Introduction
The following terms and conditions are entered into by and between You and StaffDocs, LLC (“StaffDocs”, “we”, or “us”). The following terms and conditions (collectively, the “Copyright Policy”) are expressly incorporated by reference in the Terms of Use.
In an effort to ensure the content hosted on www.staffdocs.com (the “Site”) is not infringing on another’s rights, we provide an easy process for the submission of complaints regarding User Contributions. To understand this process and our policies related thereto, please review this Copyright Policy section where such process and policies are explained and described.
It is important to note that, whether or not we disable access to or remove User Contributions, we may take reasonable steps to notify the applicable user that we have received a notice of an alleged violation of intellectual property rights or other content violation, and/or to send a written infringement notification to the user who posted the content.
Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement
We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with applicable law. If you believe any materials accessible on or from the Site infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) from the Site by submitting written notification to our Copyright Agent set forth below. If you believe in good faith that your copyright has been infringed, you may provide a written notice to our designated Copyright Agent. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), a written notice (“DMCA Notice”) must include the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature, or the physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner;
- Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works on the Site, a representative list of such works;
- A sufficiently precise description of the location of the material on the Site that you believe to be infringing to allow us to locate that material;
- Your contact information (including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address);
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is true and accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
