The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that implements two 1996 treaties of the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO). The DMCA provides a framework for copyright owners to protect their works from unauthorized use on the internet. This document outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement on The Service, as well as the rights and responsibilities of both copyright owners and users of The Platform.
Under the DMCA, copyright owners have the right to issue takedown notices to internet service providers (ISPs) and websites that host infringing content. The Service adheres to the DMCA provisions, which include a 'safe harbor' provision that protects service providers from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that they comply with the DMCA's notice-and-takedown procedures. This means that if The Service receives a valid DMCA notice, it will remove or disable access to the infringing material expeditiously.
Copyright owners have the exclusive right to reproduce, distribute, and display their works. If a copyright owner believes that their work has been infringed upon on The Platform, they may submit a DMCA takedown notice. The notice must include specific information, such as a description of the copyrighted work, the location of the infringing material, and the contact information of the copyright owner. It is important for copyright owners to provide accurate and complete information to facilitate the removal of infringing content.
Users of The Service are responsible for ensuring that their content does not infringe on the intellectual property rights of others. By uploading content to The Platform, users represent and warrant that they have the necessary rights to do so and that such content does not violate any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property rights. Users are encouraged to respect the rights of copyright owners and to seek permission before using copyrighted material.
If a user believes that their content has been removed in error or that they have the right to use the material in question, they may submit a counter-notice to The Service. A counter-notice must include specific information, including the user's contact information, a description of the material that was removed, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, The Service may restore the removed content unless the copyright owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order against the user.
The Service has a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are found to be repeat infringers of copyright. A repeat infringer is defined as a user who has been the subject of multiple DMCA takedown notices. The Service will take appropriate action to ensure compliance with copyright laws and to protect the rights of copyright owners. Users are encouraged to be aware of the potential consequences of repeated copyright infringement, which may include account termination and legal action.
The Service disclaims any liability for any claims, damages, or losses arising from the use of the DMCA notice-and-takedown process. The Platform is not responsible for the content uploaded by users and does not endorse any user-generated content. The Service acts only as an intermediary and is not liable for any infringement that may occur as a result of user uploads. Users are encouraged to seek legal advice if they have questions about copyright law or the DMCA.
The Service reserves the right to modify this DMCA policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting the revised policy on The Platform. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about any updates. Continued use of The Service following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
For any questions regarding this DMCA policy, or to submit a DMCA notice or counter-notice, please contact us at the designated email address provided on The Platform. All communications should include sufficient detail to allow The Service to respond appropriately. We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond promptly to all valid notices.
