Copyright Dispute Policy
Effective Date: August 17, 2015
In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), Teeisis has established the following policy to address copyright violations. We reserve the right to:
Block access to, or remove, any material that we in good faith believe to be copyrighted content unlawfully copied or distributed by advertisers, partners, content providers, members, or users; and
Suspend or terminate services for users who are repeat offenders.
Please note that your use of Teeisis Services is always governed by our Terms of Service, which include this Copyright Dispute Policy. Any terms used in this Policy without definition carry the meaning assigned in the Terms of Service.
How to Report Copyright Infringement
If you believe that any material available on or through our Services infringes your copyright (or that of someone you are authorized to represent), you must send a copyright infringement notice to our Designated Agent (contact information provided below). Your notice must include the following details:
A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
Identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed;
Identification of the allegedly infringing material, including details that allow Teeisis to locate and verify the content;
A statement confirming that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, their agent, or the law;
Contact information for the complaining party, including address, telephone number, and if possible, email address;
A declaration, made under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to file the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
Action Following a Valid Infringement Notice
Once Teeisis’s Designated Agent receives a proper DMCA notice, we may:
Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material;
Inform the content provider that their material has been removed or access to it has been restricted;
Terminate the content provider’s access to the Services if they are a repeat violator.
How to File a Counter-Notice
If you believe that your content was removed (or disabled) in error, or that you have the legal right to post and use such material (through the copyright owner, an agent, or under the law), you may submit a counter-notice to the Designated Agent. Your counter-notice must include:
A physical or electronic signature of the content provider;
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, along with its prior location;
A statement asserting your good faith belief that the removal or disabling of the content was due to mistake or misidentification;
Your name, address, phone number, and, if available, email address; plus a statement confirming that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district where you reside. If you live outside the United States, you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district where Teeisis is located, and you agree to accept legal service from the original complaining party.
If a valid counter-notice is received, Teeisis may, at its discretion, forward a copy to the original complainant to inform them that the removed content may be restored within 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed material may be reinstated or access restored within 10–14 business days (or longer), at Teeisis’s discretion.
