Identifyy copyright policy

 

HAAWK, Inc., d/b/a “Identifyy”, and its related companies (collectively, “Identifyy”) respects the copyrights of others and expects its users to do the same.  In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act as embodied in 17 U.S.C. 512 (the “DMCA”) (See: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512 ), Identifyy will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to material that is claimed to infringe copyrighted material or to be the subject of activity that infringes copyrighted material and was posted online using Identifyy.

DMCA Notification of Claimed Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright that is allegedly infringed, please notify Identifyy of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and was posted online using Identifyy by completing a DMCA notification of claimed infringement (the “Notification”) and delivering it to Identifyy’s designated copyright agent (the “Copyright Agent”) as described below.  It is important to emphasize that you should only submit a Notification if you own or control the copyrighted material that is claimed to be infringing because under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

To be effective, the Notification must be a written communication provided to the Copyright Agent that includes substantially all of the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works, a representative list of such works;

  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, AND information reasonably sufficient to permit Identifyy to locate the material;

  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Identifyy to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted;

  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;

Upon receipt of a valid Counter Notification, Identifyy will promptly forward it to the Claimant and inform the Claimant that Identifyy will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it unless the Claimant notifies Identifyy’s Copyright Agent within ten (10) business days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity with regard to the material posted online by you using Identifyy (the “Lawsuit”).

If Identifyy receives notification that the Claimant has filed the Lawsuit, it will be unable to replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

If Identifyy does not receive such notification, Identifyy will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Identifyy’s Copyright Agent first receives notification that the Claimant has filed the Lawsuit.

Please note that when Identifyy forwards the Counter Notification to the Claimant it will include your personal information.  By submitting a Counter Notification, you consent to having your information revealed in this way.  Identifyy will not forward a Counter Notification to any party other than the Claimant.
