How to Submit a Notice of Claimed Infringement

To be effective, your notice must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works.
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or access to which you want disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so we can contact you.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Send your notice to the designated agent listed above. Please note that under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material of yours was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. To be effective, it must include substantially all of the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Buddy Punch may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of that person.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days following receipt, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the original complaining party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

We will promptly forward the counter notification to whoever sent the original notice, and that this means their contact information goes to that person.

We will notify the account holder when we disable access to a file.

Repeat Infringer Policy

Buddy Punch maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of subscribers who are repeat copyright infringers. We log the notices we receive on a per-account basis and may suspend or terminate an account that is the subject of repeated valid notices of claimed infringement.
