DMCA copyright policy

1. Reporting a copyright infringement (notice)

If you are a copyright owner, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and you believe material on Crescence infringes your copyright, send a written notice to our Designated Agent (see section 5). Under 17 U.S.C. 512(c)(3), a valid notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are covered by a single notice).
• Identification of the material you claim is infringing, with enough detail to let us locate it. A direct URL to the brand storefront, product listing, or message is the most reliable identifier.
• Your name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address so we can contact you.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

Please send the complete notice in one message. Incomplete notices delay our response. Knowingly making a material misrepresentation that material is infringing may expose you to liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. 512(f).

You can file a notice through our online takedown form, or email the Designated Agent in section 5.

2. What we do when we receive a valid notice

On receipt of a notice that meets the requirements above, Crescence will act expeditiously to remove or disable access to the identified material. We will take reasonable steps to notify the affected user that the material has been removed or disabled, and we will forward a copy of your notice to them so they can decide whether to file a counter-notice.

We log every notice, the date of removal, and the affected account so we can apply the repeat-infringer policy in section 4 consistently.

3. Filing a counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe the removal was a mistake or a misidentification, you may send a counter-notice to our Designated Agent. Under 17 U.S.C. 512(g)(3), a valid counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
• 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, the Northern District of California), and that you will accept service of process from the party who filed the original notice or that party's agent.

When we receive a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the party who filed the original notice. Unless that party notifies us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the activity, we may restore the removed material.

4. Repeat-infringer policy

Crescence terminates, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are repeat infringers. We track copyright notices per account. An account that accrues repeated, valid infringement notices is subject to suspension and then permanent termination, consistent with 17 U.S.C. 512(i). We may also terminate an account immediately for a single severe or willful infringement. Termination decisions are reviewed by a human before they take effect.
