COPYRIGHT POLICY

LAST REVISION: June 25, 2018

Major Arena Soccer League (“MASL”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and provides this Copyright Policy to describe MASL’S policy of prohibiting users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on or to this website or app, any websites or apps on which this DMCA policy appears, including those at www.maslsoccer.com URLs (collectively, the “Sites”) any information or materials that violate another party’s intellectual property rights.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. It is MASL’S policy to respond to notices and counter-notices that properly conform with the DMCA’s requirements. Accordingly, notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see the Copyright Office’s web page at www.copyright.gov for details of the current DMCA requirements.

Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement

If you believe in good faith that materials hosted by MASL infringe your copyright (for example, photographs posted on or in a forum or as a comment), you (or your agent) may send MASL a written notification pursuant to the DMCA, by providing MASL’S DMCA Agent with the information listed below (and as further set forth in 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)) and requesting that the material be removed or access to it blocked:

Identification in sufficient detail of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works on the Sites are covered by a single notification, you may provide a representative list of such works on the Sites, however, the representative list must still contain sufficient detail of the copyrighted works so that MASL can identify them;
Identification of the URL or other specific location on or in the Sites that contains the material and identification of the material that you claim to be infringing your copyright. You must provide MASL with reasonably sufficient information to enable MASL to locate the alleged infringing material(s), so that MASL can comply with your request to remove or deny access to it/them;
Your name, and the address, telephone number and email address (if available) where you can be contacted;
The electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf;
A statement that you have 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; and
A statement that you swear under penalty of perjury that the information contained in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section A, your DMCA notice will not be valid.

You must submit any notification of an alleged copyright infringement to MASL’S DMCA Agent by fax, mail, or email as set forth below:

This contact information is for DMCA notifications and counter notifications ONLY. ALL OTHER INQUIRIES DIRECTED TO THE DMCA AGENT WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys’ fees, if you materially misrepresent that materials on the Sites are infringing a copyright.

Counter Notification

If you believe in good faith that your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Sites as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter notification letter to MASL’S DMCA Agent pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. To be an effective counter notification under the DMCA, your written correspondence must include substantially the following:

Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which your address is located, or in New York, New York if your address is outside the United States;
A statement that you will accept service of process from the party that filed the notification of alleged copyright infringement or the party’s agent;
Your name, address and telephone number;
A statement that you swear under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled, or that the material identified by the complaining party has been removed or disabled at the URL or Site location and will no longer be shown or accessible; and
Your physical or electronic signature.

You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section B, your DMCA counter notification will not be valid.

You may submit your counter notification to MASL’S DMCA Agent by mail or email as set forth below:

DMCA Agent
Major Arena Soccer League
1712 Main St, Suite 431
Kansas City, MO 64108

Phone: (888) 926-6387

Email:info@maslsoccer.com, with the subject line “Copyright Policy – DMCA Counter Notification”

This contact information is for DMCA notifications and counter notifications ONLY. ALL OTHER INQUIRIES DIRECTED TO THE DMCA AGENT WILL NOT BE ANSWERED.

If a counter notice is received by MASL’S DMCA Agent, MASL may send a copy of the counter notification to the original complaining party informing that person that MASL may replace the removed content or cease disabling it. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against MASL or the user, the removed content may be replaced or access to it restored by MASL.

Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees.

Repeat Offenders

If you believe that a user is a repeat infringer, please follow the requirements above, but also include information or evidence that will reasonably prove to MASL that the user is a repeat infringer. MASL takes copyright infringement very seriously. Pursuant to the repeat infringer provision of the DMCA, Section 512(i), MASL shall maintain a list of DMCA notices from copyright holders or on their behalf, and will make a good faith effort to identify and prohibit future posts by repeat offenders.

If you provide false information to MASL regarding any of the above notifications, counter-notifications or repeat infringer notifications, you may be subject to legal and equitable remedies.
