3. The Trust & Accessing

The Not Forgotten Library Depository will organize, catalog, preserve, and provide access to the Legacies as set out in the   Not Forgotten Trust Agreement and the Archiving policy.

Not Forgotten Library Depository board of advisors will

  • Professionally archive and document the Legacy products by maintaining Legacies in multiple media formats in multiple locations or to keeping them to prevailing leading archive standards (as defined by Library of Congress)

  • Implement and update appropriate archiving and “professional grade” preservation policies, audits and standards

  • Migrate each copy of the Archives in the Long-Term Storage Vault to new formats from time to time during the Term as storage media become obsolete and in accordance with NotForgotten’s internal policies.

  • Administer the library operation and funding.

  • Maintain an up to date set of holdings records,

  • Maintain and update information on how to access the Legacy products

  • Make the records and contents public and accessible

  • Review and adopt appropriate succession plan for the Archives;

3.1 The Not Forgotten Guarantee Trust Fund

The Trust (“NotForgotten Trust” or the “Trust”) has been established to ensure the long-term survival of our archive. The NotForgotten Trust is funded with a portion of the NotForgotten fees paid by our customers when they sign up for the Services.  These funds will be invested to generate enough income to cover: (i) storage costs of the NotForgotten Archives in the Long-Term Storage Vault, (ii) the cost of migrating the physical copies of the Videos to updated formats over time, and (iii) the cost of migrating preserved GEDCOM and WorldCat records to other types of records formats in the future should GEDCOM and/or WorldCat be phased out. `

The primary purpose of the Trust is to protect the funding of the library; to provide financial support to the library and to be able to support the records and Legacies held by the Library, by investing the funds.

The NotForgotten Trust is overseen by an advisory board (the “Advisory Board”) that will be responsible for overseeing the administration of our continuing obligations.

3.2 Accessing the Legacies

After the Public Availability Date, the public may obtain copies of the Legacy in question for a small retrieval fee (not for profit – but enough to cover retrieval costs) through email address support@not-forgotten.com or directly from the Trust.

14. Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

PLEASE READ THIS SECTION CAREFULLY. IT AFFECTS YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS, INCLUDING YOUR RIGHT TO FILE A LAWSUIT IN COURT.

We work hard to keep our customers satisfied. If a dispute arises between you and Not Forgotten, our goal is to provide a cost-effective means of quickly resolving the dispute. If you have any concern or dispute about the Services, you agree to first try to resolve the dispute informally by contacting us.

You and Not Forgotten agree that these Terms affect interstate commerce and that the Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of these arbitration provisions.

 

If any dispute between us is not resolved within 30 days after contacting us, then you and Not Forgotten agree that we will resolve it through final and binding arbitration, with the following three exceptions:

You may assert your dispute, if it qualifies, in small claims court.

  • Both you and Not Forgotten may bring a suit in court in the state of New Jersey only for a claim of infringement or other misuse of intellectual property rights. In this case, we both waive any right to a jury trial.

  • If it qualifies, you may bring a claim to the attention of a relevant federal, state, or local agency that may seek relief against us on your behalf.

  • If you have a subscription and you terminate for our breach after providing us with a 30-day cure period during which we are unable to cure, we will refund any pre-paid fees on a prorated basis to you.

Arbitration Rules: Arbitration will be conducted by JAMS in accordance with the JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Procedure Rules for claims that do not exceed $250,000 and the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures for claims exceeding $250,000 in effect at the time the arbitration is initiated, excluding any rules or procedures governing or permitting class actions. The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local `court or agency, shall have exclusive authority to resolve all disputes arising out of or relating to the interpretation, applicability, enforceability, or formation of these Terms or the Privacy Statement, including but not limited to any claim that all or any part of these Terms or Privacy Statement is void or voidable, whether a claim is subject to arbitration, or the question of waiver by litigation conduct. The arbitrator shall be empowered to grant whatever relief would be available in a court under law or in equity. The arbitrator’s award shall be written and shall be binding on the parties and may be entered as a judgment in any court of competent jurisdiction. To start an arbitration, you must do the following: (a) write a Demand for Arbitration that includes a description of the claim and the amount of damages you seek to recover (you may find a copy of a Demand for Arbitration at www.jamsadr.com); (b) send three copies of the Demand for Arbitration, plus the appropriate filing fee, to JAMS, Two Embarcadero Center, Suite 1500, San Francisco, California 94111; and (c) send one copy of the Demand for Arbitration to Not Forgotten at Not Forgotten Legal Department, 153 Townsend Street, Suite 800, San Francisco, CA 94107. Arbitration may take place in the county where you reside at the time of filing. You and Not Forgotten further agree to submit to the personal jurisdiction of any federal or state court in San Francisco County, California in order to compel arbitration, to stay proceedings pending arbitration, or to confirm, modify, vacate, or enter judgment on the award entered by the arbitrator.

Fees: You will be required to pay $250 to initiate an arbitration against us. If the arbitrator finds the arbitration to be non-frivolous, Not Forgotten will pay all other fees invoiced by JAMS, including filing fees and arbitrator and hearing expenses. You are responsible for your own attorneys’ fees unless the arbitration rules and/or applicable law provide otherwise.

No Class Actions: You and Not Forgotten each agree that each party may only resolve disputes with the other on an individual basis and may not bring a claim as a plaintiff or a class member in a class, consolidated, or representative action. If any court or arbitrator determines that the class action waiver set forth in this paragraph is void or unenforceable for any reason or that an arbitration can proceed on a class basis, then the arbitration provisions set forth above shall be deemed null and void in their entirety and the parties shall be deemed to have not agreed to arbitrate disputes.

YOU AND NOT FORGOTTEN AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

Changes to This Section: Not Forgotten will provide thirty (30) days’ notice of any changes affecting the substance of this section by posting notice of modifications to the Terms on the Services, sending you a message, or otherwise notifying you when you are logged into your account. Amendments will become effective thirty (30) days after they are posted on the Services or sent to you.

Changes to this section will otherwise apply prospectively only to claims arising after the thirtieth (30th) day. If a court or arbitrator decides that this subsection on "Changes to This Section" is not enforceable or valid, then this subsection shall be severed from the section entitled “Dispute, Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver,” and the court or arbitrator shall apply the first Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section in existence after you began using the Services.

Survival: This Dispute Resolution, Arbitration and Class Action Waiver section shall survive any termination of your account or the Services.
