DMCA Notice.

Last updated: [NEED DATE OF PUBLICATION]

Alternative Pharm Press respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects readers, contributors, and brand partners to do the same. This page explains how to send us a copyright takedown notice under the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.

When to send a notice.

Send a DMCA notice if you are the owner of a copyrighted work, or you are authorised to act for that owner, and you believe that material on alternativepharmpress.com infringes your copyright.

What a valid notice must include.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a valid notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorised agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works).
3. The URL or sufficiently specific description of the material you say is infringing.
4. Your contact information — name, postal address, telephone number, and email.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

Notices that omit these elements may be invalid and may not be acted on.

What happens next.

When we receive a valid notice, we will review it promptly, remove or disable access to the material we determine is likely infringing, and notify the user who posted it. We may also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers.

Counter-notification.

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may send a counter-notice meeting the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). Counter-notices must include your contact information, identification of the removed material, a statement under penalty of perjury that the removal was a mistake or misidentification, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate US federal court.

Bad-faith notices.

Section 512(f) of the DMCA allows damages against any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing. Please send notices in good faith.
