Copyright and DMCA Policy

Intelligena LLC, a California limited liability company respects copyright and responds to notices of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512.

1. Designated agent

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

2. How to send a notice of claimed infringement

To be effective, a notice must be a written communication that includes all six of the following. A notice missing any of them does not trigger our obligation to act, and we will tell you what is missing rather than act on it — removing material on an incomplete notice would breach the poster’s own rights.

1. A physical or electronic signature of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed, or of a person authorised to act on their behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list where multiple works at one site are covered by one notice.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it — a direct URL is best.
4. Your name, address, telephone number and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

3. What we do with a notice

On receiving a complete and effective notice we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material, notify the person who posted it, and give them a copy of the notice including the contact details you provided — which §512(g) requires us to do, so do not send anything in a notice you are not willing to have forwarded.

4. Counter-notification

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to dmca@intelligena.com containing:

1. your physical or electronic signature;
2. identification of the material removed and 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; and
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, if outside the United States, to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for San Diego County, California), and that you will accept service of process from the person who gave the original notice or their agent.

We will forward your counter-notice to the original complainant. Unless they notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you, we will restore the material no sooner than 10 business days after we forward it, and no later than fourteen business days after that, as §512(g)(2)(C) requires. The clock runs from the day we forward the counter-notice, not the day we receive it.

A counter-notice is a sworn statement and carries the same §512(f) exposure for a knowing material misrepresentation as a notice does.

5. Repeat infringers

We terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe copyright. An account accumulating 3 upheld copyright complaints within any twelve months is terminated. A strike is issued only for an upheld copyright complaint — not for a trade mark, defamation or other complaint — expires after 365 days — twelve months —, and is withdrawn if the complaint is retracted or successfully counter-noticed.

6. Trade mark and other complaints

The DMCA applies to copyright only. For trade mark, right-of-publicity, defamation or privacy complaints, write to legal@intelligena.com setting out the right you hold, the material complained of and how to reach you.

7. Status of agent registration

Designation of an agent with the U.S. Copyright Office is a separate registration, and the statutory safe harbour under §512(c) is available only once it is on file and kept current. This page states our process and our contact point; it does not by itself effect that registration.
