The guides and listings on York PA Radon Pros (https://yorkparadonpros.com) take real work to research, write, and keep current. This page explains who owns that work, what you are free to do with it, what requires permission, and how to tell us if you believe something on the site infringes your own copyright. It should be read together with our Terms & Conditions. “We” and “us” mean the operator of York PA Radon Pros.

Ownership

Unless credited otherwise, all original content on the site belongs to York PA Radon Pros. That covers the articles, listing descriptions, reviews and rankings, photographs, graphics, page design, and underlying code, as well as the selection and arrangement of the directory as a whole. It is protected by United States and international copyright law.

Images we do not own outright

Most photographs on the site are our own. Some illustrations are generated with AI image tools and used under the terms of those tools. We do not claim the same ownership in AI-generated images that we claim in our own photographs and writing. They are nonetheless part of the site’s presentation and may not be lifted out and reused separately.

What you may do

You may view the site, print a page for your own household’s use, and share links to any page, all for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may also quote a short excerpt, a few sentences at most, provided you credit York PA Radon Pros and link back to the page you are quoting. Quotation of that kind is welcome, and we are glad when a guide is useful enough to cite.

What needs written permission

Anything beyond the above requires our written permission first. That includes reproducing or republishing articles, listings, or photographs; framing or mirroring the site; using content for any commercial purpose; translating or adapting it; and removing or altering any copyright or credit notice.

Automated Access, Scraping, and Republication

The content on York PA Radon Pros is original, proprietary work. Without our prior written permission, and except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law, the following are prohibited: systematic reproduction, scraping, crawling, harvesting, or extraction of content by automated means; republishing, syndicating, or redistributing the content in whole or in substantial part on any other site, feed, or platform; and using the content to create, train, fine-tune, or populate a substantially similar content database, dataset, directory, or artificial intelligence or machine-learning model.

Public search engines may index the site for the purpose of showing publicly available search results. That permission does not extend to caching, archiving, or generating content that substitutes for a visit to the site.

We may use technical measures to enforce this section, such as robots directives, rate limiting, and blocking. A violation ends your license to use the site immediately, and we keep every legal remedy available to us, including those under copyright law and the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act.

Requesting permission

Write to us through the Contact page. Tell us what you want to use, where it will appear, and for how long. We answer permission requests case by case, and permission is only valid when we have given it in writing.

Trademarks

The York PA Radon Pros name and any logos we use are our marks. The names, logos, and marks of the contractors, manufacturers, and agencies mentioned on the site belong to their respective owners, and their appearance here is for identification only. It implies no affiliation with or endorsement by them.

Material you send us

If you send us material intended for the site through our contact form, such as listing details, a logo, photographs, or a correction, you keep ownership of it. You grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual, worldwide license to use, edit, publish, and display it on and in connection with the site, and you confirm that you have the right to send it and that it infringes no one else’s rights.

Reporting copyright infringement (DMCA)

We respect the rights of other creators. If you believe material on the site infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, send us a notice through the Contact page with “DMCA notice” at the start of your message. Following the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 512, a valid notice must contain:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you say has been infringed, or a representative list if there are several.
  2. Identification of the material you say is infringing, with the URL of each page on our site where it appears.
  3. Your contact information: full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
  6. Your physical or electronic signature. Typing your full legal name at the end of the message serves as an electronic signature.

When we receive a notice that meets these requirements, we will review it, remove or disable access to the material where that is warranted, and make a reasonable effort to inform whoever supplied it.

Counter-notice

If material you supplied was removed and you believe that was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice through the same Contact page, beginning your message with “DMCA counter-notice.” It must contain:

  1. Identification of the material that was removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
  2. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Your full name, mailing address, and telephone number.
  4. 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 you are outside the United States, 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.
  5. Your physical or electronic signature.

We will pass a valid counter-notice to the original complainant. Unless that person tells us within ten business days that they have filed a court action over the material, we may restore it.

Be careful with both kinds of notice. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly makes a material misrepresentation in a notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.

Repeat infringers

We will stop accepting submissions from, and remove the material of, anyone who repeatedly supplies infringing content.
