DMCA Policy

StormLock respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. This DMCA Policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement notices and counter-notifications in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act.

1. Takedown Process

1.1 Filing a DMCA Notice

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized agent
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing, with sufficient detail to locate it
• Your contact information (address, telephone number, and email)
• A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner
• A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on their behalf

1.2 StormLock's Automated Process

When you register content with StormLock, our platform automates the DMCA takedown process on your behalf. Our system:

• Generates compliant DMCA notices based on detected infringements
• Files notices directly with platform-specific abuse departments
• Tracks the status of each notice through to resolution
• Escalates unresolved cases through legal channels when necessary

2. Counter-Notification

2.1 Filing a Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed in error or that you have authorization to use the material, you may file a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
• A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
• Your name, address, and telephone number
• A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district
• A statement that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice

2.2 Processing Counter-Notifications

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, StormLock will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, the removed material may be restored.

3. Repeat Infringers

StormLock maintains a repeat infringer policy. Users who repeatedly infringe copyrights may have their accounts terminated. We track and report repeat offenders to relevant platforms and authorities.

4. Designated Agent

DMCA notices and counter-notifications should be sent to our designated agent:

StormLock DMCA Agent
Email: [email protected]
Subject line: "DMCA Notice" or "DMCA Counter-Notification"

5. Good Faith Requirement

Please note that under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that it was removed by mistake, may be subject to liability for damages.
