Take Down Procedure
The SITE implements the following \u201cnotification and takedown\u201d procedure upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. The SITE reserves the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any material or activity accessible on or from any SITE or any Materials claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. It is the firm policy of the SITE to terminate the account of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and the SITE will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another\u2019s copyright, according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. \u00a7512 of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (\u201cDMCA\u201d). The SITE\u2019s DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding paragraph. If the notice does not comply with \u00a7512 of the DMCA, but does comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing according to \u00a7512 of the DMCA, the SITE shall attempt to contact or take other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that party comply with the notice requirements. When the Designated Agent receives a valid notice, the SITE will expeditiously remove and\/or disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected user. Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent receives the counter-notification, it will replace the material at issue within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure
If the Recipient of a Notice of Claimed Infringement (\u201cNotice\u201d) believes that the Notice is erroneous or false, and\/or that allegedly infringing material has been wrongly removed in accordance with the procedures outlined above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2)&(3) of the DMCA. A counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a Notice. The information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against the SITE relating to the actions taken in response to the counter-notification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To submit a counter-notification, please provide Our Designated Copyright agent the following information:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Written notification containing the above information must be signed and sent to: atomicpete555 [at] gmail [dot] com<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Please do not send other inquires or information to our Designated Agent. Absent prior express permission, our Designated Agent is not authorized to accept or waive service of formal legal process, and any agency relationship beyond that required to accept valid DMCA Notices is expressly disclaimed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, Our Designated Copyright Agent will forward it to Us, and We will then provide the counter-notification to the claimant who first sent the original Notice identifying the allegedly infringing content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thereafter, within ten to fourteen (10-14) days of Our receipt of a counter-notification, We will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material provided that We or Our Designated Copyright Agent have not received notice that the original claimant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the Recipient from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the SITE\u2019s system or network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Service Provider Customers or Subscribers
In the event that the alleged infringer identified in an intended DMCA Notice is, itself, operating as a \u201cService Provider\u201d within the meaning of 17 U.S.C. \u00a7 512(k)(1), the SITE requests that any such DMCA Notices relating to alleged infringement by third party users, customers or subscribers of such service providers be submitted directly to the DMCA Agent designated by the service provider instead of the SITE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Modifications to Policy
The SITE reserves the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and all affected persons should regularly check back to stay current on any such changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Customer Service Requests
