Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original complainant. If they don't file a court action within 10-14 business days, we may restore the content.

5. Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with the DMCA, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, accounts of users who are deemed to be repeat infringers.

What constitutes "repeat infringement":

• 🔴 3 or more separate valid DMCA takedowns within 12 months → account suspended (review)
• 🔴 5 or more separate valid DMCA takedowns within 12 months → permanent account termination
• 🔴 Single egregious case (e.g. mass piracy operation) → immediate termination

Terminated accounts:

• Lose access to all premium credits (no refund for piracy-related terminations)
• Cannot create new accounts using same email/IP/payment methods
• May be reported to law enforcement in serious cases

6. Knowingly False Claims

We take false claims seriously. If we determine a notice was filed in bad faith, we may:

• Refuse to process the notice
• Restore removed content immediately
• Provide details to affected parties for legal action
• Cooperate with law enforcement investigations
