Copyright Complaints

If you believe that another user of the Website is unlawfully infringing copyrighted material(s), and wish to have the allegedly infringing material(s) removed, the following information in the form of a notification, pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), must be provided to PREIT’s designated DMCA Agent at Joshua.Talley@preit.com:

  • identification of the copyrighted work(s) claimed to have been infringed;
  • identification of the supposedly infringing material that is to be removed;
  • information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material on the Website;
  • your address, telephone number, or email address;
  • a statement that the you have a good faith belief that use of the material is in fact infringing and/or not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
  • a statement that, under penalty of perjury, the information in the notification is accurate and where relevant you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner; and
  • your physical or electronic signature.

A provider of content subject to a claim of infringement may make a counter notification. To file a counter notification with us, please provide the DMCA Agent a written communication containing the following:

  • identification of the supposedly infringing material that is to be removed;
  • a statement that, under penalty of perjury, you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled;
  • your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your postal address is located, and that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the infringement notification or his, her, or its principal or agent; and
  • the signature, physical or electronic, of you or a person authorized to act on your behalf.

We will promptly provide the party that provided the notice of claimed infringement with a copy of the counter notification, and inform the complaining party that we restore the removed or disabled content within ten (10) business days. If we do not receive notice that a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of the counter-notification, we will restore the removed or disabled materials. Until that time, the materials will remain removed or disabled.

Notice of alleged infringement must be sent by electronic mail to our DMCA Agent or by certified mail and marked “Copyright Infringement” Attention: DMCA Agent at the address set forth at the end of these Terms.

Before filing such a notification, make a careful determination as to whether or not the use of the material at issue is or may be protected by the “fair use” doctrine. You could potentially be held liable for costs and attorneys’ fees should you file a takedown notice where there is no infringing use. If you are unsure whether there is infringement, it may be advisable to seek legal counsel.
