 DISPUTES 

   

 Between Users 

   

 If there is a dispute between users of the Website, or between users and
any third party, you understand and agree that Company is under no obligation
to become involved. In the event that you have a dispute with one or more other
users, you hereby release Company, its officers, employees, agents and
successors in rights from claims, demands and damages (actual and
consequential) of every kind or nature, known or unknown, suspected and
unsuspected, disclosed and undisclosed, arising out of or in any way related to
such disputes and/or the Company Services.   

   

 With Company 

   

 A. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement and all aspects of the Website and Company Services shall
be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State
of California, without regard to conflict of law provisions. With respect to
any disputes or claims not subject to informal dispute resolution or
arbitration (as set forth below), you agree not to commence or prosecute any
action in connection therewith other than in the state and federal courts
located in Monterey County, State of California, and you hereby consent to, and
waive all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens with respect to, venue and jurisdiction in such
state and federal courts. Application of the United Nations Convention on
Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is excluded from this Agreement.
Additionally, application of the Uniform Computer Information Transaction Act
(UCITA) is excluded from this Agreement. In no event shall any claim,
action or proceeding by you related in any way to the Website or Company
Services be instituted more than two (2) years after the cause of action arose. 

   

 B. Informal Resolution. To expedite resolution and control the cost of any dispute, controversy
or claim related to this Agreement ("Dispute"), you and Company agree
to first attempt to negotiate any Dispute (except those Disputes expressly provided
below) informally for at least thirty (30) days before initiating any
arbitration or court proceeding. Such informal negotiations commence upon
written notice from one person to the other. 

   

 C. Binding Arbitration. If you and Company are unable to resolve a Dispute through informal
negotiations, either you or Company may elect to have the Dispute (except those
Disputes expressly excluded below) finally and exclusively resolved by binding
arbitration. Any election to arbitrate by one party shall be final and binding
on the other. YOU UNDERSTAND THAT ABSENT THIS PROVISION, YOU WOULD HAVE THE
RIGHT TO SUE IN COURT AND HAVE A JURY TRIAL. The arbitration shall be commenced
and conducted under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association ("AAA") and, where appropriate, the AAA’s
Supplementary Procedures for Consumer Related Disputes ("AAA Consumer
Rules"), both of which are available at the AAA website www.adr.org. The
determination of whether a Dispute is subject to arbitration shall be governed
by the Federal Arbitration Act and determined by a court rather than an
arbitrator. Your arbitration fees and your share of arbitrator compensation
shall be governed by the AAA Consumer Rules and, where appropriate, limited by
the AAA Consumer Rules. If such costs are determined by the arbitrator to be
excessive, Company will pay all arbitration fees and expenses. The arbitration
may be conducted in person, through the submission of documents, by phone or
online. The arbitrator will make a decision in writing, but
need not provide a statement of reasons unless requested by a party. The
arbitrator must follow applicable law, and any award may be challenged if the
arbitrator fails to do so. Except where otherwise required by the applicable
AAA rules or applicable law, the arbitration will take place in Monterey
County, State of California. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement,
you and Company may litigate in court to compel arbitration, stay proceedings
pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate or enter judgment on the
award entered by the arbitrator. 

   

 D. Restrictions. You and Company agree that any arbitration shall be limited to the
Dispute between Company and you individually. To the full extent permitted by
law, (1) no arbitration shall be joined with any other; (2) there is no right
or authority for any Dispute to be arbitrated on a class-action basis or to
utilize class action procedures; and (3) there is no right or authority for any
Dispute to be brought in a purported representative capacity on behalf of the
general public or any other persons. 

   

 E. Exceptions to Informal Negotiations and
Arbitration. You and Company agree that the following
Disputes are not subject to the above provisions concerning informal
negotiations and binding arbitration: (1) any Disputes seeking to enforce or
protect, or concerning the validity of any of your or Company’s intellectual
property rights; (2) any Dispute related to, or arising from, allegations of
theft, piracy, invasion of privacy or unauthorized use; and (3) any claim for
injunctive relief. If this Section is found to be illegal or unenforceable then
neither you nor Company will elect to arbitrate any Dispute falling within that
portion of this Section found to be illegal or unenforceable and such Dispute
shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction within the courts listed
for jurisdiction above, and you and Company agree to submit to the personal
jurisdiction of that court.

privacy of its users (“user” or “you”) that use our website located at
choralartistsofcarmel.org, including other media forms, media channels, mobile
website or mobile application related or connected thereto (collectively, the

to inform you, as a user of the Website, about the types of information that
Company may gather about or collect from you in connection with your use of the
Website. It also is intended to explain the conditions under which Company uses
and discloses that information, and your rights in relation to that
information. Changes to this Privacy Policy are discussed at the end of this
document. Each time you use the Website, however, the current version of this
Privacy Policy will apply. Accordingly, each time you use the Website you
should check the date of this Privacy Policy (which appears at the beginning of
this document) and review any changes since the last time you used the Website. 

