DMCA for Science Quest
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy (“Policy”) applies to the ScienceQuest.net website (“Website” or “Service”) and any of its related products and services (collectively, “Services”). It outlines how the Website operator (“Operator,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) addresses copyright infringement notifications and how you (“you” or “your”) may submit a copyright infringement complaint.
At ScienceQuest, we take the protection of intellectual property seriously and expect our users and their authorized agents to do the same. It is our policy to respond promptly to clear notifications of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) of 1998. You can find the full text of the DMCA on the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint
If you are uncertain whether the material you wish to report is in fact infringing, we recommend contacting an attorney before filing a notification with us.
The DMCA requires you to provide personal information when submitting a copyright infringement notification. If you are concerned about privacy, you may wish to use an agent to report the infringement on your behalf.
Submitting a Notification of Infringement
If you are a copyright owner or an authorized agent and believe that any material available on our Services infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notification (“Notification”) using the contact information provided below. Your Notification must comply with the DMCA requirements.
Filing a DMCA complaint is the beginning of a legal process. We will review your complaint for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If your notification meets all the necessary requirements, we may remove or restrict access to the allegedly infringing material.
If we take action in response to a DMCA notification—such as removing content or restricting access—we will make a good-faith effort to notify the affected user and provide information regarding the action taken.
Please note: We reserve the right to take no action if the DMCA notification fails to meet all legal requirements.
Changes and Amendments
We may update this Policy at any time, at our discretion. When we do, we will post a notice on the homepage of ScienceQuest.net. We may also notify users through other contact methods provided by you.
The updated Policy will take effect immediately upon posting, unless otherwise specified. Continued use of the Website and Services following the update constitutes your consent to the new terms.
