Welcome to Ganjingworld. Our mission is to create a "clean world" platform of knowledge and information free of corruptible and provocative content.

If you provide any Feedback to us, such Feedback is not confidential, and we may use such Feedback without restriction or compensation to you. Feedback is considered User Content under these Terms.

Your privacy is important to us. In the course of your use of the Service, we may ask you to provide us with certain personalized information about you. Our information collection and use policies with respect to the privacy of such information are set forth in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated into these Terms. You are solely responsible for the accuracy and content of such personalized information that you provide.

6. Purchase and Sale of Content and Product

You may be required to pay for access or subscription to certain Content or to purchase Product provided through the Service. By initiating a transaction with us, you represent and warrant that you are 18 years or older and have the legal right to use the payment means selected by you.

Please be advised that certain subscriptions that you purchase may be Content specific and may not grant you subscription or unrestricted access to the entirety of our Services.

We seek to accurately describe the Content and Product we offer through the Service, but do not warrant that such descriptions or specifications are complete, accurate, current, or free of error.

To the extent permitted by applicable law, your sole remedy with respect to any Content or Product you purchased that is not delivered within a reasonable period will be either a replacement of such Content or Product or a refund of the purchase price that you paid for such Content or Product, which we may determine within our reasonable discretion.

We may not provide a refund to you for the failure or delay in the delivery of a Content or Product that is associated with an internet or other service outages or failures that are caused by the actions of government authorities, other third parties, or events beyond our control.

International Orders

Users who order or purchase a Product through the Service from outside the United States are responsible for complying with their local laws and regulations. When you place an order and provide a shipping address outside of the United States, you or your designated consignee are the Importer of Record and, as such, are authorizing us to import the goods to your destination country on your behalf.

Furthermore, you agree that we may delegate the obligation to import the Product you order on your behalf to a subcontractor (e.g., a customs broker).

We will make our best effort, but are not obligated, to calculate and collect the applicable duties and taxes and any other additional fees upfront at the time of purchase, which may be indicated at checkout, or be included in the purchase price of a Product. If we do not do so, you or your designated consignee as Importer of Record are responsible for paying the applicable duties & taxes and any other applicable import fees to your local customs authorities.

Third-Party Content and Sites

GJW may provide links to other websites, software applications, and certain digital communications and content made available by third parties (collectively "Third-Party Services") for your convenience, but GJW is not responsible for the content or functionality of any third-party services. By clicking on any link to a third-party service you acknowledge and agree that we are not liable for any damages or losses that may result from your use of them.

GJW is not responsible for the quality, performance, or delivery of Third-Party Services. The availability of Third-Party Services on the Service does not imply our endorsement of, or affiliation with, such Third-Party Services or their providers.

Your engagement with Third-Party Services may be subject to the policies, terms and conditions which may be provided to you by the applicable third party. We are not responsible for any issues and disputes arising from your interactions or dealings with respect to Third-Party Services (such as issues of payment, warranties, privacy, advertisement, or delivery), which are solely between you and the provider of those Third-Party Services. You irrevocably release us from any and all claims, demands and damages (actual and consequential) of every kind and nature, known and unknown, arising out of or in connection with such disputes.

Our Service may also be integrated with, or may otherwise interact with, Third-Party personal computers, mobile handsets, tablets, wearable devices, speakers, and other devices ("Devices"). We do not guarantee that these Third-Party Devices and Services will be compatible with our Service or Content.

7. Disclaimers and Limitation of Liability

You agree that User Content posted or shared on the Service or Content is the user's sole responsibility and that we are not and will not be liable for any errors or omissions in any content. We are not responsible for the accuracy, usefulness, safety, or intellectual property rights of or relating to any User Content that users like you provide. You understand that we cannot guarantee the identity of users or the accuracy of any data that users may provide to any other users with whom you interact while using the Service.

Limitation of Liability

Except as required by applicable law, in no event will we, our officers, shareholders, employees, agents, directors, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, suppliers or licensors be liable for (i) any indirect, special, incidental, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages and (ii) any loss of use, data, business or profits, whether direct or direct, arising out of, or in connection with your use of the Service or Content, regardless of legal theory, and without regard to whether we have been warned of, or know about the possibility of such damages.

Users can revoke Gan Jing World's channel access to their YouTube account or adjust their preferences on the Google Security and Permissions page (https://security.google.com/settings/security/permissions).

