11. COPYRIGHT
The Website, including all text, graphics, user interfaces, visual interfaces, photographs, sounds, audio, video, artwork, computer code (including HTML, CSS, XML, and JavaScript), interactive features, programs, software, products, information, and documentation as well as the design, structure, selection, coordination, expression, “look and feel,” unless otherwise indicated is protected by U.S. and international copyright laws.

12. CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under United States copyright law.
If you believe, in good faith, that materials hosted on the Website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked.
Notices and counter-notices must meet the current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. As of the date these Terms of Use were last updated, to be effective under the DMCA, notification of claims of copyright infringement by third parties must be a written communication to our agent that includes the following:
(a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright;
(b) a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has 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;
(c) 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 a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website;
(d) your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address;
(e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
(f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
See http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for current details.
If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may send us a counter-notice. We will not be liable to you under any circumstances for declining to replace material.
We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice, as there may be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.
Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Website should be sent to our Designated Agent:

You agree that: (i) the Website shall be deemed solely based in the District of Columbia; and (ii) the Website shall be deemed a passive website that does not give rise to personal jurisdiction over us, either specific or general, in jurisdictions other than the District of Columbia. All claims arising out of this Agreement or relating to this Website will be governed by the laws of the District of Columbia, USA, excluding the application of its conflicts of law rules.

No waiver of any term of these Terms of Use shall be deemed a further or continuing waiver of such term or any other term, and our failure to assert any right or provision under these Terms of Use shall not constitute a waiver of such right or provision. We reserve the right to amend these Terms of Use at any time and without notice, and it is your responsibility to review these Terms of Use for any changes. Your use of the Website following any amendment of these Terms of Use will signify your assent to and acceptance of its revised terms.
