The address of Fantasy Postseason's Designated Agent to Receive Notification of Claimed Infringement ('Designated Agent') is listed in this policy.


  1. NOTICE TO OWNERS OF COPYRIGHT WORKS

    The DMCA provides a legal procedure by which you can request Fantasy Postseason to disable access to content on its site where your copyrighted work(s) are appearing without your permission. There are two parts to the legal procedure: (1) Writing a Proper DMCA Notice, and (2) Sending the Proper DMCA Notice to Fantasy Postseason's Designated Agent.

    • State that the information in the notice is accurate, under penalty of perjury.

    • Sign the notice with either a physical or electronic signature.

  1. WHAT WE DO WHEN WE RECEIVE A PROPER DMCA NOTICE

    Fantasy Postseason will follow the procedures provided in the DMCA, which prescribe a notice and takedown procedure, subject to the content owner’s right to submit a counter-notification claiming lawful use of the disabled works.


  1. NOTICE AND TAKEDOWN PROCEDURE

    It is expected that all users of any part of the Fantasy Postseason site will comply with applicable copyright laws. However if Fantasy Postseason is notified of claimed copyright infringement, or otherwise becomes aware of facts and circumstances from which infringement is apparent, it will respond expeditiously by removing/disabling the infringing material. Fantasy Postseason will comply with the appropriate provisions of the DMCA in the event a counter-notification is received by its Designated Agent.


  1. NOTICE TO USERS OF FANTASY POSTSEASON

    Pursuant to the Terms of Service you agreed to when you were permitted to become a Fantasy Postseason user, you are required to use only lawfully-acquired creative works as Fantasy Postseason content, and any links or pages of Fantasy Postseason's website that contains your content may be disabled upon receipt of notice that infringing material is appearing there. Fantasy Postseason also respects the legitimate interests of content owners in utilizing media content lawfully, being permitted to present a response to claims of infringement, and obtaining timely restoration of access to a website that has been disabled due to a copyright complaint. Your site usage privileges will also be suspended. You may protest a DMCA Notice by submitting a counter-notification as described below.


  1. WRITING AND SUBMITTING A COUNTER-NOTIFICATION
    To write a proper counter-notification, please provide the following information:

    • State that access to your Fantasy Postseason account was disabled due to the operation of the Notice and Takedown procedure.

    • Identify the material that has been removed and designate its URL prior to removal.

    • State, under penalty of perjury:
      • Your name, address and telephone number.
      • That you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material.
      • Your physical or electronic signature.

    If a counter-notice is received by the Designated Agent, Fantasy Postseason may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party stating that it may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an additional complaint against the content provider, member or user, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice (at Fantasy Postseason's discretion).

  1. REPEAT INFRINGERS
