Copyright & DMCA

Draft — pending legal review

ForkPoint Ltd. respects copyright. This page explains how to tell us that material on dwithease.com infringes a copyright you own or control, what we do about it, and how someone whose material was removed can respond. It supplements the copyright section of our Terms & Conditions.

Designated agent

Notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act should go to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent, ForkPoint Ltd.
14 Slivnitza Str.
Ruse, Ruse 7000
Bulgaria
dmca@forkpoint.com

What a notice must contain

So we can act on it, a notice needs all of the following. A notice missing any of it may not be effective, and we may come back to you for the rest.

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed — or, if several works are covered by one notice, a representative list.
  3. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with enough detail for us to find it. A URL is the most useful thing you can give us.
  4. Your contact details: address, telephone number and email address.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act for them.

What we do with it

We review notices promptly. Where a notice is effective, we remove or disable access to the material and make a reasonable attempt to tell whoever posted it, passing on a copy of the notice, including your contact details. If you would rather we did not pass on a particular detail, say so and we will consider it, but we cannot always withhold it and still act on the notice.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must contain your signature, identification of the material and where it appeared before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification, your name, address and telephone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of a US federal court for the district where you live — or, if you are outside the United States, of a district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service from the person who sent the notice.

We forward an effective counter-notice to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within 10 to 14 business days that they have gone to court to restrain the activity, we may restore the material.

False claims

Both notices and counter-notices are made under penalty of perjury. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, can be liable for damages and legal costs. If you are not sure whether something infringes your copyright, take advice before sending a notice.

Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Outside the United States

The DMCA is US law, but you do not have to be in the United States to use this process, and we deal with well-founded copyright complaints wherever they come from. Complaints about trade marks or other rights can go to the same address.
