to appeal the decision. All other claims or requests for relief shall be arbitrated. The parties agree that any claims or requests for relief that are severed from an arbitration may not proceed in litigation and shall be stayed until all claims between the parties remaining in arbitration are finally resolved. The parties agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in Delaware for purposes of resolving any claims or requests for relief severed from arbitration pursuant to this paragraph.
You can opt out of the provisions of this Agreement that require the arbitration of Disputes by providing us a written opt-out notice within 30 days of the “Effective Date” at the top of this Agreement. To opt out, you must send your name, residence address, and email address together with a clear statement that you want to opt out of the requirement to arbitrate disputes with the applicable party to our email address.
Before you commence arbitration of a Dispute, you must provide us with a written Notice of Dispute that includes your name, residence address, username (if applicable) and email address associated with your User account (if applicable), a detailed description of the Dispute, and the relief you seek. Before we commence arbitration of a Dispute against you, we will provide a written Notice of Dispute to you with a detailed description of the Dispute and the relief we seek. Any Notice of Dispute you send to us should be sent via email with a subject matter of “Dispute Notice”. If we are unable to resolve a Dispute within 30 days after the applicable Notice of Dispute is received, either party may commence arbitration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if we make any future material modification to any provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, such changes will not apply to any Dispute between you and us for which either party had previously provided a written Notice of Dispute to the other in accordance with this paragraph. Further, if we make any future material changes to the provisions of this Agreement that govern the arbitration or resolution of Disputes, you may reject such changes by sending a written notice of your rejection decision to us via email. Arbitration Opt-Out within 30 days of the effective date of such modifications.
Claims Are Time-Barred
You agree that regardless of any statute or law to the contrary or the applicable dispute resolution process, any claim or cause of action you may have arising out of or related to the Service, any products purchased, or any Content must be formally initiated within one (1) year after such claim or cause of action arose or you hereby agree to be forever barred from bringing such claim. The provisions of this section, entitled “Claims Are Time-Barred” shall be deemed to constitute a separate written legally binding agreement by and between you and us.
Governing Law; Venue; Severability of Provisions
The validity, interpretation, construction, and performance of this Agreement will be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act and the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to any conflicts of law provisions.
All parts of this Agreement apply to the maximum extent permitted by law. Our failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of such right. We both agree that if any provision in this Agreement as written is unenforceable, then such provision will be reformed or replaced with a provision that most closely match the intent of the unenforceable part to the extent permitted by law. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, the invalidity of part of this Agreement will not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. The section headings are for convenience and do not have any force or effect.

Neither this Agreement, nor any Content, materials or features of the Service create any partnership, joint venture, employment, or other agency relationship between you and eVisa Asia. You may not enter into any contract on our behalf or bind us in any way.
