MISCELLANEOUS. You acknowledge that any breach, threatened or actual, of this TOS will cause irreparable injury to ATD, such injury would not be quantifiable in monetary damages, and ATD would not have an adequate remedy at law. You therefore agree that ATD shall be entitled, in addition to other available remedies, to seek and be awarded an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief from a court of competent jurisdiction restraining any breach, threatened or actual, of your obligations under any provision of this TOS.

If any provision (or part thereof) contained in this TOS is determined to be void, invalid, or otherwise unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction or on account of a conflict with an applicable government regulation, such determination shall not affect the remaining provisions (or parts thereof) contained herein and the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable clause shall be modified in compliance with applicable law in a manner that most closely matches the intent of the original language. No joint venture, partnership, employment, or agency relationship exists between you and ATD as result of this TOS or your utilization of the ATD Resource Center.

In the event of any conflict between this TOS and the ATD Resource Center Activation Order Form, the ATD Resource Center Activation Order shall control. Unless otherwise agreed to by ATD, please note that ATD reserves the right to change the terms and conditions of this TOS and the manner under which the ATD Resource Center (and its functionality) is extended to you by providing you notice or a copy of such revised terms. ATD may also change or modify any aspect of the ATD Resource Center.
The Association for Talent Development (“ATD,” also identified herein as “we” or “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects others to do the same. Accordingly, it is ATD's policy to respond to a notice of alleged infringement that complies with U.S. Copyright Law, and in particular, the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 (the “DMCA”). If you (with end users, claimants, or visitors identified herein as “You”) believe that any materials made accessible by ATD have been used or copied in a way that infringes Your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, You may request removal of those materials from the ATD website or any other digital properties owned and operated by ATD (referred to collectively as the “Website”) by providing written notice to ATD’s designated agent as specified below along with the following information:
FAILURE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY SPECIFIC URLS WHERE CONTENT MAY BE FOUND, WILL RESULT IN A DELAY IN THE PROCESSING OF YOUR DMCA NOTIFICATION AND MAY RESULT IN YOU HAVING TO REPEAT SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE PROCESS. ATD WILL NOT TAKE RESPONSIVE ACTION TO REMOVE CONTENT UNTIL ALL OF THE NECESSARY INFORMATION IS PROVIDED.
Notice And Takedown. If ATD receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, it will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing, as described below, or to be the subject of infringing activity. ATD will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter-notification is received, as further described below. In addition, ATD may, at its discretion, deny access to its Website by disablement and/or termination of accounts.

Copyright Counter-Notices. If ATD terminates or suspends Your access to or use of the Website, ATD will make a good-faith attempt (as warranted) to contact You so that You may make a counter notification pursuant to applicable laws. It is ATD's policy to document all notices of alleged infringement upon which ATD decides to take action. If content You posted on the Website was removed due to a claim(s) of copyright or intellectual property infringement and You would like to dispute that removal, the process for counter-notifications is governed by Section 512(g) of the DMCA:
Elements of Counter-Notification. To expedite our ability to process Your counter-notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):
After we receive Your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it may include any of Your identifying information set forth in the counter-notification. By submitting a counter-notification, You therefore consent to having such identifying information revealed in this way.
After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain You from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Website. If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the items. If we do not receive such notification, we may, but are not obligated to, reinstate the disputed item(s).
Foreign Counter-Notification. If You reside outside of the United States, please understand that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between You and the complaining party to determine ownership. Therefore, please be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in Your country and/or the United States of America if You make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process. Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of users who are infringers. So, if You are not sure whether content You posted on the Website is being infringed, or are otherwise unsure of whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we recommend You first contact a lawyer knowledgeable in the laws of the United States. If You do wish to file a counter-notice, You should follow the process set forth above under the heading “Elements of Counter-Notification.”
