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 rights in the digital environment. This section outlines the procedures for reporting copyright infringement on The Service and the rights of users and copyright owners under this law.
Under the DMCA, copyright owners have the right to send a notice to service providers, such as The Platform, to inform them of infringing material. The Service is required to respond expeditiously to remove or disable access to the infringing content. The DMCA also establishes a 'Safe Harbor' provision that protects service providers from liability for infringing content posted by users, provided that they comply with the notice-and-takedown procedures outlined in the law. This means that The Service can avoid liability for copyright infringement as long as it acts promptly upon receiving a valid DMCA notice.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed on The Service, you may submit a notification to our designated copyright agent. Your notification must include the following information: a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner; identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit The Service to locate the material; your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law; and a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, under penalty of perjury.
If you believe that your material has been removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to The Service. A counter-notice must include your physical or electronic signature; identification of the material that has been removed and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification; and your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which The Service may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of such person.
The DMCA provides copyright owners with the ability to enforce their rights against infringing parties. However, it also protects service providers like The Platform from liability if they adhere to the DMCA’s requirements. This means that while copyright owners can seek damages and injunctions against infringers, service providers are shielded from liability as long as they act in good faith to remove infringing content upon receiving a valid notice. It is important to note that the DMCA does not eliminate the need for copyright owners to prove their ownership of the work in question, nor does it provide immunity for users who engage in infringing activities.
Users of The Service are responsible for ensuring that their use of the platform does not infringe upon the copyrights of others. By using The Service, users agree not to post, share, or distribute any content that violates copyright laws. The Service reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe upon the copyrights of others or who engage in other unlawful activities.

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.

Continued use of The Service following the posting of changes constitutes acceptance of those changes.
