Copyright / DMCA Policy

TradeFile respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and comparable laws. This Policy explains how to submit a takedown notice and a counter-notice.

Designated agent

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

• Agent: Sascha
• Email: [email protected]
• Postal address: 1948 1st Ave, San Diego, CA 92101

Filing a takedown notice

To be effective, your written notice must include:

• your physical or electronic signature;
• identification of the copyrighted work you claim was infringed;
• identification of the material claimed to be infringing and enough information for us to locate it (e.g. the gate URL);
• your contact information (name, address, email, phone);
• a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
• a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

On receiving a valid notice, we will remove or disable access to the material and make a reasonable effort to notify the affected user.

Counter-notice

If you believe your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to the agent above including: your signature; identification of the removed material and its prior location; a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake; your contact information; and your consent to the jurisdiction of an appropriate court. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our discretion, disable or terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We track and act on repeated valid notices against the same account.

Misuse

Knowingly submitting a materially false notice or counter-notice may result in liability. If you are unsure whether material is infringing, consult a lawyer before filing.
