1. Introduction
BDNewsLife (“we,” “us,” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the BDNewsLife website, bdnewslife.com (the “Site”) that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.
This policy describes the procedure for copyright owners to notify us of claimed infringement and the procedure for users to respond to such notices.
2. Designated Copyright Agent
We have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Site, please notify our copyright agent as set forth below.
- Designated Agent: BDNewsLife Legal Department
- Email: dmca@bdnewslife.com
- Postal Address: Jumeirah Beach Road, Villa 399b, Jumeirah 2,, Opposite Jumeirah Beach Park, Gate no 6. (PO BOX, Dubai.
Please note that this contact information is for copyright infringement notices only. For all other inquiries, please refer to our Contact Us page.
3. Notification of Copyright Infringement
To be effective, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes substantially the following (please consult your legal counsel or see Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA to confirm these requirements):
- 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 copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
- 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. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
- A statement that the complaining party has 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 the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.4. Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us (a “Counter-Notice”) by submitting a written communication to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective, a Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:
- 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 to it was 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Site may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification of infringement or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, we will promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement notification with a copy of the Counter-Notice, and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. We will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter-Notice, unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network.
5. Policy on Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
6. Modifications to Policy
We reserve the right to modify the terms of this DMCA Policy at any time. Any changes will be posted on this page, and your continued use of the Site following the posting of changes will constitute your acceptance of such changes.
