11. 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 U.S. copyright law. If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by Fashion infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information:
- a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);
- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow Fashion to locate the material on the Site;
- the name, address, telephone number, and email address (if available) of the complaining party;
- a statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send Fashion a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details.
Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to Legal Department, BeeHive Content Works, LLC, 1338 South Foothill Drive, Suite 155 Salt Lake City, UT 84108. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
12. MISCELLANEOUS

Except with our prior written consent, you may not assign your rights or obligations under these Terms in whole or in part to any other party, whether directly or by operation of law, and any attempt at such an assignment without our prior written consent shall be void and of no legal effect.
Any waiver of these Terms by us will be effective only if it is in writing and signed by Fashion. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided herein, no remedy made available to us hereunder is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy provided hereunder or available at law or in equity.
