DMCA

At Ripiya (ripiya.com), we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others. We understand the importance of complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and strive to ensure that our content and services adhere to the highest legal standards. This DMCA Takedown Policy outlines the procedure for reporting copyrighted content that has been uploaded or made available on our website without authorization.

1. Overview of the DMCA

The DMCA is a U.S. copyright law that provides a mechanism for copyright holders to request the removal of infringing content. Under the DMCA, copyright owners or their authorized representatives can submit a takedown notice to request the removal of content that infringes upon their copyrights.

Ripiya is dedicated to complying with the DMCA and other applicable intellectual property laws. If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or made available on our website without proper authorization, please follow the procedure outlined below to submit a DMCA takedown notice.

2. Reporting Infringing Content

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used on Ripiya without your permission, you can submit a DMCA takedown request by providing the following information to our designated DMCA agent:

  • Your Contact Information: Full name, address, phone number, and email address.
  • Description of the Work: A clear description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  • Description of the Infringing Content: Provide the URL(s) of the specific content that you believe infringes your copyright.
  • Statement of Good Faith: A statement that you believe in good faith that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • Statement of Accuracy: A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  • Signature: Your electronic or physical signature.

Once we receive a properly submitted DMCA takedown notice, we will review the request and take appropriate action in accordance with the DMCA, including removing or disabling access to the alleged infringing content.

4. Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that your content has been removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to request the reinstatement of the content. A valid counter-notification must include the following information:

  • Your Contact Information: Full name, address, phone number, and email address.
  • Identification of the Content: A description of the content that was removed and the URL(s) where the content appeared prior to removal.
  • Good Faith Statement: A statement that you believe in good faith that the content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification.
  • Consent to Jurisdiction: A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which you reside or the location of Ripiya’s operations.
  • Signature: Your electronic or physical signature.

Once we receive a valid counter-notification, we will investigate the issue and may restore the removed content within a reasonable timeframe, unless we receive notice from the copyright owner initiating a lawsuit.

5. Repeat Infringers

Ripiya reserves the right to suspend or terminate the accounts of users who repeatedly infringe the copyrights of others. If a user submits multiple valid DMCA takedown notices regarding the same user or content, we may take action to restrict that user’s access to the site, in compliance with the DMCA.

  • Google AdSense Guidelines: We ensure that our content complies with AdSense policies, including removing or preventing the display of ads on infringing content.

By adhering to these policies, Ripiya maintains the integrity of our platform and ensures that all content published is in accordance with both legal and ethical standards.

7. Consequences of False Claims

Submitting a false DMCA takedown notice is a violation of the DMCA and may lead to legal consequences, including liability for damages. We reserve the right to pursue legal action against those who knowingly submit false claims of copyright infringement.
