DMCA & Copyright Policy

Copyright protection generally applies to original works such as photographs, graphics, written material, videos, software, artwork, and other creative works where copyright exists under applicable law.

A person submitting content to our platform does not automatically grant ownership of that content to Massage Republic. Rights remain with the applicable copyright owner, subject to any license or permission governing the submitted material.

If you are a copyright owner or authorized representative and believe that material available on our website infringes your copyright, you may send us a written notice.

Notices should contain sufficient information for us to identify the allegedly infringing material and understand the basis of your claim.

To help us review a copyright complaint, please provide the following information where applicable:

1. Your full name and contact information.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work you believe has been infringed.
3. A description or identification of the allegedly infringing material.
4. The specific URL or other location where the material can be found.
5. A statement explaining why you believe the use is unauthorized.
6. A statement that the information in the notice is accurate to the best of your knowledge.
7. A statement confirming that you are the copyright owner or authorized to act on the owner's behalf.
8. Your physical or electronic signature.

After receiving a sufficiently detailed copyright complaint, we may review the submitted information and determine what action is appropriate.

• Verify whether the reported material can be reasonably identified.
• Review the information provided in the complaint.
• Request additional information when necessary.
• Contact the relevant account holder or content provider where appropriate.
• Restrict, remove, disable access to, or otherwise address content where legally appropriate.

We may also decline to act on incomplete, unsupported, abusive, fraudulent, or legally insufficient notices.

If you believe that material you submitted was removed or disabled because of a copyright complaint and you believe the removal was incorrect, you may have the right to submit a counter-notification under applicable copyright law.

Where the DMCA applies, a counter-notification may generally need to contain information such as:

• Identification of the material that was removed or disabled and its previous location.
• A statement made under applicable legal requirements explaining why the removal was mistaken or misidentified.
• Your name, address, telephone number, and email address where required.
• Any required consent to jurisdiction and service of process under applicable law.
• Your physical or electronic signature.

Where appropriate and permitted by applicable law, we may take measures against accounts or users that repeatedly post or facilitate copyright-infringing material.

Such measures may include warnings, content removal, restrictions, suspension, or termination of access.

Copyright complaints should be submitted only when there is a genuine and legally supportable basis for believing that copyrighted material has been infringed.

Knowingly submitting false, misleading, fraudulent, or abusive copyright claims may result in legal consequences and may affect how future complaints are handled.

The DMCA is a United States copyright law framework. Users and rights holders located outside the United States may have additional or different rights under the copyright laws of their own countries.

We may consider valid copyright complaints under applicable local laws and other relevant international legal frameworks where appropriate.

Users and advertisers are responsible for ensuring that content they upload, publish, or otherwise submit does not infringe the intellectual property rights of another person or organization.
