Except as set forth herein, you agree not to copy, distribute, modify or make derivative works of any materials without the prior written consent of the owner of such materials. All rights not granted under these Terms are reserved by Hyatt.

Hyatt cannot advise yatt'it participants with respect to compliance with intellectual property and other laws. However, we ask you to be aware of the following -- it is a commonly held but very mistaken belief that materials posted on the Internet are automatically in the public domain. This is not correct. Except for official government documents, virtually all works of original authorship are protected by copyright regardless of the manner of publication or distribution, including online. Except under very limited circumstances constituting "fair use," you must get the copyright owner's permission before reproducing all or part of a copyrighted work.

It is the sole responsibility of each yatt'it participant to ensure that the materials she or he posts to yatt'it do not infringe or violate the intellectual property rights, publicity, privacy or other legal rights of others. Your postings will not be reviewed, screened or approved for such violations by Hyatt.

The Hyatt complies with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 17 U.S.C. Sec. 512. Pursuant to that Act, Hyatt will promptly remove posted materials in the event a copyright owner provides proper notification to us alleging that the posted materials constitute copyright infringement. If your postings are removed under this procedure, we will notify you and provide the opportunity for response as provided under the Act.

It is our policy not to permit materials known by us to infringe another party's copyright to remain on yatt'it. If you believe any materials on yatt'it infringe a copyright, you should provide us with written notice that at a minimum contains:

(i) A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(ii) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site;

(iii) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted;

(v) 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

(vi) 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.

All DMCA notices should be sent to our designated agent as follows:
