We seek to promote the progress of science and the useful arts and, in furtherance of that goal, it is SndControl's policy and you agree by using our website, software, and services (the "Software Services"), in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, we may disable and/or terminate our Software Services for users (including you) who repeatedly infringe or are repeatedly charged with infringing the copyrights or other intellectual property rights of others.

In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, SndControl will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed by our users when using our Products that are reported to SndControl's Designated Copyright Agent, identified in the sample notice below.

   Note: There are legal and financial consequences for fraudulent and/or bad faith submissions. Before submitting a notice or counter-notice, be sure that you are the actual rights holder of the removed content or that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error, and understand the repercussions of submitting a false claim.

   If you receive a notification that your use of our Software Services or your content on our Software Services has been removed due a copyright complaint, it means that the content has been deleted from SndControl at the request of the content's owner. If you want us to forward the information from the Copyright Complaint notification, just reply to the notification to let us know. We'll be happy to send it along (without any personal contact information). If your account receives too many copyright complaints, you may lose the ability to control your own content on SndControl, and your account may be disabled completely.

   We may get fraudulent complaints from people and we do our best to filter out the fraudulent complaints. Nevertheless, we take Copyright Infringement accusations seriously. If you believe your content on SndControl was removed in error, you have the option to file a counter-notice by following the steps below. When we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward a copy to the person who filed the original complaint. If we do not receive notice within 10 business days that the submitter of the original complaint is seeking a court order to prevent further infringement of the content at issue, we will remove the complaint from your account's record, and we may replace the content that was removed.
