OUTAGES AND ALERTS CAREERS (518) 298-2411 PAY INVOICE ONLINE Home > CTG’s Copyright & DMCA Enforcement Policy CTG's Copyright & DMCA Enforcement Policy Champlain Technology Group and all of its subsidiaries (“CTG”), is committed to complying with U.S. copyright and related laws, and requires all customers and users of the Service to comply with these laws. Accordingly, you may not store any material or content on, or disseminate any material or content over, the Service (or any part of the Service) in any manner that constitutes an infringement of third party intellectual property rights, including rights granted by U.S. copyright law. Owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may take advantage of certain provisions of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) to report alleged infringements. It is CTG’s policy in accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws to reserve the right to terminate the Service provided to any customer or user who is either found to infringe third party copyright or other intellectual property rights, including repeat infringers, or who CTG believes in its sole discretion is infringing these rights. CTG may terminate the Service at any time with or without notice for any affected customer or user. Copyright owners may report alleged infringements of their works that are stored on the Service or the Personal Web Features by sending CTG’s DMCA Designated Agent a notification of claimed infringement that satisfies the requirements of the DMCA. Upon CTG’s receipt of a satisfactory notice of claimed infringement for these works, CTG will respond expeditiously to either directly or indirectly (i) remove the allegedly infringing work(s) stored on the Service or the Personal Web Features or (ii) disable access to the work(s). CTG will also notify the affected customer or user of the Service of the removal or disabling of access to the work(s). In the event that a customer is notified of alleged infringement four (4) or more times, regardless of whether the infringements are concurrent or sporadic, the customer is deemed to be a repeat infringer and CTG will proceed with throttling service speeds, suspending or terminating that customer’s service account. If you believe that your work has been copied and has been posted, stored or transmitted to CTG’s website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing CTG’s DMCA Designated Agent (contact provided below) the following written information: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit CTG to locate the material; Information reasonably sufficient to permit CTG to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted; A statement that the complaining party has 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; A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
