Copyright & DMCA Policy

1. Our commitment to copyright

[COMPANY LEGAL NAME] ("SnapTransfer," "we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the people who use our service to do the same. SnapTransfer hosts files uploaded by its users and generates share and download links for those files; we do not review or monitor that content in advance. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998, 17 U.S.C. § 512 (the "DMCA"), we respond expeditiously to valid notices of claimed infringement and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to material we host. This policy explains how to report copyright infringement, how an affected user may respond, and how we treat repeat infringers. It supplements our Terms of Service and Acceptable Use Policy.

2. Filing a DMCA takedown notice

If you are a copyright owner, or are authorised to act on behalf of one, and you believe that material accessible through SnapTransfer infringes your copyright, you may send a written notification of claimed infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent (see Section 3). To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)(A), your notice must include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised 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 at a single online site 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 to which access is to be disabled, together with information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — for example, the SnapTransfer share URL or download link.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as your name, mailing address, telephone number, and an email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised 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 are authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Please note that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) you may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, if you knowingly materially misrepresent that material is infringing. If you are unsure whether the material is protected by copyright or whether a use is infringing, you may wish to consult an attorney before submitting a notice.

3. Designated Copyright Agent

Notices of claimed infringement and counter-notifications should be sent to our Designated Copyright Agent at the contact details below:

• Agent: [DMCA AGENT NAME]
• Mailing address: [DMCA AGENT MAILING ADDRESS]
• Email: dmca@snaptransfer.app

To speed processing, email is preferred. Please use this contact only for copyright matters under this policy; unrelated requests sent here may not receive a timely response.

4. What happens after we receive a notice

When we receive a notice that substantially complies with the requirements of Section 2, we will act expeditiously to remove, or disable access to, the material identified in the notice. We may also, at our discretion, take down associated share or download links and suspend the transfer to which the material belongs. We will make a reasonable effort to notify the user who uploaded the material that it has been removed or disabled, and we will provide that user with a copy of the takedown notice (which may include your contact information) so that they may submit a counter-notification if they choose. If a notice does not substantially comply with Section 2, we may be unable to act on it and may contact you to request a corrected notice.

5. Filing a counter-notification

If you are a user whose material has been removed or disabled and you believe the removal was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a written counter-notification to our Designated Copyright Agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
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 to be removed or disabled.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which SnapTransfer may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or an agent of that person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will promptly forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. Unless that party notifies us within 10 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, in not less than 10 nor more than 14 business days following our receipt of your counter-notification.

As with takedown notices, knowingly materially misrepresenting that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may expose you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).

6. Repeat infringers

It is SnapTransfer's policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to disable and terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to the service or remove content for any user who, in our judgement, repeatedly uploads or shares infringing material, regardless of whether a formal notice has been received for every instance.

7. Misrepresentation and liability

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages — including costs and attorneys' fees — incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or its authorised licensee, or by us, as a result of our reliance on the misrepresentation. Please do not submit a takedown notice or counter-notification unless you are confident in the accuracy of its contents.

8. Changes to this policy

We may update this Copyright & DMCA Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or in applicable law. When we do, we will revise the "Last updated" date shown at the top of this page. Your continued use of SnapTransfer after a change becomes effective constitutes acceptance of the revised policy.
