DMCA Copyright Policy
How to report copyright infringement on our Services.
To submit a DMCA notice or counter-notice, email dmca@fopull.com or see our full contact directory.
Fopull LLC ("Fopull," "we," "us") respects the intellectual-property rights of others. It is our policy to respond to clear and complete notices of alleged copyright infringement on our Services, consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
1. Designated Copyright Agent
Designated agent registration in progress. Until our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office, please send DMCA notices to dmca@fopull.com. We will respond to good-faith notices, but DMCA safe harbor under § 512(c) is not available to a service provider until the agent is registered.
2. Filing a Notice of Claimed Infringement
To be effective under the DMCA, a notice must be a written communication to our designated agent that includes substantially the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notice — a representative list of such works;
- 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 (for example, the URL of the specific page or attachment);
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and (if available) an email address;
- A statement 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;
- 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 owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Misrepresentations. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing — or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake — may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner, or by us.
3. What we do when we receive a valid notice
- We will promptly remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
- We will take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it, and we will forward a copy of the notice (which may include your contact information).
- We will track repeat-infringer activity in accordance with §5 below.
4. Counter-Notification
If you believe that material we removed or disabled was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. To be effective, your counter-notification must include substantially the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access disabled;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the Federal District Court for any judicial district in which Fopull LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification (or an agent of that person).
If we receive a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the party who submitted the original notice and inform them that we may restore the removed material in 10 to 14 business days, unless they first notify us that they have filed a court action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our Services.
5. Repeat-Infringer Policy
It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the Services and terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual-property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
6. Other intellectual-property claims (trademarks, etc.)
For complaints about non-copyright intellectual-property rights (for example, trademark infringement), contact legal@fopull.com. We will review and respond as appropriate, but the DMCA-specific procedure above does not apply to non-copyright claims.
