FanPulse respects copyright and expects users to do the same. This Policy describes how to submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512.
1. Designated Agent
Send qualifying copyright notices to:
DMCA Agent: [agent name or title — attorney to complete]
Service provider: Alliable Interactive LLC d/b/a FanPulse
Address: [physical mailing address — attorney to complete]
Email: [email protected]
Telephone: [telephone — attorney to complete]
FanPulse must also register this agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and renew or update the designation as required. Posting contact information on this page alone is not sufficient for registration.
2. Takedown Notice Requirements
A written notice should include:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list for multiple works at one location.
- Identification of the material to be removed or disabled and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, including a specific URL, channel, stream, clip, post, or timestamp.
- Contact information for the complaining party, including address, telephone number, and email.
- A statement of good faith belief that the complained of use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.
- A statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act for the owner.
A knowingly material misrepresentation may create liability. Consider fair use, license, and other lawful bases before submitting a notice.
3. FanPulse Response
FanPulse may remove or disable access to material, notify the affected user, preserve records, and take action under the repeat infringer policy. FanPulse may forward the notice and contact information to the user who posted the material.
4. Counter Notice
A user may submit a counter notice containing:
- The user's physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the removed material and its prior location.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
- The user's name, address, and telephone number.
- Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States federal district court, or if outside the United States, a district where FanPulse may be found.
- A statement that the user will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.
FanPulse may restore material after the statutory period unless the original claimant notifies FanPulse that a court action has been filed seeking to restrain the user.
5. Repeat Infringers
FanPulse will adopt and reasonably implement a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users who repeatedly infringe copyright. FanPulse may consider valid notices, counter notices, court findings, reuploads, evasion, and other reliable evidence.
6. Live Broadcast Complaints
For an allegedly unauthorized live sports broadcast, identify the live channel, event, exact URL, and rights owned. FanPulse may disable access quickly while reviewing. Emergency processing does not waive the required elements of a valid notice.
7. Other Intellectual Property
Trademark, publicity, privacy, defamation, and other complaints are not DMCA notices. Send them to [email protected] with specific facts and supporting rights information.
