NOTICE TO CALIFORNIA RESIDENTS
Pursuant to California Civil Code Section 1798.83, residents of the State of California have the right to request from companies conducting business in California a list of all third parties to which the company has disclosed certain categories of personal information during the preceding year for the third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and the categories of personal information the company shares. Alternatively, the law provides that a company may comply, as BLUNTIQ does, by disclosing in its privacy policy that it provides consumers choice (opt-out or opt-in) regarding sharing personal information with third parties for those third parties’ direct marketing purposes, and information on how to exercise that choice. As stated below in this Privacy Policy, BLUNTIQ provides you choice prior to sharing your personal information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes. If you do not opt-in or if you do not choose to opt-out at the time BLUNTIQ offers that choice, BLUNTIQ does not share your information with that identified third party for its direct marketing purposes.
If you are a California resident and you have questions about our practices with respect to sharing information with third parties for their direct marketing purposes and your ability to exercise choice, please send your request to the following email address: info@bluntiq.com or write to us at the following mailing address: 5815 Franklin Ave, Los Angeles, CA 90028, Attn: Privacy/Legal Department. You must put the statement “Your California Privacy Rights” in the subject field of your e-mail or include it in your writing if you choose to write to us at the designated mailing address. You must include your name, street address, city, state, and zip code. We are not responsible for notices that are not labeled or sent properly, or do not have complete information. Please note that we are only required to respond to one request per customer each year.
For more information about our privacy practices, including when your information may be shared with third parties for purposes other than the direct marketing use by third parties, please review our full privacy policy below.

6. CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT AND OTHER INTERLLECTUAL PROPERTY VIOLATIONS
You may not use BLUNTIQ Websites for any purpose or in any manner that infringes the rights of any third party. BLUNTIQ encourages you to report any content on the Website that you believe infringes your rights. Only the intellectual property rights owner or person authorized to act on behalf of the owner can report potentially infringing content. If you have a good faith belief that content on the Sites infringe your copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights, please follow the procedures set forth below.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), BLUNTIQ has a designated agent for receiving notices of copyright infringement and BLUNTIQ follows the notice and take down procedures of the DMCA.

or
Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying BLUNTIQ of claims that your copyrighted material or other intellectual property has been infringed.
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.
BLUNTIQ will provide you with notice if your materials have been removed based on a third party complaint of alleged infringement of the third party’s intellectual property rights.
