DMCA - Fios Gateway

The Website https://fiosgateway.org/ respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. Our policy is to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998. This policy explains the steps to take if you believe your copyrighted material has been used on our website in a way that violates your rights.

1. Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

Suppose you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or used on this website without your authorization in a way that constitutes copyright infringement. In that case, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice by providing the following information to our designated DMCA agent:

A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
A description of where the infringing content is located on the Website (please include a URL or detailed information).
Your contact information, including an address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information you have provided is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content and take reasonable steps to notify the user responsible for the content.

2. Filing a Counter-Notice

If you believe that the content removed or disabled by the DMCA notice was done so in error, or that you have the right to use the content (e.g., the content belongs to you or is authorized by the copyright owner), you may submit a counter-notice to our DMCA agent. The counter-notice must include:

Your physical or electronic signature

Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, along with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in your area and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and inform them that we may restore the content within 10 business days unless the original complainant files a lawsuit seeking a court order to prevent the restoration of the material.

3. Repeat Infringers

Following the DMCA and other applicable laws, fiosgateway.org will terminate user accounts that are deemed to be repeat infringers. We reserve the right to define what constitutes “repeat infringement.”

4. Limitations of Liability

Fiosgateway.org assumes no liability for any content posted by users that infringes third-party copyright. If you believe your intellectual property rights have been violated, please follow the DMCA notification process outlined above.

5. Changes to this Policy

We reserve the right to modify or update this DMCA policy at any time. It is the responsibility of users to check this page periodically for any changes.
