Review and Response to Complaints
Upon receipt of a copyright infringement notification, the company will evaluate the information and take the necessary action, based on the law and service policies.
Depending on the situation, the company may remove the content in question, notify the client/user who uploaded the content, request further information, or undertake other actions needed to handle the case.
In case a client repeatedly uploads content that infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others, the company may limit or prohibit further access to its service by the client, according to the law and agreements signed.
Notifying the company about the infringement does not necessarily mean that there is an infringement. Each notification will be evaluated in light of the information received and according to the law.
Counter Notifications
If your press release or other submitted content has been removed or disabled based on a copyright claim, and you think the removal of the content occurred due to an error or misidentification, you can file a counter notice provided that it is allowed by law.
A counter notice should contain:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Information about the content that was removed or disabled and its previous location.
- A statement declaring that, under penalty of perjury, if such procedure is necessary, the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, phone number, and email address.
- All needed statements authorizing the relevant court to have jurisdiction over the matter and accepting service of process from the original complainant or his/her agent.
We will consider your counter-notice in compliance with the applicable laws.
False or Misleading Claims
A copyright claim must be made in good faith. Intentionally making any materially false statements in your copyright notice or counter notice could expose you to civil liability for damages and costs. In cases where we find that a user is submitting knowingly infringing content multiple times, we may take appropriate action.
Copyright Ownership and Client Responsibility
It is the responsibility of the client to make sure that the press releases, images, graphics, logos, video footage, quotes, and any other information provided belong to the client, or have been provided with proper permission and authorization.
The submission of any materials by our client will not give us any ownership over such materials. Our clients continue to have all their rights in their original materials, but only based on the necessary permissions and licenses to provide distribution services.
We recommend our clients obtain the proper permission for third-party information before its submission for distribution.
