Notification of Copyright Infringement
Digital Millennium Copyright Act
BoreMe.com is an Online Service Provider under Title II of
the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512
("DMCA"). BoreMe.com respects the legitimate rights
of copyright owners, expects its users to do the same, and
has adopted an efficient notice and take down procedure as
required by the DMCA and described herein. This policy is
intended to guide copyright owners in utilising that procedure,
and also to guide users and webmasters in restoring access
to websites or content that are disabled due to a mistake.
Notice to Owners of Copyrighted Works
If you are a copyright owner, authorised to act on behalf
of one, or authorised to act under any exclusive right under
copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking
place on or through the BoreMe.com site by completing the
following notice ("Notice") and delivering it to
BoreMe.com's Designated Copyright Agent.
DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement
A proper DMCA Notice will notify BoreMe.com of particular
facts in a document signed under penalty of perjury and delivered
to BoreMe.com's Designated Agent. To write a proper Notice,
you must provide the following information, which list comes
directly from the DMCA statute:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised
to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have
been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single
online site are covered by a single Notification, a representative
list of such works at that site.
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 the service provider to locate
the material.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service
provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address,
telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address
at which the complaining party may be contacted.
A statement that the complaining party has a good faith
belief that the use of the material in the manner complained
of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or
the law.
A statement that the information in the Notification is
accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining
party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive
right that is allegedly infringed.
When filing an infringement claim, please include any URLs
identifying the allegedly infringing material along with any
other information that might assist BoreMe.com’s Agent's
investigation of your claim.
If the material originates from another website and you believe
that BoreMe.com has cached that material, then confirm any
of the following that apply:
The material has been removed from the originating site;
access to the material on the originating site has been disabled;
a court has ordered that the material be removed from the
originating site; and/or
a court has ordered that access to the material on the originating
site be disabled.
Failure to include all of the above information may result
in a delay in processing the DMCA Notification. If you materially
misrepresent that any material infringes your copyright interest,
you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys'
fees, and could be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury.
Deliver this Notice with all items completed to BoreMe.com's
Designated Copyright Agent:

Upon receipt of a valid claim BoreMe.com will follow the
procedures provided in the DMCA which prescribe a notice and
take down procedure, subject to the user's or webmaster's
right to submit a Counter-Notification claiming lawful use
of the disabled works. BoreMe.com will have the disputed material
removed from public view. BoreMe.com will also notify the
user or webmaster who posted the allegedly infringing material
that has been removed or disable access to that material.
How to Make a Counter-Notification
If you are a BoreMe.com user or webmaster and you feel that
the material you have placed online that has been removed
following an infringement complaint Notification is in fact
not an infringement, you may file a Counter-Notification.
Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA requires that to be valid, the
Counter-Notification must be written and addressed to our
Copyright Agent and must provide the following information
taken from the statute:
A physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed or
to which access has been disabled and the location at which
the material appeared before it was removed or access to it
was disabled.
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 to
be removed or disabled.
Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement
that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court
for the judicial district in which the addressee is located,
or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial
district in which you may be found, and that you will accept
service of process from the person who provided Notification
under Subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
Our Designated Agent will present your Counter-Notification
to the person who filed the infringement complaint Notice.
Once your Counter-Notification has been delivered, BoreMe.com
is allowed under the provisions of Section 512 to restore
the removed material in not less than ten or more than fourteen
days, unless the complaining party serves notice of intent
to obtain a court order restraining the restoration
Repeat Infringers
It is BoreMe.com's policy to terminate users or webmasters
who are found to be repeat infringers. Further, BoreMe.com
has the discretion to handle non-compliant Notices in whatever
manner appears to be reasonable under the given circumstances.