   

 The Website is hosted in the United States of
America and is subject to U.S. state and federal law. If you are accessing our
Website from other jurisdictions, please be advised that you are transferring
your personal information to us in the United States, and by using our Website,

 GATHERING, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF
NON-PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION 

   

 Users of the Website Generally 

   

 “Non-Personally-Identifying Information” is
information that, without the aid of additional information, cannot be directly
associated with a specific person. “Personally-Identifying Information,” by
contrast, is information such as a name or email address that, without more,
can be directly associated with a specific person. Like most website operators,
Company gathers from users of the Website Non-Personally-Identifying
Information of the sort that Web browsers, depending on their settings, may
make available. That information includes the user’s Internet Protocol (IP)
address, operating system, browser type and the locations of the websites the user
views right before arriving at, while navigating and immediately after leaving
the Website. Although such information is not Personally-Identifying
Information, it may be possible for Company to determine from an IP address a
user’s Internet service provider and the geographic location of the visitor’s
point of connectivity as well as other statistical usage data. Company analyzes Non-Personally-Identifying
Information gathered from users of the Website to help Company better
understand how the Website is being used. By identifying patterns and trends in
usage, Company is able to better design the Website to improve users’
experiences, both in terms of content and ease of use. From time to time,
Company may also release the Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered
from Website users in the aggregate, such as by publishing a report on trends
in the usage of the Website. 

   

 Web Cookies 

   

 A “Web Cookie” is a string of information which
assigns you a unique identification that a website stores on a user’s computer,
and that the user’s browser provides to the website each time the user submits
a query to the website. We use cookies on the Website to keep track of services
you have used, to record registration information regarding your login name and
password, to record your user preferences, to keep you logged into the Website
and to facilitate purchase procedures. Company also uses Web Cookies to track
the pages that users visit during each Website session, both to help Company
improve users’ experiences and to help Company understand how the Website is
being used. As with other Non-Personally-Identifying Information gathered from
users of the Website, Company analyzes and discloses in aggregated form information
gathered using Web Cookies, so as to help Company, its partners and others
better understand how the Website is being used. COMPANY USERS WHO DO NOT WISH
TO HAVE WEB COOKIES PLACED ON THEIR COMPUTERS SHOULD SET THEIR BROWSERS TO
REFUSE WEB COOKIES BEFORE ACCESSING THE WEBSITE, WITH THE UNDERSTANDING THAT
CERTAIN FEATURES OF THE WEBSITE MAY NOT FUNCTION PROPERLY WITHOUT THE AID OF
WEB COOKIES. WEBSITE USERS WHO REFUSE WEB COOKIES ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR
ANY RESULTING LOSS OF FUNCTIONALITY.  

   

 Web Beacons 

   

 A “Web Beacon” is an object that is embedded in
a web page or email that is usually invisible to the user and allows website
operators to check whether a user has viewed a particular web page or an email.
Company may use Web Beacons on the Website and in emails to count users who
have visited particular pages, viewed emails and to deliver co-branded
services. Web Beacons are not used to access users’ Personally-Identifying
Information. They are a technique Company may use to compile aggregated
statistics about Website usage. Web Beacons collect only a limited set of
information, including a Web Cookie number, time and date of a page or email
view and a description of the page or email on which the Web Beacon resides.
You may not decline Web Beacons. However, they can be rendered ineffective by
declining all Web Cookies or modifying your browser setting to notify you each
time a Web Cookie is tendered, permitting you to accept or decline Web Cookies
on an individual basis.

parties to allow tracking technology on the Website, which will enable them to
collect data about how you interact with the Website and our services over
time. This information may be used to, among other things, analyze and track
data, determine the popularity of certain content and better understand online
activity. 

