DMCA Policy – Copyright Protection for Call of Spartan Website

At our Call of Spartan website, we value originality and creativity just as highly as strategic prowess on the battlefield. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), we are dedicated to protecting the intellectual property rights of creators, contributors, and community members. This policy details the steps to take when reporting copyright infringement and the process for responding to such claims.

1. How to Report Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted material has been used, posted, or distributed on our site without your authorization, you may file a DMCA takedown notice. To be legally valid under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include:

• Your full name and a physical or electronic signature;
• A detailed description of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed;
• The exact location or URL of the allegedly infringing material on our site;
• Contact information, including a valid email address (and phone number, if available);
• A good faith statement that the use of the material is not authorized by you, your agent, or the law;
• A declaration, under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright holder or authorized to act on their behalf.

Incomplete or insufficient notices may result in delayed or no action.

2. Our Response to Copyright Complaints

Upon receiving a complete and valid DMCA notice, we will:

• Review the claim promptly and objectively;
• Remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content if appropriate;
• Notify the user who submitted or uploaded the content;
• Provide instructions on how to submit a counter-notification if they believe the removal was in error.

Our goal is to resolve all claims fairly and in compliance with applicable laws.

3. Submitting a Counter-Notification

If your content was removed due to a DMCA complaint and you believe this was a mistake or that you have the right to use the content, you may file a counter-notification. Your counter-notice must include:

• Your name, contact details, and a physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the content that was removed, as well as its location prior to removal;
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you believe the content was removed in error or misidentification;
• A declaration that you consent to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and will accept service of process from the original complainant.

If a valid counter-notification is submitted, we may restore the content unless the original complainant files a lawsuit within the legally allowed timeframe.

4. Policy on Repeat Infringers

Repeated violations of copyright laws are not tolerated. Users found to have committed multiple or willful infringements may have their accounts suspended or permanently removed from the site. We reserve the right to take such action at our sole discretion, with or without prior notice.

5. No Legal Advice

This DMCA Policy is provided for general informational purposes only and should not be considered legal counsel. If you are unsure about your rights, obligations, or whether content constitutes infringement, we strongly recommend consulting a qualified attorney.
