DMCA Agent: support@popaho.com
Overview
PopaHO respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. This DMCA Policy explains our process for handling claims of copyright infringement in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. Section 512).
PopaHO qualifies for the safe harbor provisions of the DMCA, which limit our liability for user-generated content that infringes third-party copyrights, provided we respond appropriately to valid takedown notices.
Reporting Copyright Infringement
If you believe that content on PopaHO infringes your copyright, please send a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent at:
Email: support@popaho.com
Subject Line: DMCA Takedown Notice
Your notice must include all of the following:
- 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 allegedly infringing material on popaho.com, with sufficient detail to locate it (e.g., the specific URL)
- Your contact information, including name, address, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
- A statement, made 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
Incomplete notices will not be processed. We reserve the right to request additional information before taking action.
Our Response
Upon receiving a valid and complete DMCA notice, we will make reasonable efforts to remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content in a timely manner. We will notify the user who submitted the content, if applicable.
We reserve the right to determine whether a notice is valid and whether removal is appropriate. We are under no obligation to act on notices we reasonably believe are incomplete, invalid, or submitted in bad faith.
Counter-Notification
If you believe your content was removed as a result of a mistaken or misidentified DMCA notice, you may submit a counter-notification to support@popaho.com. Your counter-notification must include:
- Your physical or electronic signature
- Identification of the removed content and the URL 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, telephone number, and email address
- A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the district where you reside, or if outside the US, any judicial district in which PopaHO may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the complainant
Following a valid counter-notification, we may restore the removed content after 10-14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.
Repeat Infringers
PopaHO maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights.
No Legal Advice
