DMCA Policy

Chirurgie Aschaffenburg respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that are properly provided to us.

This policy outlines the procedures for submitting notices of alleged copyright infringement and counter-notices concerning content hosted on our websites or services.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on the Chirurgie Aschaffenburg website or services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify our designated Copyright Agent by submitting a written DMCA Notice of Infringement. Your notice must include substantially the following information:

  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 at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  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 Chirurgie Aschaffenburg to locate the material.
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Chirurgie Aschaffenburg to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
  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.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the Chirurgie Aschaffenburg website or services was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated Copyright Agent. Your counter-notification must include substantially the following information:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the 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 Chirurgie Aschaffenburg may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Chirurgie Aschaffenburg will promptly provide the complaining party with a copy of the counter-notification and inform them that Chirurgie Aschaffenburg will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. If we do not receive notice from the complaining party that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on our system within 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification, we may replace or restore access to the material.

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages.
