Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy

Welcome to https://www.herewilliamsburg.com/ (the “Site”). We respect the intellectual‑property rights of others just as we expect others to respect ours. Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, Title 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), a copyright owner (or agent) may submit a takedown notice to our DMCA Agent. As an internet‑service provider, we claim safe‑harbor immunity for user‑generated content when we follow the DMCA’s procedures.

Notice of Infringement – Claim

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner (or authorized agent);
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (please include the full URL);
4. Information reasonably sufficient to contact the complaining party (name, physical address, email, phone and fax);
5. A statement of good‑faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law; and
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and—under penalty of perjury—that the complaining party is authorized to act for the copyright owner.

17 U.S.C. § 512(f) imposes civil liability (including costs and attorneys’ fees) on anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents information in a DMCA notice. Send all takedown notices through our Contact page or by email for prompt attention. We may share the identity and content of any claim with the alleged infringer.

Counter‑Notification – Restoration of Material

If you received a takedown notice, you may submit a counter‑notification to have the material restored. Your counter‑notice must include (§ 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. A description of the material removed and its original location before removal;
3. A statement—under penalty of perjury—that you have a good‑faith belief the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your district (or any district where we may be found if outside the U.S.) and will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice; and
5. Send the counter‑notice via our DMCA Contact Form or email [email protected].

Repeat‑Infringer Policy

We maintain a record of DMCA notices and, in good faith, identify repeat infringers. Accounts that violate our repeat‑infringer policy will be terminated.

Modifications

We reserve the right to modify this page and our DMCA procedures at any time. Please review this policy periodically for changes.
