Boltnet, Inc. Infringement Policy

Boltnet, Inc. ("Boltnet") respects the intellectual property of others. Boltnet has prepared this policy that sets forth how Boltnet handles claims of intellectual property infringement stemming from copyrighted materials posted by users on Boltnet's website.

No Policing

As a service provider of online services under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (USC Section 512) ("DMCA"), Boltnet does not monitor or police the content that is posted by users on the Boltnet website.

Infringement Claims

In accordance with the DMCA, Boltnet has registered a designated agent with the United States Copyright Office to receive claims of copyright infringement based on content posted by a user on the Boltnet website. Claims of copyright infringement from a complaining party ("Complainant") must comply with the requirements of the DMCA and Boltnet's Copyright Infringement Policy (as reproduced on Attachment 1 hereto).

Prompt Evaluation of Infringement Claims

In compliance with the DMCA , Boltnet will take the following actions regarding a complaint of copyright infringement:

Boltnet will expeditiously evaluate the claim to ensure that the information required under the DMCA is included in the notice of infringement (see Attachment 1 for the required information). Boltnet will not evaluate the merits of the claim.

For claims that provide all of the required information as required under the DMCA, Boltnet will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material on the Boltnet website.

Boltnet will notify the Complainant if the notice of infringement is incomplete.

Notice to Respondent and Counter notice

Boltnet will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the person who created and/or posted the allegedly infringing items ("Respondent") that in accordance with Boltnet's policy and pursuant to DMCA guidelines, Boltnet has disabled access to or removed the allegedly infringing items from the Boltnet website. Boltnet will notify the Respondent that per DMCA guidelines, the Respondent has the right to challenge a notice of infringement and assert its legal right to use, upload and provide access to the materials which are alleged to be in violation of copyright. Respondent's counter notice must include the following:

Identify the specific URLs or other unique identifying information for the material that Boltnet has removed or to which Boltnet has disabled access.
Provide your name, address, telephone number, email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or San Francisco County, California if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification under subsection (c)(1)(C) or an agent of such person.
Include the following statement: "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material identified above was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
Sign the counter notice.
Send the written communication to the following address:
Boltnet, Inc.
Attn: Ben Smith
3 Pier, Suite 105
San Francisco, CA 94111
OR fax to: (415)449-3496

Notice to Complainant

If Boltnet receives a counter notice that complies with the requirements set forth above from a Respondent, Boltnet will promptly provide the Complainant with a copy of the counter notice. In such transmission to the Complainant, Boltnet also will advise the Complainant that Boltnet will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it, unless Boltnet receives notice from the Complainant that the Complainant has filed an action for a court order to restrain the Respondent from engaging in infringing activity with respect to material on the Boltnet website, within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter notice from the Respondent.

If Boltnet has not received such notice from the Complainant of the Complainant's filing of a court action against the Respondent within ten (10) business days of receiving the counter notice from the Respondent, then not later than fourteen (14) business days from Boltnet's receipt of the counter notice, Boltnet will replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it.

Action against violators

Nothing in this policy prohibits Boltnet from, in appropriate circumstances and at its discretion, taking actions against users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others.
