At Maple Pulse, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page explains the process for copyright owners to notify us of alleged infringements and the steps we will take to address such claims.
1. Filing a DMCA Notice
If you believe your copyrighted material has been used on Maple Pulse without authorization, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated Copyright Agent. To be effective, your notice must include:
- Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (e.g., the title, URL, or other specific description).
- Identification of the infringing material on our website, including its URL or other specific location.
- Your contact information, such as your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted on Maple Pulse was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Copyright Agent. Your counter-notification must include:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or the district where your address is located) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice or their agent.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material unless the original complainant files a court action against you within 10 business days.
3. Repeat Infringers
Maple Pulse reserves the right to terminate user accounts or block access to our website for users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
4. Limitation of Liability
We process DMCA notifications as required by law. However, we are not liable for any misrepresentations made by users in their DMCA notices or counter-notifications.
Thank you for helping us maintain compliance with copyright laws.
