You are advised to consult these Procedures regularly for any changes. Continued use of the site shall ipso facto mean that you have agreed and consented to the terms and policies of the website.

In response to your Notice, BBS may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and take such other actions as we deem appropriate in our sole discretion. Please bear in mind that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that a material is infringing.

If we remove or disable access, we will attempt to contact the infringer (if not BBS) of the allegedly infringing material so that the infringer may provide a counter notification (the “Counter Notice”) as described hereunder.
