As a platform for Race Directors and event organizers, UltraSignup takes intellectual property rights very seriously. We comply with intellectual property laws and industry best practices in order to maintain the integrity of our marketplace. This Intellectual Property Policy explains how we address allegations of infringement, how authorized parties can submit reports of infringement regarding content on our platform, and how Race Directors can respond when their listings are affected by a report.
For more information on use of UltraSignup’s intellectual property, including guidelines for the use of UltraSignup’s Trademarks and brand, please refer to UltraSignup’s Trademark Policy.
This policy is a part of our Terms of Use. By using any of UltraSignup's services, you're agreeing to this policy and our Terms of Use.
UltraSignup is a marketplace comprised of independent Race Directors who run their own businesses, create their own policies, and are responsible for their event listings and complying with the law. We provide a platform. The content uploaded on UltraSignup’s marketplace is generated by independent Race Directors who are not employees, agents, or representatives of UltraSignup. Race Directors are responsible for ensuring they have all necessary rights to their content and that they are not infringing or violating any third party’s rights by posting it.
UltraSignup reserves the right to disable any listing or account that we believe violates our Terms of Use, including this Intellectual Property Policy. UltraSignup also reserves the right to take action against abusers of UltraSignup’s Intellectual Property Policy or our Terms of Use.
UltraSignup can’t speak on behalf of intellectual property owners, nor is UltraSignup in a position to offer legal advice or make legal determinations whether an account’s content infringes someone else’s intellectual property. UltraSignup will remove material cited for alleged intellectual property infringement when provided with a report that complies with our policies.
UltraSignup strives to respond quickly when we receive a report of intellectual property infringement that complies with our policies by removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material. When UltraSignup removes or disables access in response to a report, UltraSignup makes a reasonable attempt to contact the affected member, provide information about the report and removal, and, in cases of alleged copyright infringement, provide information about how to submit a counter notice. UltraSignup may also provide a copy of the infringement report, including the name and email address of the reporting party, to the affected member.
To submit a report of alleged infringement against UltraSignup listings, you can email [email protected]. This is the easiest way to report alleged infringement to UltraSignup and its Designated Agent under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other intellectual property rights.
UltraSignup may request additional information before processing a report, such as a letter of authorization from the rights owner, identity verification of the reporting party, or other documentation regarding the claimed right. UltraSignup may reject reports of infringement or counter notices that contain information we believe is false, fraudulent, incomplete, or otherwise submitted in bad faith. UltraSignup also reserves the right to take action against abusers of this policy.
In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), UltraSignup accepts counter notices for US-based copyright infringement reports only. When UltraSignup receives a DMCA counter notice, we will provide a copy of the counter notice to the original complaining party. The removed material may be replaced or access to it may be restored 10 business days after the counter notice is processed, unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order restraining the allegedly infringing party from relisting the items or a qualifying action with the Copyright Claims Board (CCB), and informs UltraSignup of this action.
