Copyright Infringement & Digital Millennium Copyright Act

ATLCrespects the intellectual property rights of others. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA” found at 17 U.S.C. § 512) provides that owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may report alleged infringements to service providers like ATLC. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, ATLCmaintains a policy that provides for the termination of IP Services, under appropriate circumstances, if Customers are found to be a repeat infringer and/or if Customers’ IP Services are used repeatedly for infringement (the “Repeat Infringer Policy”). ATLCmay terminate IP Services at any time with or without notice to Customers.

ATLChas no obligation to investigate possible copyright infringements with respect to materials transmitted by Customer or any other users of the IP Services. However, ATLCwill process valid notifications of claimed infringement under the DMCA, and continued receipt of infringement notifications for Customer’s account will be used as a factor in determining whether Customer is a repeat infringer. In addition, ATLCmay voluntarily participate, on terms acceptable to ATLC, in copyright alert and graduated response programs.
