Digital Millenium Copyright Act
Claims of Copyright
Infringement & Related Issues (17 USC § 512 et seq.).
We respect the intellectual property rights of
others. Anyone who believes their work has been reproduced in a way that
constitutes copyright infringement may notify our agent by providing the
following information:
- Identification of the copyrighted work that
you claim has been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single
online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such
works at the site; - Identification of the material that you claim
is infringing and needs to be removed, including a description of where it is
located so that the copyright agent can locate it; - Your address, telephone number, and, if
available, email address, so that the copyright agent may contact you about
your complaint; and - A signed statement that the above information
is accurate; that you have a good faith belief that the identified use of the
material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and,
under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to
act on the copyright owner’s behalf in this situation.
Upon obtaining such knowledge we will act
expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material. Please be aware
that there are substantial penalties for false claims.
If a notice of copyright infringement has been
wrongly filed against you, you may submit a counter notification to our agent.
A valid counter notification is a written communication that incorporates the
following elements:
- A physical or electronic signature of the
poster; - Identification of the material that has been
removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the
material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled; - A statement under penalty of perjury that you
have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result
of mistake or misidentification; - Your name, address, and telephone number; a
statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of federal district court for
the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is
outside of the U.S., for any judicial district in which the service provider
may be found; and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.
Notices of the foregoing copyright issues
should be sent as follows:
By mail:
- The DeVito Team Incorporated
- c/o Keller Williams Realty Greater Nassau
- 400 Garden City, NY 11530

By email:
If you give notice of copyright infringement
by email, an agent may begin investigating the alleged copyright infringement;
however, we must receive your signed statement by mail or as an attachment to
your email before we are required to take any action.
This information should not be construed as
legal advice. We recommend you seek independent legal counsel before filing a
notification or counternotification. For further information about the DMCA,
