KnowledgeSense (“us”, “we”, or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others. We ask our users to do the same.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), we have a process for receiving and responding to notices of alleged copyright infringement that may appear on the Service.
What to Include in a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you must provide a written notification to our designated agent. Your DMCA takedown notice must include the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, including, at a minimum, a title and, in the case of a literary work, the name of the author;
- A description of the alleged infringing activity and location of the infringing material on the Service, including a link to the infringing material (if possible);
- Your contact information, including your email address, physical address, and phone number;
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Our Take Down Process
Upon receiving a compliant DMCA takedown notice, we will remove the allegedly infringing material expeditiously. We will also send a notification to the user who uploaded the material informing them that the material has been removed.
Counter-Notice
If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or as a result of an error, you can submit a counter-notification. A counter-notification must be a written communication provided to our designated agent that includes the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of the user;
- A description of the material that has been removed and the location at which the material was located before it was removed;
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Service is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the notification of alleged copyright infringement.
If a counter-notification is received, we will send a copy of the counter-notification to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. We may then replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10-14 business days after receiving the counter-notification, unless the party filing the original takedown notice files an action seeking a court order to keep the material removed.
