COPYRIGHT POLICY

Introduction

City-links ("City-links") respects the intellectual property rights of others and requests the users of its services to do the same. If you believe that certain content, which appears on City-links official event maps (the "Service"), infringes upon copyrights that you own or represent, you may send City-links' designated representative ("City-links Representative") a written notification, stating the location of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed, in accordance with the provisions of the French Law No. 2009-669 of 12 June 2009 promoting the dissemination and protection of creation on the Internet, known as the HADOPI law (or called "the creation and Internet law").

Upon your notification, City-links may remove or disable access to any such content.

To be effective, your notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to the Copyright Representative that includes substantially the following:

  1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed via using the Website, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
  3. Identification of the material that is claimed to infringe or to be the subject of infringing activity and that access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit City-links to locate the material, including the exact URI (Uniform resource Identifier) or coordinates on the Service's maps in which you discovered the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
  4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit City-links to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which you may be contacted;
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its representative, or the law.

Following receipt of your communication, City-links may ask you to provide further or supplemental information, prior to removing any content which was displayed in the Application, as City-links deems necessary to comply with the provisions of the HADOPI. City-links may also provide the registered user who uploaded the allegedly infringing content with your contact details, in order for that person to be able to contact you directly and communicate with you regarding your notification.

Counter notification

You may submit a counter notification to the Copyright Representative. To be effective, your counter notification must be a written communication provided to the Copyright Representative.

After receipt of a counter notification, City-links will promptly provide the person who submitted the claimed copyright infringement notification with a copy of the counter notification, and will inform that person that City-links will replace the removed material, or cease disabling access to that material 15 business days.

Repeat infringements

City-links may deny or cancel any individual use of the Website, or terminate your user account, if City-links determines in its sole discretion that you are a repeat infringer. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than once or a user that his or her uploaded material was removed from the Application more than once. City-links may decide, at its sole discretion that a sufficient reason exists for the immediate termination of your account for any reason, at any time. In these cases City-links may terminate your account immediately. City-links may notify you that it canceled your account by sending a message to the e-mail address that you provided during the registration process. Such notification will come into effect immediately.

Misrepresentations

Under the provisions of the HADOPI, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents: (1) that material is infringing, or (2) that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, will be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, that City-links may incur, if it is injured by such misrepresentation, as the result of its reliance upon such misrepresentation in removing or disabling access to the material claimed to be infringing.
