All parties waive any claim to indirect, consequential, punitive, exemplary or multiplied damages arising out of any dispute with us unless the statute under which they are suing provides otherwise.
18. Copyright ComplaintsThe 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 United States copyright law. If you believe in good faith that any content or other material hosted by the Site infringes your copyright, you (or your agent) may send the Operator a notice requesting that such content or material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow the Operator to locate the content or other material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the content or other material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send the Operator a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to the Operator at the address below.
Please note that you may be liable for damages (including attorney's fees and other costs) if you misrepresent a claim that content is infringing upon your copyright. Therefore, if you are not sure if material available online infringes your copyright (it may be protected under exceptions to the copyright law, like fair use), we suggest that you contact legal counsel before submitting any such claim. Please note that a copy of each legal notice and claim (with your personal information) could be sent to a third-party for publication and annotation. This contact information is only for reporting copyright infringement.
