DMCA Notice & Takedown Policy

1) Our Designated DMCA Agent

To report alleged infringement on RRRBuddy.com, send a notice to our designated agent:

We maintain a designated agent on our website and with the U.S. Copyright Office. Service providers must register and keep agent details current, and renew the designation at least every three years. (U.S. Copyright Office,e‑CFR)

2) How to Send a DMCA Takedown Notice

For your notice to be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), it mustinclude all of the following:

1. Signature (physical or electronic) of the copyright owner or authorized agent.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to be infringed (or a representative list).
3. Identification of the material claimed to be infringing and the location (URL)of that material on our service so we can find it.
4. Your contact information (address, telephone, and if available, email).
5. Good‑faith statement that use of the material is not authorized by the owner, its agent, or the law.
6. Accuracy statement under penalty of perjury that you are authorized to act for the owner. (US Code)

Important: Courts have held that copyright holders must consider fair use in good faith before sending a takedown notice; failure to do so can create liability under § 512(f). (Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals,US Code)

Where to send: Email to dmcanotice@rrrbuddy.com (preferred, plain text) or mail to the agent address above. We may reject incomplete or illegible notices.

3) What Happens After We Receive a Valid Notice

• We expeditiously remove or disable access to the identified material.
• We notify the user who posted the material.
• If the material resides at a user’s direction, we will forward any counter‑noticewe receive to the complaining party and follow the 10–14 business day restoration timeline described below. (US Code)

4) How to Send a Counter‑Notification (if your content was removed)

If you believe the material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, send a counter‑notice to the DMCA agent containing:

1. Your signature (physical or electronic).
2. Identification of the material removed or disabled and the location (URL)before it was removed.
3. Statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good‑faith belief the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your name, address, and telephone number, and a statement that you consent to the jurisdictionof the U.S. Federal District Court for your address (or any district where we may be found if outside the U.S.), and that you will accept service of process from the original complainant or its agent. (US Code)

Restoration timeline: If we receive a valid counter‑notice, we will forward it to the complainant. We will restore the material not less than 10 and not more than 14 business days after forwarding, unless we receive notice that the complainant has filed an action seeking a court order to restrain you. (US Code)

5) Repeat‑Infringer Policy & Standard Technical Measures

To qualify for safe harbor protections, RRRBuddy.com has adopted and reasonably implements a policy that terminates, in appropriate circumstances, users who are repeat infringers, and accommodates standard technical measures used by copyright owners to identify/protect works. (US Code)

• We track substantiated notices against user accounts.
• We may suspend or terminate accounts based on the number and nature of infringements, our good‑faith judgment, and applicable law.
• We do not interfere with standard technical measures as defined in § 512(i). (Note: the Copyright Office has observed that few measures have been formally recognized as “standard technical measures”.) (US Code,U.S. Copyright Office)

6) Misrepresentation Warning (17 U.S.C. § 512(f))

Any person who knowingly and materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing, or that material was removed by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages, including costs and attorneys’ fees, incurred by the alleged infringer, by any copyright owner or licensee, or by a service provider. (US Code)

7) Subpoenas to Identify Alleged Infringers

Under § 512(h), copyright owners may seek a subpoena to identify an alleged infringer. If properly served, we will comply as required by law. (US Code)

8) Scope & Third‑Party Services

This policy applies only to content hosted on RRRBuddy.com. If the content appears on another site or service, please contact that provider or the relevant hosting platform.

9) Designated Agent Registration (for your records)

RRRBuddy.com has registered its DMCA agent using the U.S. Copyright Office online directoryand will renew or update the registration at least every three years to keep information current. (U.S. Copyright Office)
