DMCA Policy

Masters Tee-Times ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA"), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using the Masters Tee-Times website (the "Site") or services, if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy outlines the information required to submit an infringement notice to us and how to file a counter-notification if your content was removed in error.

Filing a DMCA Infringement Notification

For Copyright Holders

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on Masters Tee-Times infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information in writing:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. 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 at that site.
  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 disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit Masters Tee-Times to locate the material (e.g., URL(s) of the infringing material).
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Masters Tee-Times to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email 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.

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages.

Filing a DMCA Counter-Notification

For Users Whose Content Was Removed

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our Designated Copyright Agent:

  • 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 the address is located (or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which Masters Tee-Times may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

If a counter-notification is received by our Designated Copyright Agent, Masters Tee-Times may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that Masters Tee-Times may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. 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, at our sole discretion.
