You agree that you, and not Panraven, are responsible for any violations of any intellectual property rights in any content that you upload to the Site.

Notification of Trademark Infringements

If you believe that your trademark (the "Infringed Mark") is being used by a member in a way that constitutes trademark infringement, please provide Panraven's Copyright Agent (specified above) with the following information:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature, or a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on your behalf;

  2. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Panraven to contact you or your authorized agent, including a name, address, telephone number and, if available, an email address;

  3. Identification of the Infringed Mark(s) claimed to have been infringed, including (i) for registered Infringed Marks, a copy of each relevant federal trademark registration certificate or (ii) for common law Infringed Marks, evidence sufficient to establish the time period and geographic area in which the Infringed Mark has been used by you;

  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Panraven to identify the use being challenged;

  5. A statement that you have not authorized the challenged use, and that you have a good-faith belief that the challenged use is not authorized by law; and

  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the Infringed Mark owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of the Infringed Mark owner.

Upon receipt of notice as described above, Panraven will confirm the existence of the Infringed Mark on the Site, notify the registered member who posted the Infringed Mark, and take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the Infringed Mark from the Site. A registered member may respond to notice of takedown by showing either (a) that the Infringed Mark has been cancelled, or has expired or lapsed or (b) that the registered member has a trademark registration, an unexpired license covering the use, or some other relevant right to the Infringed Mark. If the registered member succeeds in showing either (a) or (b), then Panraven will not remove the Infringed Mark. If Panraven decides to comply with a takedown request, it will do so within a commercially reasonable time after receipt of the notice.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Panraven will comply as appropriate with the terms of any court order relating to alleged trademark infringement on the Site.

Rights of Publicity and Use of Name or Likeness

Panraven respects the rights of individuals to exploit their own name, voice, signature, photograph or likeness and prohibits its users from posting content or media that would otherwise misappropriate a third party's right of publicity. If you think that your right of publicity is being misappropriated as a result of content or media on the Site, please provide Panraven's Copyright Agent (specified above) with the following information:

  1. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Panraven to identify the content or media containing your likeness;

  2. Your name, address, telephone number and, if available, your email address;

  3. A statement that you, or in the case of a minor, your parent or legal guardian, (the "Authorizing Party") has not authorized the challenged use, and that the use is not otherwise authorized by law; and

  4. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the Authorizing Party or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the Authorizing Party.

Upon receipt of notice as described above, Panraven will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged use from the Site, with notice to the registered member in question, unless, prior to such removal, the registered member in question sufficiently demonstrates that he or she has appropriate authorization or consent to use your likeness.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Panraven will comply as appropriate with the terms of any court order relating to the behavior of the challenged party identified in such court order.
