Baaed FREE SEO Suite respects the intellectual property rights of others and asks our users to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA").
1. Designated Copyright Agent
Notices of claimed copyright infringement must be sent to our designated agent (also registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2)):
Notices not directed to the designated agent may not receive a response. Email is the fastest method.
2. Filing a Takedown Notice
If you believe that material accessible on or through Baaed FREE SEO Suite infringes a copyright you own or are authorised to enforce, you may file a notice with our designated agent. Your notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following (the elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):
3. Required Elements
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g. the full URL on our Site).
- Your contact information: name, postal 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 authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorised to act on behalf of the owner.
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
An incomplete notice may not be valid under the DMCA and may delay or prevent us from acting on it.
4. Counter-Notice
If you believe content you posted was removed (or access to it disabled) as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice with our designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a counter-notice must include substantially the following:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and its location before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your contact information: name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the removed material.
5. Repeat-Infringer Policy
In appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, we will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We may also limit access to our Service or terminate the account of any user who infringes intellectual property rights, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
6. Penalty for False Claims
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or any service provider injured by such misrepresentation.
Please make sure you understand whether the use you are complaining about is fair use, or licensed, before filing a notice.
7. Trademark and Other Intellectual Property Complaints
Although the DMCA covers copyright only, we also take other forms of intellectual property infringement seriously. If you believe content on our Service infringes a trademark, right of publicity, or other right, send the same six-element notice (adapted appropriately) to info@baaed.com.
8. Notices from Outside the United States
The DMCA is U.S. law, but we extend equivalent procedures to copyright owners outside the United States. Submit your notice using the same six elements above to our designated agent, identifying the law on which you rely (e.g. the EU Copyright Directive, the UK Copyright, Designs and Patents Act 1988).
