4. Recommended Notice Format

A copyright infringement notice may use substantially the following format:

5. Review of DMCA Notices

After receiving a sufficiently complete DMCA notice, Avitance may:

• Confirm receipt of the notice;
• Review the identified material;
• Verify that the notice contains the required information;
• Request clarification or additional information where reasonably necessary;
• Restrict access to the reported material;
• Remove the reported material;
• Contact the party responsible for the content, where applicable; or
• Take another action appropriate under applicable law.

Submission of a notice does not automatically establish that copyright infringement has occurred.

6. Incomplete Notices

A notice that does not contain sufficient information may not allow Avitance to properly identify or evaluate the claim.

If information is missing, we may request additional details before taking further action.

To reduce delays, please provide the exact page URL and all information required by this policy.

7. Misrepresentation and False Claims

Copyright notices must be submitted in good faith.

Do not knowingly submit false, fraudulent, or materially misleading claims.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including certain costs and attorneys' fees.

Before submitting a notice, the claimant should consider whether the disputed use may be authorized, licensed, permitted by law, or subject to an applicable limitation or exception.

8. Removal or Restriction of Material

If a sufficiently supported claim is received and removal or restriction is appropriate, Avitance may remove or disable access to the identified material.

Where appropriate, we may notify the party associated with the affected material.

Removal of material is not necessarily a final legal determination that copyright infringement occurred.

9. Counter-Notification

If material you provided was removed or access to it was disabled because of a copyright complaint, and you believe that the removal or restriction resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification where permitted under applicable law.

Send counter-notifications to:

support@avitance.com

Use a subject line such as:

DMCA Counter-Notification

A counter-notification may use substantially the following format:

12. Processing a Counter-Notification

After receiving a valid counter-notification, Avitance may forward it to the party who submitted the original copyright complaint.

Subject to applicable law, material may be restored after the required statutory period unless the original claimant informs us that appropriate legal action has been filed seeking a court order against the party who submitted the counter-notification.

Restoration is subject to applicable legal requirements and the circumstances of the case.

13. Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, Avitance may restrict or terminate access or relationships involving parties who repeatedly engage in copyright infringement.

Any action will depend on the circumstances and available evidence.

14. Copyright Ownership Disputes

Avitance is not a court and generally cannot adjudicate complex disputes regarding copyright ownership, licensing, authorship, or contractual rights between third parties.

Where competing parties present conflicting claims that cannot reasonably be resolved through the notice process, the parties may need to resolve the dispute through appropriate legal channels.

15. Third-Party Content

Avitance may use materials provided by suppliers, technology providers, service providers, licensors, or other third parties.

If a complaint concerns third-party material, we may contact the relevant party or request supporting information regarding authorization or licensing.

Third-party ownership remains with the applicable rights holder.

16. Product Images and Photographs

If your copyright claim concerns a product photograph, image, graphic, or other visual work, please identify:

• The original copyrighted work;
• The copyright owner;
• Evidence supporting ownership or authorization, where available;
• The exact URL containing the disputed material; and
• The specific image or material involved.

If the same material appears on multiple pages, provide the applicable URLs where reasonably possible.

17. Written Content Claims

If your claim concerns written content, identify:

• The original copyrighted work;
• The text alleged to have been copied;
• The original source or publication information;
• The exact Avitance URL containing the disputed content; and
• Information supporting your ownership or authorization.

18. Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Claims

The DMCA process applies specifically to copyright claims.

For concerns involving:

• Trademarks;

• Other non-copyright intellectual property rights,

please use our Intellectual Property Rights & Claims Policy or contact support@avitance.com with the relevant supporting information.

19. Information Submitted in a DMCA Notice

Information provided through a DMCA notice or counter-notification may be processed for purposes including:

• Evaluating the claim;
• Identifying disputed material;
• Communicating with involved parties;
• Maintaining records;
• Preventing abuse of the reporting process;
• Establishing, exercising, or defending legal rights; and
• Complying with applicable legal obligations.

Where necessary, information contained in a notice or counter-notification may be shared with another party involved in the dispute or otherwise disclosed as required by law.

Additional information regarding personal information is available in our Privacy Policy.

20. Privacy

Personal information submitted as part of a copyright complaint will be handled in accordance with applicable privacy requirements and our Privacy Policy.

Claimants should avoid submitting unnecessary sensitive information.

Only information reasonably necessary to process and evaluate the claim should be included.

21. No Legal Advice

This policy is provided to explain Avitance's copyright reporting process.

It does not constitute legal advice.

Copyright owners, accused parties, and other persons involved in a copyright dispute may wish to obtain independent legal advice regarding their rights and obligations.
