Copyright, DMCA & Content Use

All text, editorial content, photographs, illustrations, maps, data compilations, graphics, logos, the site’s monogram and wordmark, design, layout, and code are owned by the Publisher or its licensors and are protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, and trade dress law. The selection, arrangement, and coordination of content is itself protected as a compilation.

• Personal, non-commercial reading, printing, and bookmarking.
• Short quotations (generally under 75 words) for commentary, criticism, news reporting, or research, with clear attribution and a visible, followable link to the source page on this site.
• Map embed and citation license: you may embed our interactive Foxcroft map, or publish the downloadable map images we provide, on your own site free of charge, provided you keep the attribution intact and include a followable credit link back to this website.

• Republishing full articles, page sections, or substantial portions of text.
• Automated scraping, crawling, or bulk extraction outside ordinary search-engine indexing.
• Using content to train, fine-tune, evaluate, or ground AI or machine-learning models without prior written consent.
• Removing or altering attribution, watermarks, or copyright notices.
• Using our name, monogram, or wordmark in a way that suggests affiliation or endorsement.

Some imagery is licensed, stylized, or digitally generated and remains subject to its own license terms. Third-party names and marks appear under nominative fair use and belong to their owners.

Designated agent for notices. Copyright notices must be submitted in writing to the site’s designated agent, the Publisher of Foxcroft Charlotte, through the contact form (monitored at npeters@yourleaderinluxury.com). Use the subject line “DMCA Notice”. This is the only accepted channel; notices sent by any other means may not be received or acted upon.

If you believe content on this site infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, your notice must include all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• your physical or electronic signature (typing your full legal name in the message counts as an electronic signature);
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed — if multiple works, a representative list — with proof of registration or first publication where available;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing, specific enough for us to locate it: the exact URL on this site plus the paragraph, image filename, or timestamp at issue;
• your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, and your relationship to the rights holder;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Incomplete notices. A notice missing any required element is not effective under the statute. We may disregard it, or reply asking you to cure the defect; the review clock starts when a compliant notice is received.

• Acknowledgement: we aim to confirm receipt of a compliant notice within five (5) business days.
• Review and action: we expeditiously review and, where warranted, remove or disable access to the identified material, ordinarily within ten (10) business days of a compliant notice.
• Notification: where the material was supplied by a contributor, we take reasonable steps to notify them of the removal and provide a copy of the notice, which may include your identifying information.
• Record: we log every notice, the action taken, and the date, and retain that record for our repeat-infringer policy and any legal requirement.
• Preservation: we may preserve copies of removed material and related records as needed to respond to counter-notices, subpoenas, or litigation.

Removal is not an admission of infringement or liability, and we reserve all rights and defenses, including fair use.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing — or that it was removed by mistake — is liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by us, by the alleged infringer, or by any copyright owner injured by the misrepresentation. We reserve the right to pursue those damages, to reject notices we determine in good faith to be abusive, automated, competitive, or reputational in motive rather than based on a genuine claim, and to publish redacted notices for transparency.

If your material was removed and you believe it was removed in error or through misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice containing your signature, identification of the removed material and its prior location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, your contact information, and your consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the district in which you reside (or, if outside the United States, the Western District of North Carolina).

You must also state that you will accept service of process from the party who submitted the original notice, or that party’s agent. On receipt of a compliant counter-notice we forward a copy to the complaining party. If they do not notify us within ten (10) business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the activity, we may restore the material in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after receiving the counter-notice, at our discretion.

We have adopted and reasonably implement a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the access and contribution privileges of users who are repeat infringers. As a general rule, a contributor who is the subject of three (3) unresolved, compliant notices — or a single instance of flagrant, willful infringement — is permanently barred, and all of their material may be removed. Determinations are made in our sole reasonable discretion based on the notice record described above.

If you find our text, photography, maps, or downloadable map assets republished elsewhere without the attribution and credit link required by the license above, please tell us through the contact form. We routinely issue takedown notices to hosts, search engines, and advertising networks, and pursue statutory remedies where appropriate.

This Copyright & DMCA Policy, and any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to it, this website, or your use of the site — whether in contract, tort, statute, or otherwise — is governed by the laws of the State of North Carolina, United States, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules and excluding the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

You and the Publisher agree that the exclusive venue for any such dispute is the state or federal courts located in Mecklenburg County, North Carolina, and each party irrevocably consents to personal jurisdiction and waives any objection based on forum non conveniens. To the fullest extent permitted by law, each party waives any right to a jury trial and any right to bring or participate in a class, collective, consolidated, or representative action. Any claim must be brought within one (1) year after it arises or it is permanently barred, to the extent such a limitation is enforceable.

If you access this site from outside North Carolina or the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with your local law; we make no representation that the site or its content is appropriate or available in any particular jurisdiction. If any provision of this Copyright & DMCA Policy is held unenforceable, it will be modified to the minimum extent necessary and the remainder will stay in force. See the full Terms of Use for the complete agreement.
