Copyright / DMCA Policy

Paynetic Technologies, publisher of ProcessorWatch, respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Site to do the same. This policy sets out how to notify us of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

Designated agent

Notice of alleged infringement

To be effective, a notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it on the Site (e.g., the URL).
4. Contact information for the complaining party (address, telephone number, and email).
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate, and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g) to the designated agent above, including the required statutory elements (identification of the removed material, statement under penalty of perjury, consent to jurisdiction, contact information, and signature).

Repeat-infringer policy

We may terminate the access privileges of users who are determined to be repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

Misrepresentation

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
