DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Policy and Scope

Find Your Learning, LLC (FYL, we, us, or our) respects copyright and expects users of FindYourLearning.community and the related Service to do the same. This DMCA and Copyright Policy explains how a copyright owner or authorized agent may submit a notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, and how a user may submit a counter-notification.

Capitalized terms used but not defined in this document have the meanings given in the Terms of Service.

This Policy applies to copyright claims involving material displayed through the Service, including user uploads, Community Flyer images selected for display, images or other material FYL selects for an FYL-Created Listing, and images a Provider chooses to retain after claiming a Listing. Reports involving privacy, trademarks, or other concerns should be submitted through an available reporting tool or to support@findyourlearning.community, and safety reports to safety@findyourlearning.community.

2. Copyright Infringement Notice

To request removal or disabling of access to material you believe infringes copyright, send FYL's Designated Copyright Agent a written notice containing all information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• your physical or electronic signature, or the signature of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list if the notice covers multiple works at one online location;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, together with information reasonably sufficient for FYL to locate it, such as the specific Listing or page URL;
• information reasonably sufficient for FYL to contact you, such as your name, postal address, telephone number, and email address;
• 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 the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.

A notice that omits required information may be ineffective or delayed. Identify only material for which you have a good-faith copyright claim and consider whether an exception or limitation, such as fair use, applies.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Send DMCA notices to:

Email is the preferred delivery method. A notice sent elsewhere may not reach the Designated Copyright Agent or may be delayed.

4. FYL's Response to a Notice

When FYL receives a substantially compliant notice, FYL will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material when appropriate. FYL will take reasonable steps to notify the person responsible for the displayed material, which may be the user who uploaded it, the Provider controlling the Listing, or another person with a relevant interest. For a Community Flyer image selected for display by FYL, FYL may remove or disable the image without treating the sharing member as the copyright owner or requiring that member to defend the display decision. For an unclaimed FYL-Created Listing or other material FYL independently selected and posted, FYL will not attribute the material to an Account holder or require an Account holder to defend FYL's selection. A Provider that claimed the Listing and chose to retain the material may be treated as the responsible person. FYL may provide an affected person a copy of the notice, including the claimant's contact information.

FYL may ask the claimant for clarification, restore or leave material in place when the notice is not substantially compliant, or remove material outside the statutory process when FYL reasonably believes removal is appropriate. For material FYL independently selected, a notice defect does not replace FYL's separate evaluation of whether it has a lawful basis to display the material. Action on one item does not create a duty to monitor for other material.

5. Counter-Notification

An Account holder or other subscriber whose material was removed or disabled, who can truthfully make the required statements and believes the action resulted from mistake or misidentification, may send the Designated Copyright Agent a written counter-notification containing all information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

• the counter-notifying person's physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that the counter-notifying person has a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification; and
• the counter-notifying person's name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the federal judicial district where that address is located, or if the address is outside the United States, any federal judicial district in which FYL may be found, and accepting service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

Send the counter-notification to the Designated Copyright Agent in Section 3. FYL may provide the counter-notification and its contact information to the original claimant.

6. Restoration After a Counter-Notification

After receiving a substantially compliant counter-notification for material subject to 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), FYL will promptly provide a copy to the original claimant and inform the claimant that FYL will replace the removed material or restore access as stated below.

For material subject to the counter-notification procedure under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g), FYL will replace the removed material or restore access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receiving a substantially compliant counter-notification unless the Designated Copyright Agent first receives notice that the claimant filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Service. This restoration procedure does not require FYL to restore material that FYL independently selected or displayed, or other material for which the counter-notifying person cannot truthfully satisfy the statutory requirements.

7. Repeat Infringers and Technical Measures

FYL maintains and reasonably implements a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, Account holders who are repeat copyright infringers. FYL may consider the number, timing, substance, and outcome of infringement notices and counter-notifications, court orders, admissions, and other reliable information. A notice concerning a Community Flyer image will not automatically count against the sharing member solely because FYL chose to crop or display the image. A notice concerning material FYL created or independently selected for an unclaimed FYL-Created Listing will not count against an Account holder. FYL may count a matter when reliable information shows that a member knowingly submitted infringing material, materially misrepresented the source, or otherwise violated the Terms, or when a Provider claimed a Listing and knowingly retained infringing material as Provider-managed content. FYL may suspend or terminate an Account after a single serious violation when appropriate.

FYL accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures that meet the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

8. Misrepresentations

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Seek advice if you are uncertain whether a notice or counter-notification is proper.

9. Other Copyright Reports

An in-product copyright report may help FYL locate and review content, but it is not a DMCA notice unless it includes all information required by Section 2 and is delivered to the Designated Copyright Agent. FYL may address apparent infringement under the Terms of Service even when no valid DMCA notice has been submitted.
