ADDRESSING CLAIMS OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT


We consider copyright infringement claims with great importance. We will respond to allegations of copyright infringement in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the "DMCA") or any other relevant intellectual property legislation or laws. Our responses may involve removing, blocking, or disabling access to materials claimed to be the subject of infringing activity, terminating the user's access to our platform, or implementing a combination of these measures.

If you believe any material accessible on our platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a copyright infringement notification (see below, "Submitting a DMCA Notice of Copyright Infringement" for instructions). These requests should only be submitted by the copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

If we remove or disable access to material due to such a notice, we will take reasonable steps to notify the user who uploaded the affected content that we have removed or disabled access to it, allowing the user the opportunity to submit a counter notification (see below, "Counter-Notification Procedures" for instructions on filing a counter notification). We document all notices of alleged infringement on which we act.

All copyright infringement notifications and counter-notifications must be written in English. Notifications written in foreign languages or using foreign characters may, at our discretion, be deemed non-compliant and disregarded.

SUBMITTING A DMCA NOTICE OF COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT
If you decide to request content removal by submitting an infringement notification, please remember that you are initiating a legal process. Do not make false claims. Misuse of this process may result in the suspension of your account or other legal consequences.

You may notify our platform of alleged copyright infringement via our form found at [URL]. This form is designed to help you accurately identify your content and expedite the content take-down process.

We also accept free-form copyright infringement notifications. In such cases, in accordance with the DMCA, the written notice (the "DMCA Notice") must include substantially the following:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe to have been infringed or, if the claim involves multiple works, a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the material you believe to be infringing in a sufficiently precise manner to allow us to locate that material. If your complaint does not contain the specific URL of the photo you believe infringes your rights, we may be unable to locate and remove it. General information about the photo, such as a channel URL or username, is typically not adequate. Please include the URL(s) of the exact photo(s).
  3. Adequate information by which we, and the uploader(s) of any photo(s) you remove, can contact you (including your name, postal address, telephone number, and, if available, email address).
  4. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  5. A statement that the information in the written notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner, or an agent authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
  6. Complete complaints require the physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a representative authorized to act on their behalf. To satisfy this requirement, you may type your full legal name to act as your signature at the bottom of your complaint.

COUNTER-NOTICE GUIDELINES


If you received a DMCA Notice and believe the material was mistakenly removed or disabled, submit a counter-notification (a "Counter-Notice") to our designated agent:

Email: [email protected]

Your Counter-Notice must include:

  1. Your contact information and signature;
  2. Identification of the content and its location before removal;
  3. A statement that you believe in good faith the content was removed mistakenly; and
  4. Consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. Federal District Court.

We will forward your Counter-Notice to the party who submitted the original DMCA Notice. Removed material may be restored after 10-14 business days unless we receive notice of legal action against you.

Submitting a counter-notification includes consent to reveal your personal information. If you knowingly misrepresent that material was removed mistakenly, you may be liable for damages under Section 512(f) of the DMCA.

RECURRING INFRINGERS We may terminate or disable accounts of repeat infringers or those who infringe intellectual property rights, at our sole discretion.
