Statement of Rights and Responsibilities

Welcome to Seyopa. This Statement of Rights and Responsibilities (“Statement,” “Terms,” or “SRR”) is our terms of service that governs our relationship with users and others who interact with (“Seyopa”) at Seyopa.com. By using or accessing Seyopa, you agree to this Statement, as updated from time to time as the need arises.

By using this site, you signify your assent to these Terms and Conditions. If you do not agree to all of these Terms and Conditions of use, please do not use this site or any Seyopa associated applications.

Seyopa may revise and update these Terms and Conditions at any time. Your continued usage of Seyopa website and any Seyopa associated applications will mean you accept those changes. This policy was last updated November 25, 2015.

Privacy

Your privacy is very important to us. We designed our Privacy Policy to make important disclosures about how you can use Seyopa to share with others and how we collect and can use your content and information. We encourage you to read the Privacy Policy, and to use it to help you make informed decisions. You can find a copy of our Privacy Policy here: https://seyopa.com/privacy-policy/.

User’s Terms of Use

1. General Compliance with Laws

All users shall comply with all applicable laws, statutes, ordinances, and regulations regarding use of the website and shall not perform, encourage or elicit any unlawful behavior when on Seyopa.

2. Sharing Your Content and Information

You own all of the content and information you post on Seyopa, and you can control how it is shared through your privacy settings. In addition:

    • For content that is covered by intellectual property rights, like photos and videos (IP content), you specifically give us the following permission, subject to your privacy and settings: you grant us a non-exclusive, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, worldwide license to use any IP content that you post on or in connection with Seyopa (IP License). This IP License ends when you delete your IP content or your account.
    • When you delete IP content, it is deleted in a manner similar to emptying the recycle bin on a computer. However, you understand that removed content may persist in backup copies for a reasonable period of time (but will not be available to others unless required by law).
    • When you use an application to login to Seyopa, the application may ask for your permission to access your content and information as well as content and information that others have shared with you.  We require applications to respect your privacy, and your agreement with that application will control how the application can use, store, and transfer that content and information. If you opt in to importing your phone address book for the purpose of inviting contacts (which will be explicitly specified), we hold the right to invite those people to Seyopa. We will NOT do this merely if you login/register through Facebook/Twitter.
    • When you publish content or information using the Public setting, it means that you are allowing everyone, including people off of Seyopa, to access and use that information, and to associate it with you (i.e., your username and profile picture). We may use your publicly available information for specific marketing purposes, but we will not ever include your true name or email address.
    • We always appreciate your feedback or other suggestions about Seyopa, but you understand that we may use them without any obligation to compensate you for them (just as you have no obligation to offer them).

Seyopa is committed to protecting the intellectual property of third parties.

    • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
    • Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works at that site.
    • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to locate the material. Providing URLs in the body of an email is the best way to help us locate content quickly.
    • Information reasonably sufficient to permit the service provider to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
    • 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.
    • A statement that the information in the notification 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.

Please note that under Section 512(f) any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages. PLEASE do not make false claims! Please also note that the information provided in this legal notice may be forwarded to the person who provided the allegedly infringing content.

Finally, be aware that claimant information may be published on the Seyopa site in place of disabled content.

8. Copyright Counter Notifications

To file a counter-notification with us, you must provide a written communication that sets forth the items specified below.

Please understand that filing a counter-notification may lead to legal proceedings between you and the complaining party to determine ownership. Be aware that there may be adverse legal consequences in your country if you make a false or bad faith allegation by using this process. Please also be advised that we enforce a policy that provides for the termination in appropriate circumstances of members who are repeat infringers. So, if you are not sure whether certain material infringes the copyrights of others, we suggest that you first contact a lawyer.

A counter-notification must include the following specific elements:

    • Your full name, address, telephone number, and email address, and the username of your Seyopa account.

    • The statement: “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
    • Signature. A scanned physical signature or a valid electronic signature will be accepted.

We can only accept a counter-notification directly from the user from whose account a video has been disabled. For verification, we require that counter-notifications be submitted from the email address associated with the account.

Our preferred method of counter-notification submission is via email to . After we receive your counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original claim of copyright infringement.

We will not forward the counter-notification to any party other than the original claimant.
