The site is www.citizenglobal.com (“Site”) and is operated by CitizenGlobal, Inc., located at 515 Boccacio Ave., Venice, California USA 90291 (“CG”). 2. Digital Millennium Copyright Act: Copyright Matters. a. Pursuant to Title 17, United States Code, Section 512(c)(2), notifications of claimed copyright infringement must be submitted to the following CG Designated Agent:
Steven Starr, Copyright Agent
i. To be effective, the notification must be a written communication that includes the following: 1. A physical or electronic signature of person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. 2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site. 3. 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 information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material (“Content”). 4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail (email) address at which the complaining party may be contacted. 5. A statement that the complaining party has 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; 6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and 7. Any other requirements under U.S. law. b. In response to such a written communication, CG may give notice to its affected registered user (“User”) by means of a general notice on this Site, electronic mail to a User's e-mail address on CG's records, or by written communication sent by first-class mail to a User's address on CG's records. c. 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-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Agent: i. Your physical or electronic signature; ii. Identification of the Content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the Content appeared before it was removed or disabled; iii. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the Content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the Content; and iv. Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court having jurisdiction over Venice, California, and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement. d. If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, CG may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that CG may replace the removed Content or cease disabling it in ten (10) business days. Unless the copyright owner files 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 ten to fourteen (10 – 14) business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at CG's sole discretion. 3. Legal Concerns Other Than Copyright. If a visitor to the Site, user of the Site, or other third party believes that Content or activity at the Site raises legal issues affecting that visitor other than copyright (by way of example, trademark, privacy, disparagement) that visitor may follow the procedures outlined above for DMCA claims and a representative of CG will investigate. 4.
