DMCA Policy

Bacon Jam respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), the text of which can be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Bacon Jam service and/or website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

Please note that this procedure is exclusively for notifying Bacon Jam that your copyrighted material has been infringed.

Filing a DMCA Notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Site by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to Bacon Jam's Designated Copyright Agent.

Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, Bacon Jam will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Site.

Your DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement must be provided in writing and include substantially the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
  2. 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 Bacon Jam to locate the material (e.g., a specific URL where the infringing material is located).
  3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Bacon Jam 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Bacon Jam's Designated Copyright Agent via our contact page, specifying that it is a DMCA Copyright Notice.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to Bacon Jam's Designated Copyright Agent:

  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [Jurisdiction, e.g., the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California] and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of the alleged infringement.
  • Your physical or electronic signature.

If a counter-notice is received by Bacon Jam's Designated Copyright Agent, Bacon Jam may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Bacon Jam's sole discretion.

To submit a Counter-Notification, please use our contact page and clearly indicate that you are submitting a DMCA Counter-Notification.
