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 document outlines the policies of The Service regarding copyright infringement and the procedures for reporting and addressing such violations.
The DMCA establishes 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 infringement, must not be 'willfully blind' to infringing activity, and must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving proper notification. This framework encourages the growth of the internet while balancing the rights of copyright holders.
Under the DMCA, copyright holders have the right to issue takedown notices to service providers when they believe their work is being infringed. A proper takedown notice must include specific information, including a description of the copyrighted work, the location of the infringing material, and a statement of good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner. The Service respects the rights of copyright holders and will respond promptly to valid notices.
If a user believes that their content has been removed in error, they may submit a counter-notice to The Service. This counter-notice must include the user's contact information, identification 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. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, The Service may restore the removed content unless the copyright holder files a lawsuit within ten business days.
The Service is committed to complying with the DMCA and protecting the rights of copyright holders. However, users of The Platform are responsible for the content they upload and share. Users agree to indemnify and hold harmless The Service from any claims, losses, or damages arising from their content, including any claims of copyright infringement. This indemnification extends to any legal fees incurred by The Service in defending against such claims.
To report copyright infringement, users should send a written notice to The Service's designated copyright agent. This notice must include the information specified in the DMCA, including the user's contact information, a description of the copyrighted work, and the location of the infringing material. The Service will investigate all reported claims and take appropriate action in accordance with the DMCA.
The Service reserves the right to modify this DMCA policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this website. Users are encouraged to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how The Service addresses copyright issues. Continued use of The Platform after any changes constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
For any questions regarding this DMCA policy or to report copyright infringement, please contact The Service's designated copyright agent at the provided contact information. We are committed to addressing all inquiries and concerns in a timely manner.
