It is the policy of bwconnect™ to respond to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “Act”) -- the text of which can be found at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf -- and other applicable intellectual property laws. What follows below is the procedure for submitting proper notices under the Act, set forth in a manner as to make the process as straightforward as possible. The form of notice of alleged infringement specified below is consistent with the Act. It is the policy of bwconnect™ to (1) block access or remove material that we believe in good-faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our suppliers; and (2) remove and discontinue service to repeat offenders. If we remove or disable access to material to comply with the Act we will make a good-faith attempt to contact the owner, author, or administrator of each affected site or content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Act. It is our policy to document each notice of alleged infringement and counter notification on which we act. A copy of each notice of alleged infringement and counter notification may be sent to a third party who will make it available to the public (such as http://www.chillingeffects.org).

Below is the process for filing a notice of alleged infringement and a counter notification:

Infringement Notification

To file a notice of alleged infringement with bwconnect™ you must strictly comply with these instructions. Please be advised that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially represent that any material or content is infringing your copyright. If you are not certain whether the material or content is infringing your copyright, you should consider consulting with an attorney before filing your notice.

If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through our website infringes your copyright, please send a notice of alleged infringement by providing a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below.

To expedite our ability to process your request, please use the following format (including section numbers):

1. Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed. For example, "The copyrighted work at issue is an image of a carved swan that appears on [insert web page link to copyrighted work or otherwise provide sufficient information to specify the copyrighted work being infringed]."

2. Identify the material that you claim is infringing the copyrighted work listed in item #1 above, including information regarding the location of the infringing materials on our website that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that we are capable of finding and verifying its existence.

   You must identify each search result that directly links to a web page that allegedly contains infringing material. This requires you to provide (a) the search query that you used, and (b) the URL for each allegedly infringing search result.

   For example, suppose (hypothetically) that you conducted a search on bwconnect™ using the query "duck", and found that the second and fifth results directly link to a web page that you believe infringes your copyrighted material which you identified in item #1 above. In this case, you would provide the following information:

   Search Query

   - duck

   Infringing Web Pages

   - https://bwconnect™ [copy page details from search]

   - https://bwconnect™ [copy page details from search]

3. Provide information reasonably sufficient to permit bwconnect™ to contact you, including address, telephone number and, if available, email address.
4. You must include the following statement: "I have a good-faith belief that use of the copyrighted material described above is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
5. You must include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
6. You must sign the notice of alleged infringement.
7. You must send the written communication to the Designated Agent (by fax or regular mail – not by email) to the following:

   Via regular mail to:
   
   Copyright Agent
   c/o Brandwise
   1819 Denver West Drive
   Bldg. 26, Suite 450
   Lakewood, Co 80401
   or via fax to 303 788-9975, Attn: Copyright Agent

Once a proper notice of alleged infringement is received by our Copyright Agent, it is our policy: (1) to remove or disable access to the infringing material or content; (2) to notify the supplier that we have removed or disabled access to the material; and (3) that repeat offenders will have the infringing material removed from the system and that we will terminate such supplier’s access to our service.

Counter Notification

To file a counter notification with bwconnect™ you must strictly comply with these instructions. Please be advised that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially represent that any material or content is infringing the copyright of another. If you are not certain whether the material or content is infringing the copyright of another, you should consider consulting with an attorney before filing your notice.

If the supplier believes that the content or material that was removed or to which access was disabled is either not infringing, or that it has the right to use such content or material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, the supplier may send a counter notification pursuant to the Act.

To file a counter notification with us, you must provide a written communication (by fax or regular mail -- not by email, except by prior agreement) that sets forth the items specified below.

To expedite our ability to process your counter notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):

1. Identify the specific URLs at which the allegedly infringing content or material appeared before bwconnect™ removed or disabled access to such content or material, and identification of the content or material that we removed or to which we has disabled access.
2. Provide your name, address, telephone number, e-mail address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the County of New York, New York if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
3. Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that each search result, message, or other item of content identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
4. You must sign the counter notification.
5. You must send the written communication to our Copyright Agent (by fax or regular mail – not by email) to the following:

   Via regular mail to:
   
   Copyright Agent
   c/o Brandwise
   1819 Denver West Drive
   Bldg. 26, Suite 450
   Lakewood, Co 80401
   or via fax to 303 788-9975, Attn: Copyright Agent

When a counter notification is received by our Copyright Agent, we will make a good-faith effort to send a copy of the counter notification to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the supplier, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter notification.
