Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Policy

1) Designated DMCA Agent

Tip: We register agent information with the U.S. Copyright Office's online DMCA Designated Agent directory.

2) Before You File

• • Make sure you're reporting copyright infringement (e.g., an image, video, audio, text, code). DMCA does not cover trademarks, privacy, or defamation.
• • Consider whether the use may be fair use, licensed, or otherwise authorized.
• • If you are not the rights holder, you must be authorized to act for the owner.

3) How to Send a Notice of Claimed Infringement

Send your notice to our Designated Agent and include all of the items below:

Subject: DMCA Notice – [Your Work Title] – [URL]
To: [email protected]

1) Signature: /s/ [Your Name]
2) Copyrighted work: [Describe or link]
3) Location of infringing material: [Full URLs and any IDs]
4) Your contact info: [Name, Address, Phone, Email]
5) Good‑faith statement: I have a good‑faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6) Perjury statement: I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in this notice is accurate and that I am the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

4) What We Do on a Proper Notice

• • Promptly remove or disable access to the material identified.
• • Notify the user who posted it.
• • If appropriate, terminate repeat infringers under §6.
• • In some cases we may forward your notice (including your contact info) to the user and/or submit it to public repositories such as the Lumen Database for transparency.

5) How to Send a Counter‑Notice

If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, send a counter‑notice to our Designated Agent with all of the items below:

Subject: DMCA Counter‑Notice – [File/URL]
To: [email protected]

1) Signature: /s/ [Your Name]
2) Material and prior location: [Describe + full URL/ID]
3) Perjury statement: I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good‑faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4) My name, address, phone: [Insert]
5) Jurisdiction + service: I consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. District Court as stated above and will accept service of process from the original complainant or their agent.

6) Repeat Infringer Policy

We may, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, terminate accounts of users who are deemed repeat infringers. A typical threshold is three (3) valid strikes within a rolling 12‑month period, but we reserve the right to act sooner in egregious cases. Attempts to evade enforcement (e.g., creating new accounts) may result in permanent bans.

7) AI‑Generated Content

DMCA applies to copyrighted works regardless of how they were created. If you allege infringement involving AI‑generated or AI‑edited content, clearly identify the copyrighted material allegedly copied and provide comparison details sufficient for evaluation.

8) Non‑DMCA Issues

DMCA covers copyright only. For trademark or other complaints, email [email protected] with supporting details. We handle those under separate policies and laws.
