Counter-Notification Procedure

Whilst we endeavour to protect the rights of copyright holders, we also give our users the chance to make their counter to whatever claims made against them that caused removal of supposed infringed material from the website. They will also be accorded their right to obtain in a timely manner, sufficient proof tantamount to their authorised use of the said removed material. A corresponding counter-notification will be required and such shall include the following:

• A statement pertaining to the disabled account that was taken down due to the notice filed by the complainant;
• Information explaining all necessary data about the removed material including those that will help with identification of the said material with the URL of the webpages where the said material was located before it was removed;
• A statement that includes facts that said user is in good faith when he believes that the material has been removed by misidentification or mistake;
• Contact details including user name, telephone number and address;
• User's physical or electronic signature;
• A statement containing the user's consent to the Federal District's court of jurisdiction in the judicial district where his address is located. For addresses outside the US, the consent shall be given for the judicial district where the service provider can be found.

The counter-notification must be sent to the Company's address via the email address or mailing address specified in the preceding section. The Company will respond to any valid counter-notification between 10 and 14 business days.

In Cases Where Users Are Accused of Repeat Infringement

Users, at any cost, are not allowed to use data that is not authorised by the copyright owner. They should not change, display, perform or distribute any work that does not belong to them unless there is an authorisation coming from the owners. Once our Company receives a valid notification indicating that users have used an infringing material, access to such material will be immediately disabled at all cost. User's access will likewise be terminated.

Additionally, we will be forced to deactivate user's sharing function. Users will be notified via their registered email regarding the actions the Company has taken as a reply to the take-down notification received from the complaining party. Users will be notified that the violation, whether first time or a repeat infringement, will be placed on record. Repeat Infringement will result to termination policies using the “three-strike” rule.

The user is given the option to reactivate his account with the Us once he gives a certification stating he has already worked on removing infringed material found in his account with the website. Such certification will only be honoured if it contains the ample electronic signature choice through our website.
