1) Purpose & Scope
Tokra respects intellectual property rights and expects users to do the same. This policy describes how to submit notices under the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) and how Tokra handles takedown and counter-notice procedures.
2) Designated Agent (Primary Contact)
Email (Designated Agent): copyright@tokra.ai
For formal service of process or postal submissions, Tokra will provide a mailing address upon request or via the U.S. Copyright Office directory once our agent registration is completed.
3) How to Submit a DMCA Takedown Notice (17 U.S.C. §512(c)(3))
To request removal of allegedly infringing material, your written notice must include all of the following:
- Signature of the copyright owner or an authorized agent (physical or electronic).
- Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or a representative list).
- Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing (e.g., specific URLs or API request IDs) and information reasonably sufficient to locate the material.
- Your contact information: full name, organization (if any), address (if available), phone, and email.
- 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 that the information in the notice is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
4) Counter-Notice (17 U.S.C. §512(g))
If your content was removed and you believe it was done in error or misidentification, you may file a counter-notice containing:
- Your physical or electronic signature.
- Identification of the material that has been removed or disabled and the location where it appeared before removal.
- A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
- Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for your judicial district (or for the District of Delaware if your address is outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the person who filed the takedown notice or their agent.
5) Tokra’s Process
- Upon receiving a complete DMCA notice, Tokra may remove or disable the identified material and notify the user.
- If a counter-notice is received, Tokra may restore the material within a reasonable time unless the original complainant informs us that they have filed a court action to restrain the allegedly infringing activity.
- Tokra may share copies of notices/counter-notices with the affected user or third parties as required by law.
6) Repeat Infringer Policy
Tokra may terminate accounts of users who are deemed repeat infringers in appropriate circumstances, and may suspend access to prevent ongoing violations.
7) Misrepresentations
Under §512(f), any person who knowingly misrepresents that material or activity is infringing (or was removed by mistake) may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees.
8) Reservation of Rights
Tokra reserves the right to remove content, suspend accounts, and take other actions it deems appropriate to protect rights holders and the Service, consistent with applicable law and our Terms of Use.
9) Language
This policy may be provided in multiple languages for convenience. In the event of a material discrepancy, the English version controls after publication.
