Making claims of copyright infringement for user-posted content and links

We have adopted a policy, in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), to enable, at our sole discretion, the expeditious removal of the infringing material and the termination of repeat infringers' ability to post content. (All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings outlined in the Website's Terms of Use.)

If you have a good faith belief that your copyright has been infringed by any content accessible on or through the site (e.g., www.petsplayful.com), please send our Designated Copyright Agent a notice of claimed infringement.

By e-mail:

To be effective, the notice of claimed infringement must include the following info:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringing exclusive rights;

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if a single notification covers multiple copyrighted works, a representative list of such works;

Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity 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 specific URLs is the best way to help us find the content quickly);

Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as the address, telephone, fax, and e-mail address at which we may get in touch with the complaining party;

A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that the 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 information provided in this legal notice may be forwarded to the person who posted the allegedly infringing content.

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys' fees if you falsely claim that content uploaded by a user of the platform infringes your copyright.

Restoring removed content

Suppose you believe that your content was removed in response to a copyright complaint but is not infringing or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or according to the law, to post the content. In that case, you may send our Designated Agent a counter-notification containing the following information:

Signature: Your physical or electronic signature;

Contact Information: Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address;

Content Identification: A reasonable identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location where the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;

A statement under perjury: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I 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";

Consent to Jurisdiction: One of the following statements (as appropriate):

If based in the United States: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my provided address is located."

If based outside the United States: "I consent to the jurisdiction of any United States Federal District Court in which Petsplayful may be found."

Repeat infringers

Petsplayful does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of Petsplayful or others. Petsplayful reserves the right to terminate the access and use privileges of any person determined to be a 'repeat infringer' of the copyrights of Petsplayful or others. Petsplayful also reserves the right to define the criteria by which Petsplayful will decide that a person is a 'repeat infringer.' If a repeat infringer is defined by statute, law, or regulation, Petsplayful will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting the right of Petsplayful to determine 'repeat infringer' as a general rule, Petsplayful will define a 'repeat infringer' as any person or entity about whom Petsplayful has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. Petsplayful will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances.
