DMCA Notices 

Leap respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask our users to do the same. If you infringe copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others, Your Content may be removed or suspended in whole or part. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and our discretion, to disable and/or terminate accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are charged repeatedly with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.  

If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by us infringe your copyright or trademark rights, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The 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 (“Complaining Party”); 
  1. 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; 
  1. 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 Leap to locate the material;

  1. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 

Please be advised that Leap will not respond to complaints that do not meet these requirements. These requirements are guided by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”). If Leap determines that the materials alleged to infringe your copyright or trademark rights do not require removal, Leap will remove those materials only pursuant to a court order declaring the content or use of the materials unlawful. 

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Counter-notices must include the following information:  

  1. Your name, address and telephone number; 
  1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;

  1. A statement that the you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Leap may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the Complaining Party; and 
  1. A physical or electronic signature (for example, typing your full name). 

Notices and counter-notices with respect to claims of copyright infringement must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA (see http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details) and should be sent to the agent identified below. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
