DMCA Policy at Usafantastic.com: Protecting Intellectual Property

At Usafantastic.com, we respect the intellectual property rights of artists, designers, and content creators. We are committed to complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and other applicable copyright laws. This policy outlines our procedures for handling copyright infringement claims related to our print-on-demand (POD) services.

What is the DMCA?

The DMCA is a United States copyright law that provides guidelines for online service providers to address copyright infringement. It establishes a “safe harbor” provision that protects service providers from liability if they follow specific procedures to remove infringing material.

Reporting Copyright Infringement:

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been reproduced, distributed, or displayed on our platform without your permission, please submit a DMCA takedown notice to our designated agent. Your notice must include the following information:

• Identification: Clearly identify the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. Provide specific details such as the title, author, and any relevant registration information.
• Location: Identify the specific location on our website where the allegedly infringing material is located. Provide URLs or other clear identifiers.
• Contact Information: Provide your name, address, telephone number, and email address so we can communicate with you.
• Statement of Good Faith Belief: State that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• Statement Under Penalty of Perjury: State that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
• Signature: Provide your electronic or physical signature.

Our Response:

Upon receiving a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will promptly investigate the claim and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing material. We will notify the user who posted the material of the takedown and inform them of their right to submit a counter-notification.

Counter-Notification:

If you believe your material was removed in error, you have the right to submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include specific information outlined in the DMCA.

Repeat Infringer Policy:

We have a zero-tolerance policy for repeat infringers. Users who repeatedly violate copyright laws may have their accounts terminated.
