Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice

Valex respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement that are reported to our designated copyright agent.

DMCA Takedown Procedure

If you believe that content available on or through the Valex service infringes one or more of your copyrights, please immediately notify our Copyright Agent by submitting a written DMCA notice ("Infringement Notice") containing the information described below. If we take action in response to an Infringement Notice, we will make a good faith attempt to contact the party that made such content available through the most recent email address provided to us.

Your Infringement Notice must include:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Infringement Notices should be sent to our designated agent at:

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our copyright agent:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the content that has been removed and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed.
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in the district where you reside.
6. 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 our copyright agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at our sole discretion.

Repeat Infringers

We take copyright infringement very seriously. In appropriate circumstances, we will terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights, including copyrights. We reserve the right, at our sole discretion, to terminate the account of any user who has multiple complaints of copyright infringement against them.
