The address of Sitejabber’s agent to receive notice of claimed infringement (“Designated Agent”) is indicated below.

      Attn: Legal Department
      GGL Projects, Inc.
      700 El Camino Real Suite 120-1312
      Menlo Park, CA 94025
      (415) 894-5806
      Email to: legal@sitejabber.com

      • General Policy.
        It is Sitejabber’s policy to (i) block access to or remove material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, Content providers, members or users; and (ii) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders.
      • Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements.
        If you believe that material or Content residing on or accessible through the Sitejabber Site or Sitejabber Service infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing all of the following information to the Designated Agent (“Infringement Notice”):
        1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
        2. Specific identification of all works or materials being infringed;
        3. Specific identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Sitejabber is capable of finding and verifying its existence;
        4. Complete contact information about the notifier, including physical mailing address (not P.O. box), telephone number and email address;
        5. A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
        6. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate, and the notifying party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
      • Upon Receipt of an Infringement Notice.

        1. to remove or disable access to the infringing material;
        2. to notify the Content provider, member or user that it has removed or disabled access to the material; and
        3. for repeat offenders (or otherwise in Sitejabber’s discretion), to terminate the Content provider’s, member’s or user’s access to the Sitejabber Service.
      • Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent.
        If the Content provider, member or user believes that the material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either (a) not infringing, or (b) rightfully posted and used with permission from the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, the Content provider, member or user must send a written notice containing the following information (“Right to Use Notice”) to the Designated Agent:
        1. A physical or electronic signature of the Content provider, member or user;
        2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access to has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
        3. A statement that the Content provider, member or user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material; and
        4. The Content provider’s, member’s or user’s name, address, telephone number, email address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the Content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located, or if the Content provider’s, member’s or user’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Sitejabber is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
      • Removal.
        If a Right to Use Notice is timely received by the Designated Agent, Sitejabber may send a copy of the Right to Use Notice to the original complaining party, informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in approximately 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Right to Use Notice, at Sitejabber’s discretion.
      • Address for Designated Agent.
