Trust Navigator is committed to complying with U.S. copyright law
and expects all end users who access our web site including, without limitation,
all text, photographs, graphics, tables, equations, illustrations, artwork,
video, music, sound, names, logos, trademarks, service marks, and data
("Content"), including clients, accountants and money managers,
to do the same. The Digital Millenium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA")
provides recourse for owners of copyrighted material who believe that
their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed on the Internet.
Under the DMCA, copyright owners may contact the authorized agent of an
Internet service provider to report alleged infringements of their protected
works appearing on web pages hosted by the service provider. Upon receipt
of a properly filed complaint satisfying the requirements of the DMCA,
Trust Navigator will remove or block access to the allegedly infringing
material. If a person believes in good faith that a notice of copyright
infringement has been wrongly filed, such person may submit a counter-notice
to Trust Navigator.
If you believe that your copyrights have been infringed, or if a notice
of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you should seek
advice of legal counsel. We are providing the following information to
you for informational purposes only.
