Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") Policy

theblackravens.com (the "Site") is operated by The Black Ravens ("we," "us," or "our"). We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the Site to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to notices of claimed copyright infringement that are submitted to our Designated Copyright Agent as described below.

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, and we will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access of users who are repeat infringers.

Notice of Claimed Infringement

If you believe that material on the Site infringes your copyright, please send a written notice to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf;
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works);
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it on the Site, such as the URL;
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address;
• 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
• A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

We may request additional information before removing any material. If we remove or disable access to material in response to a notice, we will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the person who posted it, and we may provide that person with a copy of your notice, including your contact information.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

Counter-Notification

If material you posted was removed or disabled and you believe this was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent that includes the following:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before it was removed or disabled;
• 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;
• Your name, mailing 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, any judicial district in which Swamphouse LLC may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or that person's agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the person who submitted the original notice. Unless that person notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we will restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it no less than 10 and no more than 14 business days after receiving the counter-notification.
