Susan & Anne respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of by susan-anne.com (the "Site") to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), and specifically 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3), we respond promptly to properly submitted notices of alleged copyright infringement.

How to Submit a Notice of Infringement

The form at the bottom of this page is the designated method for submitting a notice of claimed infringement to us. Using it ensures your notice reaches the right place and is reviewed promptly. To be effective under the DMCA, a notice must include substantially all of the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed — or, if multiple works, a representative list.
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with information sufficient for us to locate it, including the specific URL(s) on the Site.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in your notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
• Documentation evidencing your ownership of, or authority over, the rights claimed (e.g. a copyright registration, trademark certificate, license, or authorization letter).
• Your physical or electronic signature.

A notice that omits any of the information required by 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) may not be valid or actionable under the DMCA and may not be acted upon. We ask all claimants to use the form below so that every notice can be assessed against these requirements.

Notices Made in Bad Faith

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including the costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer and by us in responding to the false notice. Submitting a notice against material you do not own, or that you know is not infringing, exposes you to that liability. If you are unsure whether material on the Site infringes your copyright, we strongly recommend you consult an attorney before submitting a notice.

Counter-Notification

If material you posted was removed or disabled as a result of a notice, and you believe this occurred by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification including: your signature; identification of the removed material and the location at which it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court and to accept service of process from the party that submitted the original notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the original complaining party notifies us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity.

Repeat Infringers

In appropriate circumstances, we will terminate the accounts of users determined to be repeat infringers.
