IDENTIFYY COPYRIGHT POLICY

HAAWK, Inc., a Delaware corporation, d/b/a “Identifyy”, and its related companies (collectively, “Identifyy”) respects the copyrights of others and expects its users to do the same.  In compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act as embodied in 17 U.S.C. 512 (the “DMCA”) (See: http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512), Identifyy will respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to material that is claimed to infringe copyrighted material or to be the subject of activity that infringes copyrighted material and was posted online using Identifyy.

DMCA Notification of Claimed Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right under copyright that is allegedly infringed, please notify Identifyy of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and was posted online using Identifyy by completing a DMCA notification of claimed infringement (the “Notification”) and delivering it to Identifyy’s designated copyright agent (the “Copyright Agent”) as described below.  It is important to emphasize that you should only submit a Notification if you own or control the copyrighted material that is claimed to be infringing because under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages.

1.  Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works, a representative list of such works;

2.  Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, AND information reasonably sufficient to permit Identifyy to locate the material;

Upon receipt of a valid Counter Notification, Identifyy will promptly forward it to the Claimant and inform the Claimant that Identifyy will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it unless the Claimant notifies Identifyy’s Copyright Agent within ten (10) business days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity with regard to the material posted online by you using Identifyy (the “Lawsuit”).

If Identifyy receives notification that the Claimant has filed the Lawsuit, it will be unable to replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

If Identifyy does not receive such notification, Identifyy will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless Identifyy’s Copyright Agent first receives notification that the Claimant has filed the Lawsuit.
