Copyright Compliance Policy

Ensuring the intellectual property rights are respected and upheld is fundamental to fostering creativity and innovation. At Medical Power of Attorney website, a steadfast commitment is placed on honoring the copyright laws and protecting the works of others. This policy outlines the approach towards copyright compliance and the steps to be taken if there is a belief that any content on the site infringes upon those rights.

Copyright Infringement Notification

If one believes that their work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or their intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, they are encouraged to notify the site administration. Notifications should be drafted in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and must be sent to our designated agent at dmca@healthcarepoaform.com. A response to your concerns is prioritized, and actions deemed necessary and appropriate will be taken promptly.

Requirements for a Valid Notification

A notification of alleged infringement must be a written communication that includes the following:

  • A signature, physical or electronic, of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

  • 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.

  • 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 the site to locate the material.

  • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the site 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.

  • 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.

  • 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.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If an individual or entity believes that the content which was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the individual or entity believes that they have the right to post and use such content from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, a counter-notification may be sent to the site's designated agent. The counter-notification must include the following:

  • A physical or electronic signature.

  • Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.

  • A statement under penalty of perjury that the individual or entity has a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the content to be removed or disabled.

  • The individual’s or entity’s name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that the individual or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the address is located, or if the individual's or entity’s address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which the service provider may be found, and that the individual or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

Upon receipt of a counter-notification containing the information as outlined above, the Medical Power of Attorney website will promptly provide the person who provided the initial notification of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter-notification, and inform that person that the site will replace the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. The content will be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the site's designated agent first receives notice from the person who provided the initial notification that such person has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in infringing activity relating to the content on the Medical Power of Attorney website’s network or system.

It is the policy of the Medical Power of Attorney website to terminate the account of repeat infringers when appropriate. Since the site does not have a registering function, this policy primarily serves as an educational guide and a declaration of the site's commitment to copyright compliance.
