Seesaw respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same when using our products.
It is Seesaw’s policy, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at: http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Seesaw will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our products that are reported to Seesaw’s Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.
If you are a copyright holder, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Sites by completing a notice of alleged infringement and sending it to Seesaw’s Designated Copyright Agent.
Please note that under the DMCA, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us or our users, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing. If you aren’t sure whether the content you are reporting infringes your rights, please consider speaking with an attorney before sending us a notification.
We review all notices of intellectual property infringement for completeness, accuracy, and validity. Upon receipt of a valid notice, Seesaw takes appropriate action, which may include removal of the challenged material from the Seesaw website and/or suspension or termination of the user’s account.
We forward a complete copy of each notice (including the sender’s name, address, and contact information) to the user(s) who posted the allegedly infringing material. If you are concerned about having this information forwarded, you may wish to have an authorized agent submit your notice for you. We will also forward a redacted copy of the complaint to Lumen.
