Designated Agent for Copyright Claims

Address: 75 E 3rd St, Sheridan, WY 82801, United States

Email: contact@projectvilgatekaivenmorrick.com

Subject Line: DMCA Notice / Copyright Infringement Claim

Please note that the contact information above is intended solely for receiving copyright infringement notices. Other types of inquiries, including customer support requests, general business communications, or unrelated legal matters, will not be processed through this channel and may be ignored or redirected.

 

4. Filing a Notice of Alleged Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe that copyrighted material has been used or made available on the Website or through the Services in a manner that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a DMCA Notice to the Designated Agent. To be effective under the DMCA, your notice must include all of the following elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

2. 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.

3. 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. This must include sufficient information to permit the Company to locate the material, such as the specific URL, file name, or other unique identifier.

4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit the Company to contact the Complainant, including a full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that the Complainant 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.

6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that the Complainant is authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Failure to include all of the above elements may result in the notice being deemed defective and ineffective under the DMCA. The Company may, but is not required to, contact the Complainant for clarification or supplemental information.

Notices should be submitted by email to contact@projectvilgatekaivenmorrick.com with the subject line "DMCA Notice / Copyright Infringement Claim." For urgent matters or where email delivery is not possible, written notices may also be sent by postal mail to the address of the Designated Agent.

 

5. False or Misleading DMCA Notices

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees incurred by the alleged infringer, the copyright owner or licensee, and the Company. Accordingly, before submitting a DMCA Notice:

•        The Complainant should consider whether the use complained of may qualify as fair use, fair dealing, or another applicable limitation or exception to copyright.

•        The Complainant should ensure that they own or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the rights at issue.

•        The Complainant should accurately identify the allegedly infringing material to avoid mistaken takedowns.

•        The Complainant should not use the DMCA process for purposes of harassment, competitive interference, or to suppress lawful content.

The Company reserves the right to refuse to act on, or to dispute, any DMCA Notice that appears to be defective, abusive, or submitted in bad faith. The Company may also share information about abusive notices with affected Users and relevant third parties.

 

6. Response to a Valid DMCA Notice

Upon receipt of a notice that substantially complies with the DMCA requirements, the Company will take the following actions, generally within a commercially reasonable timeframe:

•        Review the notice for completeness and apparent validity.

•        Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material, or take such other action as may be appropriate.

•        Notify the User responsible for the material, where applicable, of the removal and provide a copy of the notice.

•        Maintain a record of the notice and the Company's response for the period required by applicable law.

•        Repeat the process for any further notices received with respect to the same User.

The Company is not obligated to evaluate the merits of any DMCA Notice and will generally rely on the representations made by the Complainant under penalty of perjury. However, the Company reserves the right to investigate any notice and to refuse to act on notices that appear to be invalid or abusive.

The Company may also, in its sole discretion and without prior notice, take additional action against the User responsible for the material, including suspension or termination of the User's Account.

 

7. Counter-Notification Procedure

If you believe that material removed or disabled in response to a DMCA Notice was removed or disabled by mistake, misidentification, or other error, you may submit a Counter-Notice to the Designated Agent. To be effective under the DMCA, your Counter-Notice must include all of the following elements:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.

2. Identification of the material that was removed or to which access was disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled (such as the URL or other identifier).

3. 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.

4. Your full name, postal address, telephone number, and email address.

5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the United States 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 the Company may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the Complainant or its agent.

Counter-Notices should be submitted by email to contact@projectvilgatekaivenmorrick.com with the subject line "DMCA Counter-Notice." For matters where email delivery is not possible, written Counter-Notices may also be sent by postal mail to the address of the Designated Agent.

 

8. False Statements in Counter-Notices

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. Before submitting a Counter-Notice, you should:

•        Carefully consider whether you have a good faith belief that the material was removed in error.

•        Be prepared to defend your use of the material in court if necessary.

•        Consult with an attorney if you are unsure of your legal rights.

•        Provide accurate and complete information in your Counter-Notice.

The Company may refuse to process Counter-Notices that appear to be defective, fraudulent, or submitted in bad faith.

