11.7. Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation (other than your payment obligations to us) under the Terms if the delay or failure is due to unforeseen events, which occur after the effectiveness of the Terms and which are beyond the reasonable control of the parties, such as strikes, blockade, war, terrorism, riots, natural disasters, refusal of license by the government or other governmental agencies, in so far as such an event prevents or delays the affected party from fulfilling its obligations and such party is not able to prevent or remove the force majeure at reasonable cost.

5. your name, address, telephone number and email address; and

Please consult your legal advisor before filing a notice, noting there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.
