Copyright Policy (DMCA)

Sojourney ("we," "us," "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our members to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Sojourney service (the "Platform") that are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

1. DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement ("Takedown Notice")

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, please report alleged copyright infringements taking place on or through the Platform by completing the following DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement and delivering it to our Designated Copyright Agent.

Upon receipt of the Notice as described below, we will take whatever action, in our sole discretion, we deem appropriate, including removal of the challenged material from the Platform.

To be effective, your DMCA Takedown Notice must be in writing and include the following information:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., the specific URL(s) on the Platform where the material is located).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address at which you may be contacted.
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. Delivering the DMCA Notice

Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Sojourney's Designated Copyright Agent:

Please note: The DMCA provides that you may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys' fees) if you knowingly misrepresent that a product or activity is infringing your copyrights.

3. Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your User Content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material in your User Content, you may send a Counter-Notice containing the following information to our Designated Copyright Agent:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• 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.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or [Your Judicial District, e.g., the Northern District of California] if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of alleged infringement or an agent of such person.

If a Counter-Notice is received by our Copyright Agent, we may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the Counter-Notice, at our sole discretion.

4. Policy on Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Sojourney has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also at our sole discretion limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the accounts of any members who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
