5. Counter-Notification Procedures (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3))
If material that you posted or contributed has been removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA takedown notice, and you believe this was due to mistake or misidentification, you may submit a formal Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent.
To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), a Counter-Notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed;
- 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;
- Your legal name, physical 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 address is located (or if outside the United States, any judicial district in which the service provider may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notification, we will provide the complaining party with a copy. Unless the copyright owner files a court action seeking a restraining order against the content provider within 10 to 14 business days, we may restore the removed material pursuant to federal law.
6. Repeat Infringer Policy (17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A))
Pregnancy Calculator maintains an unequivocal policy regarding repeated intellectual property violations. In appropriate circumstances, we will terminate access, block submissions, and disable user or contributor privileges for any individual or entity deemed to be a repeat infringer of intellectual property rights.
7. Misrepresentation Warning (17 U.S.C. § 512(f))
Legal Consequences for False Claims
Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for statutory and actual damages, including court costs and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer, copyright owner, or Pregnancy Calculator.
8. Original Content & Public Obstetrical Algorithms
Pregnancy Calculator produces proprietary software calculators, user interfaces, editorial summaries, and visual progress charts. However, please note that standard clinical algorithms—such as Naegele's Rule (LMP + 280 days), Mittendorf-Williams regression models, and ACOG gestational age guidelines—are foundational mathematical formulas and public scientific methodologies.
Our calculators implement these formulas independently through original TypeScript algorithms. If you have questions regarding our mathematical models or sources, please review our Calculation Methodology and Medical Sources.
