DMCA Policy

1. DMCA Safe Harbor

DropaSound, a product of Vibe Works Studio LLC, operates as an online service provider under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and qualifies for safe harbor protection for user-generated content. We do not pre-screen content uploaded by users but respond promptly to valid takedown notices.

To maintain our safe harbor status Vibe Works Studio LLC has registered a designated DMCA agent with the United States Copyright Office as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2).

4. Our Response Process

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice we will:

• Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days
• Review the notice for completeness and validity
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content promptly if the notice is valid
• Notify the user who uploaded the content that it has been removed
• Provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice
• Inform the user of their right to file a counter-notice

Incomplete notices that do not meet all statutory requirements will not be processed. We will notify you if your notice is incomplete.

5. Counter-Notice Process

If you believe your content was removed as a result of a mistake or misidentification you may submit a counter-notice. A valid counter-notice must include:

• Your full name, address, phone number, and email address
• Identification of the content that was removed and its location before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the content was removed by mistake or misidentification

Upon receiving a valid counter-notice we will forward it to the original complainant and restore the content within 10-14 business days unless the complainant files a court action to restrain the restoration of the content.

6. Repeat Infringer Policy

Specifically:

• A user who receives two valid DMCA takedown notices will receive a formal warning
• A user who receives three or more valid DMCA takedown notices will have their account permanently terminated
• Accounts terminated for copyright infringement are not eligible for reinstatement
• We reserve the right to terminate accounts after fewer notices if the infringement is particularly egregious

7. Abuse of the DMCA Process

DropaSound takes abuse of the DMCA takedown process seriously. Any person who submits fraudulent takedown notices or uses the DMCA process to harass users may be reported to the relevant authorities and may be liable for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
