Copyright — notice and takedown
Evaluations are written by the people who post them. If something published here infringes your copyright, this page is how to tell us, and what we do about it.
Designated agent
- ixaid, Inc. — Copyright Agent
- Win Aoyama 1403, 2-2-15 Minami-Aoyama, Minato-ku, Tokyo 107-0062, Japan
- support@ixaid.net
- Registration of this agent with the United States Copyright Office is in progress. Until it completes, notices sent here still reach us and are still acted on — what is not yet in place is the statutory safe harbour that registration confers.
Sending a notice
- Send notices to the address above, with “DMCA” in the subject line.
- A notice must identify the copyrighted work, identify the material you say infringes it precisely enough for us to find it — the page URL — and give your name, address, telephone number and email address.
- It must state that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; that the information in the notice is accurate; and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act for the copyright owner.
- It must be signed, physically or electronically.
What we do
- We remove or disable access to material that is the subject of a complete notice, and we tell the contributor that we have done so.
- A contributor who believes the material was removed by mistake may send a counter-notice. If they do, we may restore the material after ten business days unless we are told that court proceedings have been filed.
- We do not decide who owns a copyright. What we can do is act on notices and pass on counter-notices.
Repeat infringers
- We keep a record of notices we act on.
- An account whose contributions are repeatedly the subject of valid notices is terminated.
- Knowingly misrepresenting that material is infringing carries liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. §512(f). This route is not a way to remove an evaluation you disagree with — the route for that is to respond to it, or to dispute it.
Contributor information is not public. Where required by a valid legal request from a court, law-enforcement authority, or other competent body, we may provide information to the extent legally required.
