- Complaints
Seacrets Online is committed to promptly resolving, in good faith, all complaints and appeals.
- All media can be reported by any user directly on the site. You may also send an email to [email protected] containing your name, email address or username, applicable URLs (if any), a description of the issue (e.g., underage material, non-consensual content, personal information, impersonation, trademark infringement, spam, prostitution or trafficking, weapons, drugs, etc.), and any additional details (including whether you are depicted in the content, whether you agreed to the recording of the content, and whether you agreed to the publication of the content on Seacrets Online.)
- We intend to operate this system as efficiently and quickly as possible in a fair and reasonable manner. We strive to resolve all reports within seven (7) business days and provide clear guidelines to prevent issues from recurring. If a violation has occurred, we will determine the appropriate remedy and take the necessary action. Any content deemed to be illegal will be removed immediately. We will not take action against other users for activity that happens on another platform or offline. We may suggest that you block the other user to prevent further interactions between you and the reported user.
- Appeals from abuse takedowns can be sent to [email protected] with a written description of the basis for the appeal. In instances where disputes over consent cannot be resolved internally, such disputes are submitted to a neutral arbitration association at our expense. Once an action is taken or if more information is needed from you, we will contact you by email or other electronic message.
- We reserve the right to take advanced actions against those users that (1) repeatedly violate our rules, or (2) engage in a single egregious violation of our rules. These advanced actions may include but are not limited to deleting the offending user’s account and permanently banning the user from using Seacrets Online in the future.
- Copyright infringement disputes are addressed by sending DMCA notices to our Designated DMCA Agent in accordance with our DMCA Policy. Our response to DMCA notices or counternotifications are governed by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act and our DMCA Policy.
- Scope of Disclaimers, Exclusions, and Limitations
The disclaimers, exclusions, and limitations stated herein apply to the greatest extent allowed by law, but no more. The Company does not intend to deprive you of any mandatory protections provided to you by law. Because some jurisdictions may prohibit the disclaimer of some warranties, the exclusion of some damages, or other matters, one or more of the disclaimers, exclusions, or limits will not apply to you.
- Indemnification
- Indemnification Provision: You will pay the Company, its subsidiaries, affiliates, licensors, service providers, content providers, employees, agents, officers, directors, and contractors (the “Indemnified Parties”) for any loss of the Indemnified Parties’ that is caused by any of the following: your access of Seacrets Online; your conduct on Seacrets Online, including any content you submit to Seacrets Online; your breach of these Terms; your actual or alleged violation of rights of any person, including intellectual property and Seacrets Onlineacy rights; your actual or alleged violation of any law; your actual or alleged negligent, fraudulent, or intentional conduct; or your actual or alleged criminal conduct. But you are not required to pay if the loss was caused by the Indemnified Parties’ intentional misconduct.
- Definitions Related to Indemnification: “Loss” means an amount that the Indemnified Parties are legally responsible for or pay in any form. Amounts include, for example, a judgment, a settlement, a fine, damages, injunctive relief, staff compensation, a decrease in property value, and expenses for defending against a claim for a loss (including fees for legal counsel, expert witnesses, and other advisers). A loss can be tangible or intangible; can arise from bodily injury, property damage, or other causes; can be based on tort, breach of contract, or any other theory of recovery; and includes incidental, direct, and consequential damages. A loss is “caused by” an event if the loss would not have happened without the event, even if the event is not a proximate cause of the loss.
- Indemnified Parties’ Duty to Notify You: If the Indemnified Party has your contact information, the Indemnified Party will notify you before the 30th day after the Indemnified Party knows or should reasonably have known of a claim for a loss that you might be compelled to pay. But the Indemnified Party’s failure to give you timely notice does not end your obligation, except if that failure prejudices your ability to defend or mitigate losses.
- Legal Defense of a Claim: The Indemnified Party has control over defending a claim for a loss (including settling it), unless the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense. If the Indemnified Party directs you to control the defense, you will not settle any litigation without the Indemnified Party’s written consent if the settlement (1) imposes a penalty or limitation on the Indemnified Party, (2) admits the Indemnified Party’s fault, or (3) does not fully release the Indemnified Party from liability. You and the Indemnified Party will cooperate with each other in good faith on a claim.
- No Exclusivity: The Indemnified Parties’ rights herein do not affect other rights they might have.
- Dispute Resolution – Binding Arbitration and Waiver of Class Claims
In the interest of resolving disputes between you and Seacrets Online in the most expedient and cost-effective manner, you and Seacrets Online agree that any and all disputes arising in connection with these Terms of Use will be resolved by binding arbitration. Arbitration is more informal than a lawsuit in court. Arbitration uses a neutral arbitrator instead of a judge or jury, may allow for more limited discovery than in court, and can be subject to very limited review by courts. Arbitrators can award the same damages and relief that a court can award. Our agreement with you to arbitrate disputes includes all claims arising out of or relating to any aspect of these Terms, whether based in contract, tort, statute, fraud, misrepresentation, or any other legal theory, and regardless of whether the claims arise during or after the termination of these Terms of Use. You understand and agree that, by entering into these Terms of Use, you and Seacrets Online are each waiving the right to a trial by jury or to participate in a class action.
