Ownership and Restrictions on Use
The information and materials provided on or through the Site, including any data, text, designs, graphics, images, photographs, illustrations, podcasts, audio and video clips, logos, icons and links (collectively, the “Materials”), are intended to educate and inform you about the service, events and products offered or described on the Site. Subject to your compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, you may only download one (1) copy of any Materials displayed on the Site, and you may use such downloaded Materials solely for your personal, non-commercial use, provided that you retain all copyright and other proprietary notices contained therein. You may not engage in any unauthorized use, copying, or distribution of any of the Materials. For example, you may not otherwise reproduce, display, publicly perform, or distribute the Materials in any way for any public or commercial purpose. You may not alter or modify any part of the Site other than as may be reasonably necessary to use the Site for its intended purpose. Modification or use of the Materials for any purpose other than as expressly authorized in this Agreement is a violation of our copyright and other proprietary rights, and is strictly prohibited.
The Site, including but not limited to all Site databases, software, proprietary information and Materials (as we as any intellectual property and other rights relating thereto) in addition to the selection, sequence, “look and feel” and arrangement of items, is owned and operated by SSM in conjunction with others pursuant to contractual arrangements, and will remain the property of SSM and its licensors and suppliers. The Site is protected by U.S. and international copyright, trademark and other laws, and you acknowledge that these rights are valid and enforceable. You further acknowledge that you do not acquire any ownership rights by using the Site or the Materials.
Any trademarks, logos, and service marks displayed on the Site (collectively the “Trademarks”) are the registered and unregistered trademarks of SSM, SSM’s licensors and suppliers, and others. The Trademarks owned by SSM, whether registered or unregistered, may not be used in connection with any product or service that is not offered by SSM, in any manner that is likely to cause confusion with customers, or in any manner that disparages SSM. Nothing contained on the Site should be construed as granting, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, any license or right to use any Trademark without the express written permission of SSM, SSM’s licensors or suppliers, or the third-party owner of any such Trademark. Misuse of any Trademarks is prohibited, and SSM will enforce its intellectual property rights in such Trademarks, in (an) appropriate court(s).
Links
The Site may contain links to other Internet websites, including affiliated and/or third-party websites. Unless otherwise explicitly stated, SSM is not responsible for the content of such websites, any updates or changes to such sites, or the privacy or other practices of such sites, and the fact that SSM offers such links does not indicate any approval or endorsement of any material contained on any linked site. SSM provides these links to you only as a convenience. Accordingly, we strongly encourage you to become familiar with the privacy policy and terms of use of any linked site. Further, it is up to you to take precautions to ensure that whatever links you select or software you download (whether from the Site or other sites) is free of such items as viruses, worms, Trojan horses, defects, date bombs, time bombs and other items of a destructive nature.
YOU AGREE THAT YOUR USE OF OTHER INTERNET WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, YOUR USE OF ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, DATA, ADVERTISING, PRODUCTS, OR OTHER MATERIALS ON OR AVAILABLE THROUGH SUCH WEBSITES AND RESOURCES, IS AT YOUR OWN RISK AND IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF USE APPLICABLE TO SUCH SITES AND RESOURCES.
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 SSM infringe your copyright (for example, materials posted by SSM), 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) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; (b) 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); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow SSM to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number and email address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) 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 (f) 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. Additionally, if you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by SSM against you, the DMCA permits you to send SSM 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 Strategic Sports Marketing, LLC, 520 East Lancaster Avenue, Downingtown, PA 19335, (215) 206-2958, or at info@strategicsports.com. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Additionally, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

We make no representation that the Services or Materials available on or through the Site are appropriate or available for use in other locations. Those who choose to access the Site from other locations do so on their own initiative and at their own risk, and are responsible for compliance with local laws, if and to the extent local laws are applicable.
We reserve the right to limit the availability of the Site and/or the provision of any service, program, podcast, video or product described thereon to any person, geographic area or jurisdiction, at any time and in our sole discretion, and to limit the quantities of any such service, program, podcast, video or other product that we provide.
