If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or that your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, you should notify Featured of your infringement claim in accordance with the procedure set forth below.

Featured will process and investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate actions under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) and other applicable intellectual property laws with respect to any alleged or actual infringement. A notification of claimed copyright infringement should be emailed to Featured’s Copyright Agent at community@featured.com (Subject line:“DMCA Takedown Request”). You may also contact the Copyright Agent by mail: Terkel Inc, dba Featured7014 E Camelback Road Suite B100A, Scottsdale, AZ 85251

To be effective, the notification must be in writing and contain the following information:

a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest that is allegedly infringed;

identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works or other intellectual property are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works or other intellectual property;

identification of the content that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and where the content that you claim is infringing is located on hospitalitynews.io, with enough detail that we may find it on hospitalitynews.io;

your address, telephone number, and email address;

a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright or intellectual property owner, its agent, or the law; and

a statement by you that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or are authorized to act on the behalf of the owner of the copyright or intellectual property that is allegedly infringed.

Counter-Notice:If you receive a notice that a posting or portion of Your Content has been removed or suspended due to a copyright complaint, that means that we removed it at the request of a content owner. If you believe the material was removed in error, you have the option to file a DMCA counter-notification (the proper format for such counter-notice is defined below). When we receive a proper counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who originally complained about the alleged copyright violation. If we do not receive a notice from the original complainant within ten (10) business days, stating that the original complainant is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we will clear the complaint from your account’s record, and, at our discretion, we may replace the content that was removed. Please note that there are potentially seriously consequences for fraudulent or bad faith submissions of DMCA notifications or counter notifications. Such consequences may be imposed pursuant to the DMCA under Section 512(f). Before submitting a counter-notification, you should be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the content removed or that you have a good faith belief that content was erroneously removed. It is important to make sure that you understand the repercussions of submitting a false counter notification.

A proper counter notification should be sent to Featured’s Copyright Agent, as provided above, and it should contain the following:

Your name, address, and telephone number

The URLs of the content that was removed or disabled by us (you can copy and paste the link provided in the notification email)

The following statements:

I declare, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.
