We respect the
intellectual property rights of copyright holders, and thus comply with the Notice and Takedown provisions of the Digital Millennium
Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). We do not permit copyright infringing
activities or infringement of intellectual property rights on Our Site,
and will promptly and without prior notice remove all content if
properly notified of infringements on third party’s intellectual
property rights. Repeat infringers will have their access and/or
privileges terminated.
Our website (“site”) qualifies as a “Service Provider” within the
meaning of 17 U.S.C. §512(k)(1) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act
of 1998 (“DMCA”). Consequently, it is entitled to a certain protection
against claims of copyright infringement under the DMCA.
Notice of Claimed Infringement
We take claims of copyright infringement very seriously and respond to
notices regarding such matters expeditiously. If you are a copyright
owner, or authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, you may
report claims of copyright infringement to us, by sending a DMCA Notice
of Alleged Infringement, containing the following:
Identification, including a description, of the copyrighted work you are
claiming has been infringed. If you are claiming infringement of
multiple works, you may provide a representative list. The location of the allegedly infringing material, including
identification of URL where the allegedly infringing material is
accessible or the exact location where the infringing material can be
found. Your company affiliation, if applicable, your mailing address, telephone
number, and email address.

authorized by the copyright owner or other intellectual property rights

Agent.
1. Take Down Procedure
Our site implements the following “notification and takedown” procedure
upon receipt of any notification of claimed copyright infringement. Our
site reserves the right at any time to disable access to, or remove any
material or activity accessible on or from any site or any materials
claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which
infringing activity is apparent. It is the firm policy of our site to
terminate the account of repeat copyright infringers, should such an
account exist, when appropriate, and our site will act expeditiously to
remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright,
according to the procedure set forth in 17 U.S.C. §512 of the “DMCA”.
Our site’s DMCA Notice Procedures are set forth in the preceding
paragraph. If the notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA, but does
comply with three requirements for identifying sites that are infringing
according to §512 of the DMCA, our site shall attempt to contact or take
other reasonable steps to contact the complaining party to help that
party comply with the notice requirements. When the Designated Agent
receives a valid notice, our site will expeditiously remove and/or
disable access to the infringing material and shall notify the affected
user.
Then, the affected user may submit a counter-notification to the
Designated Agent containing a statement made under penalty of perjury
that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed
because of misidentification of the material. After the Designated Agent
receives the counter-notification, it will replace the material at issue
within 10-14 days after receipt of the counter-notification unless the
Designated Agent receives notice that a court action has been filed by
the complaining party seeking an injunction against the infringing
activity. Our site reserves the right to modify, alter or add to this
policy, and all users should regularly check back to these Terms and
Conditions to stay current on any such changes.
2. Abuse Notification
Abusing the DMCA Notice procedures set forth above, or misrepresenting
facts in a DMCA Notice or Counter-notification, can result in legal
liability for damages, court costs and attorneys fees under U.S. federal
law. See; 17 U.S.C. §512(f). This Notice and Takedown Procedures only
apply to claims of copyright infringement by copyright holders and their
agents – not to any other kind of abuse, infringement or legal claim. We
will investigate and take action against anyone abusing the DMCA
notification or counter-notification procedure. Please ensure that you
meet all of the legal qualifications before submitting a DMCA Notice to
our Designated Agent.
3. Counter-Notice Procedure:
If the Recipient of a Notice of Claimed Infringement (“Notice”) believes
that the Notice is erroneous or false, and/or that allegedly infringing
material has been wrongly removed in accordance with the procedures
outlined above, the Recipient is permitted to submit a
counter-notification pursuant to Section 512(g)(2)&(3) of the DMCA. A
counter-notification is the proper method for the Recipient to dispute
the removal or disabling of material pursuant to a Notice. The
information that a Recipient provides in a counter-notification must be
accurate and truthful, and the Recipient will be liable for any
misrepresentations which may cause any claims to be brought against our
site relating to the actions taken in response to the
counter-notification.
To submit a counter-notification, please provide Our Designated
Copyright agent the following information:
1- A specific
description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the
Notice;
2- A description of where the material was located within the our site or
the content before such material was removed and/or disabled (preferably
including specific url’s associated with the material);
3- A statement reflecting the Recipient’s belief that the removal or
disabling of the material was done so erroneously. For convenience, the
following format may be used: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I
have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or
disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or
misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
4 - The Recipient’s physical address, telephone number, and email address;
and,
5- A statement that the Recipient consents to the jurisdiction of the
Federal District Court in and for the judicial district where the
Recipient is located, or if the Recipient is outside of the United
States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be
found, and that the Recipient will accept service of process from the
person who provided the Notice, or that person’s agent.
Written notification containing the above information must be signed and
sent to:
Yellowplum Limited
Avlonos 1,
Nicosia, 1075
Cyprus Email:
info@yellowplum.org
Tel: +1 786 220 3317
4. Please do not send other inquires or information to our Designated
Agent.
After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, Our Designated
Copyright Agent will forward it to Us, and We will then provide the
counter-notification to the claimant who first sent the original Notice
identifying the allegedly infringing content.
Thereafter, within ten to fourteen (10-14) days of our receipt of a
counter-notification, We will replace or cease disabling access to the
disputed material provided that we or our Designated Copyright Agent
have not received notice that the original claimant has filed an action
seeking a court order to restrain the Recipient from engaging in
infringing activity relating to the material on our site’s system or
network.
5. Repeat Infringers:
It is our policy to terminate access to our Website and revoke
privileges of any person who we determine to be a "repeat infringer."
Repeat infringement shall be determined in our sole and exclusive
discretion but will include any individual who has been the subject of
more than one copyright infringement notice.
Nothing in this policy waives any other right we may have to pursue
copyright infringers or any other individual who uses our Website to
violate the intellectual property rights of others. We will not
indemnify any alleged infringer in any manner.
6. Service Provider Customers or Users
In the event that the alleged infringer identified in an intended DMCA
Notice is, itself, operating as a “Service Provider” within the meaning
of 17 U.S.C. §512(k)(1), our site requests that any such DMCA Notices
relating to alleged infringement by third party users, customers or
subscribers of such service providers be submitted directly to the DMCA
Agent designated by the service provider instead of our site.
7. Modifications to this Policy
Our site reserves the right to modify, alter or add to this policy, and
all affected persons should regularly check back regularly to stay
current on any such changes.
8. Customer Service Requests
Please note that the DMCA Agent is not associated with our site in any
other capacity. Customer service inquiries, payment questions, and
cancellation requests will not receive a response. All such
communications must be directed to our site’s customer service
department.
