Notification of Copyright Infringement

Masters by IPPAWARDS (“Masters by IPPAWARDS,” “we,” or “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our website to do the same. It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

If you are a copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or are authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged infringements taking place on or through the Site by sending a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Counter-Notification

If material you posted was removed or access to it was disabled and you believe the removal or disabling was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a Counter-Notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your Counter-Notification must include:

1. Your signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

3. Good-faith statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

4. Contact and consent: Your name, 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 outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Masters by IPPAWARDS may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or that person’s agent.

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we may forward it to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against you within ten business days, we may restore the material.

Repeat Infringers

Consistent with the DMCA and other applicable law, Masters by IPPAWARDS may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
