This Agreement is between you and us.

The Site may include or be used in connection with certain Third Party Applications (as defined in Section 12 below).

We may notify you of such changes by any reasonable means, including by posting the revised version of this Agreement on the Site. You can determine when we last changed this Agreement by referring to the “THE UPDATED” legend above. Your use of the Site following changes to this Agreement will constitute your acceptance of those changes; provided, however, any material change to this Agreement shall not apply retrospectively to any claim or dispute between you and us in connection with this Agreement that arose prior to the “LAST UPDATED” date applicable to that version of this Agreement in which we included such material change. We may, at any time, modify or discontinue all or part of the Site.

If any of these terms are determined to be illegal, invalid or otherwise unenforceable by reason of the laws of any state or country in which these terms are intended to be effective, then to the extent and within the jurisdiction in which that term is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, it shall be severed and deleted from these terms and the remaining terms shall survive, remain in full force and effect and continue to be binding and enforceable.

In any event, we are not responsible for the information collection, usage and disclosure practices of third parties. You agree that all information you provide to us is true, accurate and complete, and you will maintain and update such information regularly.

22. Claims of Copyright Infringement.

In the United States, the 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 U.S. copyright law. Other protections for copyright owners are available in other jurisdictions. If you believe in good faith that materials available on the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that we remove the material or disable access to it. If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against you, please send us a counter-notice. In the United States, notices and counter-notices must meet the thencurrent statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://www.copyright.gov for details).

Upon receipt of notification the ‘Notice and Takedown’ procedure invoked is as follows:

1. a) we will acknowledge receipt of your complaint and will make an initial assessment of the validity and plausibility of the complaint;
2. b) upon receipt of a valid complaint the material will be temporarily removed from the Site pending an agreed solution;
3. c) we will contact the contributor who deposited the material, if relevant, and the contributor will be notified that the material is subject to a complaint, under what allegations, and will be encouraged to assuage the complaints concerned;
4. d) the complainant and the contributor will be encouraged to resolve the issue swiftly and amicably and to the satisfaction of both parties, and the material is replaced on the Site unchanged or with changes, or is permanently removed. If the contributor and the complainant are unable to agree a solution, the material will remain unavailable through the Site until a time when a resolution has been reached.

Notices and counter-notices should be sent to the address referred to in paragraph 21.

You should consider consulting your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice.
