Velvetiere respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we have implemented a policy for responding to claims of copyright infringement. This policy outlines the procedures we follow to address any alleged copyright violations on our website, www.velvetiere.com.

1. Notification of Infringement Claims: If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used or copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on this website, please notify our designated Copyright Agent in writing. The notification must include the following information:

  • A physical or electronic signature of the person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright.
  • A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
  • A description of where the material that you claim is infringing is located on the website.
  • Your address, telephone number, and email address.
  • A statement by you that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  • A statement by you, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the copyright owner’s behalf.

2. Our Response: Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notification, we will:

  • Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  • Notify the user who posted the material that we have removed or disabled access to it.
  • Terminate the accounts of repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances.

3. Counter-Notification: If you believe that the material you posted was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification with our Copyright Agent. The counter-notification must include the following information:

  • Your physical or electronic signature.
  • Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location where the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
  • A statement by you, 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.
  • Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or in the district where our headquarters are located if you are outside the United States) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

4. Restoration of Material: If a counter-notification is received by the Copyright Agent, we may restore the removed material or cease disabling access to it within 10 to 14 business days following receipt of the counter-notification unless the original complainant files a court action seeking an order to prevent the infringing activity.

5. Designated Copyright Agent: All DMCA notifications and counter-notifications should be sent to our designated Copyright Agent at the following contact details:

Email: [email protected]

6. Repeat Infringers: In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the website and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

Conclusion: We take copyright infringement seriously and will respond promptly to notices of alleged infringement that comply with the DMCA. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact our designated Copyright Agent.
