DMCA Counter-Notice of Alleged Infringement
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright holder, the holder’s agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a Counter-Notice containing the following information to Point Design’s Copyright Agent:
-
Your physical or electronic signature.
-
Identification of the content that was removed or to which access has been disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.
-
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Sheridan, Wyoming, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If a Counter-Notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Point Design 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 Point Design 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.
Point Design Policy Regarding Repeat Infringers
Point Design does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of Point Design or of others. Point Design reserves the right to terminate the access and/or use privileges of any person who has been determined to be a ‘repeat infringer’ of the copyrights of Point Design or others. Point Design reserves the right to define the criteria by which Point Design will determine that a person is a ‘repeat infringer.’ In the event that ‘repeat infringer’ is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 USC § 512, Point Design will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting Point Design’s right to define ‘repeat infringer,’ as a general rule, Point Design will define a ‘repeat infringer’ as any person or entity about whom Point Design has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. Point Design will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not termination of access and/or use privileges of a ‘repeat infringer’ is appropriate.
Regardless of whether Point Design terminates access and/or use privileges of any person or entity, ‘repeat infringer’ or otherwise, Point Design in no way waives any right to pursue any available remedy at law or in equity against copyright infringers or any other intellectual property rights violators, nor will Point Design indemnify or provide legal representation to any alleged infringer in any action arising from the alleged infringer’s use of any Point Design website or service, except as expressly described in this notice.
