COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT POLICIES

General Statement 

Centrovision’s subscribers and account holders may not upload, post, route, transmit, link or otherwise make available on or via the Online Express^® Service any material protected by copyright in a manner that infringes that copyright.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), Centrovision’s policy is to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the Online Express Service of any subscriber or account holder who is a repeat infringer.  If you believe that a Centrovision subscriber or account holder has engaged in repeated infringement of your copyrighted materials in connection with the Online Express Service, please provide our office with information sufficient to show that the subscriber or account holder is a copyright infringer and that appropriate circumstances exist for Centrovision’s termination of such subscriber or account holder.  In particular, we request that you establish to our satisfaction that your methodology for determining that the identified subscriber or account holder is an infringer is accurate, reliable and fair.

Right to Terminate or Suspend Service

Notwithstanding our Repeat Infringer Policy set forth above, as provided in the Centrovision Subscriber Agreement, we expressly reserve the right to terminate or suspend the service of any subscriber or account holder even for a single act of copyright infringement. 

Termination of Service

Each subscriber and account holder agrees that, if he or she is terminated pursuant to this policy, he or she will not attempt to establish a new account with Centrovision under any name, real or assumed.  Please note that not all services provided by Centrovision limit usage to subscribers and account holders, and that Centrovision is not able to terminate service usage by users who are neither subscribers nor account holders. 

Reservation of Rights

These policies do not affect any other rights that Centrovision may have under law or contract, and all such rights are expressly reserved by Centrovision. 

DMCA Notices and Counter-Notices

The DMCA provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law.  Specifically, if you believe in good faith that material infringing your rights resides on the Centrovision Service by reason of storage at the direction of any user, or that such infringing material is at an online location that is referred or linked to via an information location tool (such as a directory, index, reference, pointer or hypertext) made available as part of the Online Express Service, you (or your agent) may send to Centrovision a notice requesting that Centrovision remove the material or block access to it.  If you believe in good faith that someone has wrongly submitted to us a notice of copyright infringement against you, the DMCA permits you to send to us a counter-notice.  Notices and counter-notices should be sent to Centrovision’s designated copyright agent (see below), and must meet the following requirements:

(1)  A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;

(2)  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;

(3)  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 Centrovision to locate the material;

(4)  Information reasonably sufficient to permit Centrovision 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;

(5)  A statement that the complaining party has 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; and

(6)  A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
