COPYRIGHT POLICY
Blentech Corporation respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects Users of the Service to do the same. Blentech Corporation complies with the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office Website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf. We will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable law and are properly provided to us.
If you believe that any User Content has been copied or used in a way that constitutes
copyright infringement, please provide us with the following information:
- a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act
on their behalf; - identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed;
- identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
- your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;
- a statement by you 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; and
- 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 copyright owner.
If you believe that your User Content that was removed after we received a notice of
copyright infringement is not actually infringing, or that you have the necessary rights to post your User Content, please send us a counter-notice containing the following information:
- your physical or electronic signature (with your full legal name);
- identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
- a statement that you have a good faith belief, under penalty of perjury, that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content; and
- your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of the alleged infringement.
If we receive a counter-notice, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the person alleging copyright infringement and inform that person that we may replace the removed User Content in ten business days. Unless the original person alleging copyright infringement files an action seeking a court order against the User, the removed User Content may be replaced, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Blentech Corporation’s sole discretion.
Filing a counter-notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process.
We reserve the right to remove User Content alleged to be infringing without prior notice and at our sole discretion. In appropriate circumstances, Blentech Corporation may also terminate a User's account if the User is determined to be a repeat infringer.
