DMCA Policy

Starmer Middle East respects the intellectual property rights of others and is committed to complying with applicable copyright laws, including the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). This policy outlines the procedures for copyright owners to notify us of alleged infringement and for users to submit counter-notifications if their content has been mistakenly removed.

Filing a Notice of Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied and is accessible on the Starmer Middle East website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may notify our Designated Agent by providing the following information in writing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Starmer Middle East to locate the material (e.g., URL(s) of the infringing content).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Starmer Middle East to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
  5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective, a counter-notification must be a written communication that includes substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was 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 to be removed or disabled.
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Starmer Middle East may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of alleged infringement or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Starmer Middle East will promptly forward a copy to the complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order 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-notification.
