Copyright & DMCA Policy

Effective Date: October 26, 2026

ModVC respects the intellectual property rights of creators and copyright owners. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA") (17 U.S.C. § 512), we respond expeditiously to legitimate notices of alleged copyright infringement.

Designated Copyright Agent

All notifications of claimed copyright infringement should be sent to our Designated Copyright Agent:

Designated Agent: Copyright Manager, ModVC Legal
Mailing Address: [TO CONFIRM: Registered physical business address for DMCA filings]
Telephone: [TO CONFIRM: Dedicated phone number for copyright inquiries]

1. Submitting a Valid DMCA Notice

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your written notification must include the following:

  1. Physical or Electronic Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
  2. Identification of the Copyrighted Work: A description or link to the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed.
  3. Identification of Infringing Material: The exact ModVC URL (e.g., modvc.org/:username or specific avatar/banner link) containing the infringing material so our team can locate and verify it.
  4. Contact Information: Your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Good-Faith Statement: A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
  6. Perjury Statement: A statement made under penalty of perjury that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

2. Counter-Notification Procedure

If your content was removed as a result of a DMCA takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification to our Designated Agent containing:

  1. Your physical or electronic signature.
  2. Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
  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.
  4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your judicial district, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.

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

3. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, ModVC maintains an automated strike system (user_strikes). Accounts identified as repeat infringers (users who receive multiple confirmed, non-countered copyright takedown notices) will have their platform access permanently terminated, claimed handles revoked, and bio pages removed.
