DMCA copyright policy.

MovingRated respects the intellectual property of others. If you believe your work has been copied without permission, here's how to submit a takedown notice. If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake, here's how to counter-notice.

Filing a takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe content on MovingRated infringes your copyright, send a written notice to hello@movingrated.com with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice". Your notice must include:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. The URL(s) on MovingRated where the alleged infringing material appears, specific enough to allow us to locate it.
  4. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, email.
  5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Notices missing any of the above may not result in takedown action.

What happens after a notice

On receipt of a valid notice we will: (1) remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material expeditiously; (2) notify the user who posted the material (if applicable); and (3) take reasonable steps to inform the user that the content was removed in response to a DMCA notice.

Counter-notice

If your content was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice. Send a written counter-notice to hello@movingrated.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice". Your counter-notice must include:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location at which it appeared before removal.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
  5. 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 outside the U.S., for any judicial district in which MovingRated may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or an agent of such person.

On receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may restore the removed material in 10-14 business days unless the complainant notifies us they have filed a court action.

Repeat infringers

It is our policy to terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, where applicable.

Misrepresentations

Under Section 512(f) of the Copyright Act, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. Don't submit false notices.

Service provider and designated agent

MovingRated.com is operated by Aurum Transfers Limited, a company organized under the laws of Jamaica. The designated agent for DMCA notices, registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2):

DMCA Designated Agent
c/o Aurum Transfers Limited
Email: dmca@movingrated.com
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice or DMCA Counter-Notice

Pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(c), the safe harbor for online service providers requires that the designated agent be identified to the public and registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. The current Copyright Office registry entry is authoritative; if the registry shows a different agent than the contact above, treat the registry entry as the operative contact and email a courtesy copy to the address above. The public registry is searchable at dmca.copyright.gov/osp/.

User-submitted content (Section 230)

To the extent any allegedly infringing material on MovingRated originated from a reader submission (for example, a message sent through our contact form), MovingRated relies on the protections of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act (47 U.S.C. § 230) for the third-party content. Section 230 does not foreclose DMCA notice-and-takedown for copyright; valid DMCA notices are processed under the procedure above regardless of whether the underlying content is editorial or user-submitted.
