12. Claims Of Copywright Infringement

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”) provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under United States copyright law.

If you believe, in good faith, that materials hosted on the Website infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked.

Notices and counter-notices must meet the current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA. As of the date these Terms of Use were last updated, to be effective under the DMCA, notification of claims of copyright infringement by third parties must be a written communication to our agent that includes the following:

(a) an electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright;

(b) a description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has 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;

(c) 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 a description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the Website;

(d) your name, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address;

(e) a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

(f) a statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

See http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for current details.

If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, you may send us a counter-notice. We will not be liable to you under any circumstances for declining to replace material.

We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice, as there may be penalties for false claims under the DMCA. If you fail to comply with all of the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Website should be sent to our Designated Agent:

if by mail to:

Attn: Coalition for Green Capital

1255 Union St NE, 7th Floor

Washington, DC 20002

if by e-mail to: info@cgc.org

It is our policy in appropriate circumstances to disable and/or terminate the account of users who are repeat infringers.
