DMCA

Last updated: April 20, 2023

SOCi, Inc. (“SOCi”, “we”, “us”, or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its customers, users, and partners to do the same. It is our policy to promptly investigate and respond to intellectual property infringement claims, including claims under copyright law.

In accordance with the rules and procedures described in the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 17 U.S.C. Section 512 (DMCA), SOCi will respond expeditiously to any claims of copyright infringement committed using the soci.ai website (the “SOCi Site”), provided that such claims are reported to SOCi’s Designated Copyright Agent (identified below).

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, or any person authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the SOCi Site by sending us a notice of alleged infringement with the information delineated below (a “DMCA Notice”) and delivering it to SOCi’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of a DMCA Notice, we will take any action that we deem appropriate to address the allegation, which may include removing or disabling access to the material or content that is claimed to be infringing or to be subject to an infringement claim. We may also, at our discretion, remove or disable links or references to an online location that contains infringing material or infringing activity. If any of our SOCi Site users repeatedly infringe on others’ copyrights, we may, in our sole discretion, terminate such users’ rights to use the SOCi Site.

Please note that if you fail to comply with all the requirements of this policy (consistent with 17 USC § 512(c)(3)), your DMCA notice may not be valid, or our response may be delayed.

DMCA Notice Review Process

We will review your notice for accuracy, validity, and completeness. If we find that it satisfies the requirements established in the DMCA, we will forward the notice to the customer, partner, or user (as applicable) associated with the allegedly infringing material. If the person who posted the material believes that the notice is incorrect or that they have the right to use the material at issue, they may send a counter-notice under Section 512(g)(3) of the DMCA.

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for any damages, including costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us or our users if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material or activity is infringing. Thus, before you send a DMCA notice, we recommend that you as the copyright owner (or as the authorized to act on behalf of the owner) conduct due diligence in determining that you have a good copyright claim.

General
Nothing in this policy shall restrict SOCi’s ability or right to remove or disable access to any infringing material that, in SOCi’s sole discretion, violates or infringes the right(s) of any third party, including, without limitation, any intellectual property right.
