Copyright & DMCA Policy

Users are solely responsible for content they upload, post, transmit, or otherwise make available through the Services. By submitting content, each User represents and warrants that the User owns the content or has all permissions, licenses, and other rights necessary to use it and to authorize Company to host and display it as described in the Terms of Service.

Users may not upload or share content that infringes another person's copyright or other intellectual-property rights. Company may remove or disable access to content, restrict features, suspend accounts, or terminate accounts when appropriate to enforce this Policy or comply with law.

Copyright owners and their authorized agents may send notices of claimed infringement and counter-notifications to our registered designated agent:

This contact is for copyright notices and counter-notifications. Other requests should be sent through the regular support contact identified in our Privacy Policy.

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a written notice of claimed infringement should include substantially all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed or, if multiple works at one online location are covered, a representative list of those works.
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as the exact URL, post, profile, review, message, video, file, or other in-app location.
4. Information reasonably sufficient for us to contact the complaining party, including a name, mailing address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner's agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is the copyright owner or is authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

When we receive a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA, we will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material claimed to be infringing. We will take reasonable steps to promptly notify the User who provided the material. If a notice identifies the copyrighted work, the disputed material, and provides sufficient contact information but is otherwise incomplete, we may contact the sender or take other reasonable steps to help obtain a substantially compliant notice.

We may preserve the notice, related content, account information, and moderation records as reasonably necessary to administer the process, address repeat infringement, resolve disputes, or comply with legal obligations.

A User who believes material was removed or disabled because of a mistake or misidentification may submit a written counter-notification to the designated agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), the counter-notification should include substantially all of the following:

1. The User's physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal or disabling.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that the User has a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification.
4. The User's name, address, and telephone number, together with a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)(D), and agreeing to accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

We will promptly provide a copy of a substantially compliant counter-notification to the person who submitted the original notice and inform that person that the material may be restored in accordance with the DMCA.

After receiving a substantially compliant counter-notification, we may restore the removed material or cease disabling access not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after receipt, unless our designated agent first receives notice that the original complaining party has filed a court action seeking to restrain the User from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

Company has adopted and reasonably implements a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of Users who are repeat infringers. Depending on the circumstances, Company may remove content, issue warnings, restrict content or account features, suspend an account, or permanently terminate an account. Company may consider valid notices, counter-notifications, court determinations, retractions, account history, and other relevant information when applying this policy.

Company accommodates and does not interfere with standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify or protect copyrighted works when those measures satisfy the requirements of 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), a person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for resulting damages, costs, and attorneys' fees. Before submitting a notice or counter-notification, consider whether the disputed use is authorized by a license or by law, including whether it may qualify as fair use.

We may update this Policy to reflect changes to the Services, our procedures, or applicable law. We will post the updated version and revise the effective date. Nothing in this Policy is legal advice, and the DMCA's requirements are determined by applicable law.
