COPYRIGHT AND DMCA POLICY<\/strong><\/h4>\n

This policy explains how Flipboard responds to claims of the unauthorized use of copyrighted text, images or links to allegedly infringing materials under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (\u201cDMCA\u201d).<\/p>\n

THE DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Section 512<\/a>\u00a0of the DMCA lays out the legal requirements to formally report copyright infringement to a service provider like Flipboard. It also explains how the person who posted the content at issue can oppose a notice of alleged infringement by submitting a counter-notice.<\/p>\n

A CRUCIAL DETAIL: DO YOU HAVE RIGHTS IN A COPYRIGHTED WORK?<\/strong><\/h4>\n

Sending a copyright notice or counter-notice is serious business. The DMCA imposes legal and financial penalties for making fraudulent or bad-faith claims. Make sure you\u2019re the actual copyright holder or that you\u2019ve been authorized to act on a rights holder\u2019s behalf before submitting a takedown notice.<\/p>\n

HOW TO SUBMIT A COPYRIGHT NOTICE<\/strong><\/h4>\n

To send us a notice concerning copyright infringement, you\u2019ll need to provide us the following information:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf (typing your full name will do);<\/li>\n
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (e.g., a copy of or link to your original work or clear description of the materials allegedly being infringed);<\/li>\n
  3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit Flipboard to locate the material on our services (e.g., a link to the infringing post);<\/li>\n
  4. Your contact information, including your address, telephone number and an email address;<\/li>\n
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner asserted is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and<\/li>\n
  6. 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 copyright owner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    You can report alleged copyright infringement by emailing the above information to\u00a0[email protected]<\/a>.<\/p>\n

    You can also mail a copyright notice to:<\/p>\n

    HOW FLIPBOARD RESPONDS TO COPYRIGHT CLAIMS<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    Flipboard\u2019s response to notices of alleged copyright infringement may include removing or restricting access to allegedly infringing material. If we remove or restrict access to content in response to a copyright notice, we\u2019ll make a good-faith effort to get in touch with the affected account holder to provide information about the situation.<\/p>\n
    WHEN YOU RECEIVE WORD OF A DMCA NOTICE<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    If you receive a message from us saying that content you\u2019ve posted has been removed from Flipboard, please read it carefully as it may contain information about your options and the nature of the takedown notice we received.<\/p>\n
    HOW TO FILE A COUNTER-NOTICE<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    If you receive a DMCA notification about material you\u2019ve posted and you believe that material was misidentified or removed in error, you can file a counter-notice by following the instructions below.<\/p>\n
    To submit a counter-notice, please send us the following information:<\/p>\n
      \n
    1. A physical or electronic signature (typing your full name will do);<\/li>\n
    2. 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 (the description from the DMCA notice is enough);<\/li>\n
    3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have 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<\/li>\n
    4. Your name, address and telephone number, and 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 your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Flipboard may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the copyright notification or an agent of such person.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      To submit a counter-notice, please respond to our original email letting you know about the removal, and include the above information in the body of your reply.<\/p>\n
      Note<\/em>: If you re-post material removed in response to a DMCA notification, we may permanently suspend your account. If you believe content was removed in error, please consider filing a counter-notice instead of re-posting the material.<\/p>\n
      AFTER YOU SUBMIT A COUNTER-NOTICE<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      When we receive a valid counter-notice, we\u2019ll promptly forward a copy to the person who sent us the copyright notice. If we aren\u2019t told within 10 business days that the original reporter is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the material, we may replace or cease disabling access to the material that was removed.<\/p>\n
      REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      Flipboard has a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of account holders who are repeat infringers. In general, we consider a \u201crepeat infringer\u201d to be a user that has uploaded content to Flipboard and for whom Flipboard has received more than two takedown notices that are compliant with applicable law with respect to such content. Additionally, we reserve the right to terminate account holders who infringe on a single occasion if the circumstances warrant.<\/p>\n"}
