Copyright & takedown.

LKN Life LLC operates lknlife.co and the LKN Life lake app. Notices of claimed copyright infringement should go to our designated Copyright Agent:

• ·By email: hello@lknlife.co — this is the fastest route, and the one we watch.
• ·By mail: LKN Life LLC, Attn: Copyright Agent, 125 Trade Court, Suite F PMB 1013, Mooresville, NC 28117
• ·By phone: (704) 402-7104

This agent is registered with the United States Copyright Office under registration number DMCA-1077373. You don’t have to take our word for any of it — the Office publishes the same details in its DMCA Designated Agent Directory, where LKN Life LLC can be looked up directly.

This address is for copyright notices only. Questions about a listing, a correction to a business, a photo you want taken down for a reason other than copyright, or anything else about the site will be handled faster at our ordinary contact address — the same inbox, but say what you need and we will route it.

You do not need a lawyer and you do not need to use any particular form of words. But the law (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3)) asks a notice to contain six things, and a notice missing them may not count as proper notice — so please include:

• ·Your signature. Physical or electronic, from you or someone authorised to act for you.
• ·The work. Identify the copyrighted work you say was infringed. If several works are covered by one notice, a representative list is fine.
• ·Where it is on our service. A link to the page, and enough detail for us to find the specific photo or text — “somewhere on your site” is not enough for us to act on.
• ·How to reach you. Address, telephone number, and email address.
• ·A statement of good faith. That you believe in good faith the use is not authorised by you, your agent, or the law.
• ·A statement of accuracy. That the information in the notice is accurate, and — under penalty of perjury — that you are the owner or are authorised to act for the owner.

We review the notice and, where it is properly made, remove or disable access to the material promptly. We tell the person who posted it what was removed and why, and we pass along your notice so they can respond if they believe you are mistaken. We do not charge anyone for any of this, and we do not require a court order to act.

If a notice is incomplete we will usually come back to you and say what is missing rather than simply ignoring it.

You can send a counter-notification to the same agent above. Under 17 U.S.C. §512(g) it needs your signature; identification of the material and the location it appeared before removal; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification; and your name, address and telephone number, together with your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if you are outside the United States, for any district in which we may be found) and your agreement to accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

If we receive a valid counter-notification we forward it to the person who complained. Unless they tell us within ten business days that they have gone to court to restrain the activity, we may restore the material.

We remove content from anyone who repeatedly submits work that isn’t theirs, and we close their account. This is the same policy stated in our Terms — it is not a threat we reserve for bad weeks; it is what we actually do.

Under 17 U.S.C. §512(f), anyone who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — can be liable for damages, including costs and legal fees. We mention this not to discourage anyone with a genuine complaint, which we want to hear, but because a takedown removes someone else’s work from public view and that deserves care on both sides.

Most photography on the site is our own or was harvested from a business’s own website to illustrate that business’s listing; we do not generate photographs of real places. People who add photos to a spot in the lake app agree, in our Terms, that the work is theirs and was taken by them, at the place. That agreement is not a substitute for this process — if something of yours has ended up here, tell us and we will deal with it.
