DMCA Copyright Policy

If you believe that material on the Service infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent (the “Notice”). To be effective under the DMCA, the Notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single Notice, a representative list of those works);
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, with enough detail to permit us to locate it (for example, the URL of the listing, review, or job post, or the specific photo or document at issue);
• Your contact information, including name, 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 authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Send your Notice to our designated DMCA agent:

DMCA Agent
VendorSource
Email: kbarry@vendorsource.us

A mailing address for our DMCA agent will be added here and filed with the U.S. Copyright Office. Until then, please send Notices by email.

Notices that do not substantially comply with the requirements above may not be effective.

Warning. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or authorized licensee, or by us, as the result of our relying on the misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material.

Upon receipt of a Notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the Notice;
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that the material has been removed or disabled; and
• Forward a copy of the Notice to that user.

If you are a user whose content has been removed or disabled in response to a Notice, and you believe in good faith that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send us a written counter-notification (the “Counter-Notice”). To be effective, the Counter-Notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification;
• Your name, address, and telephone number; and
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, in any judicial district in which VendorSource may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original Notice, or from an agent of that person.

Send your Counter-Notice to the DMCA agent address above.

If we receive a valid Counter-Notice, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original Notice and inform them that we may restore the removed material within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days unless they notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

Warning. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages.

We will, in appropriate circumstances and in our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users and Vendors who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the Service or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe intellectual property rights, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

This policy describes our process for responding to claims of copyright infringement on the Service. It is not legal advice. If you have questions about your rights under copyright law, consult a licensed attorney.

VendorSource is not a law firm and this policy is not legal advice.