   

 Aggregated and
Non-Personally-Identifying Information 

   

 We may share aggregated and
Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect under any of the above circumstances.
We may also share it with third parties and our affiliate companies to develop
and deliver targeted advertising on the Website and on websites of third
parties. We may combine Non-Personally Identifying Information we collect with
additional Non-Personally Identifying Information collected from other sources.
We also may share aggregated information with third parties, including
advisors, advertisers and investors, for the purpose of conducting general
business analysis. For example, we may tell our advertisers the number of
visitors to the Website and the most popular features or services accessed.
This information does not contain any Personally-Identifying Information and
may be used to develop website content and services that we hope you and other
users will find of interest and to target content and advertising.  

   

 SOCIAL MEDIA  

   

 We may use hyperlinks on the Website which will redirect you
to a social network if you click on the respective link. However, when you
click on a social plug-in, such as Facebook’s “Like” button, Twitter’s “tweet”
button or the Google+, that particular social network’s plugin will be
activated and your browser will directly connect to that provider’s servers. If
you do not use these buttons, none of your data will be sent to the respective
social network’s plugin provider. So for example, when you click on the
Facebook’s “Like” button on the Website, Facebook will receive your IP address,
the browser version and screen resolution, and the operating system of the device
you have used to access the Website. Settings regarding privacy protection can
be found on the websites of these social networks and are not within our
control. 

   

 COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF
PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION  

   

 Website Registration 

   

 As defined above, Personally-Identifying
Information is information that can be directly associated with a specific
person. Company may collect a range of Personally-Identifying Information from
and about Website users. Much of the Personally-Identifying Information
collected by Company about users is information provided by users themselves
when (1) registering for our service, (2) logging in with social network
credentials, (3) participating in polls, contests, surveys or other features of
our service, or responding to offers or advertisements, (4) communicating with
us, (5) creating a public profile or (6) signing up to receive newsletters.
That information may include each user’s name, address, email address and
telephone number, and, if you transact business with us, financial information
such as your payment method (valid credit card number, type, expiration date or
other financial information). We also may request information about your
interests and activities, your gender, age, date of birth, username, hometown
and other demographic or relevant information as determined by Company from
time to time. Users of the Website are under no obligation to provide Company
with Personally-Identifying Information of any kind, with the caveat that a
user’s refusal to do so may prevent the user from using certain Website
features. 

   

 BY REGISTERING WITH OR USING THE WEBSITE, YOU CONSENT
TO THE USE AND DISCLOSURE OF YOUR PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING INFORMATION AS
DESCRIBED IN THIS “COLLECTION, USE AND DISCLOSURE OF PERSONALLY-IDENTIFYING
INFORMATION” SECTION. 

   

 Company Communications 

   

 We may occasionally use your name and email
address to send you notifications regarding new services offered by the Website
that we think you may find valuable. We may also send you service-related
announcements from time to time through the general operation of the service.
Generally, you may opt out of such emails at the time of registration or
through your account settings, though we reserve the right to send you notices
about your account, such as service announcements and administrative messages,
even if you opt out of all voluntary email notifications. 

   

 Company Disclosures 

   

 Company will disclose
Personally-Identifying Information under the following circumstances:  

   

 •
  By Law or to Protect Rights. When we believe disclosure is appropriate, we may disclose

Company, our users, our employees or others; to comply with applicable law or
cooperate with law enforcement; to enforce our Terms of Use or other agreements
or policies, in response to a subpoena or similar investigative demand, a court
order or a request for cooperation from a law enforcement or other government
agency; to establish or exercise our legal rights; to defend against legal
claims; or as otherwise required by law. In such cases, we may raise or waive
any legal objection or right available to us. 

   

 •

who process credit card payments. These service providers may have access to
personal information needed to perform their functions but are not permitted to
share or use such information for any other purpose. 

   

 •
 Business Transfers; Bankruptcy. Company reserves the right to transfer all Personally-Identifying
Information in its possession to a successor organization in the event of a
merger, acquisition, bankruptcy or other sale of all or a portion of Company’s
assets. Other than to the extent ordered by a bankruptcy or other court, the
use and disclosure of all transferred Personally-Identifying Information will
be subject to this Privacy Policy, or to a new privacy policy if you are given notice
of that new privacy policy and are given an opportunity to affirmatively
opt-out of it. Personally-Identifying Information submitted or collected after
a transfer, however, may be subject to a new privacy policy adopted by the
successor organization.  

