Digital Millennium Copyright Act Notice & Safe Harbor Policy

Witch Voices™ ("we," "us," "our") respects the intellectual property rights of creators and operates in full compliance with Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512, "DMCA"). As an interactive service provider hosting user-generated articles, forums, discussions, and media, we maintain statutory safe-harbor protections by responding expeditiously to valid copyright infringement notices and implementing a strict repeat-infringer policy.

1. Designated Copyright Agent

All notifications of claimed copyright infringement and counter-notifications must be submitted directly to our Designated Copyright Agent:

2. Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), an effective copyright notification must be provided in writing and contain the following elements:

1. Physical or Electronic Signature: A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright interest allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of the material claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, including the specific URL(s) or exact location on the Platform sufficient to allow us to locate the material.
4. Complainant Contact Information: Your full legal name, telephone number, and physical or email address.
5. Good-Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Penalty of Perjury Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Notices omitting required statutory elements may be delayed or rejected as legally insufficient.

3. Takedown and Response Protocol

Upon receipt of a valid, compliant DMCA notice, Witch Voices™ will:

• Expeditiously remove, disable access to, or hide the allegedly infringing content.
• Promptly notify the registered user who submitted the content that access has been disabled.
• Provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice (including the complainant’s contact details).
• Inform the user of their statutory right to submit a formal Counter-Notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g).

4. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe your content was removed or disabled as a result of mistake, misidentification, or fair use, you may submit a formal counter-notification to our Designated Agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled, along with the URL or location where it appeared prior to removal.
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full name, physical address, and telephone number.
5. 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 your address is outside the United States, the federal judicial district where Witch Voices™ is located), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or their agent.

5. Content Restoration Following Counter-Notice

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2)(C), upon receiving a valid counter-notification, Witch Voices™ will forward a copy to the original complaining party. We will restore access to the disabled material not less than ten (10) nor more than fourteen (14) business days following receipt of the counter-notification, unless the original complainant notifies our Designated Agent that an action has been filed in federal court seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity relating to the material on our Platform.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy (17 U.S.C. § 512(i))

Witch Voices™ strictly enforces a repeat infringer policy. We track verified DMCA notices tied to user accounts. In appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, accounts associated with multiple copyright takedowns, repeated infringement, or blatant disregard for intellectual property rights will be permanently banned and terminated without warning.

7. False or Fraudulent Submissions (17 U.S.C. § 512(f))

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), 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, shall be liable for any damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner, or Witch Voices™.
