Copyright & Trademarks Policy

Last update: March 2025

Digilancer is committed to protecting the intellectual property rights of creators and content owners. If you believe that any of your works have been reproduced or used on Digilancer in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, please review and follow the instructions provided in this policy to notify us. Our practices in handling alleged infringement claims aim to make the submission and review process transparent and straightforward, while mitigating unverified or unlawful requests. Similarly, if you are a Digilancer user or subscriber concerned about blocked access or the removal of your posted content due to alleged copyright infringement, we explain how to file a Counter-Notification below. The procedures described here are aligned with the forms recommended by the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

DMCA NOTIFICATION OF ALLEGED COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

If you suspect that any material on the Digilancer platform infringes on a copyright you own or are authorized to enforce, please issue a Notification of Claimed Infringement (“Notification”) by providing the required information below in written form and sending it to the address or email of our designated Copyright Agent:

Digilancer

Attn: Registered Copyright Agent

99 Wall Street #3009

New York, NY 10005

Email: copyright@digilancer.com

To be deemed valid, your Notification must include the following:

Authorized Signature

A physical or electronic signature from the copyright owner or an agent with the authority to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Identification of Copyrighted Work

A clear description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by your Notification, a representative list of the works at issue.

Identification of Infringing Material

Enough information to enable Digilancer to pinpoint the allegedly infringing material or the reference to it (e.g., the specific URL or relevant project link), and details on where this content is found on our Site so we can remove or disable it.

Locating the Material

Details or instructions sufficient for Digilancer to locate and identify the infringing material promptly, such as a direct link or screenshot if available.

Contact Information

Your current and accurate contact details, including your full legal name, physical mailing address, email address, and telephone number, so that we can correspond or request additional information, if necessary.

Statement of Good Faith

A declaration that you have a good faith belief that the material’s usage in the described manner is unauthorized by the rights owner, its agent, or the law.

Accuracy and Authority Statement

A statement confirming that all information in your Notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, you have the right to act on behalf of the copyright owner in alleging this infringement.

DMCA COUNTER-NOTIFICATION

If your content on Digilancer is taken down or disabled due to a reported copyright claim, and you believe this was done in error (e.g., as a result of a mistake or misidentification), you may choose to file a Counter-Notification (“Counter-Notice”). Send your Counter-Notice in writing, including the information listed below, to the same address or email:

Digilancer

Attn: Registered Copyright Agent

99 Wall Street #3009

New York, NY 10005

Email: copyright@digilancer.com

To be considered valid, a Counter-Notification must contain:

Authorized Signature

A physical or electronic signature from the user or subscriber whose content has been removed, or by an individual empowered to act on their behalf.

Identification of Removed Material

A precise description of the material that was taken down, including the location (such as a URL) where it appeared before its removal or disabling.

Good Faith Belief

A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that you genuinely believe the material was removed or restricted because of an oversight or wrongful identification.

Contact Information and Legal Agreement

Your full name, address, phone number, and a statement confirming:

If your address is in the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court located in your judicial district; or if your address is outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the Northern District of California, USA.

You will accept service of process from the party who initially submitted the Notification of Claimed Infringement or from that party’s legal representative.

Important: Under Section 512(f) of the U.S. Copyright Act, any individual who knowingly misrepresents that certain material was removed or restricted through error or misidentification may incur liability. Also note that Digilancer upholds a policy of suspending or permanently terminating the accounts of repeated infringers if warranted.
