DMCA Policy

1. Overview

RaceAlly respects the intellectual property of photographers, videographers, designers, brands, and everyone else whose work makes racing look as good as it feels. We respond to claims of copyright infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). If you believe content on RaceAlly infringes your copyright, send a notice as described below and we will act expeditiously — typically by removing or disabling access to the identified material while the claim is evaluated.

2. Filing a DMCA Notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your written notice to our designated agent must include: (a) identification of the copyrighted work you claim is infringed (or a representative list if there are several); (b) identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough information for us to locate it — a direct URL to the RaceAlly page is best; (c) your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address; (d) a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; (e) a statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner; and (f) your physical or electronic signature.

Be sure before you file. Under Section 512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — can be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

3. Designated Agent

Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to our designated agent: Chase Farris, GoGeno LLC d/b/a RaceAlly, email Chase@FarrisFactory.com (subject line “DMCA Notice”). Email is the fastest route and the one we monitor most closely.

Note: Registration with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory is in progress.

4. Counter-Notices

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent above. It must include: (a) identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal; (b) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; (c) your name, address, and telephone number; (d) a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (or, if outside the United States, for any judicial district in which RaceAlly may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent; and (e) your physical or electronic signature.

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original claimant. If the claimant does not notify us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material.

5. Repeat Infringers

We maintain and enforce a repeat-infringer policy: accounts that are the subject of repeated valid infringement notices will be terminated in appropriate circumstances. We track notices per account, and a user who keeps posting other people’s work without permission loses access to RaceAlly. See also our Terms of Service and Community Guidelines.
