1. Introduction

PlanFolks complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and responds to notices of alleged copyright infringement in accordance with its provisions. This Policy applies to copyright infringement claims regarding User Content hosted on the PlanFolks platform. This Policy supplements our general Copyright Policy.

2. Designated Agent

PlanFolks has designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement under the DMCA:

DMCA Designated Agent PlanFolks [Registered Office Address — to be inserted] Email: support@planfolks.com

3. Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe Content available on PlanFolks infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notice ("DMCA Notice") to our Designated Agent containing the information listed in Section 4.

4. Notice Requirements

To be effective, a DMCA Notice must include, to the extent required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list, if multiple works are covered by a single notice).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., a URL, username, or screenshot).
4. Contact information for the complaining party, including name, address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that the complaining party has 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, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

5. Our Response

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, we will:

1. Expeditiously remove or disable access to the material identified as infringing.
2. Notify the User who posted the material, providing a copy of the notice and information about the counter-notification process.
3. Take appropriate action against repeat infringers as described in Section 8.

6. Filing a Counter-Notification

A User whose Content was removed in response to a DMCA Notice may submit a counter-notification if they believe the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.

7. Counter-Notification Requirements

To be effective, a counter-notification must include, to the extent required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3):

1. The User's physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material removed and its location before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the User has a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. The User's name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or, if outside the United States, consenting to jurisdiction of any judicial district in which PlanFolks may be found), and that the User will accept service of process from the original complaining party.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not notify us within 10–14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the User from the infringing activity, we may reinstate the removed material.

8. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), PlanFolks will, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of Users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright.

9. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages.
