7. Digital Millennium Copyright Act

WLT respects the intellectual property of others and expects users of the Site to do the same. At WLT’s sole discretion and in appropriate circumstances, we may terminate the accounts of users or prevent access to the Site, Content, and/or Services by users who infringe upon the intellectual property rights of others.

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide written notice to WLT’s Copyright Agent with the following information:

  • A subject line that says “DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice”
  • an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest;
  • a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed;
  • a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Site, that is reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (please include the URL);
  • your address, telephone number, and email address;
  • a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the copyright or intellectual property owner’s behalf.

WLT’s agent for notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement can be reached as follows:
M. McCafferty, General Counsel
ph: 508-368-6695
fax: 508-368-2312
email: Mjmccafferty@wilsonlanguage.com

It is often difficult to determine if copyright has been infringed. WLT may elect to not respond to DMCA Notices that do not substantially comply with all the foregoing requirements, and WLT may elect to remove allegedly infringing material that comes to its attention via notices that do not substantially comply with DMCA.

Please note that the DMCA provides that any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability.

We may send the information that you provide in your notice to the person who provided the allegedly infringing work. That person may elect to send us a DMCA Counter-Notification.

Without limiting WLT’s other rights, WLT may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate an infringer’s access to the Site.
