DMCA TAKEDOWN REQUEST

At Godoi Consulting, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. If you believe that any material available on our website infringes upon your copyright or the copyright of someone you represent, you may submit a DMCA (Digital Millennium Copyright Act) Takedown Request. The following guide outlines how to file a DMCA complaint and the steps we take to address such concerns.

1. UNDERSTANDING THE DMCA

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. copyright law designed to protect intellectual property owners from the unauthorized use of their works online. Under the DMCA, copyright holders or their authorized agents can request the removal of content that they believe infringes upon their copyright. At Godoi Consulting, we fully comply with the DMCA and take copyright infringement claims seriously.

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown request, Godoi Consulting will take the following steps:

– Review the Request: Our legal team will promptly review the DMCA request to determine its validity. We will ensure that all required information is provided and that the claim is legitimate.
– Remove or Disable Access to the Infringing Content: If we find that the request is valid, we will remove or disable access to the infringing material on our website.
– Notify the Alleged Infringer: We will notify the user or entity that posted the alleged infringing content, informing them of the DMCA takedown request. The alleged infringer will also be provided with information on how to file a counter-notification if they believe the takedown was made in error.

5. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCESS

If you are the owner of the content that was removed from our website due to a DMCA takedown request and believe that the removal was made in error, you have the right to file a counter-notification. The counter-notification must include the following:

5.1. YOUR CONTACT INFORMATION:

– Full name
– Mailing address
– Phone number
– Email address

5.2. IDENTIFICATION OF THE REMOVED CONTENT:

Provide a description of the material that was removed or disabled, along with the location (URL) where the material previously appeared.

5.3. A STATEMENT OF GOOD FAITH:
Include a statement declaring your good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification. This statement should be worded as follows:

“I 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.”

5.4. A STATEMENT OF CONSENT TO JURISDICTION:

You must include a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where you reside (or where the company is located, if you are outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original takedown notice or their agent.

5.5. YOUR SIGNATURE:

As with the takedown request, the counter-notification must include your physical or electronic signature.

Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we will review the claim and notify the original complainant. If the original complainant does not file a lawsuit within 14 business days to prevent the re-posting of the content, we will restore the material to our website.

6. PENALTIES FOR FALSE CLAIMS

It is important to note that under the DMCA, both copyright holders and individuals accused of infringement are subject to penalties for making false claims. Filing a false DMCA takedown request or counter-notification can result in significant legal consequences, including damages and legal fees. We encourage all parties to ensure that their claims are legitimate before submitting them.
