Intellectual Property Claim

If you believe that RiverVera has infringed your intellectual property rights, we encourage you to contact us using the procedure outlined below.

A. PROCEDURE FOR REPORTING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT

It is our policy to:

• Block access to or remove any content (including text, graphics, and photos) that we believe in good faith to infringe the intellectual property rights of third parties upon receiving a compliant notice.
• Remove and discontinue service to repeat infringers.

If you believe that content on our website constitutes copyright infringement or violates your intellectual property rights, please send a notice of infringement containing the following information to our designated agent:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed: Provide the registration number(s), if applicable.
2. Identification of the infringing content: Include:
   • A description of how the material is using the copyrighted work or intellectual property in a way that constitutes infringement.
   • A description of where the material is located on the website, with sufficient detail to allow us to verify its existence.
3. Your contact information: Full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement by you: You must declare that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property is not authorized by the rights holder, its agents, or the law.
5. A statement under penalty of perjury: You must confirm that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the rights holder or authorized to act on their behalf.
6. Your electronic or physical signature.

B. ACTIONS TAKEN UPON RECEIVING A NOTICE

Once we receive a proper bona fide infringement notice:

• We will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
• We will notify the content provider about the removal.
• Repeat offenders may have their access to our services terminated.

C. PROCEDURE TO FILE A COUNTER-NOTICE

If you believe that the content removed or disabled was done so in error, or if you have the right to post and use the content under the law (including fair use), you may send a counter-notice containing the following:

1. Identification of the content: Describe the content that was removed or disabled and where it was located before removal.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury: Declare that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
3. Your contact details: Full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement consenting to the jurisdiction: You must consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district where your address is located.
5. Your electronic or physical signature.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may send a copy to the original complainant, informing them that the removed content may be restored in 10-14 business days unless legal action is taken.

Important: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly misrepresents that content or activity is infringing may be liable for damages, including attorney’s fees.
