It is the policy of Kimberly-Clark to comply with provisions of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) which provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on this Site infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed;
2. A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
3. A description of where the material that is claimed to be infringing is located on the Site with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
4. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

6. Your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.

Upon receipt of notices complying with the DMCA, Kimberly-Clark will act to remove or disable access to any material found to be infringing or found to be the subject of infringing activity and will act to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is found to be infringing. We may, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, prohibit users who may be repeat infringers from accessing the Site or making submissions.
Any notification that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident.

XIV. Jurisdictional Issues

The Sites are owned, controlled, and/or operated by K-C in the United States, and are designed to comply with the laws and regulations of the United States. The Sites are intended for access and use by United States residents only, and K-C makes no representation that materials on the Sites are appropriate or available for use outside of the United States. Those who choose to access the Sites from outside the United States do so on their own initiative and are responsible for compliance with any applicable local laws, rules, and regulations. All information available on the Site may be subject to U.S. export control laws and may also be subject to the laws of the country where you reside.

XV. General

In the event of your breach or threatened breach of any of the provisions of these Terms or applicable Additional Terms, you hereby consent and agree that K-C will be entitled to, in addition to other available remedies, a temporary or permanent injunction or other equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach from a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of showing any actual damages or that money damages would not afford an adequate remedy, and without the necessity of posting any bond or other security. The aforementioned equitable relief will be in addition to, not in lieu of, legal remedies, monetary damages, or other available forms of relief.

XVI. Governing Law; Dispute Resolution and Binding Arbitration

Any controversy or claim arising out of or relating to any Sites, these Terms, any applicable Additional Terms, and the Privacy Statement, or breach thereof, including disputes with respect to whether the subject matter of any controversy or claim is within the scope of these Terms, will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Wisconsin, excluding its choice of law rules and will be settled by binding arbitration in Neenah, Wisconsin under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) and administered by the AAA. The parties explicitly disclaim any applicability of the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods to these Terms. All arbitration proceedings will be conducted in English. Such arbitration will have one (1) neutral arbitrator if the amount in controversy is less than one million dollars ($1,000,000) or otherwise before a panel of three (3) neutral arbitrators. Each of the arbitrators must be i) a lawyer licensed to practice law in the United States with a minimum of fifteen (15) years of legal practice or senior level business experience or a retired judge with a minimum of five (5) years of service on the bench, ii) an individual with at least five (5) years of experience as an arbitrator, and iii) on the roster of neutrals of the AAA or similar nationally recognized ADR organization. If the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted before a panel of three neutral arbitrators, the panel shall be selected using the following process: Within fifteen (15) days after the commencement of arbitration, each party shall select one person meeting the specified qualifications to act as neutral arbitrator, and the two thus selected shall select a third neutral arbitrator meeting the specified qualifications within fifteen (15) days of their appointment. The third neutral arbitrator shall act as the chair of the arbitration panel. If the arbitrators selected by the parties are unable to or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be selected by the American Arbitration Association.

Notwithstanding this arbitration provision, K-C may seek emergency, temporary, or preliminary injunctive relief from a competent court of law or equity pending the final ruling of the arbitrator(s), without any requirement to post bond, to prevent irreparable harm arising from any unlawful acts by you. NEITHER PARTY WILL PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION OR CLASS-WIDE ARBITRATION FOR ANY CLAIMS RELATED TO ANY SITES, THESE TERMS, ANY ADDITIONAL TERMS OR THE PRIVACY STATEMENT. ANY DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEEDING WILL BE CONDUCTED ONLY ON AN INDIVIDUAL BASIS AND NOT IN A CLASS, CONSOLIDATED OR REPRESENTATIVE ACTION.

IF FOR ANY REASON AN ACTION, SUIT, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING PROCEEDS IN COURT RATHER THAN IN AN ARBITRATION, (I) SUCH ACTION, SUIT, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE SUBJECT TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICATION OF THE FEDERAL OR STATE COURTS, AS APPLICABLE, SITTING IN EASTERN DISTRICT OF WISCONSIN, GREEN BAY DIVISION (FEDERAL) AND OUTAGAMIE COUNTY CIRCUIT COURT, WISCONSIN (STATE) AND EACH PARTY WAIVES ANY CLAIM OF INCONVENIENT FORUM, AND (II) EACH PARTY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, CLAIM OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO ENFORCE, DEFEND OR INTERPRET ANY RIGHTS OR REMEDIES ARISING HEREUNDER, RELATING TO OR IN CONNECTION WITH THESE TERMS OR THE SERVICE.

Except if you are a resident of New Jersey, you and K-C also agree that any cause of action arising out of or related to the Sites must commence within one (1) year after the cause of action accrues. Otherwise, such cause of action is permanently barred.

If any provision of these Terms, any applicable Additional Terms, or the Privacy Statement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from these Terms, the applicable Additional Terms, or the Privacy Statement, as applicable, and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.

These Terms, together with any Additional Terms, constitute the entire agreement between you and K-C relating to the subject matter herein, and supersede any prior or contemporaneous communications and agreements (whether oral, written or electronic) between you and us.

Our failure to enforce any provision of these Terms and/or any Additional Terms or respond to a breach by you or any other party shall not in any way waive our right to enforce subsequently any terms or conditions of these Terms and/or any Additional Terms or to act with respect to similar breaches.
