Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Overview

FaciliTrades respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we respond to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement and, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

This policy explains how copyright owners can submit a takedown notice, how affected users can submit a counter-notification, and what information each must contain.

2. Designated Copyright Agent

Our designated agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Notices that do not substantially comply with the requirements below may not be actionable.

3. Filing a Takedown Notice

If you believe content on the Platform infringes your copyright, send our designated agent a written notice that includes all of the following elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
• Identification of the infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it (such as the listing URL or message reference).
• Your contact information — name, address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe your content was removed or disabled in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our designated agent that includes all of the following elements required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g):

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which FaciliTrades may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice or its agent.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed content in 10 to 14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

Consistent with the DMCA, we will, in appropriate circumstances, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.
