or licensed to Company (“Company Content”) which is protected by copyright, trademark, patent, trade
secret and other laws. Therefore, Company owns or licenses all Intellectual Property Rights in the
Company Content, Site and Services. Company hereby grants you a limited, revocable, non-sublicensable
non-exclusive license to display the Company Content (excluding any software code) solely for your
personal use in connection with using the Services in accordance with the Terms of Use. You may copy or

COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS
If you believe that materials hosted by the Site infringe your copyright, you or your agent may submit a
Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) notice by providing Company with the following information
in writing:
• A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed;
• A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
• A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the site;
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address and all other information sufficient to
permit us to contact you;
• 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
• A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is
accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Any notification that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient
notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon Company actual knowledge of facts or circumstances
from which infringing material or acts are evident.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you,
the DMCA permits you to send to Company a counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet
the then current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA.
If you believe that your User Content was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or
that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to
the law, to post and use the content in your User Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the
following information to the contact address for Company set forth below:
• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the user content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled
and the location at which the user content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a
result of mistake or a misidentification of the user content; and
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the
jurisdiction of the federal court in Pennsylvania and a statement that you will accept service of
process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
Counter-notice of claims of copyright infringement can be sent to the address and email on our Contact
Page.
If a counter-notice is received, you agree that we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original
complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in
ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the
content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten
to fourteen (10 to 14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice
may not be valid.
Notices and counter notices should be sent to the address or email set forth in the contact page.
