QWAQQ COPYRIGHT POLICY

Is there an infringement?

qWaqq encourages copyright owners to notify qWaqq of any content that is in violation of their copyright. If you are a copyright owner or an agent authorized to act on the owner’s behalf, and you believe your copyrighted work has been posted on qWaqq without authorization, you may submit a copyright infringement notification by following the directions below.

If you're not sure whether the content you're reporting is infringing your legal rights, you may want to seek legal advice and consider whether fair use applies. Intentionally misleading reports of infringement may be punishable under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”).

How do I issue a takedown notice?

To submit a notice of claimed copyright infringement to our Designated Agent (as defined below), the DMCA requires you to provide us with the following information:

Your complete contact information (full name, email address, mailing address, and phone number). We will provide your contact information and/or the contents of your report to the person who posted the content you are reporting.
A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed.
A description of the content on our site that you claim infringes your copyright and the location of the material on our service (including a URL or screen shot).
A statement that you have a good faith belief that use of the copyrighted content described above, in the manner you have complained of, is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
A statement that the information in your notice is accurate.
A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive copyright that is allegedly infringed.

What happens next?

Once we receive a bona fide copyright infringement notification in accordance with the above procedures, it is our policy to:

Remove or disable access to the infringing content;
Notify the alleged infringing content provider that the material has been removed or disabled and provide them with the notifying party’s contact information (including email address, the name of their organization, and/or the contents of their report); and
Terminate repeat offenders’ access to qWaqq.

If the content provider believes that the content shouldn’t have been removed, they will be able to submit a counter-notification under the DMCA. The counter notice should contain the following information for the Designated Agent:

The content provider’s physical or electronic signature;
Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access to has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled;
A statement under penalty of perjury that the content provider has a good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or a misidentification of the material; and
The content provider’s name, address, telephone number, and, if available, e-mail address and a statement that such person or entity consents to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district in which the content provider’s address is located, or if the content provider’s address is located outside the United States, for any judicial district in which qWaqq is located, and that such person or entity will accept service of process from the person who provided notification of the alleged infringement.

When we receive an effective DMCA counter-notification, we will forward it to the reporting party. If the reporting party does not notify us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the content provider from engaging in infringing activity on qWaqq related to the content in question within 10-14 business days, we will promptly restore eligible content under the DMCA.
