You shall notify Us of all domains, web pages or IP addresses for which You are acting as Service Provider.

You shall provide Us with a current link to Your DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy and further advise Us of any changes to Your Designated Agent contact information. This shall be a continuing obligation for as long as You use Our Services.
It is the policy of gamesfinder.net to provide any infringement notices it receives relating to Service Provider Subscribers, directly to the Subscriber's Designated DMCA Agent, and to further notify any copyright claimants of the identity and contact information for the Service Provider Subscriber's Designated DMCA Agent. Failure to maintain compliance with this section shall constitute a material breach of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein should be interpreted as legal advice, and You are encouraged to consult your personal attorney regarding DMCA safe harbor compliance, or any other legal matter.

12.10   In keeping with Our DMCA policies and obligations set forth above, You understand, agree, and expressly allow Us to access and subsequently disable public access to any files or data residing on the server, disk, partition, or other data space under Your control as Our customer when such files or data, in Our discretion; 1), have been identified in a substantially compliant DMCA notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512; or 2) when We become aware of facts or circumstances indicating that such files or data are infringing on the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of third parties. Given that Our customers may employ various methods of securing files in conjunction with Our Services, and in an attempt to avoid material disruption of Our customers' Services, You agree that You will provide Us with Your preferred procedure for disabling access to material identified under this provision. If We forward You a substantially compliant DMCA Notice and which concerns content under Your control, You are obligated under this Agreement to immediately disable or remove access to such content. Irrespective of the above, We reserve the right to disable or remove access to such content, in Our discretion, and without claim of damage or injury by You. While We will attempt to simply disable access to such content without fully deleting it, or suspending all services to your account, We make no warranties concerning harm or injury to the content, and reserve the right to take any necessary actions to disable access to the identified material, including suspension or termination of Services. It is therefore in Your best interest to promptly respond to any DMCA Notices You may receive. Should You or Your website's users feel that such DMCA Notice was erroneously or improperly sent, You must follow the Counter-Notification procedure set forth above, and wait the required period of time, before We allow public access to the content to resume.

12.11   Nothing contained in this Section, or any part of this Agreement, shall constitute legal or professional advice regarding any matter referenced therein. You are responsible for obtaining your own legal advice regarding compliance with any and all applicable laws or regulations.

13. ZERO TOLERANCE SPAM POLICY

13.2   gamesfinder.net reserves the right to modify the Anti-Spam Policy at any time by posting the modified policy on its web Site. You agree to monitor gamesfinder.net's home page for any changes to the Anti-Spam Policy. Your continued use of the Services after the effective date of any changes to the Anti-Spam Policy constitutes Your manifestation of intent to be bound by such changes.

14. PAYMENT

Failure to make payment of Fees for Services when due may result in the suspension or termination of Services.

14.3   At the time of registration, You must select a payment method. gamesfinder.net reserves the right to contract with a third party to process all payments.
