DMCA Policy

Fußball Live News ("we", "us", "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users 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 Fußball Live News service and/or website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA notice, as well as the information required for a counter-notification.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

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 Site 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, Fußball Live News will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the Site.

Your DMCA notice must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

  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 that you claim is infringing (or the subject of infringing activity) and to which access is to be disabled, including at a minimum, if applicable, the URL of the link shown on the Site or the exact location where such material may be found.
  3. Provide your 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 (typing your full legal name is sufficient for an electronic signature).

Deliver this Notice, with all items completed, to Fußball Live News' Designated Copyright Agent via our Contact Us page, clearly indicating that it is a DMCA Notice.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

If you believe that your 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 content, you may send a counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:

  • Identify the specific URLs or other unique identifying information of material that Fußball Live News has removed or to which Fußball Live News has disabled access.
  • Provide your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • Include the following statement: "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which my address is located, or if my address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Fußball Live News may be found, and I will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person."
  • Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
  • Provide your full legal name and your electronic or physical signature (typing your full legal name is sufficient for an electronic signature).

Deliver this Counter-Notification, with all items completed, to Fußball Live News' Designated Copyright Agent via our Contact Us page, clearly indicating that it is a DMCA Counter-Notification.

Fußball Live News will then forward the full counter-notification to the party who submitted the original DMCA Takedown Notice. Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes your personal information. By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to have your information revealed in this way.

If the copyright owner does not file 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-notification, at Fußball Live News' sole discretion.
