DMCA Takedown Policy

1. Introduction to DMCA Compliance

Although Crabz is not based in the United States, we respect the intellectual property rights of copyright holders and voluntarily comply with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA).

This DMCA Takedown Policy provides the legal framework under which we process claims of copyright infringement. By following this process, Crabz qualifies as a Service Provider under 17 U.S.C. § 512(k)(1) and benefits from safe harbor protections against copyright liability.

2. How to File a DMCA Notice (Takedown Request)

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used without authorization on Crabz, you must send a valid DMCA notice to our Designated DMCA Agent with the following information:

  • Your full name, company (if applicable), and contact information (address, phone number, email).
  • A detailed description of the copyrighted work being infringed (or a representative list if multiple works are affected).
  • The exact location (URL) of the infringing material on Crabz.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that:
    • You have a good faith belief that the use of the copyrighted material is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
    • The information provided in your DMCA notice is accurate.
    • You are the copyright owner or an authorized agent acting on behalf of the copyright owner.
  • Your electronic or physical signature.

Where to Send Your DMCA Notice

3. DMCA Counter-Notice (Challenging a Takedown)

If your content was removed due to a DMCA complaint, and you believe it was wrongfully taken down, you may submit a Counter-Notice to Crabz.

Your Counter-Notice must include:

  • Your full name, address, phone number, and email.
  • Identification of the removed content, including its previous URL.
  • A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief the material was removed due to misidentification or error.
  • A statement consenting to the jurisdiction of the courts in which Crabz operates, and agreeing to accept service of process from the original complainant or their agent.
  • Your electronic or physical signature.

Where to Send Your DMCA Counter-Notice

Crabz will review all Counter-Notices and, unless legal action is taken by the original claimant within 10-14 days, may restore the disputed content.

4. Repeat Infringers and Policy Violations

Crabz enforces a strict policy against repeat copyright infringement. If a user repeatedly violates copyright laws, Crabz may:

  • Suspend or terminate the account without prior notice.
  • Permanently ban the user from using Crabz services.
  • Crabz reserves the right to report serious violations to appropriate authorities.

5. Legal Disclaimer

  • Submitting false or fraudulent DMCA notices may result in legal liability under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f).
  • Crabz does not waive any legal rights and will comply fully with all applicable copyright laws.
