5.1 DMCA PolicyCodementum respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects you to do the same. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on this site, you may notify our designated copyright agent, as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) (such act may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf. Upon receipt of such notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the web site or any Service. For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide us with the following information when providing notice of the claimed copyright infringement:
1. Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (or a preventative list of the copyrighted works – if multiple copyrighted works are the subject matter of such notice).
2. Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed.
3. Include the following statements:
a. “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
b. “I hereby state that the information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of, the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
4. Provide your company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
5. Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed by Codementum against you, the
DMCA permits you to send Codementum a counter- notice. If a counter-notice is received by Codementum, we may send a copy of the counter- notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against Codementum or the person who has posted allegedly infringing content, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice.
Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.copyright.gov for details.
