Copyright Policy

How to tell Sporting Blue Valley that something on the SBV Suite (sbvsuite.com, its club pages and the SBV app) uses your work without permission, under the US Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA). Last changed November 3, 2026.

What people add to the Suite

Most of what's on the Suite is the club's own. People can also add their own pictures and files:

  • Families: a photo with a review of an SBV Shop item, which shows on the shop only after the club says OK; a photo with Problem with my order, which goes only to the club; a photo for their team's brochure.
  • Coaches and team admins: pictures and files in their tools, like a private training coach's pictures, a team's photos in its brochure, its payment code in its Season Guide, and other teams' crests in matchday notes.
  • The club's staff: photos and files in the staff chat and on session plans, and pictures, logos and files on the club's pages and emails.

Whoever adds a picture or file must own it or have permission to use it.

What your notice needs

Send your notice to the club's copyright agent, by email or by post. It needs all of these:

  • The work you say is copied: what it is, or a list if there are several.
  • What you say copies it, and where it is on the Suite: the page's web address and what on the page, so the club can find it.
  • Your name, mailing address, phone and email.
  • This statement: I believe in good faith that this use of the material isn't allowed by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  • This statement: The information in this notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, I am the copyright owner or allowed to act for the owner.
  • Your signature, typed or written, as the owner or the person acting for them.

A notice missing one of these may not count. Saying something copies your work when you know it doesn't can make you pay for the harm it causes.

What the club does

  • Takes the material down, or stops it showing, promptly.
  • Tells the person who added it, when the club knows who they are, and sends them a copy of the notice.

If yours was taken down

If you believe it was taken down by mistake, or wasn't what the notice meant, send a counter-notice to the club's copyright agent. It needs all of these:

  • What was taken down, and where it was on the Suite before.
  • This statement: Under penalty of perjury, I believe in good faith that the material was taken down by mistake or because it was misidentified.
  • Your name, mailing address and phone.
  • This statement: I agree to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for my address (or, if my address is outside the United States, any district where the club may be found), and I will accept service of process from the person who sent the notice, or their agent.
  • Your signature, typed or written.

The club sends a copy to whoever sent the notice. Unless they tell the club's copyright agent within 10 business days that they've gone to court, the club puts the material back between 10 and 14 business days after it gets your counter-notice.

Repeat infringers

When someone keeps adding other people's work without permission, the club switches off their sign-in, takes down what they've added and stops taking their reviews and photos.
