Copyright / DMCA Policy

1Infringement notices

A copyright owner or authorized agent may submit a written notice containing the following information:

• a physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed;
• identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list where multiple works at a single online site are covered;
• identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, such as the specific Entry URL;
• contact information reasonably sufficient to reach the notifying party, including an address, telephone number, and, if available, email address;
• a statement of good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law; and
• a statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the notifying party is authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

A complaint must take account of legally authorized uses, including applicable copyright exceptions. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a knowing material misrepresentation may result in liability. Upon receipt of an effective notice, Auxerta will act expeditiously to remove or disable access where required and take reasonable steps to notify the affected User.

Notices and counter-notices must be submitted in writing. A telephone inquiry does not substitute for the required written statements. Auxerta may provide a notice or counter-notice, including the contact information it contains, to the affected User, claimant, or their representative as reasonably necessary to administer the process or comply with law.

3Counter-notices

A User who believes material was removed or disabled through mistake or misidentification may submit a written counter-notice containing:

• the User’s physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material and its location before removal or disabling;
• a statement under penalty of perjury of the User’s good-faith belief that removal or disabling resulted from mistake or misidentification; and
• the User’s name, address, and telephone number; consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district containing that address, or, for an address outside the United States, any judicial district in which Auxerta may be found; and agreement to accept service of process from the original notifying party or that party’s agent.

Where the statutory counter-notice procedure applies, Auxerta will provide the counter-notice to the original notifying party and follow the restoration procedure under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), including the applicable ten-to-fourteen-business-day period, unless it receives notice of an action seeking a court order restraining the disputed activity. Restoration remains subject to independent lawful grounds for restricting the material under the Terms. A counter-notice cannot restore material already erased under an independently applicable deletion or retention rule.

Auxerta may suspend or terminate Accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may restrict content or Accounts on other grounds permitted by the Terms and applicable law. Auxerta accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures to the extent required by 17 U.S.C. § 512.
