1. Notification of Copyright Infringement

WildStream respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, WildStream will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. 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 are authorized to act on behalf of one or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the WildStream website and service (collectively the “Service”) by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to WildStream’s Designated Copyright Agent (please consult your legal counsel or see 17 U.S.C.

6. WildStream Has No Obligation to Adjudicate IP Claims – User’s Agreement to Hold Us Harmless From Claims

Claimants and users must understand that WildStream is not an intellectual property tribunal. While we may in our discretion use the information provided in order to decide how to respond to infringement claims, we are not responsible for determining the merits of such claims. If a user responds to a claim of infringement by providing assurances that its content is not infringing, the user agrees that if we thereafter restore or maintain the content, the user will defend and hold WildStream harmless from any resulting claims of infringement brought against WildStream.
