Copyright Infringement Policy
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 in good faith that materials hosted by Sponsor infringe your copyright, you (or your agent)
may send us a request to remove the material, or block access to it. The notice must include the following
information:
(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 at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a list of such works at that site
(iii) identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity you
wish to be removed or access disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to
locate the material
(iv) information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact the complaining party, such as an
address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted
(v) a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of
is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law
(vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that
you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
If you have posted allegedly infringing material and received notification to that effect from Sponsor,
you may elect to send us a counter notice. Such counter notice must be a written communication provided
that includes the following:
(i) the physical or electronic signature of the alleged infringer
(ii) identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the
location before removal
(iii) a statement under penalty of perjury you have 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
(iv) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction
of the United States District Court for District of Maryland, and that you will accept service of
process from the person who provided notification requesting takedown under subsection
(c)(1)(C) of the DMCA or an agent of such person.
All notices and counter-notices described above should be sent to Merkle’s Customer Service Team,
7001 Columbia Gateway Drive, Columbia, MD 21046 or customercare@helloworldfullfilment.com
We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice, as the above-
stated requirements may have changed. Also, 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. It is the policy of Sponsor to terminate the account of any user of its websites that is a copyright
infringer.
