DMCA Copyright Policy

Our policy

Tryphe respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512.

Some of the property listings displayed on this site are provided to us through licensed data feeds from multiple listing services, and include photographs and other material submitted by third parties. If you believe material displayed on this site infringes a copyright you own or control, you may send a notification to our designated agent using the procedure below. If a notification is effective, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material and will take reasonable steps to notify the party that supplied it.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, if you knowingly make a material misrepresentation that material is infringing or that it was removed or disabled by mistake.

Designated agent

Send notifications of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

This address is for copyright notices only. Enquiries sent here about anything else will not receive a response.

How to submit a notification of claimed infringement

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notification must include substantially all of the following. A notification missing any of these elements may not be actionable, so please include each one:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or of a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at this site are covered by a single notification — a representative list of those works.
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it, such as the full URL of the page on which it appears.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, including your name, postal address, telephone number and, if available, an email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Counter-notification

If you believe material of yours was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3) containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
3. 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. Your name, postal 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 your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found — and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.

If we receive an effective counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original notification and inform them that we may restore the removed material in ten to fourteen business days, unless we first receive notice that they have sought a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

Repeat infringers

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts and access of users and data contributors who are repeat infringers. We record effective notifications we receive, and where a party is the subject of repeated effective notifications we may suspend or terminate their access to this site and, where the material reached us through a licensed data feed, refer the matter to the provider of that feed. We also reserve the right to remove material and terminate access in other circumstances where we believe, in good faith, that infringement has occurred.

Material supplied by a multiple listing service

Where a notification concerns material we received through a licensed multiple listing service data feed, we are required to forward a complete copy of the notification to the licensing association within twenty-four hours of receiving it, in addition to acting on the notification ourselves.
