DMCA Copyright Policy
Last updated: 2026-04-17 · Effective: 2026-04-17
Lok-N-Blok Systems LLC respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (17 U.S.C. § 512), we respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our service.
1. Filing a DMCA takedown notice
If you are the copyright owner (or authorized agent) and believe material accessible on blokusa.com infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent that includes all of the following:
- A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or — if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification — a representative list of such works.
- Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate it (e.g., the full URL on blokusa.com).
- Your contact information: name, mailing address, telephone number, and email.
- A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
2. Designated DMCA Agent
DMCA Agent for Lok-N-Blok Systems LLC
Name: Lok-N-Blok Legal Department, c/o Kevin Flanagan
Email: info@blokusa.com (subject line: "DMCA Notice")
Phone: 504-913-3606
Mailing address: Available on request — email the Designated Agent and we will reply with a physical address for certified mail within 2 business days.
This agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). Misrepresentations in a takedown notice may subject you to liability for damages under § 512(f).
Before you file: DMCA notices are legal documents. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation may subject you to damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f). If you are unsure, consult an attorney.
3. Counter-notification
If content you posted was removed pursuant to a DMCA notice and you believe it was removed in error (for example, because your use is protected by fair use or because the claimant does not hold the copyright), you may file a counter-notification with our Designated Agent. A valid counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that was removed and the location on blokusa.com where it appeared before removal.
- A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification.
4. Repeat infringer policy
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A), we maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat copyright infringers. We determine "repeat infringer" at our sole discretion based on the totality of the circumstances, but generally an account with three or more substantiated DMCA takedown notices within a rolling 12-month period will be terminated.
5. Trademark + patent complaints
The DMCA governs copyright only. For trademark complaints or patent matters, see our Trademark + Patent Notice. Both should also be addressed to info@blokusa.com with the appropriate subject-line prefix.
6. Fair use + safe harbor
Nothing in this policy waives any defense you may have to an infringement claim, including fair use, or any protection that we rely on as a service provider under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c).
7. Fraudulent notices
We take submission of fraudulent DMCA notices seriously. We log every notice we receive (sender identity, timestamp, content) and may share logs with the target of a fraudulent notice so they can seek § 512(f) remedies.
