DCMA Notification GuidelinesCopyright InfringementThe Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City, (hereafter BIAKS-GKC) supports the protection of intellectual property. BIAKS-GKC has established the following policies for considering copyright infringement claims.

Digital Millenium Copyright Act Notification

To notify BIAKS-GKC of a claimed copyright infringement, a notification of a claimed copyright infringement must be provided to BIAKS-GKC via e-mail and must include the following information:

1. The subject line of the e-mail must include the words “Copyright Infringement Claim.”

2. An electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive copyright that has allegedly been infringed.

3. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works on that site.

4. 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 BIAA to locate the material.

5. Information reasonably sufficient to permit BIAKS-GKC to contact the Complaining Party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the Complaining Party may be contacted.

6. 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.

7. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complaining Party is the owner, or is authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of appropriate notification from the Complaining Party, BIAKS-GKC will initiate an investigation and forward the Complaining Party’s written notification to the alleged infringer. While BIAKS-GKC is investigating the claim, BIAKS-GKC, at its sole discretion and without any legal obligation to do so, may temporarily remove or deny access to the allegedly infringing material.

If BIAKS-GKC concludes that the Complaining Party has raised a legitimate copyright claim, it will remove or deny access to the allegedly infringing material. If BIAKS-GKC concludes that the Complaining Party has not raised a legitimate claim, BIAKS-GKC will restore access to the allegedly infringing material.

Counter Notification

If you have received a notice of copyright or trademark infringement that you wish to challenge based on 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, you may provide Counter Notification by emailing info@biaks.org and including the following:
1. An electronic signature of the alleged infringer.

2. 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.

3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the alleged infringer has 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.

4. The alleged infringer’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the Infringer consents to the jurisdiction as solely determined by the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City or if the alleged infringer’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district selected by BIAKS-GKC, and that the alleged infringer will accept service of process from the Complaining Party or an agent of such Party.

Upon receipt of a Counter Notification as described above, BIAKS-GKC shall promptly provide the Complaining Party with a copy of the Counter Notification, and inform such Party that it will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in ten (10) business days. BIAKS-GKC will replace the removed material and cease disabling access to it in not less than ten (10), nor more than fourteen (14), business days following receipt of the Counter Notification, unless BIAKS-GKC first receives notice from the Complaining Party that such Complaining Party has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on BIAKS-GKC’s website.

Repeat Infringers

It is the policy of the Brain Injury Association of Kansas and Greater Kansas City to provide for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users who are repeat infringers of copyrighted works.
