DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Safe harbor statement

Vibely respects intellectual property rights and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. We respond to properly submitted takedown notices and will remove or disable access to content claimed to be infringing.

2. How to submit a takedown notice

If you believe that content on Vibely infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated DMCA agent at [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Notice".

Your notice must include:

• A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed.
• A description of where the allegedly infringing content is located on Vibely (include the URL or project identifier).
• Your contact information: name, address, phone number, and email.
• 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, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

3. Our response

Upon receipt of a valid notice, we will: (a) remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content; (b) notify the account holder who posted the content; and (c) log the notice for our records. We will act expeditiously, typically within 3–5 business days.

4. Counter-notice process

If your content was removed due to a DMCA takedown and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to [email protected] with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice".

Your counter-notice must include:

• Identification of the content that was removed and where it appeared before removal.
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the content was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• Your name, address, phone number, and email address.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the district in which your address is located (or, if outside the US, any judicial district in which Vibely may be found).
• Your physical or electronic signature.

5. Reinstatement after counter-notice

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant and may reinstate the removed content after 10–14 business days, unless the complainant files a court action to prevent reinstatement.

6. Repeat infringer policy

In appropriate circumstances, Vibely will disable and terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. We consider a user a repeat infringer if they receive two or more valid DMCA takedown notices within any 12-month period.

7. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), knowingly making a material misrepresentation in a DMCA takedown notice or counter-notice may subject you to liability for damages, costs, and attorney fees.
