19. 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 transmitted through the Website infringe Your copyright, You (or Your agent) may send SavvyMoney a notice requesting that SavvyMoney remove the material or block access to it. Please provide the following information: (i) an electronic or physical signature of the owner (or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner) of the copyrighted work; (ii) a description of the copyrighted work that You claim has been infringed upon and sufficient information for SavvyMoney to locate such copyrighted work; (iii) information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the copyrighted work; (iv) Your address, telephone number, and e-mail address; (v) 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 (vi) 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.

If You believe in good faith that someone has wrongly filed a notice of copyright infringement against You, the DMCA permits You to send SavvyMoney a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. Notices and counter-notices should be sent to:
