How to send Z7 a copyright takedown notice, who our designated agent is, how to file a counter-notification, and our repeat-infringer policy. This summary is for convenience and is not part of the policy.
Z7 Solutions LLC ("Z7 Solutions," "we," "our," or "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others, and we ask the users and visitors of our website and services to do the same. It is our policy to respond to clear notices of claimed copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512 (the "DMCA").
This policy explains how a copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on a copyright owner's behalf, may notify us of material that the owner believes infringes a copyright. It also explains how a user whose material has been removed or disabled may submit a counter-notification, describes our repeat infringer policy, and summarizes the consequences of knowingly submitting a false notice or counter-notice. This policy applies to material that is stored at the direction of users on systems or networks operated by or for Z7 Solutions.
This policy is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. If you are unsure whether material infringes a copyright, or whether a particular use is authorized, you may wish to consult an attorney before submitting a notice or a counter-notification.
If you believe that material available on or through our website infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, you may send a written notice of claimed infringement (a "Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent identified in Section 3 below.
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(A), your Notice must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following six elements:
1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if a single Notice covers multiple copyrighted works at a single online site, a representative list of those works.
3. 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 to which access is to be disabled, together with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material, such as the specific URL or direct link to the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, the complaining party, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the Notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3)(B), a Notice that fails to comply substantially with all of the elements above may not be treated as providing actual knowledge or awareness of infringing activity. Incomplete Notices may delay or prevent our response. Please send only copyright-related communications to the Designated Copyright Agent; unrelated support, sales, billing, or general inquiries sent to the agent may not receive a response.
Notices of claimed infringement and counter-notifications under this policy should be directed to our Designated Copyright Agent at:
Z7 Solutions LLC Attn: DMCA Copyright Agent 7380 W Sand Lake Rd, Suite 500-110 Orlando, FL 32819
Email: [email protected] Phone: (844) 974-8669
Upon receiving a Notice that substantially complies with the requirements of Section 2, we will respond as provided under the DMCA. In appropriate cases, we expect to:
1. Remove or disable access to the material that is identified in the Notice as infringing, or to which infringing activity relates.
2. Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted or stored the material that we have removed or disabled access to it, where we are able to identify and contact that user.
3. Inform the affected user, where applicable, of the right to submit a counter-notification under Section 5 of this policy.
We may, where the circumstances warrant and to the extent permitted by law, forward a Notice to the user whose material is the subject of the Notice, and we may make a copy of the Notice available to third parties or the public after redacting personal information as we consider appropriate. Information you submit in a Notice may be shared with the user who posted the material that is the subject of your Notice.
If your material has been removed or disabled as a result of a Notice, and you believe that the removal or disabling was the result of a mistake or a misidentification of the material, you may submit a written counter-notification (a "Counter-Notification") to our Designated Copyright Agent identified in Section 3.
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3), your Counter-Notification must be a written communication that includes substantially all of the following elements:
1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. 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.
3. 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.
4. Your name, mailing address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Z7 Solutions may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original Notice or from an agent of that person.
After we receive an effective Counter-Notification, we may provide a copy of it to the person who submitted the original Notice, and we may inform that person that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it. Where the DMCA so provides, we may restore the removed or disabled material in not less than ten and not more than fourteen business days following receipt of the Counter-Notification, unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from the person who submitted the original Notice that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our system or network. Information you submit in a Counter-Notification may be shared with the person who submitted the original Notice.
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. 512(i), Z7 Solutions has adopted and reasonably implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers. We determine what constitutes an appropriate circumstance on a case-by-case basis and in our discretion, consistent with the DMCA. Termination of access under this policy may be in addition to any other remedy available to Z7 Solutions or to a copyright owner under applicable law.
Please be aware that, under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or its authorized licensee, or by Z7 Solutions, as the result of our reliance on the misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material, or in replacing the removed material or ceasing to disable access to it. Before submitting a Notice or a Counter-Notification, please consider whether the use at issue may be authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law, including by the principles of fair use.
We may update or modify this policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices, in our services, or in applicable law. When we make changes, we will revise the version information at the top of this policy. Any updated version becomes effective when it is posted at the canonical location identified above, and your continued use of our website or services after an update constitutes acceptance of the revised policy. This policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and applicable federal law, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 5, to the extent any dispute relating to this policy is not committed to a particular court by the DMCA, the state and federal courts located in or serving Orlando, Florida, including the United States District Court for the Middle District of Florida, shall have jurisdiction over that dispute, where venue in those courts is proper.
