DMCA Policy

Effective date: 2025-07-07

This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) Policy describes how brilliantlightingdesign.com (“we”, “us”, “the Site”) responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement and how users may submit such notices.

1. Our policy

We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. In accordance with the DMCA and 17 U.S.C. § 512, it is our policy to:

• Respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement affecting content on the Site.
• Remove or disable access to material that is claimed to be infringing, after receiving a valid notice.
• In appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate access for repeat infringers.

2. Designated DMCA contact

If you believe that material available on or through brilliantlightingdesign.com infringes your copyright, you may send a DMCA notice of alleged infringement to our designated contact:

Email: dmca@brilliantlightingdesign.com

3. What to include in a DMCA notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your DMCA notice should include 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 that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (for example, a URL or specific page on brilliantlightingdesign.com).
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, company (if any), mailing address, telephone number and email address.
• The following statements in the body of your notice:
  • “I hereby state that I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
  • “I hereby state that the information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that I am the owner, or authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of the copyright or of an exclusive right under the copyright that is allegedly infringed.”

If your notice does not contain all of the required information, it may not be processed.

4. Our response to a valid DMCA notice

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we may:

• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
• Notify the user who posted the material (if applicable) that we have removed or disabled access to it.
• Provide information on how the user can submit a counter-notification under the DMCA, if appropriate.

5. Counter-notification

If material you posted on the Site has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe this was done in error or that you have the right to use the material, you may send us a counter-notification. A valid counter-notification should include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your judicial district (or, if you are outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or that person’s agent.

Counter-notifications should be sent to the same DMCA contact email listed above. We may restore the material if we receive a valid counter-notification, unless the original complaining party notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking an order to keep the material removed.

6. Repeat infringers

In appropriate circumstances, it is our policy to suspend or terminate user access for repeat infringers. The determination of what constitutes a “repeat infringer” is made at our sole discretion.

7. Misrepresentations

Under the DMCA, any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that it was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability. If you are unsure whether the material you are reporting or disputing is infringing, you should consider seeking legal advice.

Changes to this DMCA policy

We may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. When we do, we will revise the “Effective date” at the top of this page. Your continued use of the Site after any changes constitutes your acceptance of the updated policy.
