Trademarks and Infringement of Intellectual Property. We are committed to following appropriate legal procedures to remove infringing content from the Services. Assembly® will try to accommodate and not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify and protect their works. Assembly® reserves the right to do any or all of the following at any time at our sole discretion: (i) immediately suspend your use of the Services; and/or (ii) remove, block, and disable access to any of your Content that is alleged to infringe the intellectual property rights of others. When we receive notice of intellectual property infringement (via the form available here), Assembly® strives to respond quickly by removing, blocking, or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material. When Assembly® removes, blocks or disables access in response to such a notice, Assembly® makes a reasonable attempt to contact the allegedly infringing party, provide information about the notice and removal, and, in cases of alleged copyright infringement, provide information about counter notification.
DMCA Cooperation: Assembly®’s copyright infringement notice and Content removal policies and procedures are intended to comply with the requirements and obligations of service providers under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). To the extent any requirements and obligations of service providers under the DMCA change or are different than set forth herein, Assembly®’s policies and procedures may likewise change in accordance with the DMCA requirements and obligations of service providers. More information about DMCA procedure is available here.
Counter DMCA Notifications: If Assembly® receives a DMCA counter notification, Assembly® will send a copy of the counter notice to the original complaining party. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the allegedly infringing party and informs Assembly® of this action, the removed, blocked, or disabled material may be replaced or access to it may be restored 10-14 business days after delivery of the counter notice to the original complaining party. If an action is filed, any Content removed, blocked, or disabled shall remain removed, blocked or disabled at the sole discretion of Assembly®.
