DMCA Notice Requirements

Please note that the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) requires the provision of the following information in the DMCA Notice:

• your original physical or electronic signature;
• identification (clear and detailed description) of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed;
• identification of where the material is located on the Platform so that we may identify it (valid URL link(s));
• your contact details, including your full name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement of your good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

DMCA Notice Processing

Please note that we will consider your DMCA Notice and remove content hosted by us and claimed to be infringing on your copyrights only if such notice complies in full with the requirements provided above and in the applicable law.

Once you send the compliance notice, our team will review it to decide whether the page must be taken down as requested. We will notify you of further actions as soon as a corresponding decision is made.

Based on the results of the review of the DMCA Notice, we reserve the right (but not limited to) at our sole discretion to:

• remove or disable the allegedly infringing web page or content;
• notify the user accused of infringement about the DMCA Notice and removal or disabling of the claimed User Content, if any;
• ask the user to contact you directly (upon your prior consent only) or to provide you with the user’s contact information (upon the user’s consent only) to resolve the issue amicably;
• cancel the user’s account or restrict the user’s access to their account.

Submitting Counter-Notice

If you believe that your User Content (defined in the Terms of Service) claimed to be infringing and therefore removed from the Platform does not infringe on any copyrights, you may submit the Counter-Notice containing the following information:

• your original physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the counter-claimed content;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that the content was removed as a result of an inappropriate DMCA Notice;
• your contact and identification information, such as a full name, address, phone number, email address, etc.;
• your consent to the jurisdiction of the U.S. Federal Courts for the judicial districts in which the user and we are located, and that such you will accept service of process from the original complaining party;
• a reasonable argument detailing opposition to the DMCA Notice sent to the Platform by the complaining party and proof of your legal title to use the claimed content.

Further Steps

Upon receipt of the Counter-Notice, as set forth above, we will:

• forward its copy to the original complaining party;
• inform the latter that the content in question may be restored not less than 10, nor more than 14 business days unless the complaining party notifies us that the legal action relating to the allegedly infringing content has been filed.
