DMCA Policy

Rotational Force Crossword ("we", "us", or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 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 claims of copyright infringement committed using the Rotational Force Crossword service that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA notice to Rotational Force Crossword and provides details on how to submit a valid counter-notification if you believe your content was wrongly removed.

Filing a DMCA Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via the Rotational Force Crossword service, please notify our Copyright Agent immediately by providing a written notice containing the following information (the "DMCA Notice"). Your notice must comply with the DMCA. To be effective, the DMCA Notice must include substantially the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed: A detailed description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material that you claim is infringing and where it is located on the Rotational Force Crossword service, with enough detail that we may find it. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate the content quickly.
  3. Contact information of the complaining party: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief: That the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate: And, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Please send your DMCA Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent via the contact page, selecting "DMCA / Copyright Inquiry" as the subject.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Copyright Agent (the "Counter-Notice"):

  • Identification of the material: Identify the specific content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (URL) at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury: A statement by you, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your contact information: Your name, address, and telephone number.
  • Consent to jurisdiction: 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 Rotational Force Crossword may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  • Your physical or electronic signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Please send your Counter-Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent via the contact page, selecting "DMCA / Copyright Inquiry" as the subject. If a Counter-Notice is received by our Copyright Agent, Rotational Force Crossword may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Rotational Force Crossword may restore the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be restored, or access to it re-enabled, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice, at our sole discretion.
