DMCA / COPYRIGHT POLICY

2. REPORTING COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT

If you are a copyright owner (or authorized to act on behalf of a copyright owner) and believe that any content on or accessible through the BetterAuth platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a written DMCA takedown notice to our designated DMCA Agent.

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA notice, we will:

• Take reasonable steps to promptly notify the affected user that material has been removed or access has been disabled.
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
• Maintain a record of all DMCA notices received and actions taken.

We reserve the right to reject or ignore incomplete or invalid DMCA notices.

3. DMCA TAKEDOWN NOTICE REQUIREMENTS

To be valid, your DMCA takedown notice must include the following elements:

1. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, provide a representative list.
2. Identification of the infringing material — including the specific URL, application name, or other sufficient detail to allow us to locate the material on our platform.
3. Your contact information — including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
4. A statement of good faith — "I have a good faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law."
5. A statement of accuracy — "I swear, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate, and that I am the copyright owner or am authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed."
6. Your physical or electronic signature.

4. COUNTER-NOTIFICATION PROCEDURE

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled as a result of a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. To be valid, your counter-notification must include:

1. Identification of the removed material and the location where it previously appeared.
2. A statement under penalty of perjury — "I 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."
3. Consent to jurisdiction — A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district (or the district where your address is located, if outside the United States), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original DMCA notice.
4. Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement consenting to jurisdiction.
5. Your physical or electronic signature.

Send counter-notifications to: [email protected]

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complaining party. If the copyright owner does not file a court action within 10–14 business days, we will restore the removed material.

5. REPEAT INFRINGER POLICY

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, BetterAuth has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

A "repeat infringer" is a user who has been subject to two or more valid DMCA takedown notices. We will:

• Maintain a record of all valid DMCA notices associated with each account.
• Issue a warning after the first valid notice.
• Suspend or permanently terminate the account after the second valid notice, depending on the severity of the infringement.

We also reserve the right to terminate accounts immediately in cases of egregious or willful infringement, regardless of prior history.

6. DMCA AGENT

All DMCA notices, counter-notifications, and copyright-related inquiries should be directed to our designated DMCA Agent:

• Email: [email protected]
• Response time: We aim to acknowledge receipt within 2 business days.
• Language: Notices must be in English.
