Copyright Act Infringement

  1. For Copyright Act Infringements, we will, upon receipt of a compliant notice of infringement:

    (a) expeditiously take reasonable steps to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing electronic copy; and

    (b) after removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing electronic copy, expeditiously take reasonable steps to notify the person who had made that electronic copy available ("Content Owner").
     

  2. If the Content Owner provides a counter-notice that complies with the relevant requirements of the Singapore Copyright Act and Copyright Regulations ("Compliant Counter-Notice"), and the Compliant Counter-Notice is provided to us within 6 weeks of the date that we notify the Content Owner of the removal or disabling of access to the allegedly infringing electronic copy ("Notification Date"):

    (a) we will expeditiously take reasonable steps to restore, or to restore access to, the allegedly infringing electronic copy, if it is technically and practically feasible to do so; and

    (b) if, before we complete the necessary steps to restore, or to restore access to, the allegedly infringing electronic copy (where it is technically and practically feasible to do so), the owner of the copyright in question commences proceedings to prevent the restoration of, or the restoration of access to, the allegedly infringing electronic copy, and we are informed of such proceedings in writing, we will cease such steps to restore, or to restore access to, the allegedly infringing electronic copy.
