Copyright Policy

Revision 11.21.2022

Table of Contents

1. Introduction

We respect the intellectual property rights of all people and expect our Members to do the same. This Copyright Policy (the “Copyright Policy”) describes all of our policies and procedures regarding copyrights, and provides a legal recourse for intellectual property owners to report cases of potential infringement.

This Copyright Policy is an ancillary agreement of the Terms of Service to which this Copyright Policy is annexed.

Any capitalized terms that are not defined in this Copyright Policy have the meaning as defined in the Terms of Service.

The term “iazo Entities” means iazo, Inc., and any and all subsidiaries, affiliates, related companies, partners, and the officers, directors, employees, contractors, agents, and representatives of each of them.

The terms “Member,” “Members,” “User,” and “Users,” may refer to you individually and/or all Members of iazo collectively, depending upon usage and context.

Please read this Copyright Policy carefully before choosing to use iazo. If you have any questions pertaining to this Copyright Policy, please ask us by contacting Copyright@iazo.com.

2. Awareness and Responsibility

The iazo Platform contains an extensive amount of intellectual property, and it is therefore extremely important for all Members to be aware of and respect the intellectual property rights of others, including but not limited to, copyright and trademark rights. When creating, authoring, and/or publishing Member Content on the Platform, it is your responsibility alone to ensure that the Member Content does not infringe upon the intellectual property rights or any rights of iazo Members, other persons, businesses, or entities. If you are not the owner of the intellectual property that you post, publish, and/or make available on iazo, you must first obtain all necessary licenses, permissions, and rights from the owner of the intellectual property to use that content on iazo.

For further information regarding Member Content and your responsibilities, please read the Member Content section of our Terms of Service.

3. Protections and Actions

We believe in protecting the intellectual property rights of all people, and this extends far beyond the Members of iazo. We therefore monitor iazo for infringement of intellectual property rights, including but not limited to, copyright and trademark rights, and when appropriate will take corrective action(s) to protect the intellectual property rights of iazo Members, other persons, businesses, and entities.

If you infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others, we may remove your infringing Member Content, in whole or part, to be determined at our sole discretion. It is also our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to suspend or delete the iazo accounts of Members who repeatedly infringe or are charged repeatedly with infringing the intellectual property rights of others.

4. Reporting Infringements with a Flag

The quickest way to report an infringement of intellectual property on iazo is with a Flag. Any Post or Comment can be quickly flagged by pressing the Flag Inappropriate Content button for the specific Post or Comment. All submitted Flags are carefully reviewed, and if a Post or Comment receives beyond a certain number of Flags, it will be automatically removed from the Platform until we have had a chance to officially review it.

If you believe that your copyright has been infringed, select the Copyright Infringement option when adding the Flag. Please make sure to enter a detailed description of how the Member Content is infringing your copyright. We will require detailed information to support your infringement claim before we can take any action(s) to protect your rights. When necessary we may contact you and/or the publisher of the Flagged Content to obtain further information and details.

We may review Flags at the time and rate of our choosing, and when appropriate remove Flags from a Post or Comment. All decisions regarding Flags, and how they are judged against our Terms of Service, all of our Policies and Guidelines, or any law or regulation, are at our sole discretion. We have the right and authority to change, modify, or delete any Post or Comment, without notice, and at our sole discretion, that has been Flagged, or that we feel violates our Terms of Service, any of our Policies and Guidelines, or any law or regulation.

Please be advised that submitting a Flag is not a legal process and may not result in your desired outcome. To engage in a legal process that protects your intellectual property rights please File a Complaint with a DMCA Notice.

5. Filing Complaints with a DMCA Notice

We provide a convenient mechanism for copyright owners and the authorized representatives of copyright owners to report infringing use of their intellectual property on iazo. This is accomplished by filing a complaint (a “DMCA Notice” or “Copyright Complaint”) in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”). To file a DMCA Notice you must provide us with specific required information regarding your copyright and the nature of the claimed infringement. After you file your DMCA Notice we will review, investigate, and make a determination regarding your complaint as quickly as possible.

Please be advised that filing a DMCA Notice is a serious matter involving a legal process. We highly encourage you to contact the Member who you believe has infringed your intellectual property before filing a DMCA Notice. It is possible that you will be able to resolve this matter by speaking with that person directly.

By submitting a DMCA Notice you are authorizing us to provide your contact information and the content of your notice to the individual or entity that posted, published, and/or used the intellectual property you are reporting. You may also receive a DMCA Counter Notice from the individual or entity you have reported, in which case you will have to take further actions in order to protect your copyright. Please read the Complaints Filed Against Your Content section for information regarding DMCA Counter Notices.

6. Complaints Filed Against Your Content

In the event that the owner of a copyright files a DMCA Notice against your Member Content, we will contact you to make you aware of the allegation. After we have completed our review and investigation, we may remove your Member Content, in whole or part, from the Platform, to be determined at our sole discretion. We will inform both parties (you and the original complainant) with the results of our determination and to let you know what other options may be available. If you believe that the complaint was filed against your Member Content in error, you do have the option to file a DMCA Counter Notice. Please read the Filing a DMCA Counter Notice section for further information and instructions.

When we receive a properly formatted DMCA Counter Notice, we will forward it to the original complainant for their response. The original complainant will then have ten (10) business days to respond back to us with a statement that they are serving a cease and desist letter and/or seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of their copyright. If we do not receive a response from the original complainant within ten (10) business days, we will clear the DMCA Notice from your iazo account’s record, and at our sole discretion, may restore your Member Content that was previously removed.

7. Filing a DMCA Counter Notice

Before you choose to file a DMCA Counter Notice, please consider that there can be extremely serious legal ramifications for fraudulent, frivolous, or erroneous notices. You should only file a DMCA Counter Notice if you are absolutely certain that you are the legal owner of the copyright (or are the authorized representative of the legal owner of the copyright), or if you have a good faith belief that the Member Content was erroneously reported as infringing.
