DMCA Policy for Grilled Broccoli

Grilled Broccoli ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Grilled Broccoli website and/or services (the "Service") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy outlines the procedure for filing copyright infringement notifications and counter-notifications. We reserve the right to remove any content without prior notice, at our sole discretion, and without liability to you, if such content infringes the copyright of a third party.

Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice (DMCA Takedown Notice)

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on Grilled Broccoli infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a written notification of claimed infringement (a "DMCA Takedown Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed: This includes a description of the copyrighted work, and, if available, a copy or the location (e.g., URL) of an authorized version of the work.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing: Provide specific 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 us to locate the material (e.g., URL(s) on the Grilled Broccoli website).
  3. Contact Information of the Complaining Party: Provide your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. Electronic or physical signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Takedown Notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it.

Filing a Counter-Notification (DMCA Counter-Notice)

If you believe that your content that was removed or disabled is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification (a "DMCA Counter-Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled: This includes the URL(s) where 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 a misidentification of the material.
  • Your Name, Address, and Telephone Number.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located: If your address is outside of the United States, you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which Grilled Broccoli may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Takedown Notice or an agent of such person.
  • Your electronic or physical signature.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Counter-Notice, we will promptly forward a copy to the complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.
