United Disabilities ("we," "our," or "us") is committed to protecting our intellectual property rights and respecting the intellectual property rights of others. This policy outlines the procedures for reporting and addressing alleged copyright and trademark infringements on our website, www.uniteddisabilities.com. We reserve the right to remove content that infringes our policies and to take further action against individuals or entities that repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights.
1. Reporting Copyright and Trademark Infringements
If you believe that your copyright or trademark has been infringed, you must submit a written notice containing the following information to enable us to assess and address the issue appropriately:
a. Identification of the Infringed Work
- A detailed description of the copyrighted work or trademark you claim has been infringed.
- Proof of ownership or authorization to act on behalf of the copyright or trademark owner (e.g., a registration certificate or legal documentation).
b. Identification of the Allegedly Infringing Content
- Specific identification of the allegedly infringing content, including the URL or other precise location on our website where the infringing content appears. This should be detailed enough to allow us to locate the content quickly.
c. Statement of Claim
- A statement from you or your authorized representative explaining why you believe the identified content infringes on your copyright or trademark rights, including relevant legal grounds or citations of applicable laws.
d. Good Faith Assertion
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information provided in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner of the copyright or trademark or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
e. Signature and Contact Information
- Your physical or electronic signature, along with your full contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
Important Note: Submitting false claims or materially misrepresenting that content on our site is infringing may expose you to liability for damages, including legal fees and costs. Consider consulting legal counsel before submitting any notice of alleged infringement.
2. Responding to Alleged Infringements
Upon receiving a valid notice of alleged copyright or trademark infringement, United Disabilities will:
- Review and Investigate: We will conduct an internal review to assess the validity of the claim and determine whether the content in question should be removed or disabled.
- Content Removal: If we determine that the content violates intellectual property rights, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and notify the user responsible for posting the content.
- Further Action: United Disabilities reserves the right to take further action, including suspending or terminating the accounts of users who are repeat infringers or who violate our intellectual property policies.
Note: The removal of content is not an admission of liability, and United Disabilities reserves the right to challenge any claims of infringement.
3. Counter-Notice and Restoration of Content
If your content has been removed from www.uniteddisabilities.com due to an alleged copyright or trademark infringement, and you believe the removal was a mistake or based on misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Your counter-notice must include the following information:
a. Identification of Removed Content
- A description of the content that was removed or disabled, and the exact location (such as the URL) where the content appeared before removal.
b. Good Faith Belief Statement
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, asserting that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
c. Consent to Jurisdiction
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of:
- (i) The Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located if you are a U.S. resident, or
- (ii) Any judicial district in which United Disabilities may be found if you are located outside the United States. You must also agree to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original infringement notice or their authorized representative.
d. Signature and Contact Information
- Your physical or electronic signature, along with your full contact information, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original infringement claim. If the original claimant does not file a lawsuit within 10 business days to prevent the restoration of the content, we may, at our discretion, restore the removed content.
Important Note: Filing a false counter-notice or misrepresenting that content was removed by mistake or misidentification may expose you to liability for damages. It is advisable to consult legal counsel before submitting a counter-notice.
