POLICIES
DIGITAL
MILLENIUM COPYRIGHT ACT POLICY
Notice and
Takedown Procedure
It is Endeavor’s policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices of
alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page describes the information that
should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting notices
of alleged infringement to Endeavor as straightforward as possible while
reducing the number of notices that Endeavor receives that are fraudulent or
difficult to understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is
consistent with the form suggested by the DMCA, but Endeavor will respond to
notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.
It is expected that users of any part of
the Endeavor site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if
Endeavor receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our
response to these notices will include removing or disabling access to the
material claimed to be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating
subscribers, regardless of whether Endeavor may be liable for such infringement
under United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction.
If we remove or disable access in response
to such a notice, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the owner or
administrator of the affected site or content so that they may make a counter
notification pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. We may also
document notices of alleged infringement on which we act.
Designated Agent
Endeavor’s Designated Agent to receive notification of alleged infringement
under the DMCA is:
Dennis Johnson
Director of Network Operations
E-mail: djohnson@weendeavor.com
Physical Mail: 2 South West Street, P.O. Box 237, Cloverdale, IN 46120
Upon receipt of proper notification of
claimed infringement, Endeavor will follow the procedures outlined herein and in
the DMCA.

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes
copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise
violated, please provide Endeavor’s Registered Agent listed above the following
information in a written communication (preferably by e-mail):
1.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if
multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single
notification, a representative list of such works at that site;
2.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be subject
of the infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be
disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Endeavor to locate the

in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent,
or the law.”;

behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Please note that you may be liable for
damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent
that material is infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure
whether material available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you
first contact an attorney.
Counter
Notification
A provider of content subject to a claim of infringement may make a counter
notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. To file a
counter notification with us, please provide Endeavor’s Registered Agent (listed
above) the following information in a written communication (preferably via
e-mail):
1.
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been
disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed
or access to it was disabled;
2.
Your name, address, and telephone number;
3.
The following statement: “I consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District
Court for the Southern District of Indiana”;
4.
The following statement: “I will accept service of process from [insert the name
of the person who submitted the infringement notification] or his/her agent”;
5.
The following statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good
faith belief that the affected material was removed or disabled as a result of a
mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled”; and
6.
Your signature, in physical or electronic form.
Upon receipt of such counter notification,
Endeavor will promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement
notification with a copy of the counter notification, and inform that person
that Endeavor will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it
in 10 business days. Endeavor will replace the removed material and cease
disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days
following receipt of the counter notice, unless our Designated Agent first
receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement
notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to
restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the
material on our system or network.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(a) of the DMCA, Endeavor will, in
appropriate circumstances, disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who
are repeat infringers.
Accommodation of
Standard Technical Measures
It is Endeavor’s policy to accommodate and not interfere with standard
technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted
works that Endeavor determines are reasonable under the circumstances.
