DMCA Policy

Last Updated: December 8, 2024

Introduction

Chapman SEO LLC respects intellectual property rights and is committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines our procedures for responding to notifications of alleged copyright infringement and explains how to submit a DMCA takedown notice regarding content on our websites. As a content production company using advanced artificial intelligence and large language models (LLMs), we take our responsibility to respect copyright seriously.

Copyright Compliance Commitment

We maintain a strict policy of respecting intellectual property rights in our educational legal content creation process. Our content is generated using AI technology and is designed to be original and non-infringing. However, we recognize the importance of having clear procedures in place to address any allegations of copyright infringement promptly and effectively.

DMCA Notification Requirements

To submit a valid DMCA takedown notice, the notification must be in writing and include the following information:

1. Physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf
2. Description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
3. Description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on our website, including the specific URL
4. Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address
5. 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
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner

Response Procedures

3. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content if the claim appears valid
4. Make reasonable attempts to contact the content creator or responsible party
5. Document all actions taken in response to the notice
6. Maintain records of the notification and our response

Counter-Notification Procedures

If content is removed due to a DMCA notice, the affected party may submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal was mistaken or that they have the right to use the content. Counter-notifications must include:

1. Physical or electronic signature of the affected party
2. Identification of the material removed and its former location
3. Statement under penalty of perjury that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
4. The affected party’s contact information

Content Restoration

If we receive a valid counter-notification and the original complainant does not notify us of legal action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content. However, we reserve the right to maintain the removal if we have concerns about potential liability or infringement.

Repeat Infringer Policy

We maintain a strict policy against repeat copyright infringement. We will terminate access and remove content from users or sources who are found to be repeat infringers. We maintain appropriate records to identify and track potential repeat infringers.

False Claims

We take false claims of copyright infringement seriously. Parties who submit false claims may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. All DMCA notices must be submitted in good faith with a reasonable basis for the claim.

Modifications to Content

We reserve the right to modify, replace, or remove any content that is subject to a DMCA notice, even if we believe the claim may be disputed, to minimize potential liability and maintain our commitment to copyright compliance.

Educational Resources

As part of our commitment to copyright compliance, we provide educational resources about copyright law and intellectual property rights. However, as with all our content, this information is for educational purposes only and should not be considered legal advice.

Policy Updates

We reserve the right to update this DMCA policy at any time to reflect changes in our practices or legal requirements. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to our websites. Continued use of our websites after any changes constitutes acceptance of these changes.
