DMCA Policy

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy (“Policy”) applies to the mazerscan.net website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”) and outlines how this Website operator (“Operator”, “we”, “us” or “our”) addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.

Protection of intellectual property is of utmost importance to us, and we ask our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998, the text of which can be found at the U.S. Copyright Office website.

What to consider before submitting a copyright complaint

Before submitting a copyright complaint to us, consider whether the use could be considered fair use. Fair use states that brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder. If you have considered fair use and still wish to proceed with a copyright complaint, you may want to first reach out to the user in question to see if you can resolve the matter directly.

Please note that if you are unsure whether the material you are reporting is infringing, you may wish to contact an attorney before filing a notification with us.

Notifications of infringement

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof, and you believe that any material available on our Services infringes your copyrights. You may submit a written copyright infringement notification using the contact details below pursuant to the DMCA. All such Notifications must comply with the DMCA requirements. You may refer to a DMCA takedown notice generator or other similar services to ensure compliance of your Notification.

Filing a DMCA complaint initiates a legal process. Your complaint will be reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your complaint meets these requirements, our response may include removing or restricting access to the allegedly infringing material. We may also require a court order from a court of competent jurisdiction before taking action.

If we remove or restrict access to materials or terminate an account in response to a Notification of alleged infringement, we will make a good faith effort to notify the affected user. This notification may include a full copy of your Notification (including your name, address, phone, and email address), along with instructions for filing a counter-notification.

Counter-notifications

A user who receives a copyright infringement Notification may make a counter-notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the US Copyright Act. If you receive such a Notification, it means that the material described in the Notification has been removed from our Services or access to the material has been restricted. Please read through the Notification carefully for information on the content involved. To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication compliant with the DMCA requirements.

If we receive a counter-notification that complies with the terms of 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), we may forward it to the person who filed the original Notification.

Other remedies

The process described in this Policy does not limit our ability to pursue any other remedies we may have to address suspected infringement.

Changes and amendments

We reserve the right to modify this Policy or its terms relating to the Website and Services at any time, effective upon posting an updated version of this Policy on the Website. When we do, we will notify you via email.
