You agree not to falsely identify yourself in any manner or provide any false or inaccurate information. You grant to us, the Index Parties, and all other persons and entities involved in the operation of the Website the right to use, store, monitor, retrieve and transmit Your User Information in connection with the operation of the Website. Our information collection and use policies with respect to the privacy of Your User Information are set forth in our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated in these Terms by reference for all purposes.

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of Your User Information. You are also solely responsible for any and all activities that occur under Your Account or Your User Information. You must notify us immediately of any suspected or actual unauthorized use of Your Account or Your User Information, and of any and all other security breaches.

We reserve the right to terminate Your Account or to refuse services to you, without prior notice to you, at any time and for any or no reason.

Your notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that website;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;
