We take the intellectual property rights of others seriously and require that our Users do the same. The DMCA established a process for addressing claims of copyright infringement that we have implemented for the Services. If you own a copyright or have authority to act on behalf of a copyright owner and want to report a claim that a third party is infringing that material on or through the Services, we will expeditiously take appropriate action once you send a notice to our copyright agent (see Section 8(c)) that includes all of the following: (i) a description of the copyrighted work or material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access to which you want disabled; (ii) the URL or other location of that material sufficient for us to locate the material; (iii) your address, telephone number, and email address; (iv) the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material I am complaining of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)”; (v) the following statement: “The information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed”; and (vi) an electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf. Your failure to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, may result in your DMCA Notice being ineffective. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Services is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

(b) Counter Notification Procedures.

If you believe that material you posted on the Services was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter notification with us (a “Counter Notice”) by submitting written notification to our copyright agent designated above. Pursuant to the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include all of the following: (i) a description of the copyrighted work or material you claim has been removed or to which access has been disabled; (ii) your address, telephone number, and email address; (iii) the following statement: “I have a good faith belief that material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled”; (iv) the following statement: “I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located (or any judicial district in which the Services may be found if my residence is outside the United States) and I will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided the Services with the complaint at issue”; and (v) your electronic or physical signature. The DMCA allows us to restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten business days of receiving the copy of your Counter Notice. Please be aware that if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity on the Services was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

You acknowledge, accept, and agree that if we receive a notice of a claim of copyright infringement, we may immediately remove the identified materials from our Services without liability to you or any other party and we will refer the claims of the Complaining Party to the United States Copyright Office for adjudication as provided in the DMCA.

(e) Repeat Infringers.

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who may be repeat infringers. This process does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.

(f) Preceding Procedure for Internal Use Only.

Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying us and our affiliates that you believe your copyrighted material has been infringed. The preceding requirements are intended to comply with our rights and obligations under the DMCA, including 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), but do not constitute legal advice. IT IS ADVISABLE TO CONTACT AN ATTORNEY REGARDING YOUR RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE DMCA AND OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS. Please forward any allegations that other intellectual property right is being infringed to dmca@beyondlightcreations.com. We may, in our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of those who are accused of copyright infringement or other intellectual property rights.
