17. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT COMPLIANCE

Digital Millennium Copyright Act Compliance. It is iTag's policy to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. In addition, iTag will promptly terminate without notice the accounts of Users that are determined by iTag to be "repeat infringers." A repeat infringer is a User who has been notified by iTag of infringing activity violations more than twice and/or who has had a User Submission removed from the iTag Service more than twice.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any content hosted on any iTag Service infringes your copyrights, then you may submit a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by providing iTag's Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

      i.        A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

     ii.        Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the applicable iTag Service are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on the applicable iTag Service;

    iii.        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 iTag to locate the material;

    iv.        Information reasonably sufficient to permit iTag to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;

     v.        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 (for example, "I am under the good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted content that is identified herein is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."); and

    vi.        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 (for example, "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, of the copyright(s) that is allegedly infringed by the aforementioned content.").

iTag's Designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement can be reached as follows: Attention: Copyright Agent at copyright@iTag.com . For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the ITag Designated Copyright Agent. Any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support or other communications should be directed to ITag customer service through support@iTag.com. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. 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.

18.3 Severability, Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision shall be deemed severable from this Agreement and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. A provision of this Agreement may be waived only by a written instrument executed by the party entitled to the benefit of such provision. The failure of any party at any time to require performance of any provision of this Agreement shall in no manner affect such party's right at a later time to enforce the same. A waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as a continuing waiver of other breaches of the same or other provisions of this Agreement.

18.4 Notices. iTag may provide you with notices, including those regarding changes to this Agreement, by email, regular mail or postings on the iTag Services. Notice will be deemed given twenty-four hours after email is sent, unless iTag is notified that the email address is invalid. Alternatively, we may give you legal notice by mail to a postal address, if provided by you through the iTag Services. In such case, notice will be deemed given three days after the date of mailing.

18.8 Claims. YOU AND iTag AGREE THAT ANY CAUSE OF ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THE iTag SERVICES MUST COMMENCE WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE CAUSE OF ACTION ACCRUES. OTHERWISE, SUCH CAUSE OF ACTION IS PERMANENTLY BARRED.

THIRD-PARTY ADVERTISERS AND AD-SERVING COMPANIES:

Advertisements that appear on iTag are sometimes delivered (or "served") directly to Users by third-party advertisers or ad network companies. These companies may automatically receive your IP address or other information about your mobile device or personal computer when serving advertisements. These third parties may also download cookies to your computer, or use other technologies such as JavaScript and "web beacons" (also known as "1x1 gifs") to measure the effectiveness of the advertisements served and to personalize advertising content. Doing this allows the advertiser or ad network to recognize your computer or mobile device each time they send you an advertisement in order to measure the effectiveness of the ad and to personalize advertising content. These companies may compile information about the sites or services visited when seeing advertisements and determine which advertisements are clicked or responded to by you. iTag does not access or have control of the cookies that may be placed by third-party advertisers or ad networks. Likewise, third party advertisers and ad networks do not have access to your personal information stored with ITag unless you choose to share it with them.

In the unlikely event of our bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, receivership, or assignment for the benefit of creditors, or the application of laws or equitable principles affecting creditors' rights generally, we may not be able to control how your personal information is treated, transferred, or used. You will be notified via notice through the iTag Services of any such change in ownership or control of your personally identifiable information.
