We respect the intellectual property
rights of others and we prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise
transmitting on the Carolina Pulse website or service any materials that
violate another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive proper
Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement as described below, we promptly
remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the
accounts of repeat infringers in accordance with the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act.
A.
Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement
If you believe that your own
copyrighted work is accessible on the Carolina Pulse website or service in
violation of your copyright, you may provide our Designated Agent with a
written communication as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) that contains substantially the
following information:
- Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work or
intellectual property that you claim has been infringed so that we can
locate the material. For example, "The copyrighted work is my content
that appears at http://www.mycontentpage.com/item1_qjofkrns123." If
multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by your
Notification, you may provide a representative list of such works at that
site.
- Identify the URL or other specific location on the Carolina
Pulse website or service that contains the material that you claim
infringes your copyright described in Item 1 above. You must provide us
with reasonably sufficient information to locate the alleged infringing
material. For example, "The content at the following URL infringes on
my copyright: http://www.anothercontent.com/item2_hjdsi899."
- Provide the electronic or physical signature of the
owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner's
behalf.
- Include a statement by you that you have a good faith
belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its
agent, or the law.
- Include a statement by you that the information
contained in your Notice is accurate and that you attest under the penalty
of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to
act on the copyright owner's behalf.
- Include your name, mailing address, telephone number
and email address.
You may submit your Notification of
Alleged Copyright Infringement via email at:
E-Mail: copyright@CarolinaPulse.com
Please note that you may be liable
for damages, including court costs and attorneys fees, if you materially
misrepresent that content on our website and/or service is copyright
infringing. Filing a false form on this page constitutes perjury.
Upon receiving a proper Notification
of Alleged Copyright Infringement as described in this Section A, we will
remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and promptly
notify the alleged infringer of your claim. We also will advise the alleged
infringer of the DMCA statutory Counter Notification procedure described below
in Section B by which the alleged infringer may respond to your claim and
request that we restore this material.
B.
Counter Notification
If you believe your own copyrighted material
has been removed from our website and/or service as a result of mistake or
misidentification, you may submit a written Counter Notification to our
Designated Agent pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2) and (3). To be an effective
Counter Notification under the DMCA, your Counter Notification must include
substantially the following:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or
disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was
removed or disabled.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the
Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your
address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which
the service provider may be found.
- A statement that you will accept service of process
from the party that filed the Notification of Alleged Copyright
Infringement or the party's agent.
- Your name, address and telephone number.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a
good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as
a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or
disabled.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
You may submit your Counter
Notification via email at:
E-Mail: copyright@CarolinaPulse.com
If you send us a valid, written
Counter Notification meeting the requirements described above, we will restore
your removed or disabled material after 10 business days but no later than 14
business days from the date we receive your Counter Notification, unless our
Designated Agent first receives notice from the party filing the original
Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement informing us that such party has
filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity
related to the material in question.
Please note that if you materially
misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or
misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and
attorney's fees. Filing a false form on this page constitutes perjury.
