Counter-Notification Procedures
Warning: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents in a counter-notification that material was removed by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.
If you believe that your content was wrongfully removed due to a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification by providing the following:
- Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material.
- Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or the federal district courts located in Miami-Dade County, Florida if your address is outside of the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
- Your physical or electronic signature.
Putback Timeline (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)):
- Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant
- The complainant has 10 business days to notify us of court action
- If no court action notice is received, we will restore the material within 10-14 business days
- We will notify you when the material has been restored
Note: We are not required to restore content if we have an independent basis to believe the content infringes copyright or violates our Terms of Service, regardless of counter-notification.
Repeat Infringer Policy
THREE-STRIKE TERMINATION POLICY
In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), we have adopted and reasonably implemented a policy for terminating repeat infringers. Users who receive three (3) valid DMCA notices within any 12-month period will have their accounts permanently terminated without prior notice.
Strike System:
- First Strike: Warning notification and content removal
- Second Strike: Account restriction and final warning
- Third Strike: Permanent account termination and IP block
We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Platform and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement. A single instance of egregious infringement may result in immediate termination.
No Obligation to Monitor: We are under no obligation to actively monitor user content for infringement. However, we reserve the right to remove any content we believe, in our sole discretion, infringes third-party rights.

- Images are stored securely with access controls
