Applicable to: https://www.food-truck-finder.com and the Food Truck Finder mobile applications for iOS and Android

1. SCOPE OF THIS POLICY

1.1 Food Truck Finder L.L.C. (“Food Truck Finder”, “we”, “us” or “our”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. This Policy explains how to report content on the Service that you believe infringes your rights, and what we do in response.

1.2 This Policy forms part of our Terms and Conditions at https://www.food-truck-finder.com/legal/terms and should be read with our Community and Review Guidelines at https://www.food-truck-finder.com/legal/guidelines.

1.3 The Service carries content uploaded by food businesses and by consumer users, including photographs, menus, logos and written reviews. We do not create that content and do not review it before publication.

1.4 This Policy is not legal advice. If you are unsure whether your rights have been infringed, you should consult a lawyer before submitting a notification.

2. NOTIFICATION OF CLAIMED COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

2.1 If you own copyright in a work, or are authorised to act for the owner, and you believe that content on the Service infringes that copyright, you may send us a notification under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. 512.

2.2 To be effective, a notification must be in writing and must include a physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed, identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, where multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of them, identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it, such as the listing name and the address of the page or a description of the item within it, information reasonably sufficient to allow us to contact you, including name, address, telephone number and email address, a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law, and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

2.3 A notification that does not substantially comply with these requirements may not be treated as effective and may not receive a response.

3. DESIGNATED AGENT

3.1 Notifications must be sent to our designated agent: Joshua Miller, Food Truck Finder L.L.C., 2878 Valley Spring Ln SE, Caledonia, MI, 49316, email josh@food-truck-finder.com.

3.2 Notifications sent to any other address may be delayed or may not be actioned.

4. WHAT WE DO ON RECEIVING A NOTIFICATION

4.1 We review the notification for compliance with the statutory requirements. Where a notification is defective in a way we can identify, we may contact you and give you an opportunity to correct it.

4.2 Where a notification is effective, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified.

4.3 We will take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material, and will provide that user with a copy of the notification, including the identity and contact details of the complainant, so that the user may respond. If you do not wish those details to be shared with the user, you should not submit a notification.

4.4 Removal of material is not a determination by us that infringement has occurred. It is a step taken in accordance with the statutory procedure.

5. COUNTER NOTIFICATION

5.1 If your material has been removed and you believe that it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter notification under 17 U.S.C. 512(g).

5.2 A counter notification must include your physical or electronic signature, identification of the material removed and the location at which it appeared before removal, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the notification or from that person’s agent.

5.3 On receipt of an effective counter notification we will forward a copy to the complainant and will inform them that the material may be restored in not less than ten and not more than fourteen business days, unless we first receive notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

5.4 Counter notifications must be sent to the designated agent identified in section 3.

6. NOTICE AND NOTICE FOR CANADA

6.1 Where a claim of infringement relates to a user or content connected with Canada, we may in addition apply the notice and notice regime under sections 41.25 to 41.27 of the Copyright Act, R.S.C. 1985, c. C-42.

6.2 A notice under that regime must state the claimant’s name and address, identify the work and the claimant’s interest or right in it, specify the location data of the material concerned, state the claimed infringement, and state the date and time of the infringement. It must not contain a settlement demand, a request for payment or personal information, which are prohibited by that legislation.

6.3 Where a compliant notice is received, we will forward it to the relevant user and retain the records required by that legislation.

7. MISREPRESENTATION

7.1 Under 17 U.S.C. 512(f), a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by the copyright owner or by us.

7.2 Notifications submitted for an improper purpose, including to suppress lawful criticism, competition or a genuine review, are an abuse of this Policy and may result in the termination of your access to the Service.

8. REPEAT INFRINGERS

8.1 We maintain and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

8.2 In assessing whether termination is appropriate, we take into account the number and seriousness of effective notifications received, whether counter notifications were submitted, whether material was restored, and the conduct of the user.

8.3 Termination may extend to any other account we reasonably believe is controlled by the same person.

9. TRADEMARK, PASSING OFF AND IMPERSONATION COMPLAINTS

9.1 If you believe that a business name, logo, listing or display name on the Service infringes your trademark, amounts to passing off, or impersonates your business, contact josh@food-truck-finder.com.

9.2 A complaint should identify the mark relied upon and any registration details, the goods or services for which it is used, the content complained of and its location, the basis on which you say the use is infringing, and your contact details.

9.3 We will assess complaints and may require evidence of rights. Descriptive, comparative or nominative use of a mark, including a customer naming a business in a review, is not by itself infringing.

10. CONTENT BELONGING TO FOOD TRUCK FINDER

10.1 The Service, its software, design, interfaces, database structure, the compilation and arrangement of listings, aggregate ratings and rankings, and our name, logo and marks belong to us or our licensors.

10.2 You must not copy, scrape, extract, republish or redistribute that material, or use it to build a competing product, directory, dataset or model, without our written permission.

10.3 Requests for permission to use our brand, screenshots or content in press, research or educational material may be sent to josh@food-truck-finder.com.

11. OTHER COMPLAINTS

11.2 Requests relating to personal information, including removal of an image of you, should be sent to the contact address in our Privacy Policy at https://www.food-truck-finder.com/legal/privacy.
