4. How We Respond to Takedown Notices

Upon receiving a valid takedown notice that substantially complies with the requirements above, we will:

  • Attempt to notify the user who uploaded the material (if we have their contact information) that the content has been removed and provide them with a copy of the takedown notice.
  • Inform the affected user of their right to submit a counter-notice as described in Section 5 below.

5. Procedure for Submitting a Counter-Notice

If you are a user whose content has been removed and you believe that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notice to our Designated Agent containing all of the following:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the URL or location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.

5.1 What Happens After a Counter-Notice

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice, we will:

  • Forward a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party.
  • Inform the original complaining party that we may restore the removed material after 10 business days.
  • Restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days after receiving the counter-notice, unless our Designated Agent first receives notice from the original complaining party that they have filed a court action to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity related to the material on the Site.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Site and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

A user may be considered a repeat infringer if they have been the subject of more than one valid takedown notice. We evaluate repeat infringement claims on a case-by-case basis, considering factors such as the nature and severity of the infringement and whether the user has submitted valid counter-notices.

While we employ automated blocklists, content filters, community reporting tools, and manual review to moderate content (as described in our Privacy Policy, Section 5), we do not pre-screen all User Content prior to publication.

We are not responsible for the content uploaded by users. If you believe that any content on the Site infringes your rights, please follow the takedown notice procedure described in Section 3 above. For content that violates our other policies (e.g., harassment, explicit material, or other Terms of Service violations), please report it to [email protected].
