Of course, you are free to encourage others to access the Content and to tell them how to find it.</p> <p>In addition, our Content providers want to remind you that you must not remove, alter, interfere with, or circumvent any copyright, trademark, or other proprietary notices marked on the Content or any digital rights management mechanism, device, or other content protection or access control measure associated with the Content.

Indemnification <p>You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Comcast (including its parents, subsidiaries, and affiliates and all of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents, licensors, suppliers and any third-party information providers) against all claims, losses, expenses, damages and costs (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from any breach of the Terms by you or any individual with whom you share your Comcast Web Services account or an Activated Device.

Upon Comcast's receipt of a satisfactory notice of claimed infringement, Comcast will respond expeditiously either directly or indirectly (i) to remove the allegedly infringing work(s) from the Comcast Web Services or (ii) to disable access to the work(s). In accordance with the DMCA, it is Comcast's policy to reserve the right to terminate access to the Comcast Web Services (or any part of those services) for any user who is either found to infringe third-party copyright or other intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers, or who Comcast, in its sole discretion, believes is infringing these rights. Comcast may terminate access to the Comcast Web Services at any time with or without notice for any affected customer or user. If the affected user believes in good faith that the allegedly infringing works have been removed or blocked by mistake or misidentification, then that person may send a counter notification to Comcast. Upon Comcast's receipt of a counter notification that satisfies the requirements of DMCA, Comcast will provide a copy of the counter notification to the person who sent the original notification of claimed infringement and will follow the DMCA's procedures with respect to a received counter notification. In all events, you expressly agree that Comcast will not be a party to any disputes or lawsuits regarding alleged copyright infringement.</p> <p>Copyright owners may send Comcast a notification of claimed infringement to report alleged infringements of their works to:</p> <p>Comcast Cable Communications Management, LLC</p> <p>Attn: General Counsel/Comcast Web Services DMCA Notice</p> <p>One Comcast Center</p> <p>Philadelphia, PA 19103</p> <p>DMCA_Notice@Comcast.com</p> <p>1-888-565-4329</p> <p>Any notification of claimed infringement must be in a form that satisfies the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act. Under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly makes misrepresentations regarding alleged copyright infringement may be liable to Comcast, the alleged infringer, and the affected copyright owner for any damages incurred in connection with the removal, blocking, or replacement of allegedly infringing material.</p> <p>If a notification of claimed infringement has been filed against you, you can file a counter notification with Comcast's designated agent using the contact information shown above. All counter notifications must satisfy the requirements of Section 512(g)(3) of the U.S. Copyright Act.</p> 17. Changes to the Terms <p>Comcast reserves the right to change these Terms. When we do change them, we will make a copy of the updated Terms available to you by posting it at http://my.xfinity.com/terms/web/, in Xfinity My Account, or through other methods. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will also notify you in Xfinity My Account, by email, direct mail, or other reasonable methods that we select.</p> <p>You understand and agree that if you use any of the Comcast Web Services after the effective date of the updated Terms, Comcast will consider your use as acceptance of the updated Terms.</p> 18.

Definitions.</b> The term "Dispute" means any claim or controversy related to the Comcast Web Services, including but not limited to any and all: (1) claims for relief and theories of liability, whether based in contract, tort, fraud, negligence, statute, regulation, ordinance, or otherwise. (2) claims that arose before these Terms or any prior agreement. (3) claims that arise after the expiration or termination of these Terms. and (4) claims that are the subject of purported class action litigation. As used in this Arbitration Provision, "Comcast" means Comcast and any of its predecessors, successors, assigns, parents, subsidiaries and affiliated companies and each of their respective officers, directors, employees and agents, and “you” means you and any users or beneficiaries of your access to the Comcast Web Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Disputes relating to the scope, validity, or enforceability of this arbitration provision will not be subject to arbitration.</p> <p> <b>c. Right to Sue in Small Claims Court.</b> Notwithstanding anything in this Arbitration Provision, either you or Comcast may elect to bring an individual action in small claims court if the claim is not aggregated with the claim of any other person and if the amount in controversy is properly within the jurisdiction of the small claims court.</p> <p> <b>d. Right to Opt Out.</b> IF YOU DO NOT WISH TO ARBITRATE DISPUTES YOU MAY DECLINE TO HAVE YOUR DISPUTES WITH COMCAST ARBITRATED BY NOTIFYING COMCAST IN WRITING WITHIN 30 DAYS OF THE LATER OF YOUR FIRST ACCESS TO OR USE OF THE COMCAST WEB SERVICES, OR APRIL 5, 2013, BY VISITING WWW.COMCAST.COM/WEBARBOPTOUT, OR BY MAIL TO COMCAST 1701 JOHN F.

A single arbitrator will resolve the Dispute. Unless you and Comcast agree otherwise, any arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the area where you receive or received any of the Web Services from Comcast. or, if you reside in a location outside of the area where you receive or received any of the Web Services, then the arbitration hearing will take place at a location convenient to you in the county where you reside. The arbitrator will honor claims of privilege recognized by law and will take reasonable steps to protect customer account information and other confidential or proprietary information. The arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision that explains the arbitrator’s essential findings and conclusions.
