DMCA Policy

Introduction

Welcome to Phoenix Syndicate’s DMCA Policy—a guide to how we handle copyright infringement on our platform. While we strive to provide free access to a diverse range of content, we understand the importance of respecting copyright and intellectual property rights.

Our Commitment to Copyright

At Phoenix Syndicate, we are committed to upholding copyright laws and respecting the rights of content creators. Our platform operates under the principles of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) to address copyright infringement effectively. Third party images, product descriptions and product names are the legal property (copyright and/or trademark) of their respective owner(s) where said companies’ or individuals’ rights apply.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe your copyrighted work has been infringed upon on Phoenix Syndicate’s platform, we encourage you to follow these steps:

1. Submit a Takedown Notice: Send a written notification to our designated copyright agent, providing detailed information about the copyrighted work, the infringing material, and your contact information.
2. Verification Process: Upon receiving a valid takedown notice, we will promptly review the reported content and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material.
3. Counter Notification: If you believe your content was removed mistakenly, you have the option to submit a counter notification, providing evidence of your ownership of the material and consenting to jurisdiction of the federal court in the event of legal action by the copyright holder.

User Responsibilities

We DO NOT advocate digital piracy

Phoenix Syndicate aims to familiarize a wide range of international users with Eastern forms of art and literature. To achieve this goal, the books’ fragments found on our website have been crowdsourced from a wide range of users, which in turn, makes it impossible for us to maintain control over all material found on our website. If a creator or an author considers fragments found on this website a violation of their intellectual property, they are welcomed to contact us.

For your complaints to be valid, the complaining party must provide the following information upon issuing a notice of copyright infringement:

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 have 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 that site.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
