DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Our copyright policy

Melern respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users to do the same. In accordance with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), 17 U.S.C. § 512, and comparable laws such as the EU Copyright Directive, we will respond to valid notices of alleged copyright infringement and may remove or disable access to material we host that is claimed to infringe.

2. Designated copyright agent

Send copyright notices to our designated agent:

Copyright Agent — Melern Labs, Inc.
Storgatan 12, 111 51 Stockholm, Sweden
Email: dmca@melern.example

Please use this channel only for copyright matters; other requests sent here may not receive a response.

3. How to file a takedown notice

To be effective, your written notice must include substantially the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf;
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed;
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to locate it (e.g., a URL);
4. Your contact information (name, address, telephone number, email);
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law;
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.

4. Counter-notification

If you believe your material was removed by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our agent containing:

1. Your physical or electronic signature;
2. Identification of the material removed and its prior location;
3. A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification;
4. Your name, address, and phone number, and a statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the appropriate court and to accept service of process from the complaining party.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant files a court action.

5. Repeat infringers

We will, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or terminate the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers.

6. Misrepresentation

Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or was removed by mistake, may be liable for damages. Please be sure before you file.
