5. Review of Notices

After receiving a sufficiently detailed complaint, we may review the reported material.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, we may:

  • contact the content provider;
  • request additional information;
  • temporarily restrict access to the material;
  • remove the material;
  • disable access to an account;
  • take other appropriate measures.

We do not guarantee that every notice will result in removal.

6. Counter-Notice

Where applicable under the DMCA, a person whose content has been removed or restricted may submit a counter-notice.

A counter-notice should generally identify the material that was removed and include the information required under applicable law.

Where the DMCA procedure applies, we may process the counter-notice in accordance with the applicable DMCA requirements.

7. Repeat Infringers

Where appropriate and legally justified, e-bxs.com may restrict or terminate access to users who repeatedly infringe intellectual property rights.

We may also take action where a user repeatedly uploads or distributes content for which they do not have the necessary rights.

This policy is not limited to copyright.

Reports may also concern:

  • trademark infringement;
  • unauthorized use of logos;
  • plagiarism;
  • unauthorized distribution of course materials;
  • misuse of photographs or graphics;
  • other intellectual property violations.

Such reports will be reviewed under applicable law.

9. False or Misleading Notices

Submitting knowingly false or misleading infringement claims may have legal consequences.

Reports should therefore be made in good faith and contain accurate information.
