Copyright Policy

Subscribers are prohibited from using the Internet access or other services offered by or through Ozark Fiber to engage in any activity that infringes the copyrighted works of others.

Ozark Fiber has adopted and reasonably implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of subscribers and account holders who are repeat copyright infringers.

Ozark Fiber does not promote, encourage, or induce copyright infringement and provides Internet access for substantial lawful uses.

Ozark Fiber may, in its discretion and in appropriate circumstances, take action with respect to accounts associated with alleged copyright infringement, including issuing warnings, suspending service, or terminating accounts.

Ozark Fiber does not monitor its network for infringement and has no obligation to affirmatively seek facts indicating infringing activity.

REPORTING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT – REPEAT PEER-TO-PEER INFRINGERS

Copyright holders and/or their authorized agents who believe that subscribers of Ozark Fiber are using Ozark Fiber Internet access or other services to repeatedly infringe the exclusive rights of copyright holders via peer-to-peer communications or other means through which the allegedly infringing materials do not reside on, but rather traverse over, Ozark Fiber’s system or network may notify Ozark Fiber’s appointed Copyright Agent at:

Copyright Agent for Repeat P2P Infringers
Ozark Fiber Legal Department
3919 Hollow View Ct.
Wildwood, MO 63069
Phone: 314-297-0450
Email: dmca@ozarkfiber.com

Any such notification must be in writing and include:

  1. The name, address, telephone number and email address of the complainant;
  1. A statement that the complainant has a good faith belief that the alleged infringer is a repeat infringer, and that use of the materials in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owners, their agents, or the law;
  1. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owners of the exclusive rights that are allegedly infringed;
  1. Identification of the multiple copyrighted works claimed to have been infringed, along with date, time, IP address, MAC address, port and other session details for each alleged instance of infringement; and
  1. A detailed description of the factual and legal basis upon which the complainant alleges repeat infringement.

Designated Agent Requirement

Ozark Fiber will only be deemed to have received a valid notice of claimed infringement when such notice is submitted to its designated Copyright Agent at the contact information listed above and in substantial compliance with this Policy and applicable law.

No Obligation to Act on Misdirected Notices

Notices sent to any other address, email account, employee, or representative of Ozark Fiber, including executive or technical personnel, may not be processed and do not obligate Ozark Fiber to take any action.

Discretion to Respond

Ozark Fiber reserves the right, but not the obligation, to respond to or act upon notices received outside of these procedures.

Ozark Fiber evaluates notices of alleged infringement and may take action consistent with its repeat infringer policy. Receipt of a notice does not, by itself, require Ozark Fiber to take any particular action.

Ozark Fiber retains discretion in determining what constitutes appropriate circumstances for action, including termination, based on the totality of the information available.

Ozark Fiber reserves the right to determine, in its sole discretion, whether any notice or series of notices demonstrates repeat infringement or warrants action.

Ozark Fiber may disregard notices that are incomplete, inaccurate, or not submitted in substantial compliance with this Policy.

Please note that Ozark Fiber utilizes dynamic IP address assignment, so allegations tied to one IP address may not involve the same subscriber, and service of a notice does not guarantee availability of records to identify the alleged infringer.
