Except for certain public domain materials that are available for users to incorporate into Projects (where specifically indicated) (the “Public Domain Materials”), Bavel Blocks and its entire contents, features and functionality (including but not limited to all information, software, text, displays, images, video and audio, and the design, selection and arrangement thereof) are owned by the Company, its licensors or other providers of such material and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, patent, trade secret and other intellectual property or proprietary rights laws.  These Terms of Use permit you to use Bavel Blocks for your personal, non-commercial use only.

Your computer may temporarily store copies of such materials incidental to your accessing and viewing those materials in the form that they are provided to you via Bavel Blocks, and your Web browser may store files that are automatically cached for display enhancement purposes.  You must not otherwise reproduce, distribute, modify, create derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, republish, download, store or transmit any of the material on our Website, unless (1) you have obtained prior written permission from an authorized representative of the Company, or (2) otherwise specifically and expressly indicated by the Company in writing on the applicable page or pages where such materials are accessed.

  1. User Contributions.

Through Bavel Blocks, users and Members may create User Contributions.   Users who are not Members may create User Contributions on a limited basis; for example, users may create basic versions of games and similar interactive applications using only certain stock content and public domain materials provided by us, and with such User Contributions visible only to themselves.  Such User Contributions may be saved in the user’s private Bavel Blocks account and may be deleted at any time.  Members who have completed the Parental Activation process unlock additional Bavel Blocks content and functionality, such as the ability to (1) post User Contributions to publicly-accessible forums on Bavel Blocks, (2) publish User Contributions via Bavel Blocks for others to see and to use in turn, or (3) embed User-Provided Content from remote, third party sources into such Member’s User Contributions.

You may not upload to, store on, or transmit to Bavel Blocks any User-Provided Content—such User-Provided Content may only be embedded in your User Contributions using “in-line linking” or similar remote access functionality and only through the interactive features of Bavel Blocks in the form and manner specifically made available to you via Bavel Blocks.  You must own or control all rights in and to your User Contributions and any User-Provided Content, and all of your User Contributions and User-Provided Content must comply with the Content Standards set out in these Terms of Use.  You are prohibited from including any personally identifiable information about yourself or about any other person in any User Contributions you create prior to becoming a Member of Bavel Blocks and completing the Parental Activation process.

  1. Copyright Infringement / DMCA Policy.

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law.

If a copyright owner believes any materials accessible on or from Bavel Blocks infringe the copyright owner’s copyright, the copyright owner may request removal of those materials (or access thereto) from Bavel Blocks by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent (designated below).  In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512 et seq.) (“DMCA”), the written notice (the “DMCA Notice”) must include substantially the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or such copyright owner’s authorized agent;
  • Identification of the copyrighted work the copyright owner believes to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on Bavel Blocks, a representative list of such works;
  • Identification of the material the copyright owner believes to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material;
  • Adequate information by which we can contact the copyright owner (including name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address);
  • A statement that the copyright owner has a good-faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
  • A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate; and
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the person submitting the notice is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

The agent we have designated to receive DMCA Notices (the “Copyright Agent”) is: Barbara Walters, President; Telephone: nine-one-nine, three-eight-seven, one-zero-one-five; Mailing Address: 1029 Sunset Meadows Dr, Apex, North Carolina 27523; E-mail: [email protected].  If the copyright owner fails to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, the copyright owner’s DMCA Notice may not be effective.  Please be aware that if a copyright owner knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity on Bavel Blocks is infringing a copyright, the copyright owner may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

If you believe that material you posted on Bavel Blocks was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting written notification to the Copyright Agent.  Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • An identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled;
  • Adequate information by which we can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, e-mail address);
  • A statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
  • A statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which the Website may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided us with the complaint at issue.

The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter-Notice.  Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on Bavel Blocks was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users of Bavel Blocks who are repeat infringers.  We generally will treat a user as a repeat infringer if the user has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had a User Contribution or User-Provided Content removed from Bavel Blocks more than twice.
