DMCA Policy

DMCA Copyright Policy

The National Automobile Museum (the "Museum") 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 ("DMCA"), the text of which may be found on the U.S. Copyright Office website at http://www.copyright.gov/legislation/dmca.pdf, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the National Automobile Museum service and/or website (the "Site") if such claims are reported to our Designated Copyright Agent identified below.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a notification of alleged infringement, as well as the information that should be present in a counter-notification. It is designed to make the process of reporting and resolving alleged copyright infringement as straightforward as possible, while also reducing the number of notifications that we receive that are fraudulent or difficult to understand.

Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a written notification ("DMCA Notice") to our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.
  2. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including the URL (i.e., web page address) of the location where the copyrighted work exists or a copy of the copyrighted work.
  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 to which is to be disabled and information reasonably sufficient to permit the National Automobile Museum to locate the material.
  4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the above information in your DMCA Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.

Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that your content, which was removed or 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 material, you may send a counter-notification ("Counter-Notice") 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 disabled.
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or a misidentification of the material.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [Insert Federal Court District, e.g., the District of Nevada] and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a Counter-Notice is received by our Designated Copyright Agent, the National Automobile Museum may send a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original complaining party informing that person that the Museum 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-Notice, at the National Automobile Museum's sole discretion.
