As a believer in the protection of intellectual property rights, we are willing to perform a limited investigation of reasonable complaints that may be received by the COMPANY in relation to infringing material being made available and/or otherwise accessible on our Site.  However, we reserve the right to not remove the allegedly infringing materials from our Site where you have not provided to the COMPANY reasonable information related to the ownership in the copyright of the alleged infringing materials.
We encourage the owners of intellectual property rights who believe their rights are being infringed by any third party advertiser viewable on the Site, to resolve their disputes directly with that other party.
If you believe that your intellectual property rights or those of a third party have been violated by the COMPANY or by a third party who has included material on our Site or in our materials, please provide to us a statement with the information listed below to the COMPANY’s designated copyright agent as specified below:

• A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