Notwithstanding the paragraph immediately above, you and Seacrets Online agree that nothing herein will be deemed to waive, preclude, or otherwise limit either of our right to (i) bring an individual action in small claims court, (ii) pursue enforcement actions through applicable federal, state, or local agencies where such actions are available, (iii) seek injunctive relief in a court of law, or (iv) file suit in a court of law to address intellectual property infringement claims not otherwise precluded by these Terms of Use. Furthermore, this agreement to arbitrate will not modify your agreement and acknowledgement that you cannot bring any claim against Seacrets Online based on our suspension or termination of the account of any other User.
Any arbitration between you and Seacrets Online will be governed by the Consumer Arbitration Rules (or such subsequently adopted rules modifying such procedures) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”), subject to any modification by these Terms of Use, and will be administered by the AAA. The AAA Rules and filing forms are available online at www.adr.org, by calling the AAA at 1-800-778-7879.
A party who intends to seek arbitration must first send a written notice of the dispute to the other party by certified mail or nationally recognized overnight courier (signature required), or, in the event that we do not have a current physical address on file for you, by email (“Notice”). Seacrets Online’s address for Notice is: email: [[email protected]]. The Notice must (a) describe the nature and basis of the claim or dispute; and (b) set forth the specific relief sought. The parties agree to use good faith efforts to resolve the claim directly, but if we do not reach an agreement to do so within 30 days after the Notice is received, you or Seacrets Online may commence an arbitration proceeding.
Any arbitration hearings will take place at a location to be agreed upon in Claymont, Delaware, provided that if the claim is for $10,000 or less, you may choose whether the arbitration will be conducted solely on the basis of documents submitted to the arbitrator, through a non-appearance-based telephonic hearing, or by an in-person hearing as established by the AAA Rules. Regardless of the manner in which the arbitration is conducted, the arbitrator will issue a reasoned written decision sufficient to explain the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision and award, if any, are based. The arbitrator may make rulings and resolve disputes as to the payment and reimbursement of fees or expenses at any time during the proceeding and upon request from either party made within 14 days of the arbitrator’s ruling on the merits.
YOU AND SEACRETS ONLINE AGREE THAT YOU EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN YOUR OR ITS INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. Further, unless both you and Seacrets Online agree otherwise, you agree that you will not request the arbitrator or court to consolidate more than one person’s claims, or to otherwise preside over any form of a representative or class proceeding.
- Miscellaneous
- Entire Agreement: These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and the Company about your access to Seacrets Online. It supersedes all earlier or contemporaneous agreements between you and the Company about access to Seacrets Online. A printed version of this agreement will be admissible in any proceedings arising out of (or relating to) these Terms to the same extent and subject to the same conditions as other business documents and records originally generated and kept in printed form. Any additional terms on Seacrets Online will govern the items to which they pertain.
- Assignment and Delegation: The Company may assign its rights or delegate any performance under these Terms without your consent. You will not assign your rights or delegate your performance under this agreement without the Company’s advanced written consent. Any attempted assignment of rights or delegation of performance in breach of this section is void.
- No Waivers: The parties may waive any provision in these Terms only by a writing signed by the party or parties against whom the waiver is sought to be enforced. No failure or delay in exercising any right or remedy, or in requiring the satisfaction of any condition, under these Terms, and no act, omission, or course of dealing between the parties, operates as a waiver or estoppel of any right, remedy, or condition. A waiver made in writing on one occasion is effective only in that instance and only for the purpose stated. A waiver once given is not to be construed as a waiver on any future occasion or against any other person.
- Severability: The parties intend as follows:
- that if any provision of these Terms is held to be unenforceable, then that provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, unless that modification is not permitted by law, in which case that provision will be disregarded;
- that if modifying or disregarding the unenforceable provision would result in failure of an essential purpose of this agreement, these Terms will be held unenforceable;
- that if an unenforceable provision is modified or disregarded in accordance with this section, then the rest of these Terms will remain in effect as written; and
- that any unenforceable provision will remain as written in any circumstances other than those in which the provision is held to be unenforceable.
- Notice to the Company: You may send notice to the Company by email at [email protected] unless a specific email address is set out for giving notice.

Please check Seacrets Online for the most current information for sending notice to the Company.
- Notice to You: You consent to receiving any notice from the Company in electronic form either (1) by email to the last known email address the Company has for you, (2) a notification on your account, or (3) by posting the notice on a place on Seacrets Online chosen for this purpose. The Company will consider notices sent to you by email received when its email service shows transmission to your email address. You state that any email address you gave the Company for contacting you is a current and valid email address for receiving notice, and that your computer has hardware and software configured to send and receive email through the Internet and to print any email you receive.
- Force Majeure: The Company is not responsible for any failure to perform if unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond its reasonable control delays or continues to delay its performance, including: Acts of God, including fire, flood, earthquakes, hurricanes, tropical storms, epidemics, pandemics, or other natural disasters; war, riot, arson, embargoes, acts of civil or military authority, or terrorism; fiber cuts; strikes, or shortages in transportation, facilities, fuel, energy, labor, or materials; failure of the telecommunications or information services infrastructure; and hacking, spam, or any failure of a computer, server, network, or software.
