COPYRIGHT POLICY

Last Updated: September 27, 2012

It is our policy to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement on the Player’s Life® website or on Play4Fun Network™ applications. This page describes the information that should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices of alleged infringement to WMS Gaming Inc. (“WMS” or “we” or “us”) as straightforward as possible while reducing the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent with the form suggested by the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov), but we will respond to notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.

Regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under local country law or United States law, our response to these notices may include removing or disabling access to material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating user accounts. If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the affected user so that they may make a counter notification.

Copyright Infringement Notification

To file a notice of infringement with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below. If you are not sure whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed upon (for example: "The copyrighted work at issue is “Robots” by John Smith, U.S. Copyright Registration No. 1111111111").
2. YOU MUST IDENTIFY (a) the SPECIFIC URL (for example: http://www.playerslife.com/forums/messageid11223344) where the allegedly infringing material can be found, and (b) the SPECIFIC content at such URL that is the allegedly infringing material. Please indicate whether the allegedly infringing material is an image, video, text, or other material.
3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit WMS to contact you (email address is preferred).
4. Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit WMS to notify the user responsible for posting the allegedly infringing materials (email address is preferred).
5. Include the following statement: "I have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted materials described above as allegedly infringing is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
6. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
7. Sign the paper.
8. Send the written communication to the following address:

WMS Gaming Inc.

Counter-Notification

A user responsible for posting allegedly infringing content may make a Counter-Notification to a Copyright Infringement Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. When we receive a Counter-Notification, we may reinstate the material in question.

To file a Counter-Notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below. Please note that you will be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that material posted by you is not infringing the copyrights of others. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

To expedite our ability to process your Counter-Notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):

1. Identify the SPECIFIC URL (for example: http://www.playerslife.com/forums/messageid11223344) or other unique identifying information of material that WMS has removed or to which WMS has disabled access.
2. Provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Chicago, Illinois if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
3. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled, or that the material identified by the complainant has been removed or disabled at the URL identified and will no longer be shown."

Account Termination

Some Player’s Life and Play4Fun Network services do not require registration. For services that do, WMS will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat infringers and/or block such infringers’ IP addresses from access to the services. If you believe that a Player’s Life registered user is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions above to contact WMS’ DMCA agent and provide information sufficient for us to verify that the registered user is a repeat infringer. For more information regarding account or use termination, please refer to the Terms of Use Agreement.