 

9. Response to a Valid Counter-Notice

Upon receipt of a Counter-Notice that substantially complies with the DMCA requirements, the Company will:

•        Promptly forward a copy of the Counter-Notice to the original Complainant.

•        Inform the Complainant that the removed material may be restored within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the Counter-Notice unless the Complainant files a lawsuit seeking a court order restraining the User from engaging in infringing activity related to the material.

•        Restore or re-enable access to the material between the tenth (10th) and fourteenth (14th) business days after receipt of the Counter-Notice, unless the Designated Agent first receives notice from the Complainant that they have filed an action seeking such a court order.

•        Maintain a record of the Counter-Notice and related communications for the period required by applicable law.

The Company is not obligated to evaluate the merits of any Counter-Notice and will generally rely on the representations made by the User under penalty of perjury. The Company is not a party to disputes between Complainants and Users and does not provide legal advice or representation to either party.

 

10. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and equivalent laws, the Company has adopted and reasonably implements a policy that provides for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of the Accounts of Users who are repeat infringers of copyright.

A User may be considered a repeat infringer if:

•        Two or more valid DMCA Notices, or notices under equivalent foreign laws, have been received against the User.

•        The User has displayed a pattern of disregard for the intellectual property rights of others.

•        The User has otherwise demonstrated a substantial likelihood of continuing infringement.

Upon a determination that a User is a repeat infringer, the Company may, in its sole discretion and without further notice:

•        Terminate the User's Account permanently.

•        Revoke licenses to previously purchased Digital Products.

•        Refuse future Orders or transactions from the User.

•        Block the User's access to the Services using available technical means.

•        Report the User's conduct to relevant authorities or affected third parties.

The determination of repeat infringement is made on a case-by-case basis, considering the totality of the circumstances, including the validity of the notices, the nature and severity of the alleged infringements, and any Counter-Notices submitted.

 

11. European Union Notice and Action Procedures

For Users in the European Union, the Company complies with applicable EU laws regarding intermediary liability and notice-and-action mechanisms, including the EU Directive on Electronic Commerce (Directive 2000/31/EC), the Digital Services Act (Regulation (EU) 2022/2065), and the Directive on Copyright in the Digital Single Market (Directive (EU) 2019/790).

Copyright owners in the European Union may submit notices of alleged infringement using the same procedure described above for DMCA Notices. Notices should include:

•        A clear identification of the infringing material and its location.

•        Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed.

•        Information sufficient to contact the notifying party.

•        A statement that the notifying party has a good faith belief that the use is unauthorized.

•        A statement that the information in the notice is accurate.

Users who receive a notification of removal may submit a counter-notice using the procedure described above. The Company will consider counter-notices in accordance with the applicable provisions of EU law.

 

12. Other International Considerations

The Company endeavors to respect copyright laws of other jurisdictions where applicable. Copyright owners outside the United States and the European Union may submit notices of alleged infringement using the same procedure described above. Notices should include sufficient information to identify the work, the alleged infringer, the basis of the claim under applicable law, and the contact information of the notifying party.

The Company evaluates international notices in good faith but is not obligated to act on any notice that does not substantially comply with applicable law or that appears to be invalid, abusive, or unenforceable.

 

13. Confidentiality and Privacy

Information submitted in connection with DMCA Notices or Counter-Notices may be shared with affected parties as necessary to process the notice, including:

•        Forwarding the Notice or Counter-Notice to the relevant party.

•        Providing copies of communications to legal counsel, regulatory authorities, or courts.

•        Disclosing information as required by court order or legal process.

•        Sharing information with third-party services involved in the dispute, such as hosting providers or payment processors.

Personal data submitted in connection with DMCA procedures is processed in accordance with our Privacy Policy. By submitting a Notice or Counter-Notice, you consent to this processing and sharing.

The Company may also publish or share non-personal information about DMCA Notices, such as statistics or transparency reports, in accordance with applicable law and industry best practices.

 

14. Protection of the Company's Own Intellectual Property

In addition to responding to claims from third parties, the Company actively protects its own intellectual property rights. The Company's Digital Products, Content, software, designs, trademarks, logos, and other materials are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. Unauthorized use, reproduction, distribution, or modification of these materials may result in:

•        Termination of access to the Services and revocation of licenses.

