Exprely respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. Capitalized terms (including the term "Exprely") used but not defined in this Copyright Policy have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Exprely Terms of Service, which is available at https://www.exprely.com/terms-and-conditions (the "Exprely Terms").

1. Notice of Copyright Infringement

Exprely has implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed copyright infringement and for processing such claims in accordance with applicable law. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), a summary of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, Exprely will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Exprely Platform if such claims are reported to Exprely’s Designated Copyright Agent identified in the notice below.

If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report any alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Exprely Platforms by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering the Notice to Exprely llc.

Upon receipt of a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement as described below, Exprely will take whatever action, in Exprely’s sole discretion, that Exprely deems appropriate, which may include the removal of, or disabling of access to, the challenged material from the Exprely Platform.

DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement ("Notice")

1. Identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by this Notice, you may provide a representative list of the copyrighted works that you claim have been infringed.
2. Identify the material or link you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and that is to be removed or to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL or the link shown on the Exprely Platform or the exact location where such material may be found.
3. Provide your name, company affiliation (if applicable), mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, email address.
4. Include both of the following statements in the body of the Notice:

·         "I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law (e.g., as a fair use)."

·         "I hereby state that the information in this Notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed."

5. Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature.

Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Exprely’s Designated Copyright Agent:

In the event Exprely, after receiving a proper DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement, takes steps to remove or disable access to the challenged material, Exprely will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the party who originally posted such challenged material to the Exprely Platform that Exprely has removed or disabled access to such challenged material. Please note that pursuant to Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that the material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake may be subject to liability. Please also be advised that Exprely enforces a policy of terminating the Exprely Accounts of, or banning, repeat infringers. A repeat infringer includes any user who has made two or more postings that Exprely has removed or disabled access to pursuant to notices of infringement under these DMCA notice and takedown procedures.

2. Exprely Articles

In addition to Section 10 (Member Content) of the Exprely Terms, this Section 2 (Exprely Articles) applies to you, if you are a Member that posts, uploads, publishes or submits any articles (an "Article") to the Exprely Platform.
