j. Copyright Infringement Take Down Procedure

CRERAYS respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In appropriate circumstances and at its sole and absolute discretion, CRERAYS may disable, suspend and/or terminate the accounts of users who infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Platform by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to CRERAYS. Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, CRERAYS will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Platform. DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement ("Notice") must contain the following information: Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or - if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice - you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed. Identify (i) the material that you claim is 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, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site where such material may be found, and (ii) the reference or link, to the material or activity that you claim to be infringing, that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that reference or link, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site where such reference or link may be found.

Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature. If the work you identified is an image, you can ask CRERAYS to remove all copies of the image identified in your request by clearly specifying in the beginning of your email that you are requesting that CRERAYS “remove all content containing the image”. Please note that only identical copies of the image file can be removed by this function. If an image file has been re-sized or altered in any other way, then it cannot be detected or removed through this function. Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to: CRERAYS LLC, 374 Millburn Avenue, 4th Floor, Millburn, New Jersey 07041.
