Sweet Potato Salad respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Sweet Potato Salad will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Sweet Potato Salad service and/or the Sweet Potato Salad website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to Sweet Potato Salad's Designated Copyright Agent identified below.
