12. DMCA
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States copyright law that provides a safe harbor for online service providers from liability for copyright infringement, provided they comply with certain requirements. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please provide us with a written notice containing the following information: (i) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner; (ii) identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed; (iii) identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing and where it is located on The Service; (iv) your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and email address; (v) 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 (vi) a statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing material. We also reserve the right to terminate the accounts of repeat infringers. If you believe that your material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to us. To be effective, a counter-notice must include: (i) your physical or electronic signature; (ii) identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled; (iii) 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 (iv) your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District 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 Platform may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notice or an agent of such person.
The DMCA provides a framework for copyright owners to protect their rights while also allowing for the fair use of copyrighted material. It is important to understand that the DMCA does not provide blanket protection for all online content, and users must be aware of their responsibilities when posting or sharing content on The Service.
