Contact Information
for the “Designated Agent”
As a provider of online services or listing and information
access through its website, the Company is a “service provider” within the
meaning of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Congress passed the Act and it became law in
1998
In order to qualify for the protections afforded under the
Act, MLS PIN has named a “Designated Agent” whose function it is to receive
notifications of any claim that materials appearing on the Company’s multiple
listing service website violate a third party’s copyright.
Here is the contact information for the Designated Agent
which MLS PIN already has provided to the United States Copyright Office and is
now pleased to provide to you:
