Please also note that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents information in the copyright infringement notification may be subjected to liability, including compensatory damages for all parties harmed by reliance on the misrepresentation.

Counter-notification

NightCloud respects the legitimate interests of copyright owners as well as users. Users are afforded an opportunity to respond to claims of infringement and to obtaining timely restoration of removed material or the user’s access to the website in case of sufficient proof of legitimate use of the removed material.

Users may respond to a copyright infringement claim by submitting a counter-notification. To be effective, a counter-notice must contain substantially the following information:

  1. a physical or electronic signature of the user;
  2. 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;
  3. a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
  4. the user’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the subscriber consents to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the subscriber’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the subscriber will accept service of process from the person who provided the take-down notification or an agent of such person.

Counter-notification should be submitted to NightCloud’s Designated Agent provided in the section above. Following receipt of a compliant counter-notice, NightCloud will restore access to the material after no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days, unless the original notice sender informs NightCloud that it has filed a court action against the user.

Repeat Infringer Termination Policy

Pursuant to the NightCloud User Agreement, user should ensure that the content complies with intellectual property laws and regulations when distributing content via the internet. Users are responsible for assuring that they have proper authorization to use copyrighted content. Upon receipt of a valid notice that a user’s account contains infringing material, NightCloud will immediately disable all access to the material, including the user’s access. We will notify the user via email of the actions taken by NightCloud in response to the take-down notice and will inform him that one instance of violation has been put on record for that account.

If there are two or more instances of violation on an account, meaning there have been two or more successful copyright complaints against the account, we will take action against the account and the user will be notified. Once we take action against an account, the user may be prevented or restricted from accessing NightCloud’s services.
