DMCA Policy & Copyright Infringement

Our Commitment

Alter Exclusive is committed to protecting the rights of copyright holders. We will respond to valid notices of copyright infringement and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the allegedly infringing content.

Filing false or fraudulent copyright claims is a serious matter. Under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees.

How to File a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that content distributed through our platform infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice. To be effective, your notice must include the following information:

1. 1.Your contact information. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
2. 2.Identification of the copyrighted work. A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including registration numbers if applicable.
3. 3.Location of infringing material. The URL or other specific location where the allegedly infringing material is located on our platform.
4. 4.Good faith statement. A statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
5. 5.Accuracy statement. A statement that the information in your notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner.
6. 6.Signature. Your physical or electronic signature.

Submitting Your Notice

You can submit a copyright infringement report through our online form or by email at dmca@alterexclusive.com.

Counter-Notification Process

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature
• Identification of the material that was removed and its location before removal
• 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
• Your name, address, telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not file a court action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the removed content.

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Alter Exclusive has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to our services and/or terminate the accounts of users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others.

False Claims and Abuse

We take false copyright claims very seriously. Users who file fraudulent, bad faith, or abusive takedown notices may face:

• Liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f)
• Legal action for costs, attorney's fees, and actual damages
• Criminal prosecution for perjury
• Permanent ban from submitting future notices

Response Time

We aim to review all copyright infringement claims within 5-7 business days. Complex cases may require additional time for thorough investigation. You will receive email updates on the status of your claim.
