DMCA Policy

"Sma Type 1" respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of responding to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA and other applicable laws.

This policy describes the information that should be present in a DMCA takedown notice and how users can file a counter-notification if their content has been removed due to a mistake or misidentification.

Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you are a copyright owner or an agent thereof and believe that any content hosted on "Sma Type 1" infringes upon your copyrights, you may submit a notification pursuant to the DMCA by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3) for further detail):

Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit "Sma Type 1" to locate the material (e.g., URL of the specific content).
Information reasonably sufficient to permit "Sma Type 1" to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an electronic mail address at which the complaining party may be contacted.
A statement that the complaining party has 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.
A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, "Sma Type 1" will take whatever action, in its sole discretion, it deems appropriate, including removal of the challenged content from the site.

Filing a Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with "Sma Type 1" by providing our Copyright Agent with the following information in writing (see 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3) for further detail):

Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (e.g., URL) at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
Your name, address, and telephone number.
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 of the United States, for any judicial district in which "Sma Type 1" 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.
Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, "Sma Type 1" will send a copy of the counter-notification to the original complaining party informing them that "Sma Type 1" may replace the removed content or cease disabling access to it in 10 business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider, member, or user, the removed content may be replaced, or access to it restored, in 10 to 14 business days or more after receipt of the counter-notification, at "Sma Type 1"'s sole discretion.
