Copyright Dispute Policy.

Acne.org has adopted the following policies and procedures toward copyright infringement in accordance with Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c), which is part of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). The address designated for Acne.org’s Recite of Notification of Claimed Infringement is provided at the bottom of this section. It is Acne.org's policy to (i) respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA; and (ii) terminate the accounts of those determined by Acne.org to be "repeat infringers".

  1. Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements. If you are a copyright owner or agent thereof, and believe that your copyright is being infringed in connection with the Site, please send a written notification to the designated address below detailing the alleged infringement. Your written notification must include:

    1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
    2. Identification of the Content on the Site that allegedly infringes upon the copyrighted work at issue, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Acne.org to locate such Content;
    3. A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the use of the Content identified in your notice in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
    4. A statement by you that you attest, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf; and
    5. Your physical or electronic signature, together with your contact information (address, telephone number and, if available, email address).

    Please note that Acne.org may, at its sole discretion, send a copy of such notices to third parties for publication. For example, your letter (with personal information removed) may be forwarded to Chilling Effects (http://www.chillingeffects.org) for publication. Please note that you may be subject to liability under Section 512(f) of the DMCA if you materially misrepresent that content on the Site infringes your copyright.

  2. Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice. If you believe that Content has been mistakenly removed from the Site pursuant to this DMCA policy, you may send a written counter-notice including the following:

    1. Identification of the Content that was removed, and the location on the Site where it would have been found prior to its removal;
    2. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification;
    3. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Acne.org is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under 512(c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person; and
    4. Your physical or electronic signature, together with your contact information (address, telephone number and, if available, email address).
