DMCA Copyright Policy

Overview

BikerOrNot ("the Platform," "we," "us") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement that are reported to our designated copyright agent.

Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice

If you believe that content appearing on BikerOrNot infringes your copyright, you may submit a written takedown notice. To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following elements (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — including the URL(s) on BikerOrNot where the content appears.
4. Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe content was removed from BikerOrNot as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or any judicial district if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice.

Submit your counter-notice using our online counter-notice form or email it to dmca@bikerornot.com

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the original complainant and may restore the removed material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless our designated agent receives notice that the complainant has filed a court action.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, BikerOrNot has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
