DMCA Copyright Policy

Copyright Policy

Bitcloud Sweeps respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our platform.

DMCA Notice Requirements

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on our platform, you may notify our designated copyright agent as specified below. For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on our platform, with sufficient detail that we may find it (including URL or specific location).
3. Contact information: Your address, telephone number, and email address so that we may contact you.
4. Good faith statement: A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. Accuracy statement: A statement by you, 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 the copyright owner's behalf.
6. Signature: An electronic or physical signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest.

Designated Copyright Agent

Our designated copyright agent to receive DMCA notices is:

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content that was removed (or to which access was disabled) is not infringing, or that you have authorization from the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or pursuant to the law, to post and use the material, you may send a counter-notice containing the following information to our copyright agent:

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the content that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the content appeared before it was removed or disabled
3. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your jurisdiction and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement
6. Your physical or electronic signature

If a counter-notice is received by the copyright agent, we may send a copy of the counter-notice to the original complaining party informing that person that we may replace the removed content or cease disabling it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days after receipt of the counter-notice.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Bitcloud Sweeps has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to our platform and terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Fair Use

Before submitting a DMCA notice, please consider whether the use of copyrighted material at issue falls under fair use. Fair use is a legal doctrine that permits limited use of copyrighted material without obtaining permission from the rights holders. Fair use includes purposes such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research.

Misrepresentation

Under the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be subject to liability. Please ensure that all information in your notice or counter-notice is accurate.
