Privacy Policy

Your use of the Site, and all comments, feedback, information or materials that You submit through or in association with the Site, are subject to our Privacy Policy.

Patriot Act

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, federal law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and record information that identifies each person who opens an account. Thus, when you open an account, we will ask for your name, address, date of birth and other information that will allow us to identify you.


Federal E-Sign Act Disclosure and Consent

Under the federal E-Sign Act and related state laws, with your consent, we can deliver required information and disclosuresto You electronically and can use electronic records and electronic signatures in connection with your transactions with us. Therefore, when an Affiliate completes our electronic form and clicks the “I Agree,” or “Submit” (or such similar button as may be used by dot818™ to accept its Agreement(s)), You are agreeing to submit a legally-binding e-signature and thus agree to be bound by the legal Agreement. By doing so, You acknowledge that your electronic submissions of information constitute your understanding of and intent to be bound by this Agreement, and You hereby waive your rights under any statutes, regulations, rules, laws, or ordinances in any jurisdiction that may require an original signature or delivery of non-electronic records.

If You do not agree to receive required information and disclosures electronically, or do not agree to use electronic signatures in connection with your transactions with us, You should not agree to the terms of this Agreement. If You do not consent to receiving the required information and disclosures electronically, or do not consent to the use of electronic signatures in connection with your transactions with us, we will not be able to proceed with the acceptance and processing of your transaction.


Legal Warning

Any attempt by any individual, whether or not a dot818™ customer, to damage, destroy, tamper with, vandalize and/or otherwise interfere with the operation of the Site, is a violation of criminal and civil law and dot818™ will diligently pursue any and all remedies in this regard against any offending individual or entity to the fullest extent permissible by law and in equity.


Miscellaneous

The Agreement shall be treated as though it were executed and performed in the State of California and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California (without regard to conflict of law principles). Should a dispute arise concerning the terms or conditions of the Agreement, or the breach of same by any Party hereto, the Parties agree to submit their dispute for resolution by arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California, in accordance with the then current Commercial Arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association. Any award rendered shall be final and conclusive to the Parties and a judgment thereon may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall be construed to preclude any Party from seeking injunctive relief in order to protect its rights pending arbitration. To the extent permitted by law, You agree that You will not bring, join or participate in any class action lawsuit as to any claim, dispute or controversy that You may have against dot818™ and its employees, officers, directors, members, representatives and assigns. You agree to the entry of injunctive relief to stop such a lawsuit or to remove You as a participant in the suit. You agree to pay the attorney’s fees and court costs that dot818™ incurs in seeking such relief. The Agreement does not constitute a waiver of any of your rights and remedies to pursue a claim individually and not as a class action in binding arbitration as provided above. This provision preventing You from bringing, joining or participating in class action lawsuits is an independent agreement. Should any part of the Agreement be held invalid or unenforceable, that portion shall be construed consistent with applicable law and the remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect. The Agreement is personal between You and dot818™ and governs your use of the Site, superseding any and all prior and/or contemporaneous agreements between you and dot818™. To the extent that anything in or associated with the Site and/or any dot818™ offering is in conflict or inconsistent with the Agreement, the Agreement shall take precedence; provided, however, that where there is a conflict between the Agreement and any Network Agreement, the applicable Network Agreement shall take precedence on all matters. Our failure to enforce any provision of the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision nor of the right to enforce such provision. The parties do not intend that any agency or partnership relationship be created through operation of the Agreement.
