Maryland Property Checker respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users and contributors to do the same. If you believe that copyrighted material has been used on our website in a way that infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA copyright infringement notice.
Copyright Infringement Notice
If you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner, you may contact us with a written notice containing enough information for us to identify the allegedly infringing material.
Your notice should include:
- Your full name and contact information.
- A description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
- The URL or specific location of the material you believe is infringing.
- A statement explaining why you believe the material infringes your copyright.
- A statement confirming that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
- A statement that the information provided in your notice is accurate.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
How We Handle DMCA Notices
After receiving a valid copyright infringement notice, we may review the reported material and take appropriate action where necessary.
Depending on the circumstances, we may remove, restrict access to, or disable the allegedly infringing material.
We may also contact the person responsible for the material when appropriate.
Submitting a DMCA notice does not guarantee that material will be removed. We may request additional information if the notice does not contain sufficient details to evaluate the claim.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that material was removed or restricted because of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification.
A counter-notification should generally include:
- Your full name and contact information.
- Identification of the material that was removed or restricted and its previous location.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or restricted as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate federal court as required under applicable law.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may review the matter and take appropriate action consistent with applicable copyright law.
Repeat Infringers
Where appropriate, Maryland Property Checker may restrict or terminate access for users who repeatedly infringe copyrights or otherwise violate applicable intellectual property rights.
False or Misleading Claims
Please do not submit a false, fraudulent, or misleading copyright infringement notice or counter-notification. Misuse of the DMCA process may result in legal consequences.
