12. Notice of Claims of Intellectual Property Violations

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. If you believe in good faith that any materials submitted to the Service, the Platform and/or the Site infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the 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 or made available in the Services 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 Everything Marketing to locate the material on the Site or made available in the Services; 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 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. 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 or the Services should be sent to legal@parqhq.com. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

Please provide all of the information requested above. No specific form is required to provide us with notifications of possible infringement. However, it will take us longer to process your notice if any of this information is not provided, and in some cases, we may not be able to process your notice. Also please note that, due to security concerns, attachments cannot be accepted. Accordingly, any notification of possible infringement submitted electronically with an attachment will not be received or processed.
