DMCA Policy

Clarence Dock respects the intellectual property rights of others. We comply with the provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and similar applicable laws. This policy outlines our procedure for handling copyright infringement claims related to content published on our website.

We are committed to protecting the original work of creators. We expect all users and contributors to our articles hub to respect copyright law. We will respond promptly to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on the Clarence Dock website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a written DMCA Takedown Notice to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your notice must include the following information:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. Please provide specific details, such as the title of the work and any registration numbers.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. Include information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on our site (e.g., specific URLs of the articles).
Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Sending a notice that substantially fails to comply with these requirements may delay or prevent action on your complaint.

Counter-Notification Process

If material you posted on Clarence Dock was removed or access to it was disabled due to a copyright infringement notice, and you believe the material was removed in error or misidentification, you may send a Counter-Notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. Your counter-notice must include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled. Specify the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or 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.
Your name, address, and telephone number.
A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or if you are outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which Clarence Dock may be found). You must also accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
