Copyright and Takedown Policy

1. Respect for rights

VIEWMIUM respects copyright and other rights. Contributors must have authority to provide medical media, descriptions, annotations and related material. If you believe content infringes copyright or another right, use the applicable procedure below. Do not submit a claim you know is materially false.

2. U.S. DMCA notice

A written United States DMCA notice submitted through the legal or support route linked from this site should include the items below.

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a representative list for multiple works at one online site.
• Identification of the material to be removed or disabled and information reasonably sufficient to locate it, including the exact VIEWMIUM URL, case or profile identifier.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent or the law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

3. Counter-notice

VIEWMIUM may forward a complete counter-notice to the claimant and may restore material after the statutory period unless the claimant reports a qualifying court action. Restoration does not prevent a separate editorial, privacy, safety or contract-based restriction.

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material removed or disabled and its former location.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address and telephone number, consent to the jurisdiction of the applicable United States federal district court, and acceptance of service from the original notifier or agent.

4. Repeat infringers

VIEWMIUM will maintain and reasonably implement a repeat-infringer policy in appropriate circumstances. Review considers valid notices, counter-notices, adjudications, obvious abuse and related accounts. Termination under this policy does not require VIEWMIUM to adjudicate ownership disputes.

5. Other rights and safety complaints

Privacy or patient-identification complaints, trademark or impersonation reports, defamation or unlawful-content reports, and clinical-accuracy or safety reports follow their appropriate privacy, verification, moderation or editorial route. Medical safety or patient privacy may require immediate restriction independent of a DMCA analysis.

6. Regional notice-and-action procedures

Where applicable in the EEA, VIEWMIUM provides a notice mechanism for sufficiently precise and substantiated notices, acknowledges receipt, reviews notices diligently and communicates the decision and available redress options. Not every legal complaint is a United States DMCA notice.

7. Records and misuse

VIEWMIUM may request clarification, preserve notices and decisions, and share a notice or counter-notice with affected parties or authorities as legally appropriate. Knowingly material misrepresentations may create liability. Personal information in claims should be limited to what the process requires.
