Copyright and DMCA Policy


Last Updated: December 21, 2012

The U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") provides recourse to copyright owners who believe that their rights under the United States Copyright Act have been infringed by acts of third parties over the Internet.

If you believe that any content uploaded, posted or otherwise transmitted through the online service (the "Service") offered by SKIVE IT, INC. ("Company") infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may send a written notification to Company's Designated DMCA Agent in accordance with the process set forth below.

1. Designated DMCA Agent.

Company's designated DMCA agent is Aditya Mohan (the "Designated DMCA Agent"), and our Designated DMCA Agent's contact information is as follows:

2. Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement.

If you believe that your own copyrighted work is accessible through the Service in violation of your copyright, you may provide our Designated DMCA Agent with a written communication as set forth in Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA that contains substantially the following information:

  • (a) Identify in sufficient detail the copyrighted work or intellectual property that you claim has been infringed so that we can locate the material. If multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by your notification, you may provide a representative list of such works at that site.
  • (b) Identify the URL or other specific location on the Service that contains the material that you claim infringes your copyright described in Item (a) above. You must provide us with reasonably sufficient information to enable us to locate the alleged infringing material.
    • (c) Provide the electronic or physical signature of the owner of the copyright or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  • (d) Include a statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • (e) Include a statement by you that the information contained in your notice is accurate and that you attest under penalty of perjury that you are the copyright owner or that you are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
  • (f) Include your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.

You may submit any notification of alleged copyright infringement to our Designated DMCA Agent by fax, mail, or email at the contact information noted above.

Please note that you may be liable for damages, including court costs and attorneys fees, if you materially misrepresent that content on the Service is copyright infringing.

Upon receiving a proper notification of alleged copyright infringement as described in this Section 2, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and promptly notify the alleged infringer of your claim. We also will advise the alleged infringer of the DMCA statutory counter-notification procedure described below in Section 3 by which the alleged infringer may respond to your claim and request that we restore this material.

Please note that our furnishing your claim to the alleged infringer will include the personal information you provide in Section 2(f) above, which the alleged infringer may use to contact you directly. As such, by submitting a notification of alleged copyright infringement, you consent to disclosure of your information in the aforementioned manner. If you wish to retract your copyright infringement notification, please refer to Section 4 below.

3. Counter-Notification.

If you believe your own copyrighted material has been removed from the Service as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification letter to our Designated DMCA Agent pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. To be an effective counter-notification under the DMCA, your letter must include substantially the following:

  • (a) Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • (b) The statements:
    • i. "I consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court in which my address is located, or if my address is outside the United States, the judicial district in which SKIVE IT, INC. is located.";
    • ii. "I will accept service of process from the party that filed the notification of alleged copyright infringement or the party's agent."; and
    • iii. "Under penalty of perjury, I have a good faith belief that the material in question was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled."
  • (c) Your name, address, telephone number, email address, and if applicable, username associated with Service.
  • (d) Your physical or electronic signature.

You may submit your counter-notification letter to our Designated DMCA Agent by fax, mail, or email at the contact information noted above. Please note that upon receipt of your counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. You consent to disclosure of your information in the aforementioned manner.

If you send us a valid, written counter-notification letter meeting the requirements described above, we will restore your removed or disabled material after 10 business days but no later than 14 business days from the date we receive your counter notification, unless our Designated DMCA Agent first receives notice from the party filing the original notification of alleged copyright infringement informing us that such party has filed a court action to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity related to the material in question.

Please note that if you materially misrepresent that the disabled or removed content was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. If you are unsure of whether you own all the necessary rights to the material that is the subject of the complaint, filing a counter-notification may be inappropriate. However, you may contact the original complainant directly to seek a retraction of their claim. For retractions, please refer to section 4's "Retraction Policy."

4. Retraction Policy.

We will consider any retraction of a copyright complaint from the original complainant that is sent from the same address as the original copyright complaint.

If you are the original complainant and seek to retract your complaint, please provide our Designated DMCA Agent with a written communication with the following information:

  • (a) The statement, with fields in all-caps completed: "I hereby retract my claim of copyright infringement sent on (DATE OF ORIGINAL COMPLAINT) regarding (BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF COMPLAINT) located at (PROVIDE URL OR OTHER SPECIFIC LOCATION ON THE SERVICE THAT CONTAINS THE CONTESTED MATERIAL)."
  • (b) Your physical or electronic signature.

    • If you are the alleged infringer and seek to contact the original complainant, please write or email the original complainant at the address provided in the copyright complaint furnished to you, and have the original complainant contact us directly with their retraction following the procedure listed above for retractions by original complainant. Please be aware that you are responsible for any communications sent by you to the original complainant.
