At Girllegacy, we respect creativity, innovation, and the intellectual property rights of designers, artists, and creators. Upholding copyright protection is a fundamental part of our commitment to ethical standards within the fashion and creative industries. We also expect all users of our website to honor and respect these rights.
Pursuant to the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (DMCA), Girllegacy has established the following procedure for addressing copyright infringement claims in a timely and lawful manner. This policy outlines how copyright complaints and counter-notifications are submitted, evaluated, and resolved.
1. Submitting a DMCA Copyright Complaint
If you are the owner of copyrighted material, or authorized to act on behalf of one, and believe that your work has been copied, published, or displayed on the Girllegacy website without authorization, you may file a DMCA Notice of Alleged Infringement.
Upon receiving a properly completed notice, Girllegacy will review the claim promptly and, where appropriate, remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material in accordance with applicable law.
2. Information Required for a Valid DMCA Notice
To comply with DMCA requirements, your written notification must include the following elements:
Signature of Authorized Party
A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or an authorized representative.
Identification of the Copyrighted Work
A clear and detailed description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed. If multiple works are involved, you may provide a representative list.
Identification of the Alleged Infringement
Specific information identifying the material claimed to be infringing, including the exact URL(s) or location(s) on our website where the content appears.
Contact Details
Your full legal name, mailing address, and a valid email address for communication purposes.
Good Faith Declaration
A statement confirming that you have a good faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or applicable law.
Accuracy and Authority Statement
A declaration, made under penalty of perjury, that the information provided is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Please note that incomplete or inaccurate submissions may delay processing or result in the notice not being acted upon.
3. DMCA Counter-Notification Process
If you believe that your content was removed or restricted due to a mistake, misidentification, or lawful use, you may submit a DMCA Counter-Notification.
Your counter-notification must include:
-
Your physical or electronic signature
-
Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its previous location
-
A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the removal occurred due to error or misidentification
-
Your full name, mailing address, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate U.S. Federal District Court
After receiving a valid counter-notification, Girllegacy may forward it to the original complainant. If the complainant does not initiate legal action within the timeframe specified by law, the removed material may be reinstated in accordance with DMCA procedures.
4. Policy on Repeat Infringement
Girllegacy enforces a strict policy against repeated copyright violations. Users who are found to repeatedly infringe upon intellectual property rights may have their accounts suspended or terminated, and access to our services restricted, as permitted under applicable law.
