FAILURE TO INCLUDE ALL OF THE ABOVE INFORMATION, ESPECIALLY SPECIFIC URLS WHERE CONTENT MAY BE FOUND, WILL RESULT IN A DELAY OF THE PROCESSING OF THE DMCA NOTIFICATION AND MAY RESULT IN YOUR HAVING TO REPEAT SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE PROCESS.

Notice and Takedown
If Active receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, it will respond expeditiously by removing, or disabling access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing, as described below, or to be the subject of infringing activity.  Active will also comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter-notification is received, as described below.  Active may, at its discretion, deny access to this Site by, or disable and/or terminate the accounts of, Members or other users who may be infringers.

Notice of claims of copyright or other intellectual property infringement can be delivered as follows, by email, fax or standard mail:

Copyright Counter-Notices
If Content you posted on the Site was removed for copyright or intellectual property infringement and you would like to dispute that removal, the process for counter-notifications is governed by Section 512(g) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act:

• To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below.
• Please note that under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability.  Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Members who are infringers.  Accordingly, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact an attorney.

Elements of Counter-Notification
To expedite our ability to process your counter-notification, please use the following format (including section numbers):

Identify the specific URLs of material that Active has removed or to which Active has disabled access.

Provide your full name, address, telephone number, email address and the Member name of your Active account.

Provide a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or New York County, New York; if your address is outside of the U.S.A.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification to Active in accordance with the process outlined above 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 was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”

Sign the notice.  If you are providing notice by email, a scanned physical signature or a valid electronic signature will be accepted.  Send the communication to the following address:

Active Media Services, Inc.
One Blue Hill Plaza
Pearl River, NY  10965
Attn: Dayna Frank, General Counsel
Fax: (845) 735-2342
Email:  dfrank@activeinternational.com

After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement.  Please note that when we forward the counter-notification, it includes any of your Identifying Information set forth in the counter-notification.  By submitting a counter-notification, you consent to having such Identifying Information revealed in this way.  We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.

After we send out the counter-notification, the claimant must then notify us within ten (10) days that he or she has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on the Site.  If we receive such notification, we will be unable to restore the items.  If we do not receive such notification, we may, but are not obligated to, reinstate the disputed item(s).

Foreign Counter-Notification:  If you reside outside of the United States, please understand that filing a counter-notice may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership.  Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process.  Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of Members who are infringers.  So, if you are not sure whether Content you posted on the Site is being infringed, or are otherwise unsure of whether to file a counter-notification using these procedures, we strongly recommend you first contact a lawyer knowledgeable in the laws of the United States.  If you do wish to file a counter-notice, you should follow the process set forth above under the heading “Elements of Counter-Notification.”
