DMCA Policy – KAYSE
Last Updated: March 12, 2026
Our Commitment to Intellectual Property Protection
KAYSE respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects its users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (« DMCA »), Title 17, United States Code, Section 512, we will respond promptly to notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the DMCA and are properly submitted to our designated Copyright Agent.
Filing a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement
If you believe that content available on or through our website (the « Site ») infringes one or more of your copyrights, you may submit a written notification (« DMCA Notice ») to our designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:
(a) A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
(b) Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works on the Site are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
(c) Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, and information reasonably sufficient to permit KAYSE to locate the material on the Site, such as the URL or specific page where the material appears.
(d) Information reasonably sufficient to permit KAYSE to contact the complaining party, including your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
(e) 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.
(f) 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 an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Processing of DMCA Notices
Upon receipt of a valid DMCA Notice, KAYSE will take the following steps: we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material; we will notify the user or content provider responsible for the material that has been removed or disabled; and we will provide the user or content provider with the opportunity to submit a counter-notification, as described below.
Counter-Notification
If you believe that material you posted on the Site was removed or access to it was disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification (« Counter-Notice ») with our designated Copyright Agent containing the following information:
(a) Your physical or electronic signature.
(b) Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or access was disabled.
(c) 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
(d) Your name, address, telephone number, and email address, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located, or if your address is outside of the United States, for any judicial district in which KAYSE may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA Notice or an agent of such person.
Restoration of Removed Material
Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, KAYSE will promptly provide the original complaining party with a copy of the Counter-Notice and inform that party that the removed material will be restored in ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days. Unless the copyright owner files an action seeking a court order against the content provider or user, the removed material will be restored to the Site within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days after receipt of the Counter-Notice, at KAYSE’s sole discretion.
Repeat Infringers
In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, KAYSE has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, the accounts or access of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. KAYSE may also, at its sole discretion, limit access to the Site or terminate the access of any user who infringes any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.
Misrepresentation Warning
Please be aware that 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 attorney’s fees.
