ReversePhoneDetective.com retains the copyright on all text and graphics used or shown on this site. ReversePhoneDetective.com also retains the rights to any of our trademarks used or shown on this site. The fore mentioned hereby collectively known as “Copyrighted Material”.

Reproducing copyrighted work or trademarks without the owner’s permission is known as infringement, and it leaves you vulnerable to lawsuits from the copyright or trademark owner.

Use by individuals, companies, non-profit organizations or any other entity for commercial purpose

Any use other than “Use by Individuals for personal non-commercial purposes” as described above (for example, but not limited to, use as part of another Web site, an article, book or pamphlet) is strictly prohibited. You must first obtain a license and/or written authorization to use or reprint any Copyrighted Material from the ReversePhoneDetective.com Web site. No-exceptions.

You cannot use our graphics, text, templates, images, or any graphical element of our Web site (all part of our Copyrighted Material)

What to expect if you infringe on our Copyrighted Material

ReversePhoneDetective.com will report you to every applicable company you’re associated with to have your accounts closed and Web sites blocked including, but not limited to, billing and credit card service providers, Web hosting companies, upstream ISPs, search engines (including, but not limited to, Google, Yahoo, MSN), advertisers and anyone else we can identify. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA) established Section 512 of Title 17 of the United States Code (“Copyright Law of the United States of America”). Specifically, Title II of the DMCA establishes Section 512(h), a procedure by which ReversePhoneDetective.com can obtain a subpoena from a federal court ordering a service provider to disclose the identity of a subscriber who is allegedly engaging in infringing activities (without the service provider having to worry about liability). In addition to disclosing who you are, Section 512(d) allows a federal court to order your service provider to “expeditiously take down or block access” to the infringing material; and Section 512(f) states that if you misrepresent that your material or activity is infringing or removed, your service provider is not liable and you can be liable for damages to your service provider including attorney’s fees and cost.

Be aware that copying or creating derivative work of ReversePhoneDetective.com’s registered Copyrighted Material entitles ReversePhoneDetective.com to collect statutory damages and attorney’s fees under sections 412 and 504(c)(1) of Title 17 of the United States Code. Also, if it can be demonstrated to a judge that the infringement was “willful” under section 504(c)(2), the amount of statutory damages increases substantially.
