Deru Internet is committed to complying with U.S. copyright law and expects our users to comply as well.  The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") provides recourse for owners of copyrighted material who believe that their rights under U.S. Copyright law have been infringed via the Internet.  

Upon notification to Deru Internet of a claimed copyright infringement as described below, Deru Internet will respond expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity pursuant to the following terms and conditions:

Designated Agents

The Deru Internet designated agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement is: Darin Wayrynen, ATTENTION: DMCA Notice, 3443 N Central, Suite 1705, Phoenix, AZ, 85012, or via email to darin@deru.net, with subject of ATTENTION: DMCA Notice

Notification of Claimed Copyright Infringement

If you believe that a user of Deru Internet services is violating your rights under U.S. copyright law, you may file a complaint of such claimed infringement with Deru Internet's designated agent in the manner described below.

For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information when providing notice of the claimed copyright infringement:

• A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed; and
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or a list of multiple copyrighted works claimed to have been infringed; and
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Deru Internet to contact the complaining party, including name, address, telephone number and electronic mail address.
• A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that 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.

(For more details on the information required for valid notification, see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3).)

You should be aware that, under the DCMA, claimants who make misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement may be liable for damages incurred as a result of the removal or blocking of the material, court costs, and attorneys fees.

Counternotification to Claimed Copyright Infringement

If a user of the Deru Internet Service believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed, such person may submit a counternotice to Deru Internet's Designated Agent. Deru Internet will not be a party to disputes over alleged copyright infringement.

If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you may file a counternotification with Deru Internet's designated agent at the address listed above. Such counternotification must contain the following information:

• 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 or access to it was disabled
• A statement under penalty of perjury that the Member has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the federal district in which you are located, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant

If Deru Internet receives a valid counternotification, the DMCA provides that the removed material will be restored, or access re-enabled.

Please be advised that U.S. copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counternotice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement.
