DMCA / Copyright Policy

Overview

Collabbo respects the intellectual property of others and expects members to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

This page explains how to submit a takedown notice, how a member whose content was removed can respond with a counter-notification, and our policy toward repeat infringers.

Filing a takedown notice

If you believe content on Collabbo infringes your copyright, you (or your authorized agent) may submit a notice using the form below, or by writing to our designated agent. To be effective, a notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (a URL is best).
• Your contact information — name, 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.
• 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 their behalf.

What happens after we receive a notice

We review each notice and, where it is complete and appears valid, remove or disable access to the identified material and notify the member who posted it. Repeatedly or knowingly filing a false notice can expose you to liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

Counter-notification

If material you posted was removed and you believe it was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. It must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district, and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Repeat infringer policy

In appropriate circumstances, we terminate the accounts of members who are repeat infringers of others’ copyrights.
