Notice and Procedure for Making Claims of Copyright Infringement

NVIDIA CORPORATION is committed to complying with U.S. copyright law and expects all who access our websites, including subscribers and members, to do the same.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA") provides recourse for owners of copyrighted material who believe that their rights under U.S. copyright law have been infringed on the internet. Under the DMCA, copyright owners may contact the authorized agent of an internet service provider to report alleged infringements of their protected works appearing on web pages hosted by the service provider. Upon receipt of a properly filed complaint satisfying the requirements of the DMCA, NVIDIA will remove or block access to the allegedly infringing material.

If a person believes in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed, such person may submit a counter-notice to NVIDIA. NVIDIA shall not be made a party to disputes over alleged copyright infringement.

If you believe that your copyrights have been infringed, or if a notice of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you should seek advice of legal counsel.

We are providing the following information to you for informational purposes only.

  • A statement that the complaining party has a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law; and

You should be aware that, under the DMCA, claimants who make misrepresentations concerning copyright infringement may be liable for damages incurred as a result of the removal or blocking of the wrongfully accused material, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.

Counter-Notification to Claimed Copyright Infringement

If a notice of copyright infringement has been filed against you, you may file a counter-notification with NVIDIA's designated agent at the address listed above. Such counter-notification must contain the following information:

  • A physical or electronic signature;
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled;
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification; and
  • Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the federal district in which you are located, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant.

If NVIDIA receives a valid counter-notification, the DMCA provides that the removed material will be restored or access re-enabled.

You should be aware that U.S. copyright law provides substantial penalties for a false counter-notice filed in response to a notice of copyright infringement.
