DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT (“DMCA”) NOTICE

Notification of Infringing Material

Earth Clinic, LLC and www.earthclinic.com complies with the federal Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and will respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws. If you believe any material available on www.earthclinic.com infringes a copyright, including materials or links to third-party websites, you should notify Earth Clinic using the procedure for claimed infringement under the DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), as outlined in Section 1, below.

If we receive such a Notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material in compliance with the DMCA. We also will make a good faith effort to contact the registered user or entity who allegedly posted the infringing material in order to give them the opportunity to make a Counter Notification in compliance with the DMCA.

Because parties providing Notice or Counter Notification under the applicable terms of the DMCA are required to state that the notice they submit is under penalty of perjury, any such party may wish to contact a lawyer before serving either a “Notice of Infringing Material,” or a “Counter Notification.”

Section 1: Notice of Infringing Material

To be effective, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication to our Designated Agent that includes substantially the following:

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

(ii) 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.

(iii) 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 the service provider to locate the material.

(iv) Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider 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.

(v) 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.

(vi) 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.

You must send your written Notice to the Earth Clinic Copyright Agent for Notice of Claims of Copyright Infringement pursuant to the DMCA who is:

D. Layne – Designated Agent for DMCA Notices
Email: Contact Us Form

Upon receipt of a proper Notice pursuant to the DMCA, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and promptly notify the subscriber of your claim. We also will advise the subscriber of the DMCA statutory Counter Notification procedure described below. The subscriber may then choose to respond to your claim and request that we restore this material.

Section 2: Counter Notification

If you believe copyrighted material has been removed by Earth Clinic by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written Counter Notification to our Designated Agent pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2) and (3). To be effective a Counter Notification must be a written communication sent to our Designated Agent that includes substantially the following:

(i) Your physical or electronic signature.

(ii) 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 access to it was disabled.

(iii) 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.

(iv) Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Earth Clinic may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided Notification to Earth Clinic under subsection 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.

Section 3. Earth Clinic Response to Counter Notification

Upon receipt of a counter notification Earth Clinic will:

(i) promptly provide the person who provided the Notification to us under Section 1, above, with a copy of the Counter Notification, and inform that person that we will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days; and

(ii) replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the Notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512 (c)(1)(C) [Section 1, above] that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our website.
