Copyright Infringement and The Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Gold Pavement respects the valid intellectual property rights of others. We will respond to allegations of copyright infringement with respect to content or materials on our Services, including without limitation User Materials, in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”).

The DMCA provides a process for copyright owners to give notification to online service providers concerning alleged copyright infringement. When Gold Pavement receives a valid DMCA notification, we respond by removing (or disabling access to) the allegedly infringing content or materials. After removing such content or materials, Gold Pavement will take reasonable steps to contact the owner of the removed content or materials so that a DMCA counter notification may be submitted. After receiving a valid counter notification, Gold Pavement generally restores the allegedly infringing content or materials, unless we receive further notice from the copyright owner that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged copyright infringer from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent of a copyright owner, and you believe that any content or materials on our Services, including without limitation User Materials, violate your copyright, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our DMCA agent with the following information in writing (please see 17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3) for further detail): (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Gold Pavement to locate the material; (iv) information reasonably sufficient to permit Gold Pavement to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address; (v) 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; and, (vi) a statement under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate, and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the allegedly infringed copyright.

Gold Pavement designated agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement under the DMCA is:

Gold Pavement Group, LLC
Attn: DMCA Notice
3 Gaffers Court, Suite 1B, Latham, NY 12110
Email: terms-of-use@players.house

For the purposes of clarification, only notices pursuant to the DMCA should be directed to Gold Pavement’s DMCA agent. All other questions or concerns about our Services or the Terms and Conditions should be directed to Gold Pavement as set forth at the end of the Terms and Conditions.

If you believe that your User Materials have been improperly removed because they are not infringing, because you have authorization from the actual copyright owner or the owner’s agent and/or because you have the right to use the User Materials under applicable law, you may send a written counter notification to Gold Pavement’s DMCA agent with the following information (please see 17 U.S.C. §512(g)(3) for further detail): (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the User Materials that have been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location(s) at which the User Materials appeared before such User Materials were removed or disabled; (iii) a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that such User Materials were removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled; (iv) your name, address, telephone number and, if available, email address; and, (v) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside of the United States, to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Southern District of New York, and that you will accept service of process from the party that provided notification to Gold Pavement of the alleged infringement.

If Gold Pavement’s DMCA agent receives a valid counter notification pursuant to the DMCA, we may send a copy of such counter notification to the original complaining party and we may inform such party that we may replace the removed or disabled content in ten (10) business days. Unless Gold Pavement’s DMCA agent receives further notice from the original complaining party that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may replace or re-enable access to the allegedly infringing content or materials not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days after receipt of the valid counter notification.

Severance

Each provision of the Terms and Conditions shall be construed separately and independently of each other and the invalidity of any one part shall not affect the validity of any other part.
