Copyright Policy

Compass has adopted the general policy below toward copyright infringement. 

Your use of Compass' Services is at all times subject to the Terms of Service, which incorporates this Copyright Policy. 

Compass reserves the right to (1) block access or remove any material that we believe in good faith to be copyrighted material that has been illegally copied and distributed by any of our advertisers, affiliates, clients, content providers, members or users and (2) remove, block and/or discontinue service to repeat offenders.

• • Procedure for Reporting Copyright Infringements

    • If you believe that material or content residing on or accessible through the Services infringes your copyright (or the copyright of someone whom you are authorised to act on behalf of), please send a notice of copyright infringement containing the following information to the Copyright Officer (below):

      • A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;

      • Identification of works or materials being infringed;

      • Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing including information regarding the location of the infringing materials that the copyright owner seeks to have removed, with sufficient detail so that Compass is capable of finding and verifying its existence;

      • Contact information about the notifier including address, telephone number and, if available, email address;

      • A statement that the notifier has a good faith belief that the material identified in 1(c) is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and

      • A Statutory Declaration or statement made under penalty of perjury that the information provided is accurate and the notifying party is authorised to make the complaint on behalf of the copyright owner.

  • Once Proper Bona Fide Infringement Notification is Received by the Copyright Officer

    • Upon receipt of a proper notice of copyright infringement, we reserve the right to:

      • remove or disable access to the infringing material;

      • notify the content provider, client, member or user who is accused of infringement that we have removed or disabled access to the applicable material; and

      • terminate such content provider's, member's or user's access to the Services if he or she is a repeat offender.

  • Procedure to Supply a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent

    • If the content provider, member or user believes that the material that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or the content provider, member or user believes that it has the right to post and use such material from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or, pursuant to the law, the content provider, member, or user has the right to send us a counter-notice containing the following information to the Copyright Officer:

      • A physical or electronic signature of the content provider, member or user;

      • 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 disabled;

      • A statement that the content provider, member or user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material; and

      • Content provider's, address, telephone number, and, if available, email address, and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider's, member's or user's address is located, or, if the content provider's, member's or user's address is located outside Australia, for any judicial district in which Compass is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

If a counter-notice is received by the Copyright Officer, Compass may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that Compass may replace the removed material or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member or user accused of committing infringement, the removed material may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notice, at Compass' discretion.
