Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. 512), Sandhills Group Companies have implemented procedures for receiving written notification of claimed infringements.

Specifically, the notice must contain the following information:
The copyright infringement notification must be signed, either physically or electronically, by the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed, or by a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Upon receipt of alleged infringement notice, Sandhills reserves the right to review the allegedly infringing material and take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including responding expeditiously to remove the challenged content from the Site.
Please note that any notice or counter notice must be truthful. A false notice or counter-notice may give rise to personal liability. You may therefore want to seek the advice of legal counsel before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
If you believe in good faith that the material you posted to Sandhills’ site was not infringing and that a notice of copyright infringement has been improperly submitted against you, you can submit a counter-notice, pursuant to Sections 512(g)(2) and (3) of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. The counter-notice must include the following:
The counter-notice must be signed, either physically or electronically.

After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original copyright infringement notification. Please note that when we forward your counter-notice, it will include your personal information. If you are concerned about protecting your anonymity, please consult with an attorney about other options.
Following a receipt of a compliant counter-notice, Sandhills may restore access to the material including reinstating the challenged content, no less than ten and no more than fourteen business days, unless the original notice sender informs Sandhills that it has filed a court action against the user.
