6. Copyright Infringement and DMCA Policy.

   As GaggleAMP asks others to respect its intellectual property rights, it respects the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that material located on or linked to by GaggleAMP.com violates your copyright, you are encouraged to notify GaggleAMP in accordance with GaggleAMP's Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy (see below). GaggleAMP will respond to all such notices, including as required or appropriate by removing the infringing material or disabling all links to the infringing material that are contained on the Website. GaggleAMP may terminate a visitor's access to and use of the Website at GaggleAMP's sole discretion if GaggleAMP determines that the visitor or user is or may be infringing on the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of GaggleAMP or others. In the case of such termination, GaggleAMP will have no obligation to provide a refund of any amounts previously paid to GaggleAMP.

   DMCA/IP Notification Policy. To notify GaggleAMP of infringing or unlawful content, please provide GaggleAMP with the following information:

   • Your name, address, telephone number and e-mail address;

   • A description of the exact location on the Website or Gaggle of the infringing or unlawful content;

   • A description of the claimed infringing or unlawful content, specifying which parts you belief infringe or are unlawful and which parts you believe should be removed;

   • In the event that you believe that the content infringes your rights, please include a detailed statement specifying your asserted rights and why the content infringes them;

   GaggleAMP, Inc. Attn: Copyright Agent 22 McGrath Highway Suite 201Somerville, MA 02143 dmca@gaggleamp.com

7. Infringement and Third Party Content. Because GaggleAMP.com allows content to be posted from third parties and third party websites, there is a chance that the ability to remove any allegedly infringing content will be out of our control. While we will make a good faith effort to remove the allegedly infringing content, once content is posted from GaggleAMP to any third-party website, GaggleAMP will have no control or ability to remove such content. If you believe your copyright has been infringed by a GaggleAMP.com user posting content from a third party website or to a third party website, we strongly suggest you contact the third party or third party site directly and request the allegedly infringing material be taken down.

8. Intellectual Property. This Agreement does not transfer, assign or license from GaggleAMP to you any GaggleAMP or third party intellectual property, and all right, title and interest in and to such property will remain (as between the parties) solely with GaggleAMP. GaggleAMP, the GaggleAMP logo, and all other trademarks, service marks, graphics and logos used in connection with GaggleAMP or the Website are trademarks or registered trademarks of GaggleAMP or GaggleAMP's licensors. Other trademarks, service marks, graphics, and logos used in connection with the Website may be the trademarks of other third parties. Your use of the Website grants you no right or license to reproduce or otherwise use any GaggleAMP or third-party trademarks.

9. Automated Use. GaggleAMP.com was designed with an opt-in convenience feature to allow an individual Gaggle Member with the ability to auto-share messages. This feature was not designed to be used as a centrally managed message automation service that removes individuals from the distribution of such messages. GaggleAMP will actively monitor Gaggle use and will be responsive to inquiries of any supported social media platform requests to investigate improper use. GaggleAMP will take immediate action addressing anyone suspected of improper use including those actions identified in sections 2 and 5 of this Agreement.

10. Changes. GaggleAMP reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to modify or replace any part of this Agreement. It is your responsibility to check this Agreement periodically for changes.
