Other
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 the U.S.
copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by
PMSI infringe your copyright, you, or your agent may send to PMSI a
notice requesting that the material be removed or access to it be
blocked. Any notification by a copyright owner or a person authorized
to act on its behalf that fails to comply with requirements of the
DMCA shall not be considered sufficient notice and shall not be
deemed to confer upon PMSI actual knowledge of facts or circumstances
from which infringing material or acts are evident. If you believe in
good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly
filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send to PMSI a
counter-notice. All notices and counter notices must meet the then
current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see
http://www.loc.gov/copyright for details. PMSI's
Copyright Agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement or
counter notices can be reached as follows:
Elsa
Gomez
3800
Waldo Ave.
Bronx,
NY 10463
DMCA@physiciansmarketingsolutions.com
It
is advisable to consult your legal advisor or council before filing a
notice or counter-notice. It should be noted that there can be
penalties for false claims under the DMCA
This
Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of PMSI and
our respective assigns, successors, heirs, and legal representatives.
I agree that neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be
assigned by me without the prior written consent of PMSI.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, all rights and obligations under this
Agreement may be freely assigned by PMSI to any affiliated entity or
any of its wholly owned subsidiaries
This
agreement constitutes the entire agreement between us and you with
respect to the subject matter contained in this agreement and
supersedes all previous and contemporaneous agreements, proposals and
communications, written oral. You also may be subject to additional
terms and conditions that may apply when you use the products or
services of a third party that are provided through the Site. In the
event of any conflict between any such third-party terms and
conditions and these Terms of Service, these Terms of Service shall
govern.
These
Terms of Use shall be governed by and construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any
principles of conflicts of law. If any provision of this agreement
shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, then that
provision shall be deemed severable from this agreement and shall not
affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions.
