DMCA Policy

1. Copyright contact

DMCA notices may be sent to Unidia LLC, Attn: Copyright Agent, 131 Continental Dr, Newark, Delaware 19713, United States, and by email to [email protected]. To rely on statutory safe-harbour procedures, Unidia LLC must separately maintain any designation required in the US Copyright Office directory; publication of this page alone is not that designation.

2. Notice of claimed infringement

A notice should include all information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3).

• A physical or electronic signature of the authorised complaining party.
• Identification of the copyrighted work, or a representative list for multiple works at one location.
• Identification and location of the material to be removed or disabled, preferably with the exact You™ URL or registry ID.
• Contact information sufficient to reach the complaining party.
• A good-faith statement that the use is not authorised by the rights holder, its agent or law.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and the sender is authorised to act.

3. Processing a notice

We may validate the notice, request missing information, remove or disable access expeditiously when appropriate, notify the affected user and preserve relevant evidence. We may forward the notice, including contact details, to the affected user or advisers as permitted by law.

4. Counter-notification

A user who believes material was removed through mistake or misidentification may submit a counter-notice containing the information required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

• The user’s physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the removed material and its former location.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that removal resulted from mistake or misidentification.
• The user’s name, address and telephone number.
• Consent to the jurisdiction required by the statute and acceptance of service from the complainant.

5. Restoration

Where the statutory process applies, we may restore material after forwarding a valid counter-notice unless the original complainant timely informs us that court action has been filed. Timelines are governed by applicable law and do not guarantee restoration in every case.

6. Repeat infringers and misrepresentation

We maintain a policy for terminating repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances and may restrict users who submit fraudulent evidence or abusive notices. Misrepresentations in a notice or counter-notice may create liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

7. Other jurisdictions

The DMCA is a US procedure. We may also process notices under the EU Digital Services Act, national copyright rules or other applicable laws. A sender should identify the legal basis if relying on a non-US process.

8. No legal advice

Submitting a notice or counter-notice has legal consequences. You™ cannot advise either party. Consider consulting qualified counsel before making sworn statements.
