DMCA Policy

Capitalized terms not defined here have the meaning given in Section Definitions.

Section, Inc. ("Section", "we", "us", "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the "DMCA"). This DMCA Policy describes how to notify Section of claimed copyright infringement on the Site or in content hosted within the Services, and how the affected user may submit a counter-notification.

1. Scope

This DMCA Policy applies to claims of copyright infringement relating to: (a) content on the Site; (b) content submitted by Customer or End Users to Section Coach or SectionHQ, including use cases and other user-generated content; and (c) any other material made available by Section through the Services or the Site.

2. Designated DMCA agent

Notifications of claimed infringement and counter-notifications should be directed to Section's designated DMCA agent:

DMCA Agent Section, Inc. Attn: DMCA Agent 228 Park Avenue S, PMB 96268 New York, NY 10003-1502 Email: legal@sectionai.com

Section will register its designated agent with the United States Copyright Office. Until registration is recorded, notifications may be submitted to the contact above and will be processed in accordance with this DMCA Policy.

3. Notification of claimed infringement

To submit a notification of claimed copyright infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), please provide a written communication that includes substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. 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).
3. 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, with information reasonably sufficient to permit Section to locate the material (such as the URL or a description of where the material appears within the Services).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Section to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

On receipt of a valid notification, Section will, in accordance with the DMCA, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and take reasonable steps to notify the user who submitted the material.

4. Counter-notification

If you believe that material you submitted to the Services or the Site was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) to the DMCA agent identified in section 2. A valid counter-notification must include substantially the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
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 you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
4. 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, if your address is outside the United States, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.

On receipt of a valid counter-notification, Section will, in accordance with the DMCA, forward the counter-notification to the original complainant and may restore the material in not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days, unless the complainant first notifies Section that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

Section will, in appropriate circumstances and in its discretion, disable access to or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. Section also reserves the right to limit access to the Services or the Site for any user accused of infringing activity, even before a final determination of infringement.

6. False claims

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or its authorized licensee, or by Section.

7. No legal advice

This DMCA Policy is a procedural document. It is not legal advice. If you are unsure whether material infringes your copyright or whether you have a defense to a notification, consult an attorney.

8. Updates

Section may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. Material changes will be reflected in the Version and Last Updated date above.
