- Since the Company is not in a position to determine who has the prevailing claim to use any particular User Content, its policy on such matters is that they be resolved directly by the parties alleging misuse of their Intellectual Property Rights (the “Complainants”) and the Registered User(s) allegedly responsible for the infringement of the Complainant’s Intellectual Property Rights.
