Upon receiving a counter-notice, we may inform the original claimant and, unless they file a legal action, restore the content after 10-14 business days.

Your email address and the contents of any email sent to us will be used solely for correspondence and response purposes.
Any non-personal information shared via email—such as feedback, questions, suggestions, or ideas—will be considered non-confidential. We assume no obligation to protect such information from disclosure. Submission of non-personal information does not restrict the Sites or affiliated entities from developing, producing, or using similar ideas, products, or plans for any purpose. We reserve the right to reproduce, use, and distribute this information without liability or restriction.
Personal information provided within emails, such as names, email addresses, or home addresses, will be handled in accordance with our Privacy Notice.

Please consult your carrier for details regarding your service plan.
By providing your wireless number, you consent to receive account-related communications and other information via automated technology. You also confirm that any wireless number you provide belongs to you or that the owner has authorized these communications.
12. LINKS TO THIRD-PARTY SITES

Additionally, we may include affiliate links, from which we may earn revenue if purchases are made. Some Services may integrate third-party platforms like YouTube, subject to their terms of service.
13. SOFTWARE APPLICATIONS
We may provide software applications to enhance your access to our Services. You are granted a limited, non-transferable license to install and use such applications solely for personal use. By using the applications, you agree to accept automatic updates when provided.

Some jurisdictions may not permit the exclusion of certain warranties or limit liability for incidental or consequential damages. As such, some of the exclusions and limitations mentioned above may not apply to you. Where applicable law does not allow us to disclaim certain warranties or limit our liability, our obligations will be confined to the least extent permitted under the law.
18. INDEMNIFICATION
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless us, our affiliates, officers, directors, employees, consultants, subcontractors, and agents from any claims, liabilities, losses, costs, or expenses, including reasonable attorney fees, arising from your violation of these Terms (or anyone using your account). We reserve the right to take control of the defense of any matter that would otherwise be indemnified by you, at our expense, and you agree to cooperate with our defense. You also waive the protections offered by California Civil Code Section 1542 or similar laws in other jurisdictions, which generally state that a release does not cover unknown claims.
19. SMALL CLAIMS COURT; INFRINGEMENT
Either you or Crypto Daily News may choose to resolve any claim qualifying for small claims court in your home county in the U.S. Additionally, regardless of any obligation to arbitrate disputes, both parties retain the right to seek injunctive or equitable relief from a competent court to prevent or address infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights.
20. WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL AND CLASS ACTIONS
All claims and disputes must be resolved on an individual basis, not as part of a class or consolidated action. If this waiver of class actions is found invalid, neither you nor Crypto Daily News will be entitled to arbitration, and all claims must be resolved in a court as detailed below.
