DMCA & Copyright Policy

Last updated: June 2026

TODO — Template notice: This policy is a starting template only. It has not been reviewed by an attorney and must be examined and approved by a licensed attorney admitted in the State of Florida before this page is published. You must designate a DMCA agent and register that agent with the U.S. Copyright Office to claim safe-harbor protection; replace all placeholders marked TODO with verified information.

1. Overview

It is the policy of Island Realtors, Inc. (“Island Realtors,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) to respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512. This page explains how to submit a takedown notice, what a valid notice must contain, and how to file a counter-notification if you believe content was removed in error.

Much of the listing content, photographs, and property data on this site is supplied by third parties, including MLS/IDX feeds, as described in our Website Disclaimer. If your complaint concerns third-party listing content, you may also need to contact the originating brokerage or MLS.

2. Notice of alleged infringement (takedown notice)

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material on this site infringes your copyright, you may send a written notice to our Designated Agent (see Section 4). To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following:

A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works).
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it — ideally the specific URL(s) on this site.
Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have 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 notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

Please note: under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees. If you are unsure whether material infringes your copyright, you should consult an attorney before submitting a notice.

3. Our response

Upon receiving a notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing, and, where appropriate, we will notify the person who provided the material. We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate access for users who are repeat infringers.

4. Designated Copyright Agent

Notices of claimed infringement should be sent to our Designated Agent:

Designated Agent: TODO — insert the name or title of the DMCA agent
Company: Island Realtors, Inc.
Mailing address: TODO — insert full street address, Ocoee, FL [ZIP]
Phone: (833) 436-8612
Email: maharrison@aservantofgod.net

TODO: register this Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office through its online DMCA Designated Agent Directory and keep the registration current; safe-harbor protection under § 512 depends on a valid registration.

5. Counter-notification

If you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include substantially all of the following:

Your physical or electronic signature.
Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief 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 U.S. District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if 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 notice or that person’s agent.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the original complaining party. If that party does not notify us within ten (10) business days that it has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material, generally between ten (10) and fourteen (14) business days after receiving the counter-notification.
