DMCA Copyright Policy

1. Designated DMCA agent

Wrtyn has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed infringement under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). Notices that are not directed to the designated agent may not be acted on.

• Agent: DMCA Agent, Wrtyn, LLC
• Address: 548 Market St, PMB 80414, San Francisco, CA 94104, USA
• Email: [email protected]

2. How to submit a takedown notice

To be effective, a takedown notice must be a written communication sent to the designated agent above and must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

• A physical or electronic signature of the owner, or a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner, of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
• Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed (or, if multiple works at a single online site are covered by one notice, a representative list of those works).
• Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity, with information reasonably sufficient to permit Wrtyn to locate the material — for example, the URL of the event page, gallery, image, or message in question.
• Information reasonably sufficient to permit Wrtyn to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

Incomplete notices may be rejected. Misrepresentations in a DMCA notice can result in liability for damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f) — including to the user whose content was wrongly taken down.

3. What Wrtyn does after a valid notice

When Wrtyn receives a notice that substantially complies with § 512(c)(3), Wrtyn will:

• Promptly remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
• Take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material, including by forwarding the notice or its substance.
• Document the notice and the action taken in our internal records.

4. Counter-notice procedure

If you are a Wrtyn user and you believe that material you posted was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to the designated agent above. To be effective, a counter-notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled, and the location at which it appeared before it was removed or disabled.
• 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 name, address, and telephone number.
• 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, for any judicial district in which Wrtyn may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice or that person's agent.

On receipt of a compliant counter-notice, Wrtyn will forward a copy to the original complainant and inform them that the disabled material may be restored in not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days unless Wrtyn first receives notice that the complainant has filed a court action to restrain the activity. Wrtyn will then restore the material absent such a notice from the complainant.

5. Repeat-infringer policy

Consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(i), Wrtyn has adopted and reasonably implements a policy providing for the termination, in appropriate circumstances, of accounts and organization workspaces of users who are repeat infringers.

• Each compliant DMCA notice that results in removal of material posted by a Wrtyn user is recorded against that user and, where applicable, against the workspace from which the material was posted.
• A user or workspace may be deemed a repeat infringer based on the number, severity, and pattern of substantiated notices received over time. We do not commit to a fixed strike count, because seriousness varies; one egregious case may justify termination, while several minor unsubstantiated complaints may not.
• When Wrtyn determines a user or workspace meets its repeat-infringer criteria, Wrtyn will terminate the account or workspace, may pause connected ticket sales, and may decline to serve future signups associated with the same person or organization.
• Wrtyn may also terminate or restrict accounts that engage in clear, repeated, or willful infringement even in the absence of formal DMCA notices.

6. Trademark, name, and likeness complaints

The DMCA only addresses copyright. To report claimed misuse of a trademark, brand, name, likeness, or other non-copyright right, email [email protected] with the same level of detail described in section 2, identifying the right at issue, the allegedly infringing material, and your authority to act on behalf of the rightsholder. Wrtyn evaluates non-DMCA complaints under our general acceptable-use rules.

7. Changes

We may update this policy from time to time, including to reflect changes to our designated agent, our internal review process, or applicable law. The current version and last-updated date are shown at the top of this page.
