Copyright and DMCA Policy

Last updated: [EFFECTIVE DATE] · Terms · Privacy · DMCA

We respect copyright and expect members to do the same. Members may only upload photos they took themselves, and the upload form asks them to confirm that. If you believe something on Remote Vegas infringes your copyright, send a notice to our designated agent below and we’ll act on it.

Designated agent

[DMCA AGENT NAME]
[LEGAL ENTITY NAME]
[DMCA AGENT MAILING ADDRESS]
Email: [DMCA AGENT EMAIL] · Phone: [DMCA AGENT PHONE]
U.S. Copyright Office DMCA agent registration: [REGISTRATION NUMBER — registration not yet filed]

What to include in a takedown notice

  1. Your physical or electronic signature (or that of someone authorized to act for the copyright owner).
  2. What copyrighted work you believe was infringed.
  3. Where it is on Remote Vegas: the page link, and for photos the photo or post link.
  4. Your name, address, phone number and email.
  5. A statement that you believe in good faith the use isn’t authorized by the copyright owner, its agent or the law.
  6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and, under penalty of perjury, that you are the owner or authorized to act for the owner.

What we do

  • When we get a complete notice, we remove or disable the material promptly and tell the member who posted it.
  • Photos are served through our own moderated link and aren’t kept on shared caches, so a removal takes effect right away. Copies other people downloaded or shared are outside our control.
  • For anything else on the site (captions, profiles, job listings) you can also use the Report button, but a DMCA notice should go to the agent above.

Counter-notice

If your material was removed and you believe that was a mistake or that you have the right to use it, you can send a counter-notice to the agent above. Include: your signature; what was removed and where it was; a statement under penalty of perjury that you believe in good faith it was removed by mistake or misidentification; your name, address and phone; and a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for your address (or, if you’re outside the U.S., [COURT FOR NON-U.S. COUNTER-NOTICES]) and will accept service from the person who sent the original notice. We’ll forward it to them. Unless they tell us within 10–14 business days that they’ve filed a court action, we may restore the material.

Repeat infringers

We close the accounts of members who repeatedly infringe copyright.

Misuse

Knowingly false notices or counter-notices can make you liable for damages under the DMCA (17 U.S.C. § 512(f)).
