Procedures for Requesting the Removal of Infringing Material
The owner of a copyrighted work (or the agent for the owner) who believes that material posted on the Site infringes on the copyrighted work may request that the allegedly infringing material be removed from the Site by notifying the Association’s designated agent for such purposes. The notice must:
a) identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
b) provide the electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
c) include a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
d) include a statement by you that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you attest, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf; and
e) include your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
You may submit your notice of alleged copyright infringement to our designated copyright agent by mail or email as set forth below:

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, if you submit a notice and you materially misrepresent that content on the Site is infringing. Upon receiving a proper notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and promptly notify the alleged infringer of your claim. We will also advise the alleged infringer of the statutory counter-notification procedure described below by which the alleged infringer may respond to your claim and request that we restore his or her material.
If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed by us from the Site as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our designated copyright agent. To be effective, your counter-notice must:
a) identify the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
b) include a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found;
c) include a statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the notice of alleged copyright infringement or the party’s agent;
d) provide your name, address and telephone number;
e) include a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; and
f) include your physical or electronic signature.

Access to the site by any Users who repeatedly infringe copyright will be terminated.
