Copyright Dispute Policy

adBrite is an advertising exchange over which third party advertisers (”advertisers”) distribute online advertisements to websites owned or operated by other third parties (“publishers”). We do not create or edit ads for our advertisers and we do not own or operate any publisher website on which we serve ads. Therefore, we are not legally responsible for content that may be present in advertisements or on publisher websites that infringes the copyrights of third parties. However, it is our policy to encourage our advertisers and publishers to respect the rights of third party copyright owners. Accordingly, we have adopted the following general policy toward copyright disputes in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

If you believe that an advertisement that we have served infringes copyrighted material or if you believe that a publisher website on which we are serving ads contains content that infringes copyrighted material, and you have already unsuccessfully attempted to resolve the issue by contacting the advertiser or publisher involved, you may send us a complaint containing the following information:

1. Identification of the specific works you believe were infringed.
2. Identification of the specific material that you believe is infringing (“infringing material”), including information regarding the URL and the dates and times on which the infringing material previously appeared, so we are able to verify its existence. Note that a screen shot is helpful, but not required.
3. A statement that:
   1. you have first attempted to contact the publisher on whose website our ad appeared, or the advertiser who ran the ad, to resolve the dispute directly;
   2. you have provided any information reasonably requested by the publisher to the publisher, or by the advertiser to the advertiser (including all of the information in items 1-2 above and 4-8 below), and
   3. the publisher has not removed the infringing material from its website within 10 business days of when you provided this information, or the advertiser has not agreed to remove the infringing material from its ads within 10 business days of when you provided this information.

   Note that if our ad appears on a publisher website that links to a second website where the infringing material is located, you should make this statement with respect to both the linking website and the website on which the infringing material is located.

   Similarly, if you believe that infringing material is present on a website that is linked to an ad we served, you should make this statement with respect to both the publisher website that is linked to the ad and the ad itself, or state that you believe in good faith that the website is owned or operated by the advertiser who ran the ad.

4. Your contact information, including an address, telephone number and an e-mail address at which you can be reached.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the infringing material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
6. A statement that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed.
7. A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided in items 1-6 above is accurate and that you are authorized to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.
8. Your physical or electronic signature.

The complaint may be sent to us at the address of the designated agent below either by postal mail, email or facsimile, though we prefer email for a faster response.

Once we receive a complaint, we will take appropriate action. That action could include bringing the infringing content to the advertiser’s or publisher’s attention ourselves and requesting its immediate removal. It could include removing the ad or publisher website from our exchange until the infringing content is removed. In the case of repeat offenders, it could include permanently removing the advertiser or publisher website from our exchange.

Please note that your complaint must include all of the information requested in items 1-8 for us to act on it. If any of this information is missing, we will attempt to contact you to obtain the missing information using the information provided under item 4. However, if we are unable to reach you or you do not provide the missing information within a reasonable period of time of your complaint, the matter will be closed and we will be unable to take further action.
