DMCA

1. Purpose of This Policy

This policy provides a process for copyright owners and authorized representatives to notify Elaseil about content they believe infringes their copyright rights.

The purpose of the process is to provide sufficient information for Elaseil to identify the copyrighted work, locate the allegedly infringing material, understand the basis of the complaint, and determine what action may be appropriate.

This policy applies specifically to copyright-related complaints. Other intellectual property concerns, including trademark or design-related claims, may be submitted through our Intellectual Property Claim process.

2. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice?

A copyright infringement notification should generally be submitted by the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you are submitting a notice for another individual, company, or organization, please explain your authority to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Notices submitted by parties who have no connection to the copyright owner may not provide sufficient grounds for action.

3. Copyrighted Material Covered

Copyright may protect original creative works such as photographs, illustrations, written content, graphics, videos, artwork, and other qualifying creative materials.

A DMCA notice should identify the specific copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed and explain where the allegedly infringing material can be found on the Elaseil website.

4. Information to Include in a DMCA Notice

To help us review your notice efficiently, please include as much of the following information as reasonably available:

1. Your full name and contact information.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
3. If multiple works are involved, a representative list of those works.
4. Identification of the specific material that you believe is infringing.
5. The exact webpage or location where the allegedly infringing material can be found.
6. Information sufficient for Elaseil to understand why you believe the material infringes your copyright.
7. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
8. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner where applicable.
9. Your electronic or physical signature, where required for a valid notice.

5. How to Submit a DMCA Notice

6. Review of DMCA Notices

After receiving a copyright complaint, Elaseil may review the information provided to determine whether the notice identifies the copyrighted work, the allegedly infringing material, and the basis of the complaint with reasonable clarity.

We may contact the reporting party if additional information is necessary to understand or evaluate the claim.

Depending on the circumstances, Elaseil may restrict access to, remove, or otherwise address reported material when appropriate.

A submitted notice does not automatically establish that copyright infringement has occurred. Elaseil may consider the information presented and any relevant response before determining appropriate action.

7. Temporary Restriction or Removal

In appropriate circumstances, Elaseil may temporarily restrict access to reported content while a copyright complaint is being reviewed.

Any temporary action may depend on the nature of the complaint, the information provided, the location of the material, and other relevant circumstances.

Restricting or removing content during a review does not necessarily constitute a final legal determination regarding the validity of the copyright claim.

8. Counter-Notification

If material has been removed or restricted because of a copyright complaint, the affected party may contact Elaseil to provide information explaining why the material should remain available or be restored.

A response should identify the affected material and provide sufficient information for Elaseil to understand the basis of the objection.

Depending on the circumstances and applicable law, additional information may be required before any restoration or further action is considered.

9. Good-Faith Requirement

Copyright complaints should be submitted in good faith. Before submitting a notice, the reporting party should reasonably consider whether the use may be authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, a license, applicable law, or another valid legal basis.

Notices should not be submitted simply to remove content that is disliked, commercially competitive, inconvenient, or otherwise unrelated to a legitimate copyright concern.

10. Supporting Documentation

Supporting information can help Elaseil understand the claim. Depending on the circumstances, useful documentation may include evidence of ownership, registration information, original publication details, licensing information, or other relevant records.

Please provide only information reasonably necessary to support the claim and avoid sending unnecessary sensitive personal information.

11. Multiple Copyrighted Works

If a single notification concerns multiple copyrighted works, please identify each work clearly or provide a representative list when appropriate.

Each reported item should be described sufficiently for Elaseil to determine what material is being challenged and why the reporting party believes it infringes a protected work.

12. Third-Party Material

Some content displayed or processed through an online store may originate from third-party services, suppliers, partners, or other sources.

If your complaint concerns material associated with a third party, please identify the material clearly and explain the copyright interest involved. Elaseil may review the complaint and determine what action is appropriate based on the circumstances.

13. Repeat Infringement

Where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, Elaseil may consider measures concerning repeated copyright infringement involving the website or its services.

Any action may depend on the facts of the situation, the reliability of submitted notices, the nature of the alleged infringement, and other relevant circumstances.

14. No Guarantee of Immediate Action

Elaseil cannot guarantee that every copyright complaint will result in the removal or restriction of reported content.

We may require additional information, determine that a complaint is incomplete, conclude that the material cannot be adequately identified, or determine that additional review is appropriate before taking action.

15. Copyright Ownership Disputes

Elaseil is not generally able to resolve complex disputes concerning ownership of copyrighted material between independent parties.

If two or more parties claim competing ownership interests, the parties may need to resolve the underlying dispute directly or through an appropriate legal process.

16. Privacy Considerations

Information submitted in connection with a copyright complaint may be used to evaluate and respond to the claim. Depending on the circumstances, certain information may need to be shared with relevant parties or service providers in connection with handling the complaint.

Claimants should avoid including unnecessary sensitive information in a copyright notice.

17. Changes to This DMCA Policy

Elaseil may update this DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in website operations, copyright procedures, or applicable legal requirements.

Any updated version will become effective when posted on the website unless another effective date is stated.

18. Contact Elaseil for Copyright Claims

Copyright infringement notifications and related copyright concerns should be submitted by email with enough information for our team to identify the relevant work and material.

19. Final Statement

Elaseil respects copyright ownership and is committed to reviewing legitimate copyright concerns in a responsible manner. Clear, accurate, and specific notices help us identify the relevant material and understand the basis of a complaint.

If you believe that copyrighted material has been used on the Elaseil website without appropriate authorization, please contact support@elaseil.com with the relevant information so that the matter can be reviewed.
