Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice and Takedown Procedures
PuntList LLC ("PuntList") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of PuntList.com ("the Platform") to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and are properly submitted to our designated agent.
If you believe that content on the Platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include all of the following:
(a) A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
(b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
(c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including the specific URL(s) or other information sufficient for us to locate the material on the Platform.
(d) Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
(e) 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.
(f) A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, PuntList will: (a) promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material; (b) notify the user who posted the content that the material has been removed or disabled; (c) provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice and inform them of their right to file a counter-notification.
If you believe your content was removed in error or is not infringing, you may submit a written counter-notification to our designated agent. Your counter-notification must include:
(a) Your physical or electronic signature.
(b) Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed.
(c) A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
(d) Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, the judicial district in which PuntList is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complainant and inform them that we may restore the removed content in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking a restraining order against the user, PuntList will restore the content between 10 and 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification.
In accordance with the DMCA, PuntList will terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. If you receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices, your account may be suspended or permanently terminated at PuntList's sole discretion.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly makes material misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter-notification may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Do not file a DMCA notice or counter-notification unless you are certain that your claim is valid.
The DMCA applies to copyright infringement only. If you believe a review is defamatory, false, or otherwise objectionable but does not involve copyright infringement, please use our dispute process or contact [email protected] instead.
