### Notifications

We respect the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on
or through the Services infringes upon any copyright you own or control, please immediately notify
our Designated Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a "Notification"). A
copy of your Notification will be sent to the person who posted or stored the material addressed in
the Notification. Please be advised that pursuant to federal law you may be held liable for damages
if you make material misrepresentations in a Notification. Thus, if you are not sure that material
located on or linked to by the Services infringes your copyright, you should consider first
contacting an attorney.

All Notifications should meet the requirements of DMCA 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) and include the
following information: (1) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on
behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (2) identification of the
copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Services
are covered by the Notification, a representative list of such works on the Services; (3)
identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing
activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably
sufficient to permit us to locate the material; (4) information reasonably sufficient to permit us
to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email
address at which the complaining party may be contacted; (5) a statement that the complaining party
has 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; and (6) 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 upon.

### Counter Notification

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Services as a result of a
mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification to our Designated
Copyright Agent using the contact information provided below (a "Counter Notification"). To be an
effective Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include substantially
the following: (1) identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location
at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (2) a statement that you consent
to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your
address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we are located; (3) a
statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the Notification or the
party's agent; (4) your name, address, and telephone number; (5) a statement under penalty of
perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a
result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and (6) your
physical or electronic signature.

If you send us a valid, written Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we
will restore your removed or disabled material, unless we first receive notice from the party filing
the Notification informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging
in infringing activity related to the material in question. Please note that if you materially
misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you
may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. Filing a false Counter Notification
constitutes perjury.
