Copyright Infringement & Digital Millennium Copyright Act
Nexgen Broadband respects the intellectual property rights of others. The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA" found at 17 U.S.C. § 512) provides that owners of copyrighted works who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed may report alleged infringements to service providers like Nexgen Broadband. In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Nexgen Broadband maintains a policy that provides for the termination of IP Services, under appropriate circumstances, if Customers are found to be a repeat infringer and/or if Customers' IP Services are used repeatedly for infringement (the "Repeat Infringer Policy"). Nexgen Broadband may terminate IP Services at any time with or without notice to Customers.
Nexgen Broadband has no obligation to investigate possible copyright infringements with respect to materials transmitted by Customer or any other users of the IP Services. However, Nexgen Broadband will process valid notifications of claimed infringement under the DMCA, and continued receipt of infringement notifications for Customer's account will be used as a factor in determining whether Customer is a repeat infringer. In addition, Nexgen Broadband may voluntarily participate, on terms acceptable to Nexgen Broadband, in copyright alert and graduated response programs.

Nexgen Broadband also provides transitory digital network communications services, pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 512(a). In connection with such services, Nexgen Broadband provides an online form that copyright holders should use to send notifications related to alleged copyright infringement by its users based on the standards of the Automated Copyright Notice System (ANCS). Copyright holders should use this online form to submit complaints related to alleged peer-to-peer file sharing (i.e. sharing media files via peer-to-peer networking technology), or other forms of copyright notice other than those sent pursuant to Sections 512(b)–(d) of the DMCA ("ISP Conduit Notices"). By submitting complaints using this online form, we are able to more efficiently manage and process ISP Conduit Notices. Due to the substantial volume of copyright notices that Nexgen Broadband receives, we are unable to guarantee processing of ISP Conduit Notices that are sent by other means.
