Last updated: August 04, 2020

Zenlayer is committed to respecting the intellectual property of others and responding to effective notices of alleged infringement of copyrighted material to ensure compliance with applicable laws including international treaties and laws of various countries where Zenlayer provides services.

In those circumstances where the U.S. Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. §512 (c) (“DMCA”) is applicable, it is our policy to quickly notify the customer that is the subject of a correctly prepared notice under section 512(c). We have included the elements of a DMCA notice below, and have also prepared some sample language to assist you in preparing a correct DMCA notice. We will forward your notice to our customer. It is our policy to provide our customers 48-hours to reply with a confirmation of receipt of the notice and the rectification of the infringing content.

We encourage you to consult a lawyer before submitting a notice of copyright infringement. Copyright laws may allow a person to use a work in certain ways without the copyright owner’s permission. Please note that Section 512(f) of the DMCA states that any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a DMCA notice that content is infringing shall be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by the alleged infringer.
