This Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) policy outlines the procedures and guidelines for addressing copyright infringement claims related to the content hosted on The Service. The DMCA is a U.S. copyright law that provides a framework for copyright owners to protect their works from unauthorized use on the internet. This policy is designed to comply with the DMCA and to inform users of their rights and responsibilities under the law.
The DMCA establishes a 'safe harbor' provision that protects online service providers from liability for infringing content uploaded by users, provided that the service provider adheres to specific requirements. To qualify for safe harbor, The Service must not have actual knowledge of infringing material, must not be 'willfully blind' to such material, and must act expeditiously to remove or disable access to infringing content when notified by a copyright owner. This means that if a copyright owner believes that their work has been infringed upon, they can submit a formal notice to The Service, which will then investigate the claim and take appropriate action.
Under the DMCA, copyright owners have the right to send a notice of claimed infringement to The Service. This notice must include specific information, such as the copyrighted work that has been infringed, the location of the infringing material on The Service, and the contact information of the copyright owner. Upon receiving a valid notice, The Service is obligated to remove or disable access to the infringing material promptly. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in liability for copyright infringement.
If a user believes that their content has been removed or disabled in error, they may submit a counter-notice to The Service. This counter-notice must include the user's name, address, and a statement under penalty of perjury that the user has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification. Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, The Service may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days unless the original copyright owner files a lawsuit seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.
Users of The Service are responsible for ensuring that their content does not infringe upon the copyrights of others. By using The Service, users agree to comply with all applicable copyright laws and to refrain from uploading, posting, or distributing any content that violates the intellectual property rights of any third party. Users are encouraged to seek permission from copyright owners before using their works and to familiarize themselves with the principles of fair use and other relevant legal doctrines.
The Service is not liable for any damages resulting from the removal of content in response to a DMCA notice or for any claims of copyright infringement arising from user-generated content. The Service does not endorse or assume any responsibility for the accuracy, legality, or appropriateness of any user content and disclaims any liability for any claims, losses, or damages arising from such content. Users acknowledge that they are solely responsible for their content and any consequences that may arise from its use.
The Service reserves the right to modify this DMCA policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on this page. 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. If any changes are made that materially alter the rights or responsibilities of users, The Service will provide notice through the platform.
For any questions, concerns, or notices regarding copyright infringement, users may contact The Service through the designated contact information provided on the platform. It is important for users to provide accurate and complete information when submitting a notice or counter-notice to ensure prompt processing. The Service will respond to all valid notices in accordance with the DMCA requirements.

The Service may contain copyrighted material that is used under the fair use doctrine. Fair use is a legal doctrine that allows limited use of copyrighted material without permission from the copyright owner for purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, or research. Users are encouraged to understand the principles of fair use and to seek permission when necessary.
