DMCA Policy: Protection of rights to intellectual property
The Digital Lifetime Copyright Act Policy (“DMCA Policy”) currently in effect regulates the operations of the topsfollow.com website (“Website” or “Service”) and its assortment of associated products and services (collectively referred to as “Services”). The website operator (referred to as “Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses concerns regarding copyright infringement notifications and delineates the process for lodging a copyright infringement complaint (“complaint”) in this Policy.
Our fundamental tenet is the paramount significance we attribute to safeguarding intellectual property. Concurrently, we strongly urge our users and their duly authorized representatives to adhere to the identical principles. We are dedicated to promptly responding to explicit notifications regarding alleged copyright infringement, in accordance with the requirements outlined in the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998. For the complete text of the DMCA, please visit the website of the U.S. Copyright Office.
Considerations Prior to Commencing a Copyright Complaint
Before proceeding with a notification, it is advisable to contemplate seeking legal counsel in the event that there is any uncertainty concerning the material that is being reported as infringing.
The inclusion of personally identifiable information in the copyright infringement notification is required by the DMCA. Should apprehensions arise regarding the confidentiality of said personal information, it may be beneficial to retain the services of an agent to lodge a report regarding the infringing content on your behalf.
Prompt Notifications of Infringement: Commencement of a Predetermined Legal Procedure
When a DMCA complaint is filed, a clearly defined legal procedure commences. Every complaint is thoroughly examined to ensure its accuracy, validity, and comprehensiveness. Subsequently, suitable measures may be implemented, such as removing or limiting access to allegedly infringing material. Prior to undertaking any action, we reserve the right to request a court order from a competent jurisdiction, as we deem appropriate in any given circumstance.
In the event that we determine it necessary to remove or restrict access to materials, terminate an account, or do so in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we shall endeavor to communicate with the affected user in a sincere manner. This correspondence shall contain vital information regarding the denial or limitation of access.
Modifications and Supplements: Guaranteeing Transparency and Expletion
Concerning the Website and Services, we reserve the explicit right to modify this Policy or its terms. In the event that such alterations take place, we will expeditiously provide you with an email notification. Furthermore, we reserve the right to employ additional suitable methods at our discretion, including contacting you via the provided contact information.
Any revisions to this Policy shall be effective immediately after being posted, unless otherwise specified. By maintaining continued usage of the Website and Services after the revised Policy goes into effect (or by performing any other specified action), you explicitly indicate your agreement to the specified modifications.
