Effective Date: 5/25/2024
Hikmavision.com (“we,” “us,” “our,” or the “Website”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA.
This DMCA Policy outlines the procedure for copyright holders to notify us of alleged infringements and the procedure for users to respond to such notices.
1. Designated Copyright Agent
To report suspected copyright infringement, please notify our Designated Copyright Agent. All infringement notifications should be submitted to:
DMCA Designated Agent Hikmavision.com Email: [email protected] Website: hikmavision.com [Physical Address – Highly Recommended for DMCA Compliance: e.g., Street Address, City, State, Zip Code, Country] [Phone Number – Optional but Recommended]
Please note: For your notification to be effective under the DMCA, it must be a written communication provided to our Designated Agent that includes substantially the information detailed below. We recommend consulting with an attorney if you are unsure whether material on our Website infringes your copyright.
2. Notification of Copyright Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on our Website (hikmavision.com) infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
- 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 access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the specific URL(s) of the page(s) where the allegedly infringing material is located).
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement that the information in the notification 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.
Failure to include all of the above information may result in a delay in processing your DMCA notification.
Upon receipt of a compliant infringement notification, Hikmavision.com will:
- Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
- Notify the user who posted the allegedly infringing material (if identifiable) that the material has been removed or access to it has been disabled.
3. Counter-Notification Procedures
If you believe that material you posted on Hikmavision.com was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us by submitting the following information in writing to our Designated Copyright Agent:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- 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 (e.g., the original URL).
- 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.
- 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Hikmavision.com may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original infringement notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notification, Hikmavision.com will:
- Promptly provide the complaining party (the person who submitted the original infringement notification) with a copy of the counter-notification.
- Inform the complaining party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days.
- Replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless our Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice from the complaining party that such party 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.
4. Repeat Infringer Policy
It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
