In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, which can be found here http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, and specifically in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Company Website if such claims are reported to Company’s Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Website by completing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Company’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of Notice as described below, we will take whatever action in our sole discretion as we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Website. Please note that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this section and of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your DMCA notice may not be valid.

  • Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by your Notice, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
  • Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Website or the exact location where such material may be found.
  • Provide your company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
  • Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:
    • “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use).”
    • “I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of, the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”
  • Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.
  • Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Company’s Designated Copyright Agent: ADDRESS REQUIRED

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright holder, the holder’s agent, or pursuant to law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to SEEDS of Creativity’s Copyright Agent:

  • Your physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the content that was removed or to which access has been disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in Ontario, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in ten business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against SEEDS of Creativity or the person who has posted allegedly infringing content, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in ten business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice.

SEEDS of Creativity does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of SEEDS of Creativity or of others. SEEDS of Creativity reserves the right to terminate the access and/or use privileges of any person who has been determined to be a ‘repeat infringer’ of the copyrights of SEEDS of Creativity or others. SEEDS of Creativity reserves the right to define the criteria by which SEEDS of Creativity will determine that a person is a ‘repeat infringer.’ In the event that ‘repeat infringer’ is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 U.S.C. § 512, SEEDS of Creativity will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting SEEDS of Creativity’s right to define ‘repeat infringer,’ as a general rule, SEEDS of Creativity will define a ‘repeat infringer’ as any person or entity about whom SEEDS of Creativity has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. SEEDS of Creativity will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not termination of access and/or use privileges of a ‘repeat infringer’ is appropriate.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SEEDS OF CREATIVITY TERMINATES ACCESS AND/OR USE PRIVILEGES OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, ‘REPEAT INFRINGER’ OR OTHERWISE, SEEDS of Creativity IN NO WAY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AGAINST COPYRIGHT INFRINGERS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS VIOLATORS, NOR WILL SEEDS OR CREATIVITY INDEMNIFY OR PROVIDE LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO ANY ALLEGED INFRINGER IN ANY ACTION ARISING FROM THE ALLEGED INFRINGERS USE OF ANY SEEDS OR CREATIVITY WEBSITE OR SERVICE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE.
