We respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect users of the Services to do the same. This DMCA Policy outlines how to notify us of alleged copyright infringement and how we respond to such notices in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512.
Pursuant to the DMCA, we have designated the following agent to receive notification of claimed copyright infringement: recipicity, LLC, attn: Copyright Designated Agent, email [email protected]. Notices sent to any other address will not be considered valid DMCA Notices.
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied, posted, stored, or otherwise used in the Services in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a written DMCA notice to our Copyright Agent. Your notice must include all elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3). This includes:
Incomplete notices may not be processed.
Upon receipt of a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material. We will notify the user who posted the material, and if the user believes the material was removed in error, they may submit a counter-notification. We may also terminate the accounts of repeat infringers as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i). Specifically, it is our policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are repeat infringers, and take reasonable steps to identify repeat infringement. We may, at our sole discretion, remove content even without a formal DMCA notice.
If your content has been removed in error or because of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Copyright Agent. Your Counter-notification must include:
Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original claimant. If the claimant does not file a court action within 10 business days, we may restore the material.
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly submits a false DMCA notice or counter-notice may be liable for damages, including attorneys' fees. Please ensure your claims are accurate.
