Digital Millennium Copyright Act Policy
Notice and Takedown Procedure
It is our policy to expeditiously respond to clear notices
of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital
Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This page describes the information that
should be present in these notices. It is designed to make submitting
notices of alleged infringement to Texas Farm Bureau Mutual Insurance Company
and its affiliated companies (TFBMIC) as straightforward as possible while reducing
the number of notices that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to
understand or verify. The form of notice specified below is consistent
with the form suggested by the DMCA (the text of which can be found at the U.S.
Copyright Office Web Site, http://www.copyright.gov), but we will respond to
notices of this form from other jurisdictions as well.
It is expected that all users of any part of the TFBMIC Online Store website
(the Website) will comply with applicable copyright laws. However, if TFBMIC
receives proper notification of claimed copyright infringement, our response to
these notices will include removing or disabling access to material claimed to
be the subject of infringing activity and/or terminating user access to the
Website, regardless of whether we may be liable for such infringement under
United States law or the laws of another jurisdiction.
If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice, we will make a
good-faith attempt to contact the owner or administrator of the affected site
or content so that they may make a counter notification pursuant to Sections
512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. We may also document notices of alleged
infringement on which we act.
Designated Agent
TFBMIC's Designated Agent to receive notification of alleged infringement under
the DMCA is:
Paul D. Marable, III
Email: [email protected]
Physical: 7420 Fish Pond Rd., Waco, Texas 76710
Upon receipt of proper notification of claimed infringement,
TFBMIC will follow the procedures outlined herein and in the DMCA.
Infringement Notification
If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that
constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have
been otherwise violated, please provide TFBMIC's Designated Agent (listed
above) the following information in a written communication (preferably via
email):
1. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to
have 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;
2. 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 TFBMIC to locate the material;
3. Information reasonably sufficient to permit TFBMIC
to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if
available, an email address at which the complaining party may be contacted;
4. The following statement: I 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;
5. The following statement: I swear, under penalty of
perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that I am
the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an
exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and
6. A physical or electronic signature of the owner or a
person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is
allegedly infringed.
Please note that you may be liable for damages (including
costs and attorneys' fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is
infringing your copyrights. Accordingly, if you are not sure whether material
available online infringes your copyright, we suggest that you first contact an
attorney.
Counter Notification
A provider of content subject to a claim of infringement may
make a counter notification pursuant to sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. To
file a counter notification with us, please provide TFBMIC's Designated Agent
(listed above) the following information in a written communication (preferably
via email):
1. Identification 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 to it was disabled;
2. Your name, address, and telephone number;
3. The following statement: I consent to the
jurisdiction of the federal District Court for the Western District of Texas;
4. The following statement: I will accept service of
process from [insert the name of the person who submitted the infringement
notification] or his/her agent;
5. The following statement: I swear, under penalty of
perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the affected material was removed
or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be
removed or disabled; and
6. Your signature, in physical or electronic form.
Upon receipt of such counter notification, TFBMIC will
promptly provide the person who provided the original infringement notification
with a copy of the counter notification, and inform that person that TFBMIC
will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10
business days. TFBMIC will replace the removed material and cease
disabling access to it not less than 10, nor more than 14, business days
following receipt of the counter notice, unless our Designated Agent first
receives notice from the person who submitted the original infringement
notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to
restrain the subscriber from engaging in infringing activity relating to the
material on our system or network.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(a) of the DMCA, TFBMIC
will, in appropriate circumstances, disable and/or terminate the access by
users who are repeat infringers.
Accommodation of Standard Technical Measures
It is TFBMIC's policy to accommodate and not interfere with
standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect
copyrighted works that TFBMIC determines are reasonable under the
circumstances.
