DMCA Infringement Report Policy

Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Gizmo.com ("we," "us," or "our") is committed to protecting intellectual property rights, including copyrights. We take allegations of copyright infringement seriously and respond promptly to clear notices that comply with the requirements of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, please report the alleged infringement to our designated agent. You can contact us at: [email protected] 

Requirements for DMCA Notice

To properly submit an infringement notice under the DMCA, your report must include the following information:

1. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of an authorized person acting on behalf of the copyright owner whose rights are allegedly infringed.
2. Description of Infringing Material: Details of the infringing materials and their current location on the Gizmo website.
3. Identification of Copyrighted Work: A clear and precise identification of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed, in a form that allows us to verify the claim.
4. Contact Information: Your contact information, including your physical address, telephone number, and email address (if available), so we can reach you regarding your complaint.
5. Good Faith Statement: A statement affirming that you believe in good faith that the use of the material in question is unauthorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy Statement: A declaration that the information provided in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please be aware that under the DMCA, anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

Investigating Allegations

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notification, we will promptly investigate the matter. If we determine that the complaint is valid, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. Additionally, we will notify the third party who posted the content in question and provide them with the opportunity to respond.

Policy on Repeat Offenders

In accordance with the DMCA, we reserve the right to suspend or terminate the access of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright. This policy is enforced at our discretion.

Challenging Your Claim

We encourage you to consider the potential fair use implications of the material you believe infringes your copyright. We reserve the right to challenge any abuse of the DMCA process, and the use of this notification form does not waive that right.

Indemnification

If you willfully misrepresent that material or activity infringes on copyright, you may be liable for damages and must indemnify Gizmo (including costs and attorneys' fees) for any losses incurred.
