Copyright and Intellectual Property Policy
WishPlz has adopted the following general policy regarding copyright and intellectual property
infringement in accordance with U.S. intellectual property laws and the
Digital Millennium Copyright Act WishPlz will also respond to notices of infringement from jurisdictions
other than the U.S. The address of WishPlz's Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement
("Designated Agent") is at the end of this policy.
WishPlz may act quickly to respond to a proper notice by (1) removing or disabling access to material
claimed to be subject of infringing activity; and possibly (2) removing and discontinuing service to
repeat offenders. If WishPlz removes or disables access in response to such a notice, WishPlz will make
a good-faith attempt to contact the allegedly infringing party ("Member") so that they may make a
counter-notification.
A. Procedure for Reporting Copyright or Intellectual Property Infringements:
If you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your intellectual property, you may
be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees). Therefore, if you are not sure whether the material
infringes upon your intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting WishPlz.
If you believe that material residing on or accessible through the WishPlz web site or service infringes a
copyright or other intellectual property right, to provide WishPlz of notice of such infringement, you must send
a written notice of the infringement to the Designated Agent listed below. Please specify the type of infringement
at issue and the notice must include the following information:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or
intellectual property right that has been allegedly infringed upon (by fax or regular mail – not by email,
except by prior agreement);
- Identification in sufficient detail of the material being infringed upon (for an allegation of a patent
infringement, please provide a patent number);
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing upon the intellectual property. Include
information regarding the location of the infringing material with sufficient detail so that WishPlz is
capable of finding and verifying its existence (for listings, please provide item numbers);
- Contact information about the notifier including the name of the intellectual property owner, the name and
title of the person contacting WishPlz on the owner's behalf, the address, telephone number and, if available,
e-mail address;
- A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material is not authorized by the intellectual
property or copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
- A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is
authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the intellectual property or copyright owner.
When removing material from the site, WishPlz will make reasonable attempts to inform the Member of the removal,
the reason for the removal, and may provide the Member with a copy of the notice and the notifying party’s contact
information.
B. Removal of Allegedly Infringing Material
Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is received by the Designated Agent, WishPlz may remove or disable
access to the material infringing upon the intellectual property. If WishPlz removes or disables access to content
in response to an infringement notice, WishPlz will make reasonable attempts to notify the Member that WishPlz has
removed or disabled access to the material. Repeat offenders will have all material removed from the system and WishPlz
will terminate such Members’ access to the service.
C. Responding to a Notice of Infringement
If you materially misrepresent that a product or activity is not infringing upon the intellectual property, you may
be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees). Therefore, if you are not sure whether or not the material
infringes on the intellectual property, please contact an attorney before contacting WishPlz.
If you as a Member believe that your material was removed in response to a Notice of Infringement despite that material
not infringing upon a copyright or other intellectual property right, you may send our Designated Agent a counter-notice
pursuant to 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. Please do not re-list or reactivate the material
yourself. The counter-notice must provide the following information:
- Your physical or electronic signature (by fax or regular mail – not by email, except by prior agreement);
- 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 the you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled
as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material;
- Your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction
of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the Member’s address is located, or if your address is located
outside the United States, for any judicial district in which WishPlz is located, and that you will accept service of
process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
- 5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the Member’s
address is located, or if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which WishPlz is
located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or
an agent of such person.
If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, WishPlz may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining
party informing that person that WishPlz may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the
copyright or intellectual property owner files an action seeking a court order against the Member, the removed material may be
replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice, at WishPlz’s discretion.
