TERMS OF USE

We reserve the right to change these Terms from time to time. For example, we may need to change these Terms if we come out with a new feature. If we make changes, we will notify you by revising the date at the top of these Terms and, in some cases, we will provide you with additional notice (such as adding a statement to our homepage or sending you an email notification). We encourage you to review these Terms periodically to stay informed about our practices.

Whenever we make changes to these Terms, they are effective when the revised Terms are posted unless we notify you otherwise. If you continue to use the Services after the revised Terms have been posted, then you will be deemed to have accepted the changes to these Terms.

Site COPYRIGHT POLICY Site respects the legitimate rights of copyright owners, and has adopted an efficient notice and takedown procedure as required by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and described herein. TO COPYRIGHT OWNERS It is our policy to respond to clear, DMCA compliant notices of alleged copyright infringement.  In addition, we will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of those determined by us to be “repeat infringers.” If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any content hosted on the Service infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing Site’s Designated Copyright Agent (provided below) with the following information in writing: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site; Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Site to locate the material; providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly; Information reasonably sufficient to permit Site to contact the complaining party, such as address, telephone number, and, if available, electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; 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 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. Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. Please consider seeking legal advice before submitting a notice. TO Site SERVICE USERS You are not permitted to upload, transmit or otherwise distribute content that infringes upon another party’s intellectual property rights or other proprietary, contractual or fiduciary rights or obligations.  Your content may be taken down if Site receives notice that infringing material has been posted. You will be sent a DMCA compliant notice of the take-down. Please note, however, that Site respects your legitimate interests in being permitted to present a response to claims of infringement. Therefore, you may protest a DMCA notice by submitting a counter-notification as described below. To be effective, your counter-notification must be a written communication that includes the following, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. Section 512(g)(3): A physical or electronic signature of the subscriber; Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; A statement under penalty of perjury that the subscriber has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; The subscriber’s name, address, and telephone number; and A statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Site may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

    Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability. Please consider seeking legal advice before submitting a counter-notice. All notifications and counter-notifications must be submitted in English or Hebrew. In the event that translated materials are submitted, please provide a notarized authorization of the translations. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Site Designated Copyright Agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support or other communications should be directed to Site customer service through the support link for the relevant Site product/website.
