Intellectual Property Policy
It is HIT’s policy to respond to notices of alleged
infringement with intellectual property laws and the Digital
Millennium Copyright Act
http://lcWeb.loc.gov/copyright/.
HIT’s response may include removing or disabling access to
material claimed to be the subject of infringement and/or
terminating a Client’s account including but not limited to
termination of a Client’s Website.
If we remove or disable access in response to such a notice,
we will attempt to contact the owner of the Website or
Content so they may make a counter response. A
copy of the notice will be provided to the account owner
that provided the allegedly infringing material.
Please note that under the Act you will be liable for
damages (including attorney’s fees) if you misrepresent a
copyright infringement. If you are not sure whether
material available online infringes on your copyright we
suggest you obtain legal counsel first.
