Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) Compliance Policy

1. Introduction & Commitment to Copyright

StarWave Entertainment respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users and partners to do the same. We are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and applicable international copyright laws. This policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright infringement claims and protecting the rights of content creators while preserving fair use principles.

2. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or used in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement on our platforms, services, or partner networks, you may submit a written notice to our designated DMCA Agent. Please include the following information in your notification:

Required Information for DMCA Notices:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. A description of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. A description of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address.
5. A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe your content was removed or access was disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our DMCA Agent. Your counter-notification must include:

• Your name, address, and telephone number.
• The URL or location of the material that was removed or 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.
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or a foreign country if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the infringement notice or their agent.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the complainant and may restore the material within 10-14 business days unless we receive notice that an action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain you from engaging in infringing activity.

4. Repeat Infringer Policy

We may, in our sole discretion, remove or disable access to materials in response to a complaint or at our own initiative. We do not review complaints submitted to us and do not determine whether materials are actually infringing or non-infringing. We simply respond expeditiously to clear copyright infringement claims as described in the DMCA.

5. Fair Use & User Content

While we respect copyright, we also recognize the importance of fair use and transformative content. Users are responsible for ensuring their uploads and submissions comply with all applicable laws. We do not encourage or condone copyright infringement, and users may be held liable for any infringement arising from their content.
