Copyright Policy

Last Updated: 10/21/2025

This Copyright Policy explains how The Data Group, LLC ("BusinessRate," "we," "us," or "our") handles claims of copyright infringement on this site (the "Website" or "Site") and provides guidance on how to file a notice or counter-notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). By using or accessing the Site, you agree to comply with this Copyright Policy.

1. Reporting Claims of Copyright Infringement

We take claims of copyright infringement seriously. If you believe that any materials accessible on or from this Website infringe your copyright, you may request removal of those materials (or access to them) by submitting a written notice ("DMCA Notice") to our designated Copyright Agent at the address below. In accordance with the Online Copyright Infringement Liability Limitation Act of the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512), your DMCA Notice must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed, or a representative list of such works if multiple are involved.
  • Identification of the material believed to be infringing, in enough detail so we can locate it (e.g., a direct URL).
  • Adequate contact information by which we can reach you (name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email).
  • A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement that the information in your DMCA Notice is accurate.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you fail to comply with all the requirements of Section 512(c)(3) of the DMCA, your DMCA Notice may not be effective.

Note: If you knowingly misrepresent that material on the Website is infringing, you may be liable for damages (including attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

2. Counter-Notification Procedures

If you believe that material you posted on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification ("Counter-Notice") with us. Pursuant to the DMCA, your Counter-Notice must include substantially the following:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
  • Adequate contact information by which we can reach you (name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email).
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief the material was removed or disabled due to mistake or misidentification.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district where your address is located (or any judicial district where the Website may be found if you reside outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the DMCA Notice (or their agent).

Please send Counter-Notices to:

Under the DMCA, we may restore the removed content if the party filing the original DMCA Notice does not file a court action against you within ten (10) business days of receiving your Counter-Notice.

Note: If you knowingly misrepresent that material on the Website was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may be liable for damages (including attorneys' fees) under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

3. Repeat Infringers

It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances, to disable and/or terminate the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers. If we conclude that a user repeatedly posted infringing material, we may permanently ban them from using the Site or any related services.
