If you materially misrepresent that any Materials or User Generated Content on the Website is infringing your intellectual property, you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees). If you are not sure whether the Materials or User Generated Content infringe upon your intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting KUsports.
