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 is designed to protect copyrighted works on the internet and provides a framework for addressing copyright infringement. This section outlines the purpose of the DMCA as it relates to The Service, the rights of copyright holders, and the responsibilities of users of The Platform.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed upon by content available on The Service, you may submit a notification to our designated copyright agent. The notification must include a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner. Additionally, the notification must identify the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, provide sufficient information to locate the material on The Platform, and include your contact information.
The DMCA provides a 'safe harbor' provision that protects online service providers from liability for copyright infringement, provided that they comply with certain requirements. To qualify for safe harbor, The Service must not have actual knowledge of infringing material, must not be aware of facts or circumstances that would make the infringing activity apparent, and must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing material upon receiving proper notification. This provision encourages service providers to cooperate with copyright holders while allowing them to operate without fear of liability for user-generated content.
If you believe that material you posted on The Service has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. This counter-notification must include your physical or electronic signature, identification of the material that has been removed, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification, and your contact information. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, The Service will restore the material unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against you.
Users of The Service are responsible for ensuring that their use of the platform does not infringe upon the copyrights of others. This includes obtaining necessary permissions for any copyrighted material that is uploaded, shared, or otherwise made available through The Platform. Users should be aware that copyright infringement can result in significant legal consequences, including monetary damages and injunctions against further infringement. By using The Service, you agree to comply with all applicable copyright laws and to respect the intellectual property rights of others.
The Service maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is defined as a user who has been the subject of multiple valid copyright infringement notifications. Upon receiving a valid notification of infringement, The Service will take appropriate action, which may include removing the infringing material and notifying the user. If the user continues to infringe, The Service reserves the right to terminate their access to the platform.
The Service is provided on an 'as is' and 'as available' basis without any warranties of any kind, either express or implied. The Service does not warrant that the platform will be uninterrupted, secure, or free of errors or viruses. Users are advised that they use The Service at their own risk and that The Platform does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content available through the service. In no event shall The Service be liable for any damages arising from the use or inability to use the platform.
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 our practices regarding copyright infringement and the DMCA. Continued use of The Service after any changes to this policy constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.
If you have any questions or concerns regarding this DMCA policy, or if you wish to submit a copyright infringement notification or counter-notification, please contact our designated copyright agent at the contact information provided on The Service. We are committed to addressing any copyright concerns promptly and in accordance with the DMCA.
