This policy outlines the procedures for submitting a DMCA notice and how we handle such requests.
1. Copyright Infringement Notification

2. Counter-Notice

3. Procedure for Processing DMCA Notices
Once we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice:
- We will review the notice and may remove the infringing material or disable access to it.
- We will notify the user who uploaded the content of the takedown request and provide them with an opportunity to file a Counter-Notice if they believe the content was removed in error.
- We may restore the content following a Counter-Notice unless the original copyright owner files a lawsuit.
4. Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA, we may terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. If we receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices against a user’s content, we may take further action to prevent future infringements.
