Infringement Policy

Ashley Stewart, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. Section 512 as amended by Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA"), reserves the right, but not the obligation, to terminate your license to use the Site if it determines in its sole and absolute discretion that you are involved in infringing activity, including alleged acts of first-time or repeat infringement, regardless of whether the material or activity is ultimately determined to be infringing. Ashley Stewart accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to protect their materials. In addition, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. Section 512(c), Ashley Stewart has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed infringements and for processing such claims in accordance with the DMCA. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may provide us with written notification of your claim in accordance with the requirements of the DMCA summarized below.

If you believe that any Submissions or other material residing on or accessible through the Site infringes a copyright, please send a written complaint that complies with the requirements below and is delivered to our ‘”Designated Agent” to receive notification of claimed infringement:

By mail:

Ashley Stewart Compliance
Ashley Stewart, Inc.
150 Meadowlands Parkway Suite 403
Secaucus, NJ 07094

In addition, any written notice regarding any defamatory or infringing activity, whether of a copyright, patent, trademark or other proprietary right must include the following information:

A. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of (1) the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed or (2) the person defamed.

B. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. Similarly, for materials that are defamatory or infringe patent, trademark, or other proprietary rights of a third party, please submit a list of such materials.

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

D. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your address, telephone number, and/or electronic mail 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 or other proprietary right owner, its agent, or the law.

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 or on behalf of the person defamed.

Once proper infringement notification is received by the Designated Agent, it is Ashley Stewart’s policy to: (a) remove or disable access to the infringing material; (b) notify the provider of the material or user that it has removed or disabled access to such material; and (c) terminate repeat infringers’ access to the Site.

A person who receives a notification of alleged copyright infringement, and believes that the claim is erroneous, may submit a counter notification to Ashley Stewart’s Designated Agent within thirty (30) days of the date the material was removed from the site. To be effective, a counter notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

A. A physical or electronic signature of the person submitting the counter notification;

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 person submitting the counter notification has 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; and

D. The name, address and telephone number of the person submitting the counter notification and a statement that such person consents to the jurisdiction of the United States Federal District Court System for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if such person’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Ashley Stewart may be found, and that such person shall accept service of process from the person who provided the infringement notification or from their agent.

Upon receipt of a counter notification, containing the information as outlined above, Ashley Stewart shall promptly provide the complaining party with a copy of such counter notification and shall inform the complaining party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it. Ashley Stewart shall replace the removed material or cease disabling access to the material within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the counter notification, provided Ashley Stewart’s Designated Agent has not received notice from the complaining party that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity on the Ashley Stewart Site.

Account Termination

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Ashley Stewart may, in appropriate circumstances, at Ashley Stewart’s sole discretion, terminate access to the Site of any user that Ashley Stewart finds to be a repeat infringer.  Ashley Stewart reserves the right to define the criteria by which Ashley Stewart will determine that a user is a “repeat infringer.” In the event that “repeat infringer” is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 USC § 512, Ashley Stewart will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting Ashley Stewart’s right to define “repeat infringer,” as a general rule, Ashley Stewart will define a “repeat infringer” as any person or entity about whom Ashley Stewart has received three or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. Ashley Stewart will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not termination of access and/or use privileges of a “repeat infringer” is appropriate.

If you believe that a user is a repeat infringer, please follow the instructions above to contact Ashley Stewart’s Designated Agent and provide information sufficient for us to verify that the user has been determined to be in violation of the DMCA repeatedly.
