At CouponCourt, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. This policy outlines our procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and related case law such as Sony Corp. of America v.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will expeditiously remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material. We will respond to your DMCA notice within 48 hours.
Counter-Notification Procedure
If you believe that material you posted on CouponCourt was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our designated agent. The counter-notification must include the following information as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):
- Identification of the Material:
- A description of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
- Contact Information:
- Your full name, physical address, telephone number, and email address.
- Statement of Good Faith:
- 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
- Consent to Jurisdiction:
- 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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which CouponCourt may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
- Signature:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly provide the original complaining party with a copy of the counter-notification and inform them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notification.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, CouponCourt will terminate user accounts that are deemed to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had infringing material removed from the website more than twice.
Limitation of Liability
By using our site, you agree that CouponCourt, including its officers, directors, employees, and agents, shall not be liable for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or exemplary damages, including but not limited to, damages for loss of profits, goodwill, use, data, or other intangible losses (even if CouponCourt has been advised of the possibility of such damages), resulting from the use of or the inability to use the service, unauthorized access to or alteration of your transmissions or data, statements or conduct of any third party on the service, or any other matter relating to the service.
Timeliness and Good Faith
All parties involved in the DMCA notice and counter-notification process must act in a timely manner and with good faith. Delays or failure to provide necessary information may result in the dismissal of the claim or counter-claim. CouponCourt reserves the right to reject claims or counter-claims that are deemed frivolous, incomplete, or otherwise non-compliant with the DMCA requirements.
