The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) protects creators from having their work copied or shared without permission. This law is especially important for websites that allow users to upload or publish content. Because of this, we follow a strict policy for responding to copyright claims and taking appropriate action when needed.
The DMCA Policy applies to the smartcric.co.uk website and all related products and services. It explains how we handle copyright complaints and how you can submit a notice if you believe your work has been used without permission.
We take intellectual property rights seriously and expect our users to do the same. We comply with the United States DMCA of 1998. You can read the full text on the U.S. Copyright Office website.
Before You Submit a Copyright Complaint
Before filing a complaint, make sure the material you report truly violates your copyright. If you are unsure, consider speaking with an attorney first.
Also note that the DMCA requires you to share certain personal information when submitting a claim. If you have privacy concerns, please get legal advice before sending your notice.
How to Submit a Copyright Notice
If you own a copyright or represent someone who does, and you believe content on our Services violates your rights, you may send us a written DMCA Notification. Please use the contact details provided below.
Your notice must meet all DMCA requirements to be accepted.
Once we receive your complaint, we will review it to ensure it is accurate and complete. If the complaint meets all legal standards, we may remove or restrict access to the content in question.
If we take action on an account or remove any material, we will try to notify the affected user and explain why the content was removed or restricted.
However, if a complaint does not meet DMCA requirements, we may choose not to take any action.
Please note that filing a DMCA complaint begins a legal process. This policy does not limit our right to pursue additional steps if we believe infringement has occurred.
Changes and Revisions
We may update this Policy at any time. If we make changes, we will post the update on our Website and may also notify you by email or through other contact details you have provided.
The new version of the Policy becomes active as soon as it is posted, unless otherwise stated. By continuing to use our Website and Services after changes take effect, you agree to follow the updated Policy.
