Copyright Information

Notification of Claimed Copyright Infringement:

If you believe that a Web page hosted by the Worthwhile Company, Inc. (the Company) is violating your rights under U.S. copyright law, you may file a complaint of such claimed infringement with the Company’s designated agent in the manner described below:

For your complaint to be valid under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and for action to be taken by the Company, the complainant must provide the following information when forwarding an alleged infringement notice:

A. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

B. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.

C. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of the infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled as well as information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to locate the material.

D. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.

E. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.

F. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

(For more details on the information required for valid notification, see 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)).

You should be aware that, under the DCMA, claimants who make misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement may be liable for damages incurred as a result of the removal or blocking of the material, court costs, and attorneys fees.

Notice and Material Removal Procedure

It is expected that all users and/or customers of the Company will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if the Designated Agent listed above is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, the Company will comply with DMCA by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. If reasonable under the circumstances, the Company may, in its sole discretion, notify the alleged infringer and provide a reasonable opportunity for the alleged infringer to remove the infringing material itself. The Company will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act in the event its Designated Agent receives a counter notification or counter-claim as described below.

Counter-claim to Claimed Copyright Infringement

If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you may file a counter-claim with the Company’s designated agent at the address listed above. Such counter-claim must contain the following information:

A. Physical or electronic signature.

B. 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.

C. A statement under penalty of perjury that the Member has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.

D. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the federal district in which you are located, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.

If the Company receives a valid counter-claim, the DMCA provides that the removed material will be restored, or access re-enabled.

Please be advised that U.S. copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counter-claim filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement.
