Copyright Infringement Notification
[YOUR APP/COMPANY NAME] respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement that are reported to our designated copyright agent identified below.
If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner, and you believe that your copyright-protected work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, please submit a notification containing the following information:
A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that has been allegedly infringed;
Identification of the copyrighted works claimed to have been infringed;
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material;
Your contact information, including your address, telephone number, and an email address;
A statement by you 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, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have the authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to upload and use the material in your content, you may send a counter-notification containing the following information to our copyright agent:
Your physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the content; and
Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in [YOUR JURISDICTION] and a statement that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.
If we receive a counter-notification, we may send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or user, the removed content may be replaced or access to it restored in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notification, at our sole discretion.
Repeat Infringers
We have a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers of copyright. A repeat infringer is a user who has been notified of infringing activity more than twice and/or has had content removed from the service more than twice.
