DMCA (Copyright) Notifications and Counter-Notifications Process

SMSGATEWAYHUB™ respects the intellectual property of others, and we ask our users to do the same. Each user is responsible for ensuring that the materials they upload to the SMSGATEWAYHUB™ Site do not infringe any third party copyright.

SMSGATEWAYHUB™ will promptly remove materials from the SMSGATEWAYHUB™ Site in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") if properly notified that the materials infringe a third party's copyright. In addition, SMSGATEWAYHUB™ may, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers.

Filing a DMCA Notice to Remove Copyrighted Content-for Copyright Holders

If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with a written notice containing the following information:

• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address (if any).
• A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
• A description of where on the SMSGATEWAYHUB™ Site the material that you claim is infringing may be found, sufficient for SMSGATEWAYHUB™ to locate the material (e.g., the URL).
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted work is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement by you UNDER PENALTY OF PERJURY that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
• Your electronic or physical signature.

You may submit this information via:

• Online: Our DMCA claim
• Email: dmca@smsgatewayhub.com
• Offline: SMSGATEWAYHUB™ Copyright Agent

Please note that we will send any complete counter-notifications we receive to the person who submitted the original DMCA notice. That person may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we will restore the removed materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed. We will provide a copy of the original DMCA takedown notice upon request.

Repeat Infringer Policy :

SMSGATEWAYHUB™ will terminate user accounts that have been the subject of three (3) separate DMCA notices. In the event a user's materials are removed due to a DMCA notice and then subsequently restored due to the filing of a DMCA counter-notification, SMSGATEWAYHUB™ will treat the underlying DMCA notice as withdrawn.
SMSGATEWAYHUB™ reserves the right to terminate user accounts that are the subject of fewer than three (3) DMCA notices in appropriate circumstances, such as where the user has a history of violating or willfully disregarding SMSGATEWAYHUB™ Terms of Service.

Warning :

In filing a DMCA notice or counter-notification, please make sure that you have complied with all of the above requirements. If we request additional information necessary to make your DMCA notice or counter-notification complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to comply with all of these requirements, your DMCA notice or counter-notification may not be processed further.

In addition, please make sure that all of the information you provide is accurate. UNDER SECTION 512(f) OF THE COPYRIGHT ACT, 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY MATERIALLY MISREPRESENTS THAT MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY IS INFRINGING OR WAS REMOVED OR DISABLED BY MISTAKE OR MISIDENTIFICATION MAY BE SUBJECT TO LIABILITY.
