Shared Courses Policy Regarding Repeat Infringers

Shared Courses does not condone or tolerate copyright infringement or any violation of the intellectual property rights of Shared Courses or of others. Shared Courses reserves the right to terminate the access and/or use privileges of any person who has been determined to be a ‘repeat infringer’ of the copyrights of Shared Courses or others. Shared Courses reserves the right to define the criteria by which Shared Courses will determine that a person is a ‘repeat infringer.’ In the event that repeat infringer’ is defined by statute, law, or regulation as applicable to 17 USC § 512, Shared Courses will adopt that definition as a minimum standard. Without limiting Shared Courses’s right to define ‘repeat infringer,’ as a general rule, Shared Courses will define a ‘repeat infringer’ as any person or entity about whom Shared Courses has received two or more DMCA Notices of Alleged Infringement. Shared Courses will take into account all relevant facts and circumstances when determining whether or not termination of access and/or use privileges of a ‘repeat infringer’ is appropriate.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER Shared Courses TERMINATES ACCESS AND/OR USE PRIVILEGES OF ANY PERSON OR ENTITY, ‘REPEAT INFRINGER’ OR OTHERWISE, Shared Courses IN NO WAY WAIVES ANY RIGHT TO PURSUE ANY AVAILABLE REMEDY AT LAW OR IN EQUITY AGAINST COPYRIGHT INFRINGERS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS VIOLATORS, NOR WILL Shared Courses INDEMNIFY OR PROVIDE LEGAL REPRESENTATION TO ANY ALLEGED INFRINGER IN ANY ACTION ARISING FROM THE ALLEGED INFRINGER’S USE OF ANY Shared Courses WEBSITE OR SERVICE, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY DESCRIBED IN THIS NOTICE.
