Carl Chapman (“I,” “me,” or “my”) owns and operates the website at carlchapmanrealtor.com (the “Site”). Apart from the MLS-sourced listing content described in Section 4, the content on the Site is my own original work. I respect the intellectual property rights of others, and this policy outlines my procedures for responding to claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
- Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content appearing on my Site infringes your copyright, you may submit a written notice to my designated DMCA agent. To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following:
A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list is acceptable.
A description of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail for me to locate it on my Site (for example, a specific URL or page title).
Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.
- Where to Send Your Notice
Please submit DMCA takedown notices to my designated agent:
Carl Chapman — DMCA Agent
2355 W Utopia Rd, Suite 100
Phoenix, AZ 85027
Phone: (602) 617-4440
Email: chapman@westusa.com
I strongly recommend sending notices by email for the fastest response. Notices that do not comply with all requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3) may not receive a response.
- My Response to Valid Notices
I am the sole operator of the Site. There are no user accounts and no user-posted content, so every notice comes directly to me and is reviewed by me personally. Upon receiving a complete and valid DMCA notice, I will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content.
- Real Estate Listing Content and MLS Data
Property listings, photographs, descriptions, and related data displayed on my Site may be sourced from the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) or contributed by licensed agents and third-party vendors through that feed. If you believe any listing content infringes your copyright, please follow the notice procedure in Section 1 and clearly identify the specific listing or image in question.
I do not claim ownership of MLS-sourced data. All MLS content is used pursuant to my membership agreement with ARMLS and applicable MLS rules.
- Misrepresentation
Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
- Changes to This Policy
I may update this DMCA Policy from time to time. When I do, I will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. Continued use of the Site following any update constitutes your acceptance of the revised policy. For questions about this policy, contact me at chapman@westusa.com or visit https://carlchapmanrealtor.com/contact-us/.
