# DMCA Policy

Copyright Infringement Complaints Under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act

Transient Labs respects the intellectual property rights of others. It is our policy to respond promptly to any claim that Content posted on the Site infringes the copyright or other intellectual property rights of any person. Transient Labs will use reasonable efforts to investigate notices of alleged infringement and will take appropriate action under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and these Terms, including removing or disabling access to Content claimed to be infringing and/or terminating accounts and access to the Site.

## What is the DMCA?

The DMCA provides a process for a copyright owner to give notification to an online service provider concerning alleged copyright infringement. When an **effective** DMCA notification is received, the online service provider responds under this process by taking down the offending content.

## What is an Effective Notice?

An Effective Notice **MUST** have all of the following:

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, a representative list of such works at that site.
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, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material. **Providing URLs in the body of your DMCA notification is the best way to help us locate content quickly.**
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you (the complaining party), such as an address, telephone number, and an electronic mail address at which you (the complaining party) may be contacted.
5. A statement that you (the complaining party) have 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 you (the complaining party) are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
7. **(Optional)** Provide information, if possible, sufficient to permit us to notify the user(s) who posted the content that allegedly contains infringing material.

## The Counter-Notification Procedure

On taking down content under the DMCA, we take reasonable steps to contact the Artist responsible for minting the removed content so that a Counter-Notification may be filed if applicable. After receiving a valid Counter-Notification, we generally restore the content in question, unless we receive notice from the DMCA Notice provider that a legal action has been filed seeking a court order to restrain the alleged infringer from engaging in the infringing activity.

## Disclaimer

Any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or an activity is infringing or that any material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, shall be liable to us for any damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees incurred by us in removing or disabling access to the material or activity claimed to be infringing or in replacing the removed material or enabling access to it.
