If you are a copyright owner, authorized to act on behalf of one, or authorized to act under any exclusive right under copyright, you may submit an Effective Notification of Claimed Infringement by providing the information listed below to Docusign’s Designated Copyright Agent. Upon receipt of an Effective Notification of Claimed Infringement, Docusign will remove or disable access to material on its Site that is claimed to be infringing. Docusign also will take reasonable steps promptly to notify the uploading user that the material has been removed or disabled at your request.
It is Docusign’s policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts or access of users who repeatedly infringe copyrights.
