Copyright and takedown notices

RemoteNurse respects the rights of authors and publishers. If something on the site copies your work without permission, this page explains how to tell us and what we do next.

What this covers

Most of RemoteNurse is written by us. A few places hold text that other people write: the headline and bio on a public learner profile, and the job posts that employers submit to the board. This policy is about that user-written content. If you believe it infringes your copyright, you can ask us to remove it.

Where to send a notice

Email hello@remotenurse.org with the subject “Copyright notice”. Send one notice per work if you can, and do not include patient information.

What a notice must contain

Under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), a notice has to include all six of these:

Your physical or electronic signature, or that of a person authorized to act for the copyright owner.
A description of the copyrighted work you say was infringed. If one notice covers several works, a list of them.
A description of the material you say infringes, and where it is on RemoteNurse, with the page address (URL), so we can find it.
Your name, postal address, telephone number and email address.
A statement that you believe in good faith that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner of the right or authorized to act for the owner.

A notice missing these may not be acted on. Knowingly misrepresenting that material infringes is itself actionable under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).

What we do with a notice

When a notice is complete, we remove or disable the material and tell the person who posted it. We may share the notice with them, including your contact details, so they can reply.

Counter-notice

If we removed your content and you believe that was a mistake, you can send a counter-notice to the same address. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3) it has to include:

Your physical or electronic signature.
A description of the material that was removed and where it was before removal.
A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you believe in good faith that the material was removed because of a mistake or misidentification.
Your name, postal address and telephone number, a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for that address (or, if you are outside the United States, of any court where RemoteNurse can be found), and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice.

We send the counter-notice to the person who complained. If they do not tell us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action, we may restore the material no sooner than 10 and no later than 14 business days after we receive your counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

We close the account of any learner or employer who is a repeat infringer. We count a person as a repeat infringer when more than one separate, valid notice has led us to remove their content and they have not successfully counter-noticed. We may close an account sooner for a single serious case.
