DebatePro DMCA Copyright Policy

Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

DebatePro respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond promptly to notices of alleged infringement that comply with applicable law.

If you believe that material available on or through our service infringes your copyright, you may request removal of that material (or access to it) by submitting a written DMCA notice to our designated copyright agent listed below.

DMCA Notice Requirements

Your DMCA notice must include substantially the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or, if multiple works, a representative list of such works
• Identification of the material you believe is infringing, in a manner reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material
• Adequate information for us to contact you (including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address)
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Designated Copyright Agent

DebatePro's designated copyright agent to receive DMCA notices is:

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material you posted on DebatePro was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Copyright Agent. The counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• 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 was disabled
• 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
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in which your address is located (or, if outside the U.S., that you consent to jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA notice or their agent

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed material in accordance with the DMCA.

Repeat Infringers

It is DebatePro's policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.
