At Ranksper, we respect the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. We take copyright infringement seriously and are committed to following the rules set out by the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).
This policy outlines how we handle copyright concerns and what to do if you believe your work has been used on our platform without permission.
What is the DMCA?
The Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) is a U.S. law designed to protect the rights of copyright holders. It provides a process for copyright owners to request the removal of infringing content from websites.
We’re here to ensure that your intellectual property is respected and that our platform remains a safe space for creators and users alike.
Filing a DMCA Takedown Notice
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been posted on Ranksper without your permission, you can file a DMCA takedown notice. Here’s how:
- Identify the Infringing Content: Provide a detailed description of the copyrighted work that you believe has been infringed, along with the specific location (URL) of the infringing content on our platform.
- Your Contact Information: Include your name, address, telephone number, and email address so we can reach you if we need more information.
- A Statement of Good Faith: Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the use of the material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
- Your Signature: Provide a physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is acceptable if sending electronically).
Send your DMCA takedown notice to our designated copyright agent at contact@ranksper.com.
What Happens Next?
Once we receive your DMCA notice, we’ll take the following steps:
- Review and Action: We’ll review your notice and take appropriate action, which may include removing or disabling access to the infringing content. We aim to address all DMCA notices promptly and fairly.
- Notification to User: If content is removed, we’ll notify the user who posted it and provide them with information about the DMCA process.
- Counter-Notice: If the user believes the content was removed in error, they may submit a counter-notice. We’ll review any counter-notices we receive and may restore the content if appropriate.
Filing a Counter-Notice
If you believe your content was wrongfully removed due to a DMCA notice, you can file a counter-notice. Here’s what to include:
- Identify the Content: Specify the content that was removed and where it appeared before it was removed.
- Your Contact Information: Provide your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
- A Statement of Good Faith: Include a statement that you have a good faith belief that the content was removed or disabled due to a mistake or misidentification.
- Consent to Jurisdiction: Agree to the jurisdiction of the federal court in your district and accept service of process from the person who filed the original DMCA notice.
- Your Signature: Provide a physical or electronic signature (typing your full name is acceptable if sending electronically).
Send your counter-notice to our designated copyright agent at contact@ranksper.com.
Repeat Infringements
We respect the rights of all users, but repeat infringement of copyrights can lead to account termination. If a user repeatedly posts infringing content, we may take additional steps, including suspending or terminating their account.
