Copyright Complaints

ACCCE respects the intellectual property rights of others. To that end, ACCCE prohibits users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the America’s Power Army Site or service any materials that violate another party's intellectual property rights. When we receive proper Notification of Alleged Copyright Infringement as described in our Copyright Policy applicable to the America’s Power Army Site (See Below) we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material and terminate the accounts of repeat infringers as described herein in accordance with the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (DMCA). If you believe that any material on the Site infringes upon any copyright which you own or control, you may send a written notification of such infringement to our Designated Agent. Please see the Copyright Policy applicable to the use of the America’s Power Army Site for more information on how to report infringement of your copyright.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, ACCCE has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at ACCCE's sole discretion, members who are deemed to be repeat infringers. ACCCE may also at its sole discretion limit access to the Site and/or terminate the memberships of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

How to Appeal Claims of Copyright Infringement

ACCCE respects the copyrights of others, and we prohibit users from uploading, posting or otherwise transmitting on the ACCCE website any materials that violate another party's copyrights. Among other things, this means that we remove content that is reported to us pursuant to the DMCA.

However, while ACCCE does not tolerate copyright infringement, we also do not tolerate false claims of infringement. If you believe that content that you posted on the site was removed by mistake, you can file a DMCA counter-notice by with our Designated Agen (see, the Copyright Policy applicable to the America’s Power Army Site). So long as everything appears to be in order with your counter-notice, we will forward it to the complaining rights owner. The DMCA then allows us to restore your content if the rights owner does not file a court action against you within 10 business days of receiving the copy of your counter-notice.

Please be aware that the DMCA makes users liable for materially misrepresenting in a counter-notice that their content was removed by mistake. Therefore, if you are not confident of your claims, we suggest you seek legal advice before filing a DMCA counter-notice with us.
