Our mission is to give our members well written, up-to-date, trustworthy and

needs.

We take prudent steps to ensure we do not provide false and/or misleading

such as healthy living. Articles on specific health related topics, such as
diabetes, smoking cessation and fitness, are based on information available on
our Health Tools website, and as needed other sources, such as www.cdc.gov.

and are dated on the contents pages. Health-related information is dated and has
source identification. Articles in the online newsletter and other information
on the Web site, may be written by various individuals. Where appropriate, we

regardless of the authorship, we cannot guarantee the accuracy of the
information.

16. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Notice:

BCBSA is committed to complying with copyright and related laws, and requires
all users of the Site to comply with these laws. You may not store, post,
modify, distribute, reproduce in any way, use or disseminate any material or
content though the Site in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third
party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by copyright law.

Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under copyright law
have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) to report alleged infringements.
BCBSA does not, and will not, make any legal decisions about the validity of
your claim of infringement or the possible defenses to a claim. Upon our receipt
of a proper notice of claimed infringement under the DMCA, we will respond
expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material claimed to be
infringing and will follow the procedures specified in the DMCA to resolve the
claim between the notifying party and the alleged infringer who provided the
content in issue. BCBSA may contact the notice provider to request additional
information. BCBSA reserves the right to disregard a notice that is not in
compliance with the DMCA. Under the DMCA, BCBSA is required to take reasonable
steps to notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing content. If you
believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly
filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and
counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the
DMCA. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to the
address below.

If you are uncertain whether particular material infringes a copyright held by
you or a third party, you should contact an attorney. Anyone making a false or
fraudulent notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages under the DMCA,
including costs and attorneys' fees.

To be effective, your Notification of Claimed Infringement must be in writing,
sent to our designated agent listed below and contain the following information:

 1. 1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on
    behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property
    interest;
 2. 2. A description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that
    you claim has been infringed;
 3. 3. A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is
    located to permit us to locate the material;
 4. 4. Your contact information, including your name, address, telephone number,
    and email address;
 5. 5. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed
    use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its
    agent, or the law; and
 6. 6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information
    contained in your report is accurate and that you are the copyright or
    intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or
    intellectual property owner's behalf.

 

BCBSA’s designated agent for notice of claims of copyright infringement can be
reached as follows:

By E-Mail: dmca@bcbsa.com with the subject line “DMCA”
