3. Submissions
AFRTN is pleased to hear from users and welcomes your
comments regarding AFRTN's programs and services. AFRTN's
longstanding company policy does not allow it to accept or
to consider creative ideas, suggestions, or materials
other than those it has specifically requested. We hope
that you will understand that the intent of this policy is
to avoid the possibility of future misunderstandings when
projects developed by AFRTN's employees and agents might
seem to be similar to creative works submitted by users.
Accordingly, while we value your feedback, we must ask
that you do not send original creative materials. If, at
our request, you send certain specific submissions (for
example contest entries), or without a request from us you
send creative suggestions, ideas, notes or concepts or
other materials (collectively, "Comments"), they
shall be deemed, and shall remain, the property of AFRTN,
and shall otherwise be subject to the provisions below.
You represent and warrant that you are authorized to grant
all rights in the Comments to AFRTN. Disclosure,
submission, or offer of any Comments shall constitute an
assignment to AFRTN of all worldwide rights, titles, and
interests in all copyrights and other intellectual
property rights in such Comments. AFRTN may edit, copy,
publish, distribute, translate, and otherwise use in any
medium any Comments that you forward to AFRTN and will own
exclusively all such rights, titles, and interest and
shall not be limited in any way in its use, commercial or
otherwise, of the Comments. AFRTN is and shall be under no
obligation to: (1) maintain any of your or any user's
Comments in confidence; (2) to pay to you or any user any
compensation for any Comments; or (3) to respond to any of
your or any other user's Comments.

will not be responsible or liable for any loss or damage
of any sort incurred as the result of any such dealings or

12. Infringement Policy
AFRTN, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. Section 512 as amended by
Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the
"Act"), reserves the right, but not the
obligation, to terminate your license to use the Service
if it determines in its sole and absolute discretion that
you are involved in infringing activity, including alleged
acts of first-time or repeat infringement, regardless of
whether the material or activity is ultimately determined
to be infringing. AFRTN accommodates and does not
interfere with standard technical measures used by
copyright owners to protect their materials. In addition,
pursuant to 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c), AFRTN has
implemented procedures for receiving written notification
of claimed infringements and for processing such claims in
accordance with the Act. All claims of infringement must
be submitted to AFRTN in a written complaint that complies
with the requirements below and is delivered to our
designated agent to receive notification of claimed
infringement:
In addition, any written notice regarding any defamatory
or infringing activity, whether of a copyright, patent,
trademark or other proprietary right must include the
following information:
A. A physical or electronic signature of a person
authorized to act on behalf of (1) the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed or (2) the
person defamed.
B. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have
been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a
single online site are covered by a single notification, a
representative list of such works at that site. Similarly,
for materials that are defamatory or infringe patent,
trademark, or other proprietary rights of a third party,
please submit a list of such materials.
C. Identification of the material that is claimed to be
infringing, to be the subject of infringing activity, or
that is claimed to be defamatory 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.
D. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to
contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and/or
electronic mail address.
E. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use
of the material in the manner complained of is not
authorized by the copyright or other proprietary right
owner, its agent, or the law.
F. A statement that the information in the notification is
accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are
authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive
right that is allegedly infringed or on behalf of the
person defamed.
