DMCA

Noaise respects the intellectual property rights of creators, copyright owners, businesses, and other rights holders. This DMCA Policy explains the process for submitting a copyright infringement notification concerning material that may be available through the Noaise website, as well as the information needed for us to review and respond to a properly submitted notice.

1. Purpose of This DMCA Policy

Noaise takes copyright concerns seriously and provides a process for copyright owners or their authorized representatives to report material that they believe infringes their copyrighted work.

This policy is intended to provide a clear communication process for copyright complaints and does not create rights, remedies, or obligations beyond those available under applicable law.

A copyright complaint should contain sufficient factual information for Noaise to identify the copyrighted work, locate the reported material, and understand the basis of the alleged infringement.

2. What Is a DMCA Notice?

A DMCA notice is a copyright infringement notification submitted by a copyright owner or an authorized representative who believes that material available through a service infringes a protected copyrighted work.

A properly prepared notice should identify the copyrighted work, identify the material being challenged, provide contact information for the reporting party, and include the required statements and certification.

The Digital Millennium Copyright Act applies primarily to qualifying copyright matters involving services in the United States. Other jurisdictions may have different procedures and legal requirements.

3. Who May Submit a DMCA Notice?

A DMCA notice should generally be submitted by the copyright owner or by an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner.

If you are submitting a notice on behalf of another person, company, organization, or rights holder, please identify your relationship to the copyright owner and confirm that you are authorized to act on their behalf.

4. Required Information for a DMCA Notice

To help us review a copyright complaint, please include the information reasonably required to identify the protected work and the material you believe is infringing.

Required Information	Details
Copyright Owner	The full legal name of the copyright owner whose rights you believe have been infringed.
Authorized Representative	If applicable, identify yourself as an authorized representative and provide relevant authorization information.
Contact Information	Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address or other contact information sufficient for communication.
Copyrighted Work	A description of the original copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed.
Location of Original Work	Information showing where the original work may be viewed or otherwise identified, where reasonably available.
Reported Material	A description of the material you believe infringes the copyrighted work.
Location of Reported Material	The specific URL or other information that allows Noaise to locate the allegedly infringing material.
Good-Faith Statement	A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
Accuracy Statement	A statement that the information in the notification is accurate and, where required, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Signature	A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorized representative.

5. Identifying the Copyrighted Work

A copyright notice should describe the copyrighted work with enough detail to allow Noaise to understand what work is being claimed.

Depending on the type of work, useful information may include the title of the work, creator, original publication date, registration information, original website location, or other identifying information.

5.1 Multiple Copyrighted Works

If a single notification concerns multiple copyrighted works, please provide a representative list or otherwise clearly identify the works covered by the complaint.

Clear identification can help reduce delays caused by incomplete or overly broad submissions.

6. Identifying the Allegedly Infringing Material

The reported material should be identified as specifically as reasonably possible. The most useful information is generally the direct URL of the webpage where the allegedly infringing material appears.

If a direct URL is unavailable, provide other identifying information such as a product name, page title, image description, text excerpt, or location within the website.

If multiple pages or materials are involved, please provide a separate list of the relevant URLs or descriptions.

7. Good-Faith Belief Statement

A DMCA notice should include a statement that the reporting party has a good-faith belief that the disputed use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, the copyright owner's agent, or applicable law.

Before submitting a notice, the reporting party should consider whether the use may be authorized, licensed, permitted by the copyright owner, or otherwise allowed under applicable copyright law.

8. Accuracy and Authorization Statement

A DMCA notice should include a statement confirming that the information provided is accurate and, where required, that the reporting party is authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

This certification is important because copyright complaints may result in content being reviewed, restricted, or removed.

Notices should therefore contain factual information and should not knowingly include false or misleading statements.

9. Electronic or Physical Signature

A valid copyright notification should include the physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or the person authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

An electronic signature may be provided in a form that reasonably identifies the person submitting the notice, subject to applicable legal requirements.

10. Where to Send a DMCA Notice

Copyright infringement notifications should be sent to the Noaise support contact listed at the end of this policy.

To help our team identify the purpose of your message, please clearly indicate that the communication is a DMCA Copyright Infringement Notice.

Please include all relevant information in the initial communication whenever possible. Incomplete submissions may require additional clarification before they can be evaluated.

11. Review of DMCA Notices

After receiving a copyright notification, Noaise may review the information provided to determine whether the notice identifies a specific copyrighted work, allegedly infringing material, and the other information necessary to evaluate the complaint.

If information is missing or unclear, we may request additional details from the reporting party.

Submission of a DMCA notice does not automatically result in removal of the reported material. Any action will depend on the information available, applicable law, and the circumstances of the individual complaint.

12. Possible Actions Following a Notice

Depending on the circumstances and information available, Noaise may take appropriate action concerning material identified in a valid copyright complaint.

Possible actions may include:

• Requesting additional information from the reporting party.
• Reviewing the reported material and its website location.
• Contacting a relevant party regarding the complaint.
• Removing or restricting access to material where appropriate.
• Taking other measures consistent with applicable law and our policies.

The specific response will depend on the facts and circumstances of the complaint.

13. Counter Notification

If material has been removed or access has been restricted following a copyright complaint, the affected party may have rights to submit a counter notification under applicable law.

A counter notification should explain why the material was removed or restricted in error and should contain the information required by applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, Noaise may forward a valid counter notification to the original reporting party or take other steps required by applicable law.

14. Repeat Copyright Complaints

Noaise may take appropriate measures concerning accounts, users, or content associated with repeated copyright infringement where required or permitted by applicable law.

Any such action will depend on the circumstances, available evidence, applicable law, and the nature of the reported conduct.

15. Copyright Exceptions and Authorized Uses

Not every use of copyrighted material constitutes infringement. Certain uses may be authorized by the copyright owner, covered by a license, permitted by applicable law, or subject to an applicable copyright exception.

Because copyright law can be fact-specific, a reporting party should consider the circumstances surrounding the use before submitting a DMCA notice.

Noaise may consider relevant information concerning authorization, licensing, or other applicable legal circumstances when reviewing a complaint.

16. False or Misleading Notices

A person submitting a DMCA notice should ensure that the information provided is accurate and complete to the best of their knowledge.

Knowingly submitting false or materially misleading information in a copyright infringement notification may expose the submitting party to legal consequences under applicable law.

17. Confidential and Sensitive Information

Please do not include unnecessary passwords, payment information, account security codes, government identification numbers, or other highly sensitive information in a DMCA notice.

If supporting documentation contains information that is not relevant to the copyright claim, consider removing or redacting that information before submitting the documentation.

Information submitted as part of a copyright complaint may be reviewed by personnel or service providers as reasonably necessary to evaluate and respond to the matter.

18. Relationship to Other Policies

This DMCA Policy should be read together with the other policies published by Noaise, including the Intellectual Property Claim Policy, Terms of Service, Privacy Policy, and Disclaimer.

These policies address different aspects of website use, intellectual property, privacy, and content management. Nothing in this policy is intended to waive any rights or remedies available under applicable law.

19. Changes to This DMCA Policy

Noaise may update this DMCA Policy when our website operations, legal requirements, intellectual property procedures, or business practices change.

Updated information will be published on this page when applicable. Rights holders and website visitors are encouraged to review this policy periodically.
