COMPLAINTS
REGARDING CONTENT POSTED ON THE EXPEDITIONQUEST WEBSITE
ExpeditionQuest desires to offer a website where our Users and Members share
truthful and accurate information. We respect the intellectual property rights
of others and desire to offer a website which contains no content that violates
those rights. Our User Agreement requires that information posted by Users be
accurate, lawful and not in violation of the intellectual property rights of
third parties. To promote these objectives, ExpeditionQuest provides a process
for submission of complaints concerning content posted by our Users. Our policy
and procedures are described in the sections that follow.
In accordance with our User Agreement and these procedures, and regardless
of whether ExpeditionQuest may be liable for any alleged violation of rights or
inaccurate or unlawful content, ExpeditionQuest may remove or disable access to
specified content appearing on the ExpeditionQuest website upon receipt of a
verified notice asserting that the content infringes intellectual property
rights, is inaccurate, or is otherwise unlawful. Whether or not we disable
access to or remove content, ExpeditionQuest may make a good faith attempt to
forward the written notification, including the complainant’s contact
information, to the User/Member who posted the content and/or take other
reasonable steps to notify the User that ExpeditionQuest has received notice of
an alleged violation of intellectual property rights or other content
violation. The User may refute a claim by submitting a counter-notice as
permitted in these procedures. Any counter-notice submitted may be provided to
the complainant with the User’s contact information. Our policies and
procedures for removing or disabling access to content alleged to be
infringing, inaccurate or otherwise unlawful are and remain at our sole
discretion. It is also our policy, in appropriate circumstances and in our
discretion, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of Users, or groups as the
case may be, who may infringe or repeatedly infringe the intellectual property
rights of others, or who otherwise post inaccurate, inappropriate or unlawful content.
Please note that any notice or counter-notice you submit must be truthful
and must be submitted under penalty of perjury. A false notice or
counter-notice may give rise to personal liability. You may therefore want to
seek the advice of legal counsel before submitting a notice or a
counter-notice.