- No Third-Party Beneficiaries: These Terms do not, and the parties do not intend it to, confer any rights or remedies on any person other than the parties to this agreement.
- Relationship of the Parties: These Terms do not, and the parties do not intend it to, create a partnership, joint venture, agency, franchise, or employment relationship between the parties and the parties expressly disclaim the existence of any of these relationships between them. Neither of the parties is the agent for the other, and neither party has the right to bind the other on any agreement with a third party.

- DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy
Hyper Lab operates www.seacrets.online (“Seacrets Online”) and qualifies as a “Service Provider” within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). Accordingly, it is entitled to certain protections from claims of copyright infringement under the DMCA, commonly referred to as the “safe harbor” provisions. We respect the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Thus, we observe and comply with the DMCA, and have adopted the following Notice and Takedown Policy relating to claims of copyright infringement by our users.
How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement
If you believe that your work has been copied and published on Seacrets Online in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide our Designated Agent (identified below) with the following information:
(a) An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright;
(b) A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
(c) A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on Seacrets Online (preferably including specific URLs associated with the material);
(d) Your address, telephone number, and email address;
(e) A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(f) A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
You may send your Notice of Claimed Infringement (“Notice”) to:
Email: [email protected]
Please do not send other inquiries or information to our Designated Agent. Absent prior express permission, our Designated Agent is not authorized to accept or waive service of formal legal process, and any agency relationship beyond that required to accept valid DMCA Notices is expressly disclaimed.
Further information regarding notification and takedown requirements can be found in the DMCA, here:https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/17/512
Abuse Notification:Abusing the DMCA Notice procedures set forth above, or misrepresenting facts in a DMCA Notice or counter-notification, can result in legal liability for damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees under federal law. See 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). These Notice and Takedown Procedures only apply to claims of copyright infringement by copyright holders and their agents – not to any other kind of abuse, infringement, or legal claim. We will investigate and take action against anyone abusing the DMCA notification or counter-notification procedure. Please ensure that you meet all legal qualifications before submitting a DMCA Notice to our Designated Agent.
How We Respond to Take Down Notices
The following “notification and takedown” procedures apply upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. Seacrets Online reserves the right at any time to disable access to or remove any material or activity accessible on Seacrets Online that is claimed to be infringing or from which infringing activity is apparent based on facts or circumstances. It is the firm policy of Seacrets Online to terminate the account of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and Seacrets Online will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S. C. § 512 of the DMCA. Seacrets Online’s DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraphs. If the Notice does not comply with § 512 of the DMCA but does comply with three notification elements according to § 512 of the DMCA, Seacrets Online shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notification requirements. When the Designated Agent receives a valid Notice, Seacrets Online will expeditiously remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent receives the counter-notification, it will replace the material at issue within ten to fourteen (10-14) business days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity.
How to Submit a Counter-Notification
If a user is affected by a DMCA removal and believes that the allegedly infringing material has been removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, the user is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to § 512(g)(2)-(3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for a user to dispute the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a Notice. The information that a user provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the user will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against Seacrets Online relating to the actions taken in response to the counter-notification.
To submit a counter-notification, please provide our Designated Agent the following information:
(a) A specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the Notice;
(b) A description of where the material was located on Seacrets Online before such material was removed and/or disabled (preferably including specific URLs associated with the material);
(c) A statement reflecting the user’s belief that the removal or disabling of the material was done erroneously. For convenience, the following language may be used:
“I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
(d) The user’s physical address, telephone number, and email address; and,
(e) A statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in and for the judicial district where the user is located, or if the user is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the user will accept service of process from the person who provided the Notice, or that person’s agent.
Written counter-notification containing the above information must be signed and sent to:
Email: [email protected]
Please do not send other inquiries or information to our Designated Agent. Absent prior express permission, our Designated Agent is not authorized to accept or waive service of formal legal process, and any agency relationship beyond that required to accept valid DMCA Notices is expressly disclaimed.
After receiving a DMCA counter-notification, our Designated Agent will forward it to Seacrets Online, and Seacrets Online will then provide any counter-notification to the claimant who first sent the original Notice identifying the allegedly infringing content.
Thereafter, within ten to fourteen (10-14) business days of Seacrets Online’s receipt of a counter-notification, Seacrets Online will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that Seacrets Online or our Designated Agent have not received notice that the original claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on Seacrets Online’s system or network.
English or Spanish Languages
All DMCA notices and counter-notifications must be written in the English or Spanish languages. Any attempted notifications written in other languages or using other characters will be deemed non-compliant and disregarded.
Modifications
Seacrets Online reserves the right to modify, alter, or add to this policy, and all affected persons should regularly check back to stay current on any such changes.
Customer Service Requests
Please note that the Designated Agent is not associated with Seacrets Online in any other capacity but is an attorney with a Seacrets Online law firm. Customer service inquiries, payment questions, and cancellation requests will not receive a response. All such communications must be directed to Seacrets Online’s customer service department.
