We respect the intellectual property rights in creative works and of those who create them, and take violations of those rights seriously and expect Authorized Users of the eChalk Services to do the same. eChalk does not permit copyright infringing activities and infringement of intellectual property rights on the eChalk Services, and eChalk will remove all content if properly notified under the procedures referenced in this Section that such content infringes on another's intellectual property rights. In appropriate circumstances and at eChalk’s discretion, it is also the policy of eChalk to disable and/or terminate the User Accounts of Authorized Users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others. Because eChalk takes matters of intellectual property rights violations seriously, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the eChalk Services that are reported to eChalk’s designated copyright agent (“eChalk DMCA Copyright Agent”), identified in a Notice of Alleged Copyright Infringement Pursuant to DMCA § 512 ("DMCA Copyright Notice") discussed at http://www.echalk.com/copyright, which DMCA Copyright Notice and its related procedures set forth in the content accessed at the link above constitute an exhibit to this Agreement incorporated herein by this reference. For clarity, only DMCA Copyright Notices should go to the eChalk DMCA Copyright Agent at copyright@echalk.com; any requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to eChalk’s technical support services via email at support@echalk.com; and all other general comments, questions or requests other communications should be directed to information@echalk.com. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA Copyright Notice may not be valid.
