DMCA Policy

Effective Date: October 16, 2025 • Last Updated: October 16, 2025

HVAC Technical Academy (“HVACTA,” “we,” “our”) respects intellectual property rights and responds to claims consistent with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. §512, “DMCA”).

1) Scope

  • This policy applies to content that HVACTA publishes on its own website (e.g., program pages, images, videos, and testimonials we select and post).
  • We do not offer public user uploads on HVACTA’s website.
  • For content on Certifications & Safety (an entity within our organization that operates its own site, terms, and privacy) or other affiliated sites, please use that site’s DMCA instructions. If you’re unsure, you may send your notice to our Agent below and we will route it when appropriate.

2) Designated Copyright Agent

HVAC Technical Academy – DMCA Agent

Attn: Copyright Agent
2175 Marquette Avenue
Sanford, Florida 32773
Email: info@hvacta.com

Note: Email is preferred. Do not send legal notices to other addresses.

3) How to Send a Valid DMCA Notice (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))

Your written notice must include:

  1. Work identification: The copyrighted work you claim is infringed (a URL or copy works).
  2. Location of material: The exact URL(s) on our site where the material appears.
  3. Contact info: Your name, mailing address, and email.
  4. Good-faith statement: You have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the owner, agent, or law.
  5. Accuracy/authority statement: The information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, you are the copyright owner or authorized to act for the owner.
  6. Signature: Physical or electronic signature (typed full name is acceptable for email submissions).

4) What We Do When We Receive a Notice

  • We will remove or disable access to the material identified in a valid notice.
  • When feasible, we will notify the source of the material (if identifiable) and explain how to submit a counter-notice.
  • If a notice concerns content on an affiliated site (e.g., Certifications & Safety) and was sent to us in error, we may forward it to the appropriate contact or advise you to resubmit under that site’s policy.

5) Counter-Notice (If You Believe We Removed Material by Mistake)

If you believe the material was removed due to mistake or misidentification, send a counter-notice to the Agent above that includes:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material removed and the location (URL) where it appeared before removal.
  3. 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.
  4. Your name, mailing address, and email, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida (Orlando Division), and will accept service from the person who sent the original notice (or their agent).
  5. If you reside outside the United States, you consent to the jurisdiction of any U.S. federal district court where HVACTA may be found.

6) Repeat Infringers

Where applicable, HVACTA will terminate usage rights of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. Although public user uploads aren’t available on our site, we apply this standard to any applicable accounts, services, or privileges.

7) Misrepresentation (17 U.S.C. §512(f))

You may be liable for damages (including costs and attorneys’ fees) if you materially misrepresent that material is infringing or that it was removed by mistake.

8) No Legal Advice

This policy summarizes our process and is not legal advice. You may wish to consult an attorney about your rights or obligations under the DMCA.
