SiteBuilder Now is committed to complying with U.S. copyright law and requests that all those who access and use its services do the same. In conformity with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”) SiteBuilder Now has implemented Copyright Infringement Notification and Counter Notification procedures. SiteBuilder Now may, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, terminate the accounts of, or service to, users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others.

Upon receipt of a Notification containing all the information requested above, SiteBuilder Now will remove or disable access to the material that is alleged to be infringing, forward written Notification to the alleged infringing Client, and take reasonable steps to promptly notify the Client that SiteBuilder Now has removed or disabled access to the material.

Copyright Infringement Counter Notification

If you believe in good faith that a Notification of Copyright Infringement has been wrongfully submitted against you, you may submit a counter-notice to SiteBuilder Now’s designated agent for notice at the address listed above. Include the following information in the Counter Notification:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled;

  • Your contact information, including, name, address, telephone number; 
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the Service Provider may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification or an agent or such person; and
  • Provide your physical or electronic signature or that of a person authorized to act on your behalf.

Following receipt of a Counter Notification that contains all the information requested above, SiteBuilder Now will (i) promptly provide the party complaining of infringement that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) business days, and (ii) replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, provided SiteBuilder Now’s designated agent has not received notice from the party complaining of infringement that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain Client from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on SiteBuilder Now’s network or hosted Web page.

SiteBuilder Now reserves the right to revise, amend, or modify its copyright infringement notification and counter-notification procedures at any time and in any manner without prior notice, and with such changes effective upon posting.
