DMCA Copyright Takedown Policy

DMCA Policy

Kotagirl.com operates as an online classified listing and advertising platform where users may submit listings and other content. Kotagirl.com respects copyright and other intellectual property rights and may respond to properly submitted notices of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with applicable law.

Who May Submit a Notice

• A copyright owner may submit a copyright infringement notice concerning their original work.
• An authorized representative or agent may submit a notice on behalf of a copyright owner.
• If you are not the copyright owner or an authorized representative, you should not submit a DMCA notice claiming ownership of another person’s work.

Required DMCA Notice Information

To help Kotagirl.com process a copyright complaint, a written notice should include the information required by applicable law, including the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
• Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, provide a representative list where appropriate.
• Identification of the material that you claim is infringing and enough information for Kotagirl.com to locate the material, such as the listing URL, page URL, listing ID, account name, or other identifying information.
• Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner’s agent, or applicable law.
• A statement that the information contained in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

Review of Copyright Complaints

• Kotagirl.com may review submitted copyright complaints to determine whether the notice contains sufficient information to identify the claimed infringement.
• Where appropriate, Kotagirl.com may remove, disable access to, restrict, or otherwise address allegedly infringing material.
• Kotagirl.com may request additional information when a notice is incomplete, unclear, or does not provide enough information to identify the material at issue.
• Submitting a DMCA notice does not guarantee that material will be removed. Kotagirl.com may consider applicable law, available information, and the circumstances of the complaint.

Counter-Notification

If you believe that material removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification, you may be able to submit a counter-notification where applicable law provides for that procedure.

• A counter-notification should identify the material that was removed or disabled and provide enough information for Kotagirl.com to identify the material.
• The counter-notification should include the required contact information and statements applicable to a valid counter-notification.
• The counter-notification should include a physical or electronic signature of the submitting user.
• Kotagirl.com may forward a valid counter-notification to the original complaining party where required or permitted by applicable law.
• Material may be restored where appropriate under applicable law and the circumstances of the complaint.

False or Abusive Notices

• DMCA procedures must not be used to intentionally remove lawful content, harass another person, interfere with legitimate competition, or make false copyright claims.
• Submitting materially false or misleading information in a copyright complaint may expose the submitting party to legal consequences.
• Kotagirl.com may restrict or take action against accounts that repeatedly abuse copyright reporting procedures or submit knowingly fraudulent complaints.

Repeat Infringement

Kotagirl.com may, where appropriate and consistent with applicable law, restrict, suspend, or terminate accounts or users that repeatedly post material that is determined to infringe copyright or who repeatedly violate the platform’s intellectual property policies.

User-Submitted Content

• Users are responsible for ensuring that they have the necessary rights, permissions, licenses, or other legal authorization to upload and publish content on Kotagirl.com.
• Users must not upload copyrighted photographs, text, videos, logos, graphics, or other protected material without appropriate authorization.
• Kotagirl.com may remove or restrict user-submitted material when it receives a valid copyright complaint or otherwise becomes aware of a potential intellectual property violation.

Third-Party Rights

A DMCA notice should concern copyright infringement. Complaints involving trademarks, privacy rights, impersonation, defamation, personal information, or other legal issues may require a different reporting process. For general legal, safety, privacy, or administrative reports, contact admin@kotagirl.com.

DMCA Designated Agent

If Kotagirl.com intends to rely on the DMCA safe-harbor provisions applicable to qualifying service providers, the operator should maintain the required designated-agent information with the U.S. Copyright Office and make the required information publicly available. The Copyright Office requires qualifying service providers to designate an agent electronically and keep the designation current.

Changes to This Policy

Kotagirl.com may update this DMCA Copyright Takedown Policy from time to time to reflect changes in applicable law, platform procedures, technical systems, or copyright-management practices.
