Notice of Claimed Infringement

SoulFlirt respects the intellectual property of others and expects our users to do the same. We comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) of the United States. If you believe that your work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, or your intellectual property rights have been otherwise violated, please provide our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. Electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright or other intellectual property interest.
  2. Description of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property that you claim has been infringed.
  3. Description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on SoulFlirt.
  4. Your address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. Statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in your Notice is accurate and that you are the copyright or intellectual property owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Notification and Take Down Procedures

SoulFlirt implements the following “notification and takedown” procedure upon receiving a notification of claimed copyright infringement. We reserve the right to disable access to or remove any material or activity accessible on or from our Site that is claimed to be infringing or based on facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent. It is our policy to terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers, when appropriate, and we will act expeditiously to remove access to all material that infringes on another’s copyright, according to 17 U.S.C. §512 of the DMCA.

If the notice does not comply with §512 of the DMCA but meets the three requirements for identifying infringing sites, we will attempt to contact the complaining party to help them comply with the notice requirements. When a valid notice is received, we will expeditiously remove and/or disable access to the infringing material and notify the affected user. The affected user may submit a counter-notification containing a statement made under penalty of perjury that they have a good faith belief that the material was removed due to misidentification. After receiving the counter-notification, we will replace the material within 10-14 days unless we receive notice of a court action seeking an injunction against the infringing activity. We reserve the right to modify, alter, or add to this policy, and users should regularly check these Terms and Conditions for updates.

DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that a Notice of Claimed Infringement is erroneous or that material has been wrongly removed, you may submit a counter-notification under Section 512(g)(2) and (3) of the DMCA. The counter-notification must be accurate and truthful, and you will be liable for any misrepresentations.

To submit a counter-notification, provide our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  1. Specific description of the material that was removed or disabled pursuant to the Notice.
  2. Description of where the material was located within the Site before it was removed or disabled. Provide the specific URL if possible.
  3. Statement reflecting your belief that the removal or disabling of the material was done erroneously. For convenience, you may use the following format:
    • “I swear, under penalty of perjury, that I have a good faith belief that the referenced material was removed or disabled by the service provider as a result of mistake or misidentification of the material to be removed or disabled.”
  4. Your physical address, telephone number, and email address.

Written notification containing the above information should be signed and sent to:

Alternatively, you may email the information, but it must be digitally signed and sent to [Designated Copyright Agent’s Email Address].

After receiving a DMCA-compliant counter-notification, our Designated Copyright Agent will forward it to us, and we will provide the counter-notification to the entity who initially provided the Notice. Within 10-14 days of receiving the counter-notification, we will replace or cease disabling access to the disputed material unless we receive notice of a legal action pertaining to the material. We reserve the right to modify, alter, or add to this policy, and users should regularly check for any updates.
