Introduction

MoreThanFanz is committed to upholding the intellectual property rights of all parties and adheres strictly to the provisions set forth under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (“DMCA”). This policy delineates the procedures for addressing claims of alleged copyright infringement and outlines the corresponding responsibilities of users to foster a legally compliant environment on our platform.

Overview of the DMCA

The DMCA is a United States federal statute designed to protect copyright holders by establishing a formal mechanism for reporting and removing infringing content from online services. It also provides safe harbour provisions for service providers such as MoreThanFanz, shielding them from liability for user-generated content, so long as they meet statutory obligations, including promptly responding to valid notices of infringement.

Submitting a DMCA Takedown Notice

If you believe that material hosted on MoreThanFanz infringes upon your copyright, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice. For your notice to be legally effective and actionable under the DMCA, it must include the following details:

·         Your physical or electronic signature, or that of an agent authorized to act on your behalf.

·         A clear and specific identification of the copyrighted work(s) that you claim have been infringed.

·         A precise identification of the material alleged to be infringing, including its location (e.g., URL or other descriptive information) on the MoreThanFanz platform.

·         Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

·         A statement affirming your good faith belief that the use of the material in question is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or by law.

·         A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information contained in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.

DMCA takedown notices should be submitted to our designated Copyright Agent via email at support@morethanfanz.com.

Filing a Counter-Notification

If you are a MoreThanFanz account holder and believe that your content has been mistakenly removed or disabled, you may submit a counter-notification as prescribed under the DMCA. To be considered valid, your counter-notification must include the following:

·         Your physical or electronic signature.

·         A specific identification of the material that was removed or disabled, as well as its location prior to removal.

·         A statement, under penalty of perjury, asserting your good faith belief that the material was removed or disabled because of error or misidentification.

·         Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

·         A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the federal district court governing your geographic area or, if outside the United States, the district in which MoreThanFanz is located, and agreeing to accept service of process from the party who submitted the original DMCA notice or their authorized representative.

Counter-notifications must be sent to our designated Copyright Agent at support@morethanfanz.com. Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, MoreThanFanz will, as required by law, restore the removed content unless the original complainant initiates legal proceedings to prevent such restoration.

Policy on Repeat Infringers

Consistent with the DMCA, MoreThanFanz reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users identified as repeat infringers. A repeat infringer is defined as a user who has been subject to multiple takedown notices or who repeatedly violates the platform’s copyright policies. This measure underscores our dedication to preserving a lawful and respectful digital environment.

User Obligations

Users of MoreThanFanz are legally obligated to ensure that all content uploaded to the platform complies with applicable copyright laws. Specifically, users must:

·         Upload only original content that they own or have obtained explicit authorization to use.

·         Secure any requisite licenses for copyrighted material used within their content.

·         Respect the intellectual property rights of others at all times.

Failure to adhere to these obligations may result in punitive actions, including the removal of infringing content and/or suspension or termination of the user’s account.

Legal Disclaimers

MoreThanFanz serves solely as an intermediary hosting service and is not liable for the content uploaded by users. While the platform will endeavor to respond promptly to DMCA takedown notices that meet statutory requirements, delays or procedural constraints may occur. MoreThanFanz does not adjudicate disputes between copyright owners and users; such matters must be resolved through appropriate legal channels.
