DMCA and Trademark Policy

About this policy: This DMCA and Trademark Policy is provided by A+ Hosting Inc., a Nevada corporation, and applies to all services purchased through any of our three brand websites: APlusHosting.com, ServerPoint.com, and ColossusCloud.com. The terms below apply identically regardless of which brand website you signed up through. References to "we", "us", or "our" in this document mean A+ Hosting Inc.

A+ Hosting Inc. respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our customers to do the same. This policy explains how we handle complaints under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and complaints alleging trademark infringement.

By submitting a copyright or trademark complaint to A+ Hosting Inc., you acknowledge and agree that we may share your complaint, including any personal information contained in it, with the customer who is the subject of the complaint. You attest that you are authorized to provide and disclose any personal information contained in the complaint, and that such authorization extends to A+ Hosting Inc.'s processing, retention, and disclosure of that information as we determine necessary to address the complaint.

1. DMCA Takedown Notices

If you believe content hosted on our infrastructure infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA Takedown Notice in accordance with this policy. Notices must be sent in writing to our designated DMCA agent registered with the U.S. Copyright Office:

To be effective, a DMCA Takedown Notice must include all of the following:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work. Identification of the work claimed to be infringed, or, where multiple works at a single online site are covered, a representative list of those works.
2. Location of the infringing material. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, including the specific URL or URLs for each infringing instance, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
3. Contact information. Name, address, telephone number, and email address of the complaining party.
4. Good faith statement. A statement that the complaining party has 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.
5. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
6. Signature. A physical or electronic signature of the complaining party or its authorized agent.

Notices that do not contain all of the required information may be deemed ineffective, and we may decline to act on them until properly completed and resubmitted.

What we will do upon a valid DMCA Takedown Notice

Upon receipt of a DMCA-compliant notice for content hosted on our infrastructure:

1. We will forward a copy of the notice to the affected customer.
2. We will temporarily remove or disable access to the disputed content.
3. We will give the customer an opportunity to submit a Counter-Notice in accordance with this policy.

2. Registrar-only matters

Where A+ Hosting Inc. acts only as the registrar for a domain and does not provide hosting services for the disputed content, we do not have the technical ability to act on a DMCA notice for that content. The notice should be directed to the hosting provider for the website in question.

3. Counter-notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a DMCA Counter-Notice. The Counter-Notice is a legal document and must comply with the requirements of the DMCA. It must include all of the following:

1. Contact information. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
2. Identification of the material. Identification of the material that was removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
3. Statement under penalty of perjury. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Consent to jurisdiction. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which A+ Hosting Inc. may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the complaining party or its agent.
5. Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.

Counter-Notices should be sent to the DMCA Designated Agent at the address in Section 1.

Waiver and indemnification

By submitting a Counter-Notice to A+ Hosting Inc., you waive any legal or equitable rights or remedies you may have against A+ Hosting Inc. with respect to the Counter-Notice, the disputed content and its publication, or A+ Hosting Inc.'s actions in implementing a takedown or reinstating the content. You agree to indemnify and hold A+ Hosting Inc. and its affiliates harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, in connection with the Counter-Notice and any claims arising from it.

What we will do upon a valid Counter-Notice

1. We will forward a copy of the Counter-Notice to the complaining party.
2. We will advise the complaining party that the disputed content will be reinstated within not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days from the date of the Counter-Notice, unless we receive notice that the complaining party has filed a court action seeking to restrain the customer from publishing the disputed content.
3. If we do not receive such notice from the complaining party within that period, we will replace the material or cease disabling access to it within the ten-to-fourteen business day window described above.

4. Repeat infringers

A+ Hosting Inc. reserves the right to terminate, in accordance with our Terms of Service and in our sole and absolute discretion, the accounts of customers we determine to be repeat infringers of copyright or other intellectual property rights.

5. Trademark complaints

Trademark complaints are outside the scope of a DMCA Takedown Notice and the DMCA safe harbor does not apply to trademark claims. We respond to trademark notices as a courtesy and entirely in our sole and absolute discretion.

Domain names

If you believe a domain name and its use violate your trademark, the matter may be pursued (a) in a U.S. court of law, or (b) under the Uniform Domain-Name Dispute-Resolution Policy ("UDRP"), or, where available, the Uniform Rapid Suspension System ("URS"). As an ICANN-accredited registrar, A+ Hosting Inc. and our customers are bound by the UDRP. Without a court order or a UDRP or URS ruling, we cannot take further action with respect to a disputed domain name.

Hosted content

If you believe trademark infringement is occurring in content hosted on our servers, you may submit a written trademark notice that includes all of the following:

1. Details of the trademark or service mark claimed to be infringed, including the registration number, the registry where it is registered, and the goods or services covered by the mark.
2. The name, address, telephone number, and email address of the trademark owner, and proof of your authority to act on behalf of the owner.
3. A description of how you believe the mark is being infringed, including the precise location of the infringing material on our servers.
4. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the mark is unauthorized by the trademark owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Trademark notices should be sent to the address in Section 1. By submitting a trademark notice, you acknowledge that we may forward your notice to the affected customer.

6. Modifications

A+ Hosting Inc. reserves the right to modify this policy at any time in its sole and absolute discretion. Modifications take effect immediately upon posting to this website.
