PropQwiz DMCA Takedown Policy
PropQwiz DMCA Takedown Policy
PropQwiz takes claims of copyright infringement seriously for any content that is hosted on our Services. Posting content that infringes upon the copyright or intellectual property of others, may result in the termination of your access to our Services.
Below you will find more information about how the DMCA takedown process works along with instructions on how to submit a takedown notice (“DMCA Notice”) and a counter notice (“Counter Notice”). As with any legal matter, we always encourage you to consult with an attorney to ask questions to better understand your rights.
How the Takedown Process Works
The copyright owner will confirm they own the copyright to an original work and the content they have identified is unauthorized and infringing.
The copyright owner will send a DMCA Notice to PropQwiz ensuring it meets all the requirements provided below.
PropQwiz will contact the user who placed the content in the Services and give them a reasonable time period, not to exceed 48 hours, to delete or modify the content. If the user does not do so, PropQwiz will remove the content.
If the user believes that their content was removed due to a mistake, the user may send a Counter Notice to us. PropQwiz encourages users to consult with an attorney to review their options prior to submitting a counter notice.
Submitting a Takedown Notice
If you believe any materials in the Services infringe your copyright, you may submit a request for those materials to be removed by emailing DMCAnotice@propqwiz.com with the subject line “DMCA Notice” by following the instructions below:
In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) (“DMCA”), the DMCA Notice must include substantially the following:
your name and contact details or that of your authorized agent (mailing address, phone number, and email where you can be reached);
information about where the infringing content can be found so that we can locate it along with a brief description or explanation of your original content;
a statement made in good faith confirming that the use of your content is not authorized by yourself, your agent, or the law and that you request that the content be removed;
a statement regarding the accuracy and truthfulness of the information that you are submitting as well as confirming under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly being infringed; and
a physical or electronic signature by yourself, as the copyright owner, or your authorized agent.
It is important to include all the above information to ensure that the DMCA Notice is effective. Additionally, if you knowingly misrepresent to PropQwiz that content on our Services is infringing your copyright, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
Submitting a Counter Notice
If you believe content you posted on our Services was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter notification (“Counter Notice”) by submitting an email to DMCAnotice@propqwiz.com with the subject line “DMCA Counter Notice.” In accordance with the DMCA, the Counter Notice must include the following:
your name and contact details or that of your authorized agent (mailing address, phone number, and email where you can be reached);
Information about the content that has been removed and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or access disabled;
a statement under penalty of perjury by you that you have a good faith belief that the content identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the content to be removed or disabled;
a statement that you will consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you reside outside the United States for any judicial district in which our Services may be found) and that you will accept service from the person (or an agent of that person) who provided our Services with the complaint at issue; and
a physical or electronic signature by yourself, as the copyright owner, or your authorized agent.
If you knowingly misrepresent to PropQwiz that content on our Services was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be held liable for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.
