Copyright & DMCA Policy

Blue Collar Pro LLC ("Blue Collar Pro") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of our platform to do the same. Users can upload content — such as project photos, documents, and profile materials — and we respond to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, the "DMCA").

Designated Copyright Agent

Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory (Registration No. DMCA-1075931). Notices of claimed infringement should be sent to:

Anthony Hicks
Copyright Agent, Blue Collar Pro LLC
219 High St, Ste 201, Hamilton, OH 45011
Email: developer@thebluecollarpro.com (subject line "DMCA Notice")

Filing a takedown notice

To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must be in writing and include substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it (for example, the URL of the page or file).
4. Your contact information: name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), you may be liable for damages if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing.

What we do when we receive a valid notice

We will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, make a reasonable effort to notify the user who posted it, and provide that user with a copy of the notice.

Counter-notices

If your content was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice that includes: (1) your physical or electronic signature; (2) identification of the removed material and its prior location; (3) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and (4) your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which Blue Collar Pro may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice. Unless the original complainant files a court action, removed material may be restored in 10–14 business days after we receive a valid counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We will terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
