infringing materials and for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users of our Game
who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights.
16.1. DMCA Notices. If you are a copyright owner or an agent of a copyright owner and believe
that any content in the Game infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification
pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") by contacting our Copyright Agent at:
legal@animalcompanyvr.com
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA
notice may not be valid. You must provide the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)
(3) for further detail):
(a) An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of
the copyright or other right being infringed;

claim has been infringed;

(e) A statement by you that the above information in your notice is accurate and that, under
penalty of perjury, you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the
copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.
We will remove infringing materials pursuant to valid DMCA notices as required by the DMCA.
Please note that, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a
written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs
and attorney's fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of
copyright infringement.
16.2. Counter-Notices. Regarding any content that was removed or disabled, if you believe that
your content is not infringing or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the
copyright owner’s agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you
may send a counter-notice to our Copyright Agent. Your counter-notice must include all the
following information:
(a) The material alleged to be infringing, including its location.
(b) A statement by you declaring under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that
the material at issue was either misidentified or mistakenly removed.
(c) Your name, address, email address, physical address and telephone number.
(d) One of the following two statements:
(i) If you are located within the United States: “I consent to the jurisdiction of the
United States federal district court for the judicial district in which my address is located and
will accept service of process from the person who provided the notice set forth above or their agent.”
(ii) If you are located outside of the United States: “I consent to the jurisdiction of any
United States federal district court where Wooster Games is located and will accept service of process from the person who provided the notice set forth above or their agent.
(e) Your physical or electronic signature.
If your counter-notice does not meet all of the above requirements, it will not be valid. As with
DMCA Notices, making false statements in connection with a counter-notice may result in criminal
or civil penalties.
When our Copyright Agent receives a counter-notice, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to
the original complaining party informing that party that we may, in 10 business days, replace the
removed content or stop disabling it. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court
order against the provider of the content, the removed content may be replaced or access to it
restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, in our sole discretion.
16.3 Repeat Infringer Policy. Our intellectual property policy is to: (i) remove or disable
access to material that we believe in good faith, upon notice from an intellectual property rights
owner or his or her agent, is infringing the intellectual property rights of a third party by being
made available through the Service; and (ii) in appropriate circumstances, to terminate the
accounts of and block access to the Service by any user who repeatedly or egregiously infringes
other people’s copyrights or other intellectual property rights.
