Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

123-Web-Host/BASIC Networks is an Online Service Provider under Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. Section 512 ("DMCA"). We respect the legitimate rights of copyrights owners, and have adopted an efficient notice and takedown procedure as required by the DMCA as described below. This policy is intended to guide copyright owners in utilizing that procedure, and also to guide webmasters in restoring access to websites that are disabled due to mistake or hacking.

Notice to Owners of Copyrighted Works

The DMCA provides a legal procedure by which you can request any Online Service Provider to disable access to a website where your copyrighted work(s) are appearing without your permission. There are two parts to the legal procedure: (1) Writing a Proper DMCA Notice, and (2) Sending the Proper DMCA Notice to 123-Web-Host's Designated Agent.

How to Write a Proper DMCA Notice

A Proper DMCA Notice will notify 123-Web-Host of particular facts in a document signed under penalty of perjury. To Write a Proper DMCA notice, please provide the following information:

• Identify yourself as either:

a. The owner of a copyrighted work(s), or

b. A person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

• State your contact information, including your TRUE NAME, street address, telephone number, and email address.
• Identify the copyrighted work that you believe is being infringed, or if a large number of works are appearing at a single website, a representative list of the works.
• Identify the material that you claim is infringing your copyrighted work, to which you are requesting that 123-Web-Host disable access over the World Wide Web.
• Identify the location of the material on the World Wide Web by providing information reasonably sufficient to permit 123-Web-Host to locate the material.
• State 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 agents, or the law.
• State that the information in the notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury.
• Sign the notice with either a physical or electronic signature.

To exercise your DMCA rights, you must send your Proper DMCA Notice to the following agent designated by 123-Web-Host/BASIC Networks (the “Designated Agent”). The contact information is:

What We Do When We Receive A Proper DMCA Notice

123-Web-Host will follow the procedures provided in the DMCA, which prescribed a notice and takedown procedure, subject to the webmaster's right to submit a Counter-notification claiming lawful use of the disabled works.

Notice and Takedown Procedure

It is expected that all users of any part of the 123-Web-Host system will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if 123-Web-Host is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, it will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity. 123-Web-Host will comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter notification is received by its Designated Agent.

Notice to Users of 123-Web-Host Systems

Pursuant to the Terms of Service Agreement you agreed to when you were permitted to become a System User, you are required to use only lawfully-acquired creative works as website content, and your website may be disabled upon receipt of notice that infringing material is appearing there. 123-Web-Host also respects the legitimate interests of webmasters in utilizing media content lawfully, being permitted to present a response to claims of infringement, and obtaining timely restoration of access to a website that has been disabled due to a copyright complaint.

Your System Use privileges will also be suspended. You may protest a DMCA notice by submitting a Counter-notification as described below.

Writing and Submitting a Counter-notification

If access to your website is disabled due to operation of the 123-Web-Host notice and takedown procedure described above, and you believe the takedown was improper, you must submit a Counter-notification.

Writing a Counter-notification

To Write a Proper Counter-notification, please provide the following information:

• State that access to your website was disabled due to operation of the notice and takedown procedure.
• Identify the material that has been removed and designate its URL prior to removal.
• State, under penalty of perjury:

a. Your name, address, and telephone number,
b. That you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
c. That you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located.

Sending the Counter-notification

To exercise your DMCA rights, you must send your Counter-notification to BASIC Networks:

BASIC Networks Corp.
108 West 13th Street
Wilmington, DE 19801
U.S.A.

E-Mail: abuse@basicnetworks.net

Repeat Infringers

123-Web-Host may, in its discretion, use all appropriate means to terminate user access to its system or network who are repeat infringers.

Accommodation of Standard Technical Measures

It is 123-Web-Host's policy to accommodate and not interfere with standard technical measures it determines are reasonable under the circumstances, i.e., technical measures that are used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works.

Policy With Regard To Non-Compliant Communications

123-Web-Host has discretion to handle non-compliant notices in whatever manner appears to be reasonable given the circumstances presented.

Submission of Misleading Information

The submission of misleading information of any sort in a notification or counter-notification submitted to 123-Web-Host voids any claim of right made by the submitting party.
