DMCA Copyright Policy

SERP ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our products and services to do the same. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement on our products and services that are properly reported to our Designated Copyright Agent.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

If you own a copyright, or are authorized to act for the owner, and believe that material available through our products or services infringes it, send a notice to our Designated Agent:

2. Filing a notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notice must include:

1. a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent;
2. identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, or a representative list if the notice covers several works;
3. identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as its URL;
4. your contact information: address, telephone number, and email;
5. a statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law; and
6. a statement that the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing can make you liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

3. Counter-notification

If you believe material you posted was removed by mistake or misidentification, send the agent a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) that includes:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the removed material and where it appeared before removal;
3. a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; and
4. your name, address, and telephone number, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, outside the United States, any judicial district where we may be found) and to accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or their agent.

We may forward a valid counter-notification to the original complainant. If they do not tell us within ten business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material.

4. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we end access for users who repeatedly infringe copyrights, and we may limit access for anyone who infringes others' intellectual property rights.

5. No inducement

Our products and services are provided for lawful purposes only. We do not authorize, encourage, or condone using them to infringe any copyright or other intellectual property right. Do not use them to reproduce, distribute, perform, display, or adapt copyrighted material without authorization or legal permission, or to circumvent technological measures that control access to copyrighted works. Anyone who does so acts at their own risk and may lose access to our services.

6. Changes

We may update this policy by posting a new version here; the date above marks the current version.
