DMCA NOTICE & TAKENDOWN POLICY
I. Introduction:
EASYDOMAINHOST.COM implements the following DMCA Notice and Takedown Policy. EASYDOMAINHOST.COM respects the intellectual property rights of third parties, and expects others to do the same. The DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When a valid DMCA notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content. On taking down content under the DMCA, we will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content so that a counter-notification may be filed. On receiving a valid counter-notification, we generally restore the content in question, unless we receive notice from the notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity. As part of our effort to recognize the copyrights of third parties, EASYDOMAINHOST.COM coplies with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and is therefore protected by the limitations on liability recognized by 47 U.S.C. § 512; commonly known as the "safe harbor" provisions of the DMCA.
