Copyright / DMCA Policy

1. Copyright on KONBIT

Users may only upload or share content when they have the legal right to do so.

You should not upload someone else's copyrighted material unless you own the applicable rights, have permission, or your use is otherwise authorized by law, including:

• Photographs
• Videos
• Music
• Artwork
• Illustrations
• Films
• Television content
• Books or written works
• Software
• Graphics
• Other copyrighted materials

Simply finding content online does not necessarily mean that the content is free to copy or redistribute.

2. Users Retain Their Copyrights

Posting original content on KONBIT does not automatically transfer ownership of that content to KONBIT.

As explained in our Terms of Service, users retain the intellectual-property rights they have in their original User Content while granting KONBIT the license reasonably necessary to operate and provide the Services.

3. Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you are a copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of one and believe content available through KONBIT infringes your copyright, you may submit a DMCA notice to KONBIT's designated copyright agent.

A valid notice should include substantially the following information:

Identification of the copyrighted work

Identify the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed. If multiple copyrighted works are involved, you may provide a representative list where legally appropriate.

Identification of the allegedly infringing material

Identify the KONBIT content you believe infringes your copyright. Provide enough information for us to locate it, such as:

• The URL
• Post link
• Username
• Content identifier
• Other specific location information

Your contact information

Provide information reasonably sufficient for KONBIT to contact you, such as your:

• Full name
• Mailing address
• Telephone number
• Email address

Good-faith statement

Include 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.

Accuracy and authority statement

Include a statement that the information in your notification is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right allegedly infringed.

Signature

Include your physical or electronic signature.

Notices that do not substantially comply with applicable DMCA requirements may be incomplete and may delay our ability to act.

4. Where to Send a DMCA Notice

DMCA notices should be sent to KONBIT's designated agent:

DMCA Designated Agent KONBITAPP LLC, Copyright Agent KONBITAPP LLC Massachusetts, United States Email: copyright@konbitapp.com

Please include “DMCA Copyright Notice” in the subject line of electronic communications when possible.

This contact information is intended primarily for copyright notices. General account or Community Guidelines complaints should be submitted through KONBIT's ordinary reporting or support channels.

5. What Happens After KONBIT Receives a Notice

When KONBIT receives a copyright notice, we may review it to determine whether it substantially complies with applicable law.

Depending on the circumstances, KONBIT may:

• Request additional information
• Remove the allegedly infringing material
• Disable access to the material
• Notify the affected user
• Record the copyright enforcement action
• Apply an infringement strike or similar enforcement record
• Take action against repeat infringers
• Decline to remove material when the notice is legally deficient or otherwise does not justify removal

Where appropriate, we may forward a copy or relevant portions of a copyright complaint to the user who posted the material.

6. Counter-Notification

If your content was removed or disabled because of a DMCA copyright notice and you believe the removal resulted from mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification.

For example, you may believe that:

• You created the material yourself
• You obtained permission from the copyright owner
• The claimant identified the wrong content
• The claimant does not own the rights asserted
• Your use is otherwise authorized by law

A counter-notification is a legal request. You should consider obtaining legal advice if you are uncertain about your rights.

7. Required Counter-Notification Information

A counter-notification should include substantially the following:

Your signature

Your physical or electronic signature.

Identification of the removed material

Identify the material that KONBIT removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.

Statement under penalty of perjury

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 contact information

Your name, address, and telephone number.

Consent to jurisdiction

A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate United States Federal District Court as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3), and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original copyright notice or that person's agent.

Counter-notifications should be sent to the designated DMCA agent identified above.

8. Restoration Following a Counter-Notification

When KONBIT receives a valid counter-notification, we may provide a copy to the original copyright claimant.

Subject to the DMCA, KONBIT may restore the affected material after the applicable statutory period unless the original claimant informs us that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in the allegedly infringing activity.

KONBIT may continue restricting content where another applicable law or KONBIT policy independently requires or permits restriction.

9. Repeat Infringer Policy

KONBIT maintains a policy providing for termination, in appropriate circumstances, of users who are repeat copyright infringers. KONBIT may maintain records of valid copyright enforcement actions associated with accounts.

Depending on the circumstances, actions may include:

• Content removal
• Copyright warnings
• Copyright strikes
• Feature restrictions
• Temporary account suspension
• Permanent account termination

KONBIT may consider relevant circumstances when determining appropriate enforcement, including the nature and frequency of infringement and whether previous copyright determinations were reversed or otherwise invalidated.

Serious copyright abuse may warrant stronger action without multiple prior warnings where appropriate. Users may not evade copyright enforcement by creating replacement accounts.

10. Retractions

A copyright claimant may request withdrawal or retraction of a previously submitted copyright complaint.

The request should clearly identify:

• The original complaint
• The affected content
• The claimant
• The request to withdraw the complaint

A retraction does not guarantee restoration if the content independently violates KONBIT's Terms of Service, Community Guidelines, or applicable law.

11. Misrepresentation and Abuse of the DMCA Process

Do not knowingly submit false copyright notices or counter-notifications.

Under U.S. law, a person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may face liability.

KONBIT may restrict access to its reporting systems or take other appropriate action against users who repeatedly abuse copyright-reporting mechanisms.

12. Fair Use and Other Legal Exceptions

Not every use of copyrighted material constitutes infringement. U.S. copyright law recognizes limitations and exceptions, including fair use in appropriate circumstances.

Whether a particular use qualifies as fair use depends on the facts and applicable law. KONBIT cannot provide individual users with legal advice about whether their particular use constitutes fair use.

If you are uncertain, consider obtaining legal advice before submitting content or filing a copyright complaint.

13. Trademark Complaints

The DMCA primarily concerns copyright. Trademark complaints, impersonation complaints, counterfeit-goods complaints, and other intellectual-property disputes may be handled separately. KONBIT may provide a separate reporting process for trademark violations.

Trademark complaints should generally identify:

• The trademark owner
• The trademark at issue
• Applicable registration information, where available
• The allegedly infringing content
• The location of that content
• Why the use allegedly violates the owner's rights

KONBIT may request additional information before acting.

14. Other Intellectual-Property Rights

KONBIT may also consider properly supported complaints concerning other intellectual-property rights where applicable.

Submitting an intellectual-property complaint does not guarantee removal. KONBIT may decline to adjudicate complex private ownership disputes that are more appropriately resolved between the parties or through a court or other competent authority.

15. Content Removed for Other Reasons

A successful DMCA counter-notification does not guarantee that content will remain on KONBIT.

Content may independently violate:

• KONBIT's Community Guidelines
• Terms of Service
• Privacy rights
• Applicable law
• Court orders
• Other KONBIT policies

KONBIT may therefore continue restricting content for an independent lawful reason even when a copyright dispute is resolved.

16. Changes to This Policy

KONBIT may update this Copyright and DMCA Policy to reflect changes in:

• Applicable law
• Copyright procedures
• KONBIT's Services
• Technology
• Platform operations

The current version will display its effective or last-updated date.