•        Civil legal action for injunctive relief, damages, and attorneys' fees.

•        Statutory damages under applicable copyright laws.

•        Criminal prosecution where applicable.

•        Notification to third parties, including payment processors and search engines.

If you become aware of any unauthorized use of the Company's intellectual property, please report it to contact@projectvilgatekaivenmorrick.com. The Company appreciates the assistance of Users and the public in protecting its rights.

 

15. Modifications to Content

In some cases, the Company may choose, at its sole discretion, to modify or remove allegedly infringing content rather than disable access entirely. Such modifications may include:

•        Editing or redacting portions of the content.

•        Replacing the content with a notice of removal.

•        Adding attribution, licensing notes, or other contextual information.

•        Limiting access to specific geographic regions where the content is alleged to infringe.

These modifications do not constitute admissions of infringement and are made solely to address claims efficiently while respecting both parties' rights.

 

16. Records Retention

The Company maintains records of DMCA Notices, Counter-Notices, related communications, and enforcement actions for the period required by applicable law, typically not less than three (3) years. These records are used for:

•        Compliance with the DMCA safe harbor provisions and equivalent foreign laws.

•        Verification of repeat infringer status.

•        Defense against legal claims.

•        Response to legal, regulatory, or law enforcement inquiries.

•        Audit and transparency reporting purposes.

 

17. No Legal Advice

The information in this Policy is provided for general informational purposes only and does not constitute legal advice. Copyright laws are complex and vary significantly by jurisdiction. If you are uncertain about whether your use of material constitutes infringement, or whether you have grounds to submit a DMCA Notice or Counter-Notice, you should consult with a qualified attorney.

The Company is not a party to disputes between Complainants and alleged infringers and does not represent either party. The Company's role is limited to receiving and processing notices in accordance with applicable law.

 

18. Cooperation with Law Enforcement

The Company cooperates with law enforcement and judicial authorities in investigations of copyright infringement and related offenses. The Company may, in its discretion or upon receipt of a valid legal request:

•        Preserve and produce records related to alleged infringement, including Account information, transaction details, and communications.

•        Disclose User information as required by law, regulation, court order, or governmental request.

•        Take action to prevent ongoing infringement or further violations.

•        Provide assistance to affected third parties in seeking remedies.

Where permitted by law, the Company may notify the affected User of legal requests for their information. Where notification is prohibited or impracticable, the Company will comply without prior notice.

 

19. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the Company shall not be liable for any damages, losses, or claims arising from:

•        Removal or restoration of content in response to DMCA Notices or Counter-Notices.

•        Termination or suspension of User Accounts for alleged repeat infringement.

•        Disclosure of information in response to valid legal requests.

•        Errors, omissions, or delays in processing notices.

•        Reliance on the representations of Complainants or Counter-Notifiers.

The full limitation of liability is set forth in our Terms of Service.

 

20. Indemnification

By submitting a DMCA Notice or Counter-Notice, you agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless Storifayo LLC, its officers, directors, employees, agents, affiliates, licensors, suppliers, and successors from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, losses, costs, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or related to:

•        Any false, misleading, or fraudulent statements contained in the Notice or Counter-Notice.

•        Update the "Effective Date" at the top of this Policy.

•        Post the revised Policy on the Website.

•        Provide additional notice for material changes affecting User rights, where required by law.

Continued use of the Services after changes become effective constitutes acceptance of the updated Policy.

 

22. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Policy is governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the United States, including the DMCA, and the laws of the State of Wyoming, without regard to its conflict of law principles. Any disputes arising out of or related to this Policy shall be resolved in accordance with the dispute resolution provisions of our Terms of Service.

For Users located in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or other jurisdictions with mandatory laws addressing intermediary liability and copyright enforcement, nothing in this Policy deprives you of the protections afforded by the mandatory provisions of those laws.

 

23. Severability

If any provision of this Policy is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. The invalid provision shall be modified to the minimum extent necessary to make it enforceable, consistent with the original intent.
