DMCA Policy

1. Overview

Affinity Vials LLC ("Affinity Vials") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the website to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that substantially comply with the requirements set forth below.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Notifications of claimed copyright infringement on the website should be sent to our Designated Agent:

Only DMCA notifications should be directed to the Designated Agent. Other inquiries should be sent to the contact addresses listed in our Terms of Service or Privacy Policy.

3. Notice of Claimed Infringement

To submit a notification of claimed copyright infringement, please provide our Designated Agent with a written communication (by email or postal mail) containing all of the following:

(a) A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;

(b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works);

(c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (such as the URL of the page on the website where the material appears);

(d) Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address;

(e) 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; and

(f) 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.

Notifications that do not include all of the required elements may not be effective under the DMCA and may not be acted upon.

4. Response to Notice

Upon receipt of a notification that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will:

(a) Investigate the claim within a reasonable time;

(b) Remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing, where appropriate;

(c) Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that it has been removed or disabled.

We may, at our discretion, decline to act on a notice that does not substantially comply with the DMCA's requirements.

5. Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to the Designated Agent. To be effective, the counter-notification must include:

(a) Your 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 was disabled;

(c) 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;

(d) 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 you reside (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of an effective counter-notification, we will promptly provide a copy to the person who submitted the original notification. We may restore the removed material after ten (10) business days unless the original notifier provides notice that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We consider a "repeat infringer" to be a user about whom we have received more than one valid DMCA notice within a rolling twelve (12) month period and as to whom no successful counter-notification has been filed.

7. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by Affinity Vials, the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or any party harmed by the misrepresentation. Submit notices and counter-notifications truthfully.

8. No Legal Advice

This Policy provides general information about our DMCA process. It is not legal advice. If you are unsure of your rights, consult an attorney before submitting a notice or counter-notification.

9. Modifications

We may update this Policy from time to time. The "Last Updated" date at the top indicates the most recent revision.