9. Complaints and Dispute Resolution

Any dispute, claim or controversy between you and us arising from or in connection with these Terms shall first be settled by you and us through friendly negotiations. In the event the parties fail to reach an agreement on the dispute within sixty (60) days after delivery of the written request for friendly negotiations by one party to the other party, the dispute may be submitted to American Arbitration Association (AAA) for arbitration, which shall be conducted in accordance with AAA's arbitration rules in effect at the time of applying for arbitration. The arbitral award is final and binding upon all parties.

Reconciliation

You agree that in the event of any dispute between you and us, you will first contact us by the following contact address and make a good faith, sustained effort to resolve the dispute before resorting to arbitration:

Ganjingworld Corporation

33 Fulton St, Middletown, NY 10940

Email: [email protected]

Arbitration Agreement

After attempts to resolve disputes informally, any remaining dispute, controversy or claim relating in any way to these Terms and the Service, Content and Product will be finally resolved by binding arbitration.

This mandatory arbitration agreement applies equally to you and us. However, this arbitration agreement does not govern any claim by us for infringement of its intellectual property or access to the Service that is unauthorized or exceeds the authorization granted in these Terms.

Further, nothing in this Arbitration Agreement waives, precludes, or otherwise limits any of our rights, at any time, to bring an individual action (1) in a U.S. small claims court or (2) in a court of law, in accordance with these Terms, seeking (a) only temporary or preliminary individualized injunctive relief, pending a final ruling from the arbitrator or (b) public injunctive relief, pending a ruling on the substance of such claim from the arbitrator.

The arbitrator, and not any federal, state, or local court, will have exclusive authority to resolve any dispute relating to the interpretation, applicability, unconscionability, arbitrability, enforceability, or formation of this arbitration agreement, including any claim that all or any part of this arbitration agreement is void or voidable.

You agree that the U.S. Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section.

Procedure for Arbitration

If you wish to begin an arbitration proceeding, after following the informal dispute resolution procedure, you must send a letter requesting arbitration and describing your claim to:

Ganjingworld Corporation

33 Fulton St, Middletown, NY 10940

Email: [email protected]

The arbitration will be administered by the AAA under its rules including, if you are an individual, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes.

If you are not an individual or have used the Services on behalf of an entity, the AAA's Supplementary Procedures for Consumer-Related Disputes will not be used. The AAA's rules are available at www.adr.org or by calling 1-800-778-7879.

Payment of all filings, administration and arbitrator fees will be governed by the AAA's rules. If you are an individual and have not accessed or used the Services on behalf of an entity, we will reimburse those fees for claims where the amount in dispute is less than $10,000 unless the arbitrator determines that your claims are frivolous.

Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator shall issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator's ruling on the merits.

Time for Commencing Claim

Any claim arising from or in connection to these Terms must be commenced within one (1) year after the date the party asserting the claim first knows or ought to have known of the facts giving rise to the claim. There shall be no right to any remedy for any claim not commenced within that time period.

Class and Representative Action Waiver

Any claim must be brought in the respective party's individual capacity and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class, collective, representative, multiple plaintiffs, or similar proceeding ("Class Action"). You expressly waive any ability to maintain any Class Action in any forum.

In the context of arbitration, the arbitrator will not have the authority to combine or aggregate similar claims or conduct any Class Action nor make an award to any person or entity who is not a party to the arbitration. The arbitrator may award declaratory or injunctive relief only in favour of the individual party seeking relief and only to the extent necessary to provide relief warranted by that party's individual claim.

If this Class Action waiver is found to be unenforceable, then the entirety of the Arbitration Agreement, if otherwise effective, will be null and void.

If, for any reason, a claim proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, you and we each waive any right to a jury trial.

Claims of Copyright Infringement

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

If you believe in good faith that certain Content infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that we remove or disable access to the Content. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") permits you to send us a counter-notice.

If a counter-notice is received by our copyright agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party, informing that person that we may replace or restore the Content or cease disabling it. Unless the original complaining party files an action seeking a court order against the provider or user of the impugned Content, the impugned Content may be restored, in ten (10) business days or more after our receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. See https://www.copyright.gov for details. Please send notices and counter-notices to:

Ganjingworld Corporation

33 Fulton St, Middletown, NY 10940

Email: [email protected]

In submitting a notice or counter-notice, you understand that you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages and attorney's fees, if you knowingly misrepresent that a Content is infringing.

10. About This Agreement

Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms are governed by and shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, United States of America, without regard to New York's choice or conflicts of law principles.

Further, you and Ganjingworld agree to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the State of New York to resolve any dispute, claim, or controversy that arises from or relates to these Terms or the Service that is not subject to mandatory arbitration under the Arbitration section established above, and waive any jurisdictional, venue or inconvenient forum objections to such courts.
