YOU HEREBY WAIVE THIS SECTION OF THE CALIFORNIA CIVIL CODE. YOU HEREBY WAIVE ANY SIMILAR PROVISION IN LAW, REGULATION, OR CODE THAT HAS THE SAME INTENT OR EFFECT AS THE AFOREMENTIONED RELEASE.

Reporting Instances of Copyright Infringement:

If you believe that Content residing or accessible on or through this site infringes a copyright, please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Designated Agent at the address below:

  1. Identification of the work or material being infringed.
  2. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including its location, with sufficient detail so that Exsom is capable of finding it and verifying its existence.
  3. Contact information for the notifying party (the "Notifying Party"), including name, address, telephone number and e-mail address.
  4. The name of the party whose copyright has been infringed, if different from your name.
  5. A statement that the Notifying Party has a good faith belief that the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or law.
  6. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided in the notice is accurate and that the Notifying Party is authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
  7. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed.
  8. After removing material pursuant to a valid DMCA notice, Exsom may attempt to notify the Subscriber responsible for the allegedly infringing material that it has removed or disabled access to the material. Exsom reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to immediately terminate the account of any Subscriber who is the subject of repeated DMCA notifications.

Although no similar provisions exist under EU law, we recommend that you submit similar information to us about any alleged infringement from an EU location.

Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notification:

If you believe you are the wrongful subject of a DMCA notification, you may file a counter-notification with Exsom by providing the following information to the Designated Agent at the address below:

  • The specific URLs of material that Exsom has removed or to which Exsom has disabled access.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the federal district courts located in Austin, Texas if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  • The following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
  • Your signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Exsom will forward it to Notifying Party who submitted the original DMCA notification. The original Notifying Party (or the copyright holder he or she represents) will then have ten (10) days to notify us that he or she has filed legal action relating to the allegedly infringing material. If Exsom does not receive any such notification within ten (10) days, we may at our discretion restore the material to the Site.
