1. Overview

[ENTITY_NAME] respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. This policy describes how to report claims of copyright infringement relating to content available through ascendbiolabs.com under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

2. Notice Of Claimed Infringement

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of one) and believe that content on the Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to our designated agent that contains all of the following elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  • a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
  • identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works, a representative list);
  • identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (URL is usually best);
  • information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
  • 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
  • a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Send your notice to our designated agent:

[DMCA_AGENT_NAME]

[ENTITY_NAME]

Attn: DMCA Copyright Agent

[REGISTERED_ADDRESS]

Email: [dmca@ascendbiolabs.com]

Our designated agent is also registered with the U.S. Copyright Office at copyright.gov/dmca-directory.

4. False Claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages. Do not submit a notice unless you have a good-faith belief that the material is infringing.

5. Counter-Notice

If you believe material that was removed or disabled in response to a DMCA notice was removed in error or because of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent that contains all of the following:

  • your physical or electronic signature;
  • identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its location before removal;
  • a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
  • your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district where you reside (or, if outside the United States, the federal district in which we may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the party that submitted the original notice and may restore the removed material between 10 and 14 business days thereafter, unless that party first notifies us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain further activity.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright.
