DMCA Removal Policy

At techyvers.com, we take copyright protection seriously. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we provide a process for copyright holders to notify us about material they believe infringes on their copyrights. This DMCA Removal Policy outlines how to submit a complaint and what to expect from us in return.

By accessing or using this site, users agree to comply with this policy and all applicable copyright laws. We respect the intellectual property rights of others, and we expect our users to do the same.

📘 What Is the DMCA?

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a United States law enacted in 1998 to address the rights and responsibilities of online service providers and users in relation to copyrighted content. It offers a legal pathway for copyright holders to request the removal of content they believe is being used unlawfully online.

If you believe that content hosted on techyvers.com infringes your copyright, you can submit a takedown request under the DMCA.

🔍 What Content Can Be Reported?

You may submit a DMCA takedown request if you believe that:

Your original images, videos, text, or designs are being used without permission.
Your content has been reposted, copied, or shared without a license or proper credit.
Someone is using your intellectual property in a way that violates your copyright.

Please note: The DMCA does not apply to content that falls under fair use, public domain, or licensed materials. If you’re unsure whether something qualifies, you may wish to consult a legal expert before proceeding.

📝 How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice

To file a valid DMCA removal request, you must send a written notice that includes all of the following elements. Incomplete requests may be ignored or delayed.

Your DMCA Notice Must Include:

Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
A detailed description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, you may provide a list.
The exact URL(s) or location on our website where the infringing material appears. A general site link is insufficient.
A statement such as: “I have a good faith belief that the disputed use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.”
A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that: “The information in this notification is accurate and I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner.”
Your electronic or physical signature.

⚖️ What Happens After You Submit a Takedown Request for DMCA Removal?

Once we receive a valid DMCA notice:

We review the request. If all necessary information is provided, we typically respond within 48–72 business hours.
We may temporarily remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content while we investigate.
We notify the content uploader (if applicable), giving them an opportunity to respond via a counter-notification.
If a valid counter-notification is received, we may restore the content unless you file a court action within 10 business days.
All actions are documented and may be shared with legal authorities if required.

🔄 Counter-Notification Process for DMCA Removal

If you are a user and believe your content was removed in error (e.g., it qualifies as fair use or you have permission to use it), you may file a counter-notification. Your counter-notice must include:

Your name, address, phone number, and email.
Identification of the material and its location prior to removal.
A statement under penalty of perjury: “I believe in good faith that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.”
A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of your local U.S. Federal District Court, or if outside the U.S., agreeing to the jurisdiction of the courts in [Your Company’s Location].
Your physical or electronic signature.

Send your counter-notice to the same email or postal address as above. If no legal action is taken by the complainant within 10 business days, we may reinstate the content.

🚫 Misuse of the DMCA

Filing a false DMCA notice or counter-notice may result in legal liability. Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, you may be held responsible for damages (including costs and attorney’s fees) if you knowingly misrepresent that content is infringing or was removed in error.

Please make sure:

You own the rights or are authorized to act on behalf of the rights holder.
The claim you’re making is made in good faith.
You understand that your contact details may be shared with the content poster.

🔒 Privacy & Confidentiality for DMCA Removal

In accordance with the DMCA, we may forward your complaint to the alleged infringer. This means your name, email address, and the content of your report may be shared with them. We do not publicly post or share DMCA complaints unless required by law.

If you are concerned about your privacy, you may use an authorized agent or legal representative to submit on your behalf.

📌 Important Notes for DMCA Removal

We are not a law firm and cannot offer legal advice.
Submitting a DMCA notice does not guarantee immediate removal.
We process claims during normal business hours only.
If the content is hosted by a third party (e.g., embedded YouTube videos, social media posts), you may need to report the infringement directly to the hosting platform.

🤝 Respect for Copyright

We believe in supporting creators and protecting intellectual property. Our platform is designed for fair use, educational resources, and original work. We are committed to a safe and legal digital environment for everyone.

If you believe your rights have been violated, don’t hesitate to contact us. We’ll handle your request with urgency, fairness, and transparency.
