Copyright Policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and we prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the iPromote site or service any materials that violate another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive proper Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement as described below, we promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

A. Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your own copyrighted work is accessible on the iPromote site or service in violation of your copyright, you may provide our Designated Agent with a written communication as set forth in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) that contains substantially the following information:

  1. Provide a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, who is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work or intellectual property that you claim is infringed so that we can locate the material. For example, "The copyrighted work is my content that appears at http://www.mysite.com/page1.htm." If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by your Notification, you may provide a representative list of such works at that site.
  3. Identify the material posted on iPromote.com that you claim is infringing on your copyright. You must provide us with reasonably sufficient information to locate the alleged infringing material. For example, "The material at the following URL is infringing on my copyright: http://www.ipromote.com/page1.htm."
  4. Include a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. Include a statement by you that the information contained in your notification is accurate and that you attest under the penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
  6. Include information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and if available, an e-mail address at which you may be contacted.

C. Repeat Infringer Policy

iPromote may withdraw all rights and privileges relating to its sites and services from any person or entity ("Infringer") that is deemed to be a repeat infringer. The determination of a "repeat infringer" will be based on the number of times such Infringer was adjudicated by a court, arbitrator or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction that the user has engaged in copyright infringement of any kind in relation to the Service; or that iPromote, upon a complaint or after its own investigation determined that the Infringer has engaged in copyright infringement.

iPromote will regard any Infringer who was found to be infringing copyright in more than one instance to be a repeat infringer, and will act to revoke the Infringer's privileges, access and/or services.

iPromote may also, at its sole discretion, limit access or privilege to the iPromote sites and services of any person or entity that infringes any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER IPROMOTE TERMINATES ACCESS, PRIVILEGES AND/OR SERVICES OF ANY INFRINGER, IPROMOTE IN NO WAY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AGAINST COPYRIGHT INFRINGERS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS VIOLATORS.
