DMCA Policy

AIReplacedMyJob.com respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains our policy and procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement and provides the information required to submit a takedown notice or counter-notification.

We qualify for the "safe harbor" limitations on liability provided by the DMCA for online service providers. Specifically, we operate under the protections of § 512(c) (storage at the direction of users) and § 512(d) (information location tools) where applicable. To maintain safe harbor protection, we have designated a copyright agent as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2) and have registered that agent with the United States Copyright Office.

Safe harbor protection means that we are not liable for copyright infringement committed by third parties using our platform, provided we comply with the DMCA's notice-and-takedown procedures, act expeditiously to remove infringing material upon receiving a valid notice, and do not receive a financial benefit directly attributable to infringing activity when we have the ability to control it.

Our designated agent for receiving DMCA notifications is:

We strongly prefer that notices be submitted by email, as this allows for the fastest processing. Physical mail is accepted but may result in slower processing. Notices sent by any other channel (e.g., social media, contact form) may not be processed as valid DMCA notices.

If you are a copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe that material on our Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice to our designated agent. To be valid and actionable under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following elements:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is permitted.
2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material that you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate that material on the Site. Providing the specific URL(s) where the allegedly infringing material appears is the most efficient method.
3. Your contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, so that we may contact you regarding your notice.
4. Good faith statement: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Accuracy statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate.
6. Perjury statement: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
7. Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf. An electronic signature (typing your name in the signature block of an email) satisfies this requirement.

Incomplete notices will not be processed. A notice that does not comply with all requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) may not provide actual notice for the purposes of DMCA safe harbor, and we may decline to act on it. We will make a reasonable attempt to contact you if your notice appears substantially complete but is missing minor information.

Misrepresentation warning: Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Before submitting a notice, please carefully consider whether the material at issue is actually infringing, and whether fair use, license, or other doctrines may permit the use.

Upon receipt of a valid and complete takedown notice, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and will notify the user or poster, if identifiable, that their material has been removed.

If material you posted to the Site has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA takedown notice, and you believe that the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a valid counter-notification must include:

1. Identification of removed material: A description of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed.
2. Good faith statement: A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
3. Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if you are outside the United States, of any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or their agent.
4. Your contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party and inform them that we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party files a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material and notifies us of that court action. If no court action is filed within that period, we may, in our discretion, restore the material.

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), it is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We define a repeat infringer as any user against whom we have received two or more valid and complete DMCA takedown notices that were not successfully contested via counter-notification, within any 12-month period.

We reserve the right to make reasonable business judgments in applying this policy, including terminating access of a user after a single notice if the circumstances indicate willful or egregious infringement. Conversely, we may decline to terminate a user whose material was the subject of notices that we determine were submitted in bad faith.

Because our Site is primarily informational and does not host user-generated content broadly, situations giving rise to repeat infringer determinations are expected to be rare. However, this policy applies to any user who submits content to any tool, form, or submission mechanism on the Site.

We accommodate and do not interfere with standard technical measures that copyright owners use to identify or protect copyrighted works, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(B). If you are a copyright owner who uses a standard technical protection or identification system and believe our systems are interfering with it, please contact us at [email protected] so we may investigate and correct the issue.

This page describes our DMCA policy and procedures. It does not constitute legal advice. Copyright law and the DMCA are complex. If you have questions about whether specific material infringes your copyright, or whether a use of your work qualifies as fair use, you should consult a qualified intellectual property attorney before submitting a notice.
