Copyright Infringement Notification

CollabCut respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond promptly to claims of copyright infringement committed using our service.

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible via our service, please notify our copyright agent as set forth in the DMCA.

To File a DMCA Notice

Your DMCA notice must include the following information:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, or if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
  2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the service, with sufficient detail that we may find it (including URL, project name, video ID, or other identifying information).
  3. Your contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  4. Statement of good faith belief: A statement that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.

Subject Line: DMCA Takedown Request

Note: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability. Please ensure your claims are accurate before filing a DMCA notice.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with us.

To File a Counter-Notice

Your counter-notification must include the following information:

  1. Identification of the material: Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
  2. Statement under penalty of perjury: A statement, made 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.
  3. Your contact information: Your name, address, and telephone number.
  4. Consent to jurisdiction: 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 you are located outside the United States, any judicial district in which CollabCut may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.
  5. Your signature: An electronic or physical signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original DMCA notice. If the original complainant does not file a court action seeking an injunction against the alleged infringement within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, CollabCut has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Processing of Notices

Upon receiving a valid DMCA notice, we will:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material
  • Notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it
  • Provide the user with the DMCA notice (minus your contact information if you request it be withheld)
  • Provide the user with information about how to file a counter-notification

Limitation of Liability

CollabCut acts as a neutral service provider. We do not review content before it is posted and cannot determine whether content is authorized by the copyright owner or whether its use constitutes fair use.

We make no representations or warranties regarding the accuracy or completeness of DMCA notices or counter-notifications we receive. Users are responsible for ensuring their notices comply with applicable law.

Other Intellectual Property Rights

While this policy specifically addresses copyright infringement under the DMCA, CollabCut also respects other intellectual property rights, including trademarks and patents.
