Copyright Infringement
Notice and Takedown Process
If you believe any materials accessible on or from the Lowes.com site (including the content of other users' posts and submissions) infringe your copyrights, you may request removal of those materials (or access thereto) by submitting a notification pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") to Lowe's designated Copyright Agent (identified below) which sets forth the following information:
Identification of the copyrighted work that you believe to be infringed. Please describe the work, and where possible include a copy or the location (e.g., URL) of an authorized version of the work.
Identification of the material that you believe to be infringing and its location on the Lowes.com site. Please describe the material, and provide us with its URL or any other pertinent information that will allow us to locate the material.
Your name, address, telephone number and (if available) e-mail address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the materials is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information that you have supplied is accurate, and indicating that "under penalty of perjury," you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner's behalf.
A signature or the electronic equivalent from the copyright holder or authorized representative.
The Copyright Agent designated by Lowe's to receive notifications of claimed infringement is: Lowe's IP Notices, c/o Moore & Van Allen PLLC, Suite 4700, 100 North Tryon Street, Charlotte, NC 28202-4003, email: lowesipnotices@mvalaw.com, fax: 704-409-5611. Only DMCA notices should go to the Copyright Agent; any other feedback, comments, requests for technical support, and other communications should be directed to Lowe's customer service (Please visit: Contact Us).
You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with all of the requirements of this Section, your DMCA notice may not be valid.
If content that you submitted to the Lowes.com site was removed (or access thereto is disabled) due to an allegation of copyright infringement, and you believe such content is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post such content, you may submit a DMCA Counter-Notification.
Reinstatement Process
If your user submission was removed (or access thereto is disabled), and you believe such submission is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the content in your user submission, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to Lowe's designated Copyright Agent:
Your physical or electronic signature;
-
Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
-
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content;
-
Your name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Lowe's is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification of infringement or an agent of such person.
If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Agent, Lowe's may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that it may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Lowe's sole discretion.
