Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA")
Uploading copyrighted material such as copyrighted
photographs, art, text, and screenshots in violation of
applicable copyright law violates this Agreement. Theme Your
World does not monitor the Content for this type of activity.
However, complaints submitted to Theme Your World by copyright
holders or their agents in compliance with the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) are taken seriously and may
result in removal of Content deemed to be violating at Theme
Your World’s sole discretion, a user’s termination of use of
the Services, plus fines or other legal action brought by
copyright holders and their agents.
DMCA Complaint
- If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and
believe that any Content infringes upon your copyrights,
you may submit a complaint pursuant to the DMCA by
providing our Copyright Agent with the following
information in writing (see 17 U.S.C 512(c)(3), also at www.copyright.gov,
for further detail):
- An electronic or physical signature of the copyright
owner or 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 notice, 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 Theme Your
World to locate the material.
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit Theme Your
World to contact the complaining party, such as an address,
telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail
address
- 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 notice 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.
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the above
requirements for the DMCA complaint, your DMCA complaint may be
rendered invalid.
Copyright Agent
- Theme Your World's Copyright Agent to receive
notifications of claimed infringement can be reached here
- Counter-Notice
- If you believe that your Content that was removed (or
to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that
you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the
copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post
and use the material in your Content, you may send a
counter-notice containing the following information to the
Copyright Agent:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the Content that has been removed or
to which access has been disabled and the location at which
the Content appeared before it was removed or
disabled;
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the
Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a
misidentification of the Content; and
- Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail
address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction
of the federal court in San Diego, California, and a
statement that you will accept service of process from the
person who provided notification of the alleged
infringement.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent,
Theme Your World may send a copy of the counter-notice to the
original complaining party informing that person that it may
replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in 10
business days. Unless the complaining party files an action
seeking a court order against the Content provider, member or
user, the removed Content may be replaced, or access to it
restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of
the counter-notice, at Theme Your World's sole discretion.
Other Provisions
- Theme Your World may document notices of
allegedly-infringing Content upon which Theme Your World
acts and may forward notices of alleged infringement to the
party that submitted the allegedly-infringing Content, in
addition to a third-party which may publish and/or annotate
it. Theme Your World generally does not interfere with
standard technical measures used by copyright owners to
identify or protect copyrighted works which Theme Your
World, in its sole discretion, deems as reasonable.
