apvanta Copyright and DMCA Policy

Effective date: [DATE]

apvanta respects intellectual property rights. This Copyright and DMCA Policy explains how copyright owners may report alleged infringement and how users may respond.

Before publishing this policy as final, Company should designate a DMCA agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and keep the designation current.

1. Copyright complaints

If you believe content available through the Service infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our designated copyright agent:

DMCA Agent: [DMCA AGENT NAME]

Company: [LEGAL ENTITY: confirm exact Apvanta legal entity]

Email: [DMCA EMAIL]

Mailing address: [DMCA MAILING ADDRESS]

Phone: [PHONE, OPTIONAL]

Your notice should include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
• identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient for us to locate it, such as event URL, recording URL, stream page, account, title, or timestamp;
• your contact information;
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• 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.

2. Action after notice

When we receive a valid notice, we may remove or disable access to the identified material, notify the affected user where appropriate, and take other action under our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

Because the Service supports live events, we may interrupt or disable a live stream quickly where we reasonably believe the stream infringes copyright or creates legal risk.

3. Counter-notices

If your content was removed or disabled because of a copyright notice and you believe the removal was mistaken or misidentified, you may send a counter-notice to the DMCA agent.

Your counter-notice should include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the material removed or disabled and where it appeared before removal;
• a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled because of mistake or misidentification;
• your name, address, telephone number, and email address;
• a statement that you consent to jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if outside the United States, the judicial district where Company is located, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original notice or that person's agent.

After receiving a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material unless the original complainant notifies us that it has filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.

4. Repeat infringers

We may terminate accounts or restrict access for repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances. We may also consider repeated copyright complaints, obvious infringement, attempts to evade enforcement, and misuse of the Service.

5. Misrepresentations

Submitting false or bad-faith notices or counter-notices may create legal liability. If you are unsure whether content infringes copyright, consult an attorney before submitting a notice.
