3. Repeat Infringers

We reserve the right to terminate accounts or block access to our platforms for users who are determined to be repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is a user who has been the subject of multiple DMCA Notices.

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability under the DMCA. If you knowingly submit false claims, you may be responsible for damages, including costs and attorney’s fees incurred by us or our users.

5. Content Removal and Restoration

Upon receiving a valid DMCA Notice, we will:

• • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.

• • Notify the user who uploaded the material of the removal and provide information about submitting a counter-notification.

If we receive a valid counter-notification, we may restore the material unless the copyright owner files a court action to prevent its restoration.

6. Modifications to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Any changes will be effective immediately upon posting on our platforms. Your continued use of our services constitutes your acceptance of any updates.
