Copyright Policy
Companies respect the Intellectual Property of others. It is our policy to respond expeditiously to legitimate claims of copyright and other Intellectual Property infringement. We will promptly process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA“) and other applicable Intellectual Property laws. Upon receipt of notices complying or substantially complying with the DMCA, we may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and may act expeditiously to remove or disable access to any reference or link to material or activity that is claimed to be infringing. We may terminate access for Users of the Services who are infringers. We reserve the right to remove Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you. Inappropriate circumstances, The Companies will also terminate a User’s account if the User is determined to be a repeat infringer.
Notifying The Companies of Copyright Infringement
To provide The Companies with notice of an infringement, you must provide a written communication to the attention of “DMCA Notification Department” at the companies email address that sets forth the information specified by the DMCA (which may be available at http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is infringing your copyright.
We must receive the following information from you:
1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other Intellectual Property interest;
2. A description of the copyrighted work or other Intellectual Property that you claim has been infringed;
3. A detailed description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located or found on the Services;
4. Your address, telephone number, and email address;
5. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or Intellectual Property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or Intellectual Property owner’s behalf.
Providing The Companies with Counter-Notification
If we remove or disable access to content in response to an infringement notice, we may make reasonable attempts to contact the owner or administrator of the affected content. If your material has been removed and you feel that your material does not constitute infringement, you may provide us with a counter-notification by written communication to the attention of “DMCA Counter-Notification Department” at the company email address that sets forth all of the necessary information required by the DMCA (which may be available at http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512). Please note that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that an activity is not infringing the copyrights of others. If you are uncertain whether an activity constitutes infringement, we recommended seeking the advice of an attorney.
