3. How to submit a DMCA Takedown Notice (copyright owner)

To submit a claim of copyright infringement, the copyright owner (or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf) must provide a written notification containing the following information in order to be valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit WPARTS to locate the material (for example, the exact URL(s) of the listing(s) or content on the Site).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit WPARTS to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
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 notification is accurate and that the complaining party is the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

4. How WPARTS will process a valid DMCA Notice

• Upon receipt of a properly-formatted notice, WPARTS will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material in accordance with the DMCA. WPARTS will also make a good-faith attempt to contact the user who posted the material and will provide the user with the complaining party’s notice (or a redacted copy as allowed by law).
• WPARTS will retain records of notices and actions taken, and may preserve copies of removed content for legal purposes.
• If the alleged infringing user submits a timely and proper counter-notice (see below), WPARTS may restore the material in accordance with the DMCA’s timelines unless the complaining party files a court action seeking a restraining order.

5. Counter-Notice (if material was removed and poster believes

removal was mistaken)

A user who believes content removed or disabled by WPARTS was removed by mistake may submit a written counter-notice containing the following elements under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. The user’s physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before removal (e.g., the URL).
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
4. The user’s name, address, telephone number, and a statement that the user consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the user’s address is located (or, if the user’s address is outside the U.S., that the user will accept service of process from the complaining party), and that the user will accept service of process from the complaining party.
5. Send the counter-notice to: legal@wparts.com (or via postal mail to the address above).

After receiving a valid counter-notice, WPARTS will forward the counter-notice to the complaining party and inform them that we will replace the material in no fewer than 10 and no more than 14 business days, unless the complaining party files an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the infringing activity.

6. False Claims and Penalties

Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. WPARTS reserves the right to pursue all available remedies against persons who knowingly submit false or bad-faith takedown notices. Conversely, WPARTS will consider bad-faith counter-notices to be actionable.

7. Repeat Infringer Policy

WPARTS will terminate, in appropriate circumstances and at WPARTS’ sole discretion, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. WPARTS defines “repeat infringer” as a user who has (a) previously been the subject of a valid DMCA takedown notice and has not cured the violation after notice and/or (b) has received three (3) or more valid DMCA notices within a rolling 12-month period. WPARTS may modify thresholds or provide additional warnings at its discretion. WPARTS will also terminate accounts where a user’s activity is flagrantly infringing or where termination is required by law.

8. Contact and Service of Process

DMCA notices should be directed to the Copyright Agent at legal@wparts.com.
