DMCA policy
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy (“Policy”)
applies to the www.gozoner.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its
related products and services (collectively, “Services”) and outlines how Gozoner
LLC (“Gozoner LLC”, “we”, “us” or “our”) addresses copyright infringement
notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement
complaint.
Protection of intellectual property is of utmost
importance to us and we ask our users and their authorized agents to do the
same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of
alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at
the U.S. Copyright Office website.
What to consider before submitting a
copyright complaint
Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider
whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use states that brief
excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted
verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and
research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright
holder. If you have considered fair use, and you still wish to continue with a
copyright complaint, you may want to first reach out to the user in question to
see if you can resolve the matter directly with the user.
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be
liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or
our users, if you knowingly misrepresent that the material or activity is
infringing. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is in fact
infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification
with us.
We may, at our discretion or as required by law, share a
copy of your notification or counter-notification with third parties. This may
include sharing the information with the account holder engaged in the
allegedly infringing activity or for publication. If you are concerned about
your information being forwarded, you may wish to hire an agent to report
infringing material for you.
Notifications of infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and
you believe that any material available on our Services infringes your
copyrights, then you may submit a written copyright infringement notification
(“Notification”) using the contact details below pursuant to the DMCA by
providing us with the following information:
• Identification
of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple
copyrighted works are covered by this Notification, you may provide a
representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been
infringed.
• Identification
of the infringing material and information you claim is infringing (or the
subject of infringing activity), including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL
or URLs of the web pages where the allegedly infringing material may be found.
• Information
reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address,
telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
• 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, the copyright
owner’s agent, or the law.
• A
statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under
penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• A
physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the
copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
All such Notifications must comply with the DMCA
requirements. You may refer to a DMCA takedown notice generator or other
similar services to avoid making mistakes and ensure compliance with your
Notification.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the start of a pre-defined
legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and
completeness. If your complaint has satisfied these requirements, our response
may include the removal or restriction of access to allegedly infringing
material as well as a permanent termination of repeat infringers’ accounts.
If we remove or restrict access to materials or
terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we
will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information
concerning the removal or restriction of access, which may include a full copy
of your Notification (including your name, address, phone, and email address),
along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any portion of this Policy, Gozoner LLC reserves the right to take no action
upon receipt of a DMCA copyright infringement notification if it fails to
comply with all the requirements of the DMCA for such notifications.
Counter-notifications
A user who receives a copyright infringement
Notification may make a counter-Notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and
(3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive a copyright infringement
Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been
removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please
take the time to read through the Notification, which includes information on
the Notification we received as well as instructions on how to file
counter-notifications.
To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide
a written communication that sets out the information specified in the list
below:
• Identification
of the material that has been removed or to which access has been restricted
and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access
to it was restricted.
• Information
reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address,
telephone number, and, if available, an e-mail address.
• A
statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the
material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification
of the material to be removed or restricted.
• A
statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court
for the judicial district in which the address is located (or if you are
outside of the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any
judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you
will accept service of process from the person or company who provided the
original infringement notification.
• A physical
or electronic signature (typing your full name will suffice) of the copyright
owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
Please note that you may be liable for, including costs
and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly misrepresent
that the material or activity is not infringing the copyrights of others or
that the material or activity was removed or restricted by mistake or
misidentification. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material
infringes the copyrights of others or that the material or activity was removed
or restricted by mistake or misidentification, you may wish to contact an
attorney before filing a counter-notification.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in
any portion of this Policy, Gozoner LLC reserves the right to take no action
upon receipt of a counter-notification. If we receive a counter-notification
that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may forward it to the
person who filed the original Notification.
The process described in this Policy does not limit our
ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected
infringement.
Changes and amendments
We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms
related to the Website and Services at any time at our discretion. When we do,
we will revise the updated date at the bottom of this page. We may also provide
notice to you in other ways at our discretion, such as through the contact
information you have provided.
An updated version of this Policy will be effective
immediately upon the posting of the revised Policy unless otherwise specified.
Your continued use of the Website and Services after the effective date of the
revised Policy (or such other act specified at that time) will constitute your
consent to those changes.
