DMCA Policy

TRaX respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. This page describes how to submit a copyright infringement notice under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA, 17 U.S.C. § 512), how to submit a counter-notice if your content was removed, and our repeat-infringer policy.

1. Designated Agent

Send DMCA notices and counter-notices to our designated agent:

Registration of our designated agent with the U.S. Copyright Office DMCA Designated Agent Directory is in progress. This page will be updated with the agent's full name, physical address, and phone number once registration is complete.

2. Submitting a Takedown Notice

If you believe content on or distributed through the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to the designated agent above. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include all of the following:

• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, for multiple works, a representative list)
• Identification of the allegedly infringing material and where it is located, with enough detail for us to find it (a URL, or a stream or studio identifier)
• Your contact information: name, 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, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf
• Your physical or electronic signature

On receipt of a valid notice we will remove or disable access to the identified material promptly, notify the user who provided it, and provide that user with a copy of the notice. Incomplete notices may not be actionable; we will tell you what is missing where we can.

3. Counter-Notices

If material you provided was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the designated agent. Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notice must include:

• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
• Identification of the removed material and the location where it appeared before it was removed
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, any judicial district in which TRaX may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or their agent
• Your physical or electronic signature

On receipt of a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant. Unless the complainant notifies us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the alleged infringement, we may restore the removed material within 10 to 14 business days.

4. Repeat Infringers

We terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. A user whose content is the subject of repeated confirmed infringement notices will have their account terminated, and we may suspend or remove content or accounts after a single incident where the circumstances warrant it. We may also, at our discretion, restrict features or access for accounts subject to pending notices.

5. Misrepresentation

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Consider consulting an attorney before submitting a notice or counter-notice.
