📝 DMCA Compliance Statement

Emoji Hunt LLC ("we," "us," "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our website or services.

1. Notification of Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied or used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on our website, please notify our Designated Copyright Agent with the following information:

  • Identification of Copyrighted Work: Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or if multiple works, a representative list
  • Identification of Infringing Material: Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (including URL or specific location)
  • Contact Information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address
  • 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
  • Accuracy Statement: A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the exclusive right allegedly infringed

4. Repeat Infringers

We maintain a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of intellectual property rights. Repeat infringers may be permanently banned from using our services without warning.

We reserve the right to terminate access to our website and services for any user who is found to be a repeat infringer, regardless of whether the repeated infringement is of the same or different copyrighted works.

5. False Claims

WARNING: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents:

  • That material or activity is infringing, or
  • That material or activity was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification

May be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees. We may seek damages from any party that submits a notification or counter-notification in bad faith.

6. Modifications to Material

We reserve the right to remove or disable access to any material claimed to be infringing or the subject of infringing activity at any time, with or without notice. We may also modify or remove content that we believe, in our sole discretion, may be infringing, illegal, offensive, or otherwise in violation of our Terms of Service.

7. No Duty to Monitor

We have no obligation to monitor, screen, or review user-generated content for copyright infringement. We do not endorse, authorize, or encourage any user content and are not responsible for determining whether any content infringes upon the intellectual property rights of others.

8. Preservation of Records

We maintain records of DMCA notices, counter-notices, and related communications for at least three years. These records may be provided to law enforcement, courts, or other parties as required by law or legal process.

9. Intellectual Property Policy

In addition to complying with DMCA requirements, we respect all forms of intellectual property rights, including:

  • Trademarks and service marks
  • Patents and patent applications
  • Trade secrets and confidential information
  • Rights of publicity and privacy
  • Moral rights and attribution rights

Users are prohibited from uploading, posting, or transmitting any content that infringes upon these rights.

10. Safe Harbor Protection

We claim protection under the DMCA Safe Harbor provisions (17 U.S.C. § 512) as a service provider. We do not have actual knowledge of infringement, are not aware of facts or circumstances from which infringing activity is apparent, and upon obtaining such knowledge, act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the material.

11. International Considerations

While the DMCA is a United States law, we respect intellectual property rights globally. International users should be aware that we will comply with valid copyright infringement notices from any jurisdiction, subject to our verification of their legitimacy under applicable law.

12. Subpoena Response

We will comply with properly served subpoenas issued under 17 U.S.C. § 512(h) seeking the identity of users alleged to be engaging in copyright infringement. We will notify affected users of such subpoenas unless prohibited by law or court order.

13. Additional Information

For Copyright Owners: Before submitting a DMCA notice, please consider:

  • Whether the use constitutes fair use under copyright law
  • Whether the content is in the public domain
  • Whether you actually own the copyright to the work
  • The potential liability for false claims under Section 512(f)

We recommend consulting with an attorney before filing a DMCA notice if you are unsure about your rights.

14. Changes to This Policy

We reserve the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be effective immediately upon posting to this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically to stay informed about how we handle copyright infringement claims.

15. Alternative Dispute Resolution

We encourage parties to resolve copyright disputes amicably. If you believe your content has been incorrectly identified as infringing, we recommend first attempting to contact the complaining party directly to resolve the matter before filing a counter-notice.

This DMCA Policy is part of our Terms of Service. By using our website and services, you agree to comply with and be bound by this policy. Failure to comply may result in termination of your access to our services.
