I. General Statement of SNET Internet's Policy. It is the policy of SNET Internet to respect all copyrights, trademarks, servicemarks and patents owned by third parties and to respond appropriately when SNET Internet becomes aware that infringing materials, or materials which violate other third party rights, may be present on the SNET Internet Web site (the "SNET Web Site") or on SNET Internet's Internet access and/or hosting servers (the "SNET Servers").

If you believe that certain materials (individually or collectively the "Identified Materials") on the SNET Web Site or the SNET Servers may (i) infringe your intellectual property rights, (ii) defame you, (iii) violate your privacy rights, (iv) violate your right of publicity, or (v) violate any other rights you may have, and you desire to have such Identified Materials removed from the SNET Web Site or SNET Servers, you need to comply with the following:

1. First you must provide SNET Internet and the posting party with a detailed description of the Identified Materials, including its location on SNET's Web Site or the SNET Servers.
2. Next, you are required to formally request the posting party to remove the Identified Materials, pending SNET Internet's investigation.

   (d) a signed statement, sworn by you under penalty of perjury, that the Identified Materials violate a specified right of yours, and that the use of the Identified Materials is not defensible.
