Claims of Copyright Infringement

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the "DMCA") provides recourse for copyright owners who believe that material appearing on the Internet infringes their rights under U.S. copyright law. If you have a good faith belief that materials hosted by us infringe your copyright, you (or your agent) may send us a notice requesting that the material be removed, or access to it blocked. The notice must include the following information: (a) a physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly being infringed upon; (b) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed upon (or if multiple copyrighted works located on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works); (c) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate the material on the Site; (d) the name, address, telephone number, and e-mail address (if available) of the complaining party; (e) 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 the law; and (f) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed. If you believe in good faith that a notice of copyright infringement has been wrongly filed against you, the DMCA permits you to send us a counter-notice. Notices and counter-notices must meet the then-current statutory requirements imposed by the DMCA; see http://www.loc.gov/copyright/ for details. Notices and counter-notices with respect to the Site should be sent to BioSpace, Inc., 10506 Justin Drive, Urbandale, IA 50323, (tel) 877-277-7585, Attention: General Counsel. We suggest that you consult your legal advisor before filing a notice or counter-notice. Also, be aware that there can be penalties for false claims under the DMCA.

In any action to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable.

  4. You can cancel your subscription service at any time, but you must provide notice according to the time frame stated in your contract with BioSpace, in writing, to cancel your subscription and you authorize us to charge your final subscription fees on your normal billing cycle.  Written notice to cancel must be sent to support@biospace.com and/or your BioSpace account representative.
    1. If you purchased your monthly subscription via the BioSpace webstore, you must provide one month’s notice to cancel your subscription. You authorize us to charge you once more in accordance with your regular billing schedule after providing notice, unless you provide notice to cancel on a day that a subscription payment has processed, in which case you will have access to services through the end of your monthly term and will not be subject to additional billings. 
  5. Upon cancellation, you will continue to have access to services through the end of your monthly billing cycle. We do not provide refunds or credits for any partial-service periods that you do not use the service. 
  6. We will review your account regularly to evaluate service usage and we may change your service plan and price based on your needs and current rate plans.  However, we will provide 30 days advanced notice prior to any service plan or price changes going into effect. 
  7. You may incur an initial setup fee to begin your subscription service, or to reinstate your subscription service after a period of inactivity. This fee is non-refundable.
