4. DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT ("DMCA") NOTICE

In operating the sites, we may act as a "services provider" (as defined by DMCA) and offer services as online provider of materials and links to third party sites. As a result, third party materials that we do not own or control may be transmitted, stored, accessed or otherwise made available using the sites. If you believe any material available via the sites infringes a copyright, you should notify us using the notice procedure for 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. Our designated agent (i.e., proper party for notice) to whom you should address infringement notices under the DMCA is: Mike Gallagher, Publisher, PO Box 180, Vancouver, WA 98666-0180.

In some cases we partner with another company to co-promote their services within our Web sites. Some examples of these are: Hot Jobs, powered by Yahoo Hot Jobs; and Real estate powered by Pulse.com. In these cases, you are transacting directly with the other party. On those pages, the transactional partner's brand is clearly visible, and their terms of service are posted. When using these partner pages, you are bound by partner terms of service in addition to remaining bound by the Camas-Washougal Post-Record terms of service; when there is a conflict between Camas-Washougal Post-Record's terms of service and partner terms of service, the Camas-Washougal Post-Record terms of service shall be held as the primary, enforceable terms of service.
