Copyright Policy (DMCA)
1. Introduction
Codaiq LTD ("Codaiq", "we", "us") respects the intellectual-property rights of others and expects users of the Codaiq platform to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), 17 U.S.C. § 512, we will respond expeditiously to valid notices of claimed copyright infringement that meet the requirements set out below.
This policy describes how to submit a notice, how to submit a counter-notification, and our policy regarding repeat infringers.
2. How to File a Notice of Infringement
To be effective under the DMCA, a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication addressed to our Designated Copyright Agent (see section 3) and must include substantially the following, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3):
- A physical or electronic signature of a person authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed;
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works;
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material — at minimum, the full URL(s) of the allegedly infringing content;
- Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact the complaining party, such as an address, telephone number and electronic-mail address;
- A statement that the complaining party has a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorised by the copyright owner, its agent or the law;
- A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and, under penalty of perjury, that the complaining party is authorised to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
Incomplete notices may not be actionable. If your notice does not substantially comply with all of the above, we may be unable to act on it.

4. Counter-Notification
If you believe that material you posted to or generated through Codaiq was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may file a counter-notification under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g). To be effective, your counter-notification must include substantially the following:
- Your physical or electronic signature;
- 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 disabled;
- 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;
- Your name, address and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which the address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, that you consent to the jurisdiction of any judicial district in which Codaiq may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notification or an agent of that person.
Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward a copy to the original complaining party and inform them that we may replace the removed material or cease disabling access to it in 10 to 14 business days unless the complaining party files an action seeking a court order against you.
5. Repeat-Infringer Policy
It is our policy, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, to disable or terminate the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. An account that is the subject of three (3) or more valid DMCA notices within any twelve-month period will be terminated.
We may also, at our discretion, limit access to the Codaiq platform and/or terminate the accounts of users who infringe any intellectual-property rights of others, regardless of whether there is any repeat infringement.
6. False Claims Warning
Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), 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 liable for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or copyright owner's authorised licensee, or by Codaiq.
Before submitting a notice or counter-notification, please consider whether the use complained of may be authorised by the copyright owner, the law (for example, fair use), or another exception. If you are unsure, consult an attorney.
7. Other Intellectual-Property Claims
Reports concerning trademark infringement, publicity rights, or other non-copyright intellectual-property claims should be sent to info@codaiq.com with a clear description of the claim and the material in question. We aim to acknowledge such reports within 5 business days.
