Copyright Policy

1.Scope & Applicability#

This Policy applies to all aspects of the Services and governs how VI-TECH handles allegations of copyright infringement.

VI-TECH may remove or disable access to material it believes in good faith to be infringing and may terminate access for repeat offenders.

2.Reporting Copyright Infringements#

If you believe material available via the Services infringes your copyright, please send a notice to our Designated Agent containing the following:

1. Identification of the specific aspect of the Services to which the notice pertains.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work or material claimed to be infringed.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, including its location, with sufficient detail for VI-TECH to find and verify it.
4. Contact information for the notifying party (name, address, telephone number, and e-mail).
5. A statement of good-faith belief that the use is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate and that the notifying party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner.
7. The notifying party’s physical or electronic signature.

3.Responding to Complaints#

After receiving a valid notice, VI-TECH will take the following steps:

1. Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
2. Immediately notify the user responsible for the material (the “Offending User”).
3. If the Offending User is a repeat offender, terminate the account and access to the Services, in addition to removal.

4.Right to Dispute (Counter-Notice)#

If the Offending User disputes the claim, they may send a counter-notice to the Designated Agent including:

1. Identification of the material removed or to which access was disabled, and its prior location.
2. A statement of good-faith belief that the removal or disabling was due to mistake or misidentification.
3. The Offending User’s contact information (name, address, telephone number, and e-mail).
4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts where the Offending User is located, or if outside the UK, any judicial district where VI-TECH is located, and accepting service of process from the notifying party.
5. The Offending User’s physical or electronic signature.

5.Restoration of Material#

If a counter-notice is received, VI-TECH will forward a copy to the notifying party. Unless VI-TECH receives actual notice of a court action seeking to restrain the Offending User, the material may be replaced or access restored within 10–14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.
