Copyright Infringement and the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), and specifically 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a copyright agent has been designated to receive notification of a claimed copyright infringement for the Website. If you are a copyright owner or an agent of a copyright owner and believe your copyrighted work is being infringed on by any guest blogs posted on the Website, please notify our copyright agent: Lisa Christie at 1901 East Asbury Avenue, (303) 285-2960 or lisac@wfco.org.

When notifying us of the alleged copyright infringement, please be sure to include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Website 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 the Website to locate the material.
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit the Website to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted.
• 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.

If you neglect to provide any of the requested information or otherwise comply with this section and DMCA, your notice may not be valid. In addition, if you file a notice containing false information, you may be liable for damages and your actions may constitute perjury. Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will remove the offending material and notify the Website user who posted the infringing User Contribution.

If you have posted User Contribution that is removed, and you believe such removal was a mistake or that you have the necessary licenses or permissions to post the User Contribution, you may send the copyright agent designated above a counter-notice. According to DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)), the counter-notice must contain the following information:

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.
• 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 Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which WFCO may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.

After receiving such a counter-notice, we may send a copy of it to the party who sent the original notice. If the owner of the copyright does not file a court action, WFCO, in its sole discretion, may replace or restore the removed User Contribution ten (10) or more days after receiving the counter-notice.

Additional Terms

These Terms of Use constitute the entire agreement between you and WFCO and supersede any prior understanding or agreements, oral or written. All captions, titles, headings, and divisions in these Terms of Use are for purposes of convenience and reference only, and shall not be construed to limit or affect the interpretation of the Terms of Use. You may not assign or delegate any of your rights or obligations under these Terms of Use. WFCO may assign these Terms of Use at its sole discretion, without notice, and at any time. No waiver of any default or breach of any agreement or provision herein contained shall be deemed a waiver of any other default or breach thereof or of any other agreement or provision herein contained. If any provision or portion of a provision of these Terms of Use is declared void and/or unenforceable, such provision or portion shall be deemed severed from these Terms of Use, which shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. The provisions of these Terms of Use shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding on, you and WFCO and yours and its successors, assigns, employees, legal representatives, heirs, distributees, and transferees, by operation of law, whether or not any such person shall become a party to these Terms of Use or have agreed in writing to join or be bound by the terms and conditions of these Terms of Use.
