DMCA Take Down Policy

Effective Date: 2024-09-12

TheFactDaily.com ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. It is our policy to respond to any claims of copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") and other applicable intellectual property laws.

If you believe that material available on or through our website TheDailyFact.com infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a DMCA Takedown Notice (a "Notice") by providing the following information to our Designated Copyright Agent listed below.

1. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

To be valid under the DMCA, your Takedown Notice must include the following information in writing:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this notice, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works.

  2. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the URL or specific location on the website where the material is found).

  3. 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.

  4. 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 the copyright that is allegedly infringed.

  5. Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, so we may contact you regarding your complaint.

  6. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Submission of DMCA Takedown Notices

You may send the written DMCA Takedown Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent using the following contact information:

Designated Copyright Agent
Anthony Sacom - anthony.sacom@thefactdaily.com

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Takedown Notice, we will promptly take the following actions:

  • Remove or disable access to the infringing material.
  • Notify the content provider, user, or member who posted the infringing content that we have removed or disabled access to the material.
  • If applicable, terminate repeat infringers' access to the site, in accordance with our policy for repeat offenders (described below).

3. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you, as the content provider, believe that the material removed or disabled is not infringing or that you have the right to post the material, you may submit a Counter-Notification to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes the following:

  1. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.

  2. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.

  3. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the United States or, if your address is outside the United States, the jurisdiction of any U.S. federal court in which the website may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.

  4. Your physical or electronic signature.

If a valid counter-notification is received, we may restore the removed content or cease disabling it within 10 to 14 business days, unless the party filing the original DMCA Takedown Notice files a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity related to the content on our site.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to our website or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

5. Misrepresentations

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. If you are unsure whether the material in question is infringing, it is advisable to seek legal counsel before filing a Notice with us.

6. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Takedown Policy at any time. We will notify you of any changes by posting the new policy on our website. It is your responsibility to review this policy periodically for any updates.
