Should you hold the belief that any content accessible via our Website infringes upon one or more of your copyright(s), we invite you to send us a notification of alleged infringement (“Infringement Notice”) through an email detailing the specifics as outlined below to the designated email address provided. Suppose discussboss.com initiates any action based upon an Infringement Notice. In that case, efforts will be made in good faith to reach out to the individual or entity who made such content accessible using the latest email address they have provided to discussboss.com if such an email address exists.

It’s important to note that the Infringement Notice you submit may be shared with the individual or entity responsible for making the alleged infringing content available or possibly with third parties such as ChillingEffects.org.

We must caution you that any false claims or material misrepresentations in your notice regarding copyright infringement may subject you to liability for damages, including but not limited to legal costs and attorneys’ fees. Consequently, if there is any uncertainty on your part regarding the infringement status of content hosted on or linked from our Website, it may be prudent to seek legal advice before filing an Infringement Notice.

To ensure your Infringement Notice is considered valid, it must be sent to [email protected] as a plain text email without any attachments and must include the following information:

– A digital or electronic signature of the person who owns the copyright or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
– Clear identification of the copyright that you allege has been infringed upon.
– Detailed information about the content you claim is infringing your copyright, including a direct link to the specific blog post (not just the blog’s name) that contains the disputed content and a detailed description of the particular portion of the post (e.g., an image, a link, the text, etc.) you are referencing.
– Your contact details, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
– A declaration made by you stating: (a) a belief, in good faith, that the copyright law does not authorize the disputed use of the content, the copyright owner, or its agent; and (b) that all information in your notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, legal obligations require us to act by restricting access to the allegedly infringing content. Following this, you can submit a counter-notice if you believe the content was wrongly accused of infringement, requesting the restoration of access. Counter notices must be sent to [email protected] in plain text email form without attachments (as attachments are disregarded) and must include the following:

– Your full name, address, phone number, and a physical or electronic signature.
– Identification of the removed content and the location where it was accessible before its removal.
– A statement, under penalty of perjury, detailing the reasons the content was removed erroneously or due to misidentification.

By adhering to this structured approach, we ensure a balanced and lawful handling of copyright concerns, safeguarding the interests of all parties involved.
