Museboat Live (together with its affiliates, successors, and assigns, hereinafter referred to as “OUR”, “WE”, or “US”) have adopted this Copyright Policy and DMCA Notification Process (the “Copyright Policy”) in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, including the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act (the “DMCA”).

We respect the intellectual property rights of our users and others, and adhere to the provisions of the DMCA. The Copyright Policy applies to the website www.museboat.com (the “Website”) to address claims of infringement pertaining to copyrighted material owned or controlled by a third party.

COPYRIGHT AND CONTENT USAGE FAQ

Copyright is a form of legal protection given to authors of original works such as literary, dramatic, musical, artistic, graphic, photographic, software and certain other intellectual works. The copyright owner has the exclusive right to reproduce the work, make new works based on the work, distribute copies, and perform or display the work, during the duration of copyright protection, subject to very limited fair use rights of others to use only such amount as necessary to exercise fair use rights. You should assume all third party content is protected by copyright unless you have determined otherwise with the assistance of legal counsel and you should not rely on fair use except pursuant to advice of legal counsel. You can, however, seek a permission or license to use third party copyright protected content and once obtained will have the right to do so.

POLICY

Pursuant to the Music Submission Policy of the Website each Website user is responsible for ensuring that the materials they upload to the Website do not infringe any third party copyright. Additionally, the Music Submisson Policy prohibit Website users from using the Website to infringe the intellectual property rights of any person or entity.

If you are a copyright holder who believes that any of the material(s) on the Website violates your copyright rights, please follow the guidelines and procedures below to provide us with appropriate notice. We will respond to clear written notices alleging infringement that comply with, or substantially comply with, the DMCA and other applicable laws.

We will remove or disable access to allegedly infringing material from the Website upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice as required by the DMCA and will provide the allegedly infringing party with a copy of the DMCA notice alleging infringement. If the party who posted the allegedly infringing information files a valid counter-notification, the materials will be reposted unless you file a claim for relief as further set forth in the DMCA.

All notices must be provided to us in e-mail as described below. Museboat Live does not accept notices or counter-notifications under the DMCA submitted by telephone or electronically via Company webWebsites or mobile applications. You may wish to consult with legal counsel to assist you with assessing your claim(s) and understanding your rights and liabilities, including, without limitation, your potential liability for filing a false claim.

We do not act as an arbiter or judge of disputes about intellectual property rights. We do not adjudicate the substance of the copyright claim: we do not declare winners and losers. Your copyright in an item is determined in the real world, by real-world processes including the DMCA. The DMCA process allows users of an online service to resolve copyright disputes using the adjudication systems available in the real world. By disabling access to or removing content, as a prudential matter, we are not endorsing or validating a claim of infringement.

REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

Pursuant to the Music Submission Policy, if a Website user engages in “repeat infringement” we may terminate all user’s files (mp3, jpeg, doc, etc) without notice, and the user will no longer be permitted access to the Website or the Services. “Repeat infringement” shall be defined as two (2) or more instances, as determined by us in our reasonable discretion, where a user has infringed the copyright rights of another person. In the event a user’s materials are removed due to a DMCA notice and then subsequently restored due to the filing of a DMCA counter-notification, we will treat the underlying DMCA notice as withdrawn. We reserve the right to terminate music submissions that are the subject of fewer than two (2) instances of infringement of the copyright rights of another person in appropriate circumstances, such as when the user has a history of violating or willfully disregarding the Music Submission Policy.

OVERVIEW OF THE DMCA NOTICE PROCESS

The DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When a valid DMCA notification is received, the service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content. Upon taking down content pursuant to the DMCA, the online service provider will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content so that a counter-notification may be filed. On receiving a valid counter-notification, the online service provider generally restores the content in question, unless it receives notice from the notification provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.