   

 Changing Personally-Identifying Information;
Account Termination  

   

 You may at any time review or change
your Personally-Identifying Information by going to your account settings (if

retain in our files some Personally-Identifying Information to prevent fraud,

Information will be completely removed from our databases in response to your requests.
Additionally, we keep a history of changed
information to investigate suspected fraud with your account.

 COLLECTION AND USE OF INFORMATION BY THIRD
PARTIES GENERALLY 

   

 Company contractually prohibits its contractors,
affiliates, vendors and suppliers from disclosing Personally-Identifying
Information received from Company, other than in accordance with this Privacy
Policy. However, third parties are under no obligation to comply with this
Privacy Policy with respect to Personally-Identifying Information that users
provide directly to those third parties, or that those third parties collect
for themselves. These third parties include advertisers, providers of games,
utilities, widgets and a variety of other third-party applications accessible
through the Website. Company neither owns nor controls the third-party websites
and applications accessible through the Website. Thus, this Privacy Policy does
not apply to information provided to or gathered by the third parties that
operate them. Before visiting a third party, or using a third-party
application, whether by means of a link on the Website, directly through the
Website or otherwise, and before providing any Personally-Identifying
Information to any such third party, users should inform themselves of the
privacy policies and practices (if any) of the third party responsible for that
website or application, and should take those steps necessary to, in those
users’ discretion, protect their privacy. 

   

 SECURITY 

   

 We take the security of your
Personally-Identifying Information seriously and use reasonable electronic,
personnel and physical measures to protect it from loss, theft, alteration or
misuse.  However, please be advised that even the best security measures
cannot fully eliminate all risks. We cannot guarantee that only authorized
persons will view your information. We are not responsible for third-party
circumvention of any privacy settings or security measures.  

   

 We are dedicated to protect all information on
the Website as is necessary. However, you are responsible for maintaining the
confidentiality of your Personally-Identifying Information by keeping your
password confidential. You should change your password immediately if you
believe someone has gained unauthorized access to it or your account. If you
lose control of your account, you should notify us immediately. 

   

   

 PRIVACY POLICY CHANGES 

   

 Company may, in its sole discretion,
change this Privacy Policy from time to time. Any and all changes to Company’s
Privacy Policy will be reflected on this page and the date new versions are
posted will be stated at the top of this Privacy Policy. Unless stated
otherwise, our current Privacy Policy applies to all information that we have
about you and your account. Users should regularly check this page for any
changes to this Privacy Policy. Company will always post new versions of the
Privacy Policy on the Website. However, Company may, as determined in its
discretion, decide to notify users of changes made to this Privacy Policy via
email or otherwise. Accordingly, it is important that users always maintain and
update their contact information. 

   

 CHILDREN 

   

 The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act
("COPPA") protects the online privacy of children under 13 years of
age. We do not knowingly collect or maintain Personally-Identifying Information
from anyone under the age of 13, unless or except as permitted by law. Any
person who provides Personally-Identifying Information through the Website
represents to us that he or she is 13 years of age or older. If we learn that
Personally-Identifying Information has been collected from a user under 13
years of age on or through the Website, then we will take the appropriate steps
to cause this information to be deleted. If you are the parent or legal
guardian of a child under 13 who has become a member of the Website or has
otherwise transferred Personally-Identifying Information to the Website, please
contact Company using our contact information below to have that child's
account terminated and information deleted. 

   

 CALIFORNIA PRIVACY RIGHTS 

   

 California Civil Code Section 1798.83, also
known as the "Shine The Light" law, permits our users who are California
residents to request and obtain from us, once a year and free of charge,
information about the Personally-Identifying Information (if any) we disclosed
to third parties for direct marketing purposes in the preceding calendar year.
If applicable, this information would include a list of the categories of the
Personally-Identifying Information that was shared and the names and addresses
of all third parties with which we shared Personally-Identifying Information in
the immediately preceding calendar year. If you are a California resident and
would like to make such a request, please submit your request in writing to our
privacy officer as listed below.  

   

 DO-NOT-TRACK POLICY 

   

 Most web browsers and some mobile
operating systems include a Do-Not-Track (“DNT”) feature or setting you can
activate to signal your privacy preference not to have data about your online
browsing activities monitored and collected. Because there is not yet a common
understanding of how to interpret the DNT signal, the Website currently does
not respond to DNT browser signals or mechanisms.
