Notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement must be sent to Very Asian's licensing team:

Attention: Copyright/Trademark Licensing Team
Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying Very Asian of claims that your copyrighted material or other intellectual property has been infringed.
We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who (in our reasonable discretion) are repeat infringers.
It is often difficult to determine if your intellectual property rights have been violated or if the DMCA requirements have been met. We may request additional information before we remove any infringing material. If a dispute develops as to the correct owner of the rights in question, we reserve the right to remove your content along with that of the alleged infringer pending resolution of the matter.
Very Asian will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third-party complaint of an alleged infringement of the third party's intellectual property rights.

Very Asian may assign its rights and duties under these Terms to any party at any time without any notice to you. These Terms may not be assigned by you without Very Asian's prior written consent. If any provision of these Terms will be unlawful, void, or for any reason unenforceable, then that provision will be deemed severable from these Terms and will not affect the validity and enforceability of any remaining provisions. The Section titles are inserted only as a matter of convenience and have no legal or contractual effect. You agree that these Terms will not be construed against Very Asian by virtue of having drafted them.
