Copyright Policy

Our position

LA Media Group, LLC respects the rights of copyright holders, and has adopted this policy, which provides for the submission of a copyright infringement notice as described below.

This policy covers the lamediagrp.com website and its subdomains (the "Site"), the Bluu dashboard, and the websites we host and operate for our clients. It is written to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. section 512 (the "DMCA").

Notice of copyright infringement

If you believe in good faith that any content on the Site infringes your copyright, send notice of the alleged infringement to the Designated Copyright Agent below.

Your notice must contain the following, as required by the DMCA:

1. The full name and a physical or electronic signature of the person authorised to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, you may provide a representative list.
3. Reasonably sufficient detail to enable us to identify and locate the material that is claimed to be infringing, for example a direct link to the page on the Site that contains it.
4. A mailing address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted work is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement made by you, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorised to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Our Designated Copyright Agent

Send your notice to:

Email is the fastest route and is the one we monitor. Please put COPYRIGHT NOTICE in the subject line.

What happens after we receive a notice

Once you provide an adequate notice as described above, we will respond expeditiously and take whatever action we consider appropriate in our sole discretion, including removing or disabling access to the disputed material.

Where the material was posted by an identifiable user or client, we will take reasonable steps to notify them that it has been removed and to send them a copy of your notice, including your contact details, so that they can decide whether to file a counter notice. Bear in mind that your notice, including your name and contact details, will be passed to the person who posted the material.

Counter notice

If you believe that a DMCA notice of copyright infringement has been improperly submitted against you, you may submit a counter notice to the Designated Agent containing the following, as required by the DMCA:

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 it appeared before it was removed or 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.
4. Your name, address, email address and telephone number.
5. 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, to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the Southern District of Florida, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the DMCA notice or their agent.

Send your counter notice to the same Designated Agent:

What happens after a counter notice

If we receive a counter notice that complies with the requirements above, we will provide the person who submitted the original DMCA notice with a copy of it, and inform them that we will replace the removed material in 10 business days from the date of the counter notice unless we first receive notice from them that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

If no such notice is received, the material may be replaced between 10 and 14 business days after we receive the counter notice.

Repeat infringers

We terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. Where a user, a client, or an account is the subject of repeated valid notices of copyright infringement, we will terminate their access in appropriate circumstances, in accordance with 17 U.S.C. section 512(i).

We may also remove material or suspend an account at any time where we believe in good faith that doing so is necessary, whether or not a formal notice has been received.

Knowingly false claims

UNDER 17 U.S.C. SECTION 512(f), ANY PERSON WHO KNOWINGLY MATERIALLY MISREPRESENTS THAT MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY IS INFRINGING, OR THAT MATERIAL OR ACTIVITY WAS REMOVED OR DISABLED BY MISTAKE OR MISIDENTIFICATION, MAY BE LIABLE FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING COSTS AND ATTORNEYS' FEES, INCURRED BY THE ALLEGED INFRINGER, BY ANY COPYRIGHT OWNER OR LICENSEE, AND BY THE SERVICE PROVIDER.

Please be certain before you send either a notice or a counter notice, and consider taking legal advice if you are unsure.

PLEASE NOTE THAT LA MEDIA GROUP INTENDS TO COMPLY WITH ALL PROVISIONS OF THE DIGITAL MILLENNIUM COPYRIGHT ACT, BUT WILL NOT UNILATERALLY TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR POLICING AND REMOVING MATERIAL THOUGHT TO BE INFRINGING.

Work we create for our clients

We design and build websites and marketing material. Two things follow from that, and both cut in the client's favour.

• Content a client supplies stays theirs. Their text, photographs, logo and brand assets belong to them, and we claim no ownership of any of it.
• The client is responsible for having the right to use what they supply. If you give us a photograph, a logo, a font, a review or a piece of text, you are confirming that you are entitled to use it. We are not able to verify the provenance of material supplied to us.

If you believe material on a website we host for a client infringes your copyright, send us a notice as described above. We will act on it and we will pass it to the client.

Trademarks and brand assets

This policy is about copyright. If your concern is a trademark, a service mark, a logo, or brand impersonation, email legal@lamediagrp.com with a description of your mark, your registration details if you have them, where the material appears, and why you believe it infringes. We treat those with the same seriousness.

Use of any trademark, service mark, branding, logo or design owned or licensed by LA Media Group or by any of its clients is prohibited without prior written consent. See our Website Use Policy.
