Bay Equipment Company, a Virginia stock corporation doing business as Bay Equipment Co. ("Bay Equipment," "we," "us," or "our"), respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects visitors to this website to do the same.

This Copyright Policy explains who owns the content on bayequip.com, what you may and may not do with it, and how to notify us if you believe content on our site infringes your copyright. It supplements our Terms and Conditions and our Privacy Policy.

1. Our Content

Except as described in Section 2, the content on this website is owned by Bay Equipment or its licensors and is protected by United States and international copyright, trademark, trade dress, and other intellectual property laws. This includes, without limitation:

  • Text, page copy, equipment descriptions, and written guides
  • Photographs, images, illustrations, and video that we created or licensed
  • Page layout, design, graphics, icons, and visual styling
  • Logos, names, marks, and slogans
  • The selection, coordination, arrangement, and compilation of everything above

The compilation of content on this site is our original work even where individual elements originate with or are licensed from third parties.

2. Third-Party and Manufacturer Images

Some equipment photographs, illustrations, and specification materials on this site originate with the equipment manufacturer or another third party and are presented for identification and descriptive purposes so that customers can see the type of equipment we rent and sell.

We do not claim ownership of those materials. They remain the property of their respective owners, and nothing on this site grants you any right to use them.

If an image or other material on this site belongs to you and you have not authorized its use here, please tell us. Email info@bayequip.com with the page address and a description of the material, and we will review it promptly and remove it where appropriate. You are welcome to send a formal notice under Section 6, but you do not need to. A short email is enough, and we would rather fix it quickly than have you go to the trouble.

We also welcome inquiries from manufacturers and rights holders who would prefer we use different or officially supplied imagery.

3. Limited License to Use This Site

Subject to your compliance with this policy and our Terms and Conditions, we grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and view this site for your internal business purposes in evaluating our equipment and services.

You may, without asking us first:

  • View, print, or download individual pages, spec information, or images for your own internal use in planning a job, preparing a bid, or evaluating a rental or purchase.
  • Link to any public page on this site, provided the link does not misrepresent your relationship with us or imply endorsement, sponsorship, or affiliation.
  • Quote a short excerpt with attribution to Bay Equipment Co. and a link to the source page.

You may not, without our prior written permission:

  • Copy, reproduce, republish, distribute, sell, license, or sublicense any part of this site.
  • Use our photographs, equipment images, or written descriptions on your own website, marketplace listing, social media account, catalog, advertisement, or any other commercial material.
  • Create derivative works from our content, including edited, cropped, recolored, or retouched versions of our images.
  • Use any robot, spider, scraper, crawler, or other automated means to access, monitor, copy, or extract content, rates, listings, images, or contact information from this site.
  • Frame or mirror any part of this site, or present our content in a way that obscures its source.
  • Remove, obscure, or alter any copyright notice, watermark, attribution, or other proprietary marking.
  • Use our content for competitive benchmarking or to build a competing product, catalog, or service.

To request permission, contact us at info@bayequip.com and describe the content you want to use, where it will appear, and for how long. We are generally willing to grant reasonable requests, particularly from customers, manufacturers, and trade publications.

4. Trademarks

"Bay Equipment," "Bay Equipment Co.," the Bay Equipment logo, and our other names, marks, and slogans are trademarks of Bay Equipment. You may not use them without our prior written permission, including in advertising, metadata, domain names, social media handles, or search keywords.

Third-party manufacturer names, model designations, and logos appearing on this site are the property of their respective owners and are used solely for identification purposes, to describe the equipment we rent and sell. Their appearance does not imply any endorsement, sponsorship, affiliation, or authorized-dealer relationship unless we expressly state otherwise on the page where they appear.

5. Content You Submit to Us

If you submit content to us through this site, including reviews, testimonials, photographs, project descriptions, or other materials, you represent that you own it or have all rights necessary to submit it, and that it does not infringe anyone else's copyright or other rights. Section 12 of our Terms and Conditions sets out the license you grant us in that content.

Do not submit photographs or text you did not create unless you have permission from the person who did. Images pulled from a manufacturer's website, a competitor's listing, or a search engine are not yours to submit.

6. Reporting Copyright Infringement (DMCA Notice)

If you believe in good faith that content on this site infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to act for, you may send us a written notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

Your notice must include substantially all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

  1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
  2. Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed. If your notice covers multiple works at this site, a representative list of those works.
  3. Identification of the material you claim is infringing and that you want removed or disabled, with information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it. A direct URL is the most useful thing you can give us.
  4. Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Send your notice to our designated agent:

Designated Copyright Agent
Bay Equipment Company
12093 Waterman Drive
Newport News, Virginia 23602
Email: info@bayequip.com
Telephone: (757) 249-1111

Please put "DMCA Notice" in the subject line so it reaches the right person quickly.

A word of caution. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by us or by the person who posted the material. If you are unsure whether the use you are reporting is authorized or is a fair use, consider consulting an attorney before sending a notice.

7. What We Do When We Receive a Notice

When we receive a notice that substantially complies with Section 6, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material identified. Where the material was submitted by an identifiable user, we will make reasonable efforts to notify that person that the material was removed and to provide them a copy of the notice.

We may also, at our discretion, remove material that we independently determine is infringing, and we may preserve records relating to a notice or a removal.

8. Counter Notification

If your material was removed or disabled and you believe that removal was the result of mistake or misidentification, you may send us a counter notification.

Your counter notification must include substantially all of the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which we may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who sent the original notice or that person's agent.

Send your counter notification to the designated agent listed in Section 6, with "DMCA Counter Notification" in the subject line.

What happens next. If we receive a valid counter notification, we will forward it to the person who sent the original notice and let them know that we will restore the removed material in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days. We will restore the material within that window unless the original complainant first notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material.

The same caution applies. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly and materially misrepresenting that material was removed by mistake or misidentification can expose you to liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees.

9. Repeat Infringers

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted and will reasonably implement a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

In practice, this means we may:

  • Remove or disable material that is the subject of a valid notice.
  • Issue a warning to the person who submitted it.
  • Terminate the account of, and refuse further service through this site to, any person who repeatedly submits infringing material.

We determine what constitutes "appropriate circumstances" case by case, taking into account the number and nature of the notices received, whether a valid counter notification was submitted, and whether the conduct appears deliberate.
