Copyright & DMCA Policy

Overview

Coaches and club directors supply their own photos, bios, and accolades to BookVolley. We respect copyright and respond to valid notices of infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512).

Designated agent

Send copyright notices to Carter Durivage, BookVolley.com, at carterdurivage8@gmail.com. Please put “DMCA Notice” in the subject line.

What a notice must include

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed
• The URL or a description specific enough for us to locate the material on BookVolley
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf

What we do next

On receiving a valid notice we remove or disable access to the material, notify the coach or director who posted it, and tell them why. Repeat infringers have their listing removed and their account terminated.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the same address. It must include your signature, identification of the removed material and where it appeared, a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed in error, and your name, address, and telephone number together with consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your district. We may restore the material after ten business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly misrepresents that material is infringing — or was removed by mistake — may be liable for damages.
