DMCA

1 Introduction

Bitartistry (“we,” “our,” or “us”) respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our customers, users, and visitors (“you”) to do the same. This DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy outlines our procedures for handling claims of copyright infringement occurring on or through https://bitartistry.com/.

This Policy is intended to comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512. It explains how copyright owners can submit claims and how users may respond to such claims regarding our t-shirts, hoodies, dresses, and sweaters.

2 Filing a Copyright Infringement Notice (DMCA Takedown Request)

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used, copied, displayed, sold, or otherwise made available on our Website in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a DMCA-compliant takedown request.

To be valid under the DMCA, your notice must include ALL of the following information:

  • 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, or a representative list if multiple works are involved.
  • Identification of the specific material claimed to be infringing, including enough detail for us to locate it (such as product URLs or image links on https://bitartistry.com/).
  • Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

DMCA notices that are incomplete, unclear, or do not include the required information may be rejected or delayed.

3 Where to Send Your DMCA Notice

DMCA notices may be sent to us via email or mail:

  • Email: support@bitartistry.com
  • Mailing Address: Bitartistry 2100 W 45th Ave, Apt B, Anchorage, AK 99517, United States

Please note that we reserve the right to share your DMCA notice with the person who posted or provided the allegedly infringing content.

4 What Happens After We Receive a Valid DMCA Notice

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown request, we will take one or more of the following actions, as appropriate:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  • Notify the user or third-party contributor who posted the content, providing a copy of the DMCA notice.
  • Request additional information if the notice is incomplete or unclear.
  • Terminate or suspend repeat infringers, where appropriate and required by law.

We process valid DMCA notices in a timely manner, but processing time may vary depending on the complexity of the claim.

5 Submitting a DMCA Counter-Notice

If your material has been removed due to a DMCA claim and you believe the removal was mistaken, you may file a DMCA counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed and its previous location on our Site.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed due to a mistake or misidentification.
  • Your name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
  • A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district (specifically for the State of Texas), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.

6 Repeat Infringers Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, Bitartistry will take reasonable steps to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, users or contributors who are found to be repeat copyright infringers. We may also limit account functionality or take other appropriate measures to comply with the law.

7 Misuse of the DMCA Process

Filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notice is a violation of federal law and may result in civil damages, including court costs and attorney fees. We reserve the right to reject or challenge DMCA notices that appear fraudulent or submitted in bad faith.

8 Limitation of Liability

While we strive to process DMCA notices promptly, Bitartistry is not liable for actions taken in good faith in response to DMCA notices or counter-notices. This includes removing access to allegedly infringing content.
