We do not create the pricing for any products or services offered by Providers on the Site, and we are not in any way responsible for the delivery of any goods or services purchased on the Site or in connection with the Site. Because the Company simply provides a lead generation platform to assist Prospects in conveniently gaining product and service offers, and in performing form fill requests to gain information, the Company cannot and does not make any guarantees whatsoever regarding the products and services offered on the Site. The Providers on the Site are solely responsible for the quality and safety of their products and services offered for sale, the truth and accuracy of their representations regarding such products and services, and their ability to deliver such products and services under the terms they advertise.

MinerBeast’s designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is Copyright Agent, 4747 Research Forest Drive, Suite 180, Box 225, The Woodlands, Texas 77381. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, requests and communications should be directed to MinerBeast’s customer service. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA notice may not be valid. In the event that you believe MinerBeast removed any of your Content in response to a false notice of copyright infringement, you should notify MinerBeast promptly in writing pursuant to the DMCA, at the mailing address provided above. Such notification should include: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; (iii) a statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and (iv) your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Texas, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. Furthermore, you should include a clear statement of your acceptance of process pertaining to the notifying party or the agent of the party as defined in DMCA § 512(c)(1)(C). If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, MinerBeast may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the Content provider or user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole and absolute discretion. MinerBeast has a policy of terminating the account of, or denying access or use of the Site to, in its sole and absolute discretion, any user who demonstrates a pattern of infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
