DMCA TAKE-DOWN PROCEDURE
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 that your work has been copied by the Company-produced material and posted on the Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide the Company’s copyright agent with the following information: (1) an electronic or physical signature of the copyright owner or of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest; (2) a description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed; (3) a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website; (4) your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; (5) a written 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 (6) 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 the copyright owner’s behalf. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be deemed to confer upon us actual knowledge of facts or circumstances from which infringing material or acts are evident. The Company’s copyright agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be reached as follows:
Deputy General Counsel
One World Trade Center, 65th Floor
New York, NY 10013

The Company, however, is not providing or hosting any of the Third Party Content found on the Website; rather, third parties are providing and hosting such Third Party Content found on the Website. If you believe that your work has been copied by the Third Party Content and posted on the Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please review the DMCA Take-Down Procedures established by the Third Party Content provider that hosts such material (such as YouTube or Twitter). The Third Party Content providers may be able to address your concerns, including the removal of your material from the Website.
The Company suggests that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice with the Company’s or the Third Party’s copyright agent. You should be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
