Copyright and DMCA Policy

1. About this Policy

The Senior Wellness Company ("Senior Wellness," "we," "us") operates SeniorWellness.co and the Wellness Hub (the "Services"). This Policy explains copyright ownership, permitted uses, and how to report suspected infringement. It supplements our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy. Our Privacy Policy and related notices address personal information. Applicable law and mandatory rights control.

2. Ownership and permitted use

Senior Wellness and its licensors retain their rights in original website content, software, design, and branding. Authors, publishers, photographers, and other third parties retain their rights in their works, including research publications and images. Citing, linking to, summarizing, storing, or scoring a study does not transfer copyright or automatically authorize redistribution.

You may view and share links to public pages and use material as permitted by law, including fair use, public-domain use, and applicable licenses. Personal educational access does not authorize unauthorized bulk copying, commercial republication, or circumvention of access controls. Our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy provide additional rules.

3. Research materials and member features

Wellness Hub members may save existing conditions, treatments, studies, and plan items. Members cannot upload PDFs, write notes, or publish community posts. Staff may process and retain research PDFs for editorial work. Senior Wellness is responsible for determining appropriate rights or other lawful grounds for its own uses of third-party material.

MedQuiry research scores assess study methodology; they do not confer a license to the underlying study or establish permission to distribute it. Not all Senior Wellness content or storage activities qualify for a DMCA safe harbor, particularly material selected and published by our editorial staff.

4. Copyright complaints and designated agent

If you believe material available through our Services infringes your copyright, send a written complaint to our designated copyright agent using the contact details below. To help us locate and evaluate the material, please include:

• Your physical or electronic signature; identification of the copyrighted work (or a representative list); and identification and location of the allegedly infringing material, such as its URL, title, DOI, PMID, or description.
• Your name and sufficient contact information, including mailing address, telephone number, and email address if available.
• A statement that you believe in good faith that the challenged use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or law.
• A statement that the information is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act for the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Designated agent: Richard O'Neill, The Senior Wellness Company, P.O. Box 24, Califon, NJ 07830; 908-391-4356; legal@seniorwellness.co.

5. How we respond

We review copyright complaints and may remove or disable access to material, correct an issue, seek further information, or take other appropriate action. When an applicable provision of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, requires prompt action, we will follow that requirement. Removal does not necessarily mean infringement has been established. Complaints about our own editorial publications may be handled outside the statutory notice-and-counter-notice process.

6. Counter-notices and restoration

If material you provided was removed or disabled under an applicable DMCA procedure because of alleged infringement, and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send our designated agent a written counter-notice containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material and its location before removal; and a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that removal or disabling resulted from mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, plus a statement consenting to jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address (or, if outside the United States, a federal district court where the service provider may be found), and accepting service of process from the complainant or its agent.

Where the statutory procedure applies, we will forward a valid counter-notice to the complainant and may restore the material no earlier than 10 and no later than 14 business days after receipt, unless our agent receives notice of a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity. We may maintain restrictions for independent lawful reasons. Counter-notices may disclose the sender's required contact details to the complainant.

7. Repeat infringement and other complaints

We maintain and reasonably implement a policy for terminating access in appropriate circumstances involving repeat infringement, and accommodate standard technical measures as required by applicable law. We consider the circumstances of each matter; an allegation alone is not proof of infringement.

For trademark, attribution, licensing, or other non-DMCA concerns, contact legal@seniorwellness.co with enough information to identify the issue. Knowingly making material misrepresentations in a DMCA notice or counter-notice may result in liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

8. Privacy, updates, and contact

We use information in complaints to investigate, communicate, comply with law, and enforce our policies, as described in our Privacy Policy. We cannot promise confidentiality where a legal procedure requires disclosure. We may update this Policy with notice where required. This Policy governs copyright notice and counter-notice procedures if they conflict with the Terms of Service; it does not expand any license or guarantee DMCA safe-harbor protection.
