  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single website are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that website;

  4. Sufficient information to permit us to locate the material identified;
  5. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and, if available, your email address;
  6. A statement that you have 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; and
  7. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are either the owner of the copyright that has allegedly been infringed or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright owner.

 

  1. Please note that pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any misrepresentation of material fact (falsities) in a written notification automatically subjects the complaining party to liability for any damages, costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us in connection with the written notification and allegation of copyright infringement.

 

  1. Our designated Copyright Agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement is:

 

Phil Shemanski

1455 Arbor Ave

Los Altos, CA 94024

Email: phil@renewingtherenaissance.com

 

  1. For clarity, only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent, who will respond as soon as possible to any notifications. Any other feedback, comments, questions, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to: info@beginnersschool.com.

 

  1. You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of these requirements, your DMCA notice may not be valid.

 

  1. Counter-Notice. If you believe that your User 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 User Content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent:
    1. Your physical or electronic signature;
    2. Identification of the User Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the User Content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
    3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the User Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the User Content; and
    4. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address; a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in San Francisco, 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, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed User Content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the User Content provider, the removed User Content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

 

  1. Trademarks. All logos, icons, designs, titles, slogans, devices, product names, and service names that serve a source identifying function (“Trademarks”) contained in the Services are Trademarks of Entrusting or the relevant third party. The term Trademarks includes, without limitation, the look and feel, and trade dress associated with our Services. These Trademarks may not be copied, imitated, or used, in whole or in part, without first obtaining our written permission or the written permission from the appropriate third party. For example, you may not use any meta-tags or any related technology utilizing our Trademarks or third party Trademarks found on the Services without first obtaining written permission from us or the appropriate third party. Reference to any products, services, processes or other information, by trade name, trademark, manufacturer, supplier, or otherwise does not constitute or imply an endorsement, sponsorship or recommendation by us.
