DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Overview & respect for copyright

Senova respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects the people who use Senova to do the same. This policy explains how copyright owners (or their authorized agents) can report material on Senova that they believe infringes their copyright, and how affected users can respond.

Senova responds to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the United States Digital Millennium Copyright Act (the “DMCA”), 17 U.S.C. § 512. This policy is written to reflect that framework. It does not expand or waive any rights or defenses available to Senova, our users, or copyright owners under applicable law.

We have designated a copyright agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement. You can reach our agent at [email protected].

2. How to file a takedown notice

If you believe that material available on or through Senova infringes a copyright you own or are authorized to represent, you may send a written notice to our designated copyright agent. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), your notice must include substantially all of the following six elements:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the copyright that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works are covered by a single notice, a representative list of those works).
3. Identification of the infringing material that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to let us locate it — including the specific URL(s) or other location on Senova where the material appears.
4. Your contact information, including your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address, so we can reach you.
5. A good-faith statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
6. A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Send your completed notice to our designated copyright agent:

• Email: [email protected]
• Mail: [Designated Copyright Agent address — to be finalized]

Please note that if you knowingly misrepresent that material is infringing, you may be liable for damages under Section 6 below.

3. What happens next

When we receive a notice that we determine substantially complies with the DMCA, we may take one or more of the following actions in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice, expeditiously and in appropriate circumstances.
• Notify the user who posted or is responsible for the material that it has been removed or disabled, and forward a copy of the notice (which may include your contact information) to that user.
• Take reasonable steps to record the notice for our records, including for repeat-infringer tracking described in Section 5.

If a notice does not substantially comply with the DMCA, we may be unable to act on it and may contact you to request corrected or additional information.

4. Counter-notification

If your material was removed or disabled and you believe this was the result of a mistake or misidentification, you may send a written counter-notification to our designated copyright agent at [email protected]. To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include substantially all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or access to it was disabled.
3. 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.
4. Your name, mailing address, and 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 (or, if your address is outside the United States, for any judicial district in which Senova may be found), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice or that person’s agent.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we may forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If that party does not notify us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the allegedly infringing activity, we may restore the removed material, or cease disabling access to it, generally within 10 to 14 business days after we receive your counter-notification.

5. Repeat infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable law, Senova has adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers. We may also limit access to Senova, or remove content, for any user who we believe is infringing the intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

We reserve the right to make judgments about what constitutes a repeat infringer based on the specific facts and circumstances, consistent with our obligations under 17 U.S.C. § 512(i).

6. Misrepresentations

Please be aware that under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents either (a) that material or activity is infringing, or (b) 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 its authorized licensee, or by Senova.

Do not make false claims in a takedown notice or a counter-notification. If you are unsure whether material is infringing, or whether its use is protected (for example, by fair use), consult an attorney before submitting.

7. Not legal advice & contact

This policy is provided for general informational purposes and does not constitute legal advice. The DMCA is a detailed statute, and how it applies depends on the specific facts of your situation. Senova is not able to give you legal advice, and nothing here should be relied on as a substitute for advice from a qualified attorney.

Questions about this policy, or about a notice or counter-notification, can be directed to our designated copyright agent at [email protected] or by mail at [Designated Copyright Agent address — to be finalized].
