UrbanSync Innovations LLC (“UrbanSync”) respects the intellectual property rights of oth ers and expects users of our platforms — FlyConnect, CCTV, and the UrbanSync Magazine (the “Services”) — to do the same. We respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
1. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe content available through the Services infringes your copyright, send a writ ten notice to our Designated Agent that includes:
Designated Agent for Notice: UrbanSync Innovations LLC Attn: DMCA Desig nated Agent 1315 Walnut Street, STE 801/152 Philadelphia, PA 19107 Email: gdpeter son@urbansyncinn.com Subject line: “DMCA Takedown Notice”
This registration is not optional — it is required to preserve DMCA safe-harbor protection. Register this Designated Agent electronically with the U.S. Copyright Office’s DMCA Designated Agent Directory at dmca.copyright.gov (the Office no longer accepts paper filings). The current registration fee is $6. Registrations expire and become invalid three years after filing and must be renewed by amendment or resubmission (also $6) — calendar this renewal date, since a lapsed registration forfeits safe-harbor protection even if nothing else about the business has changed.
2. Our Process
Upon receiving a compliant notice, we will: – Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material; – Notify the user who posted the material; – Document the notice and our response for our records.
Repeat infringers will have their accounts suspended or terminated at UrbanSync’s dis cretion. This repeat-infringer termination policy is not optional window dressing — DMCA safe-harbor protection is only available to service providers that have adopted, reasonably implemented, and informed users of such a policy. Courts have declined to extend safe-harbor protection where a platform’s repeat-infringer policy
existed on paper but was not actually followed, so this section should be enforced consis tently in practice, not just published.
3. Filing a Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing:
Send counter-notifications to the Designated Agent above. Upon receipt of a valid counter notification, we may restore the material within 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action seeking a restraining order.
4. Misrepresentation
Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
5. Changes to This Policy
We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. Continued use of the Services after changes constitutes acceptance of the updated policy.
