Overview
This Digital Millennium Copyright Act policy applies to the getinsync.ca website and related services. GetInSync addresses copyright infringement notifications according to the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998.
What to Consider Before Submitting a Copyright Complaint
Before filing a complaint, consider whether the use qualifies as fair use. “Brief excerpts of copyrighted material may, under certain circumstances, be quoted verbatim for purposes such as criticism, news reporting, teaching, and research, without the need for permission from or payment to the copyright holder.”
You may also attempt to resolve the matter directly with the user in question.
Per 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing. Consider consulting an attorney if unsure.
GetInSync may share your notification or counter-notification with the affected account holder or for publication. Consider hiring an agent to report on your behalf if concerned about information disclosure.
Notifications of Infringement
DMCA complaints initiate a legal process. Complaints are reviewed for accuracy, validity, and completeness.
GetInSync may remove or restrict access to allegedly infringing material and may permanently terminate repeat infringers’ accounts.
Upon removal or account termination, GetInSync will make a good faith effort to contact the affected user with information about the action, which may include a full copy of the notification with your contact details.
This policy does not limit other remedies available to address suspected infringement.
Changes and Amendments
GetInSync reserves the right to modify this policy at any time, effective upon posting an updated version on the website.
