As an intermediary, we are entitled to rely upon (among other things) the DMCA safe harbor available to system caching service providers and we maintain policies and procedures to terminate customers that would be considered repeat infringers under the DMCA. See 17 U.S.C. 512(b) available at http://www.copyright.gov/title17/92chap5.html#512.
Please direct claims of copyright infringement, including notices or counter-notices pursuant to DMCA to our Corporate Counsel – DMCA, DLVR, Inc., 5555 Van Buren St., Suite 235, Phoenix, AZ 85005, email: dmca@dlvr.com with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3) for additional information):

3. information reasonably sufficient to permit our customer to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address;
4. a statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and
5. a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Unless it is reasonably apparent to us that our customer has already received a notice of infringement from you regarding particular content, we will forward all the information you provide in your notice, including your contact information, to our customer.
If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content cached or delivered using DVLR’s Services or on any DLVR domain infringes upon your copyrights, we recommend that you submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA directly to the originating site. In order for a DMCA takedown notice to a system caching service provider to be effective under 17 U.S.C. 512(b), the notice provider must demonstrate either (a) that the content has already been removed from the originating site or (b) the notice provider has obtained a court order requiring the content be removed from the originating site or access to the content to be disabled.
Prior to filing a claim under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3) regarding a DVLR customer or customer’s content please review 17 U.S.C. 512(b) and note the following:
1. the content cached or delivered by DVLR’s services is not modified by DVLR except upon our customers’ instructions;
