DMCA Takedown Procedure

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been used in a way that constitutes copyright infringement, you may submit a DMCA takedown notice to us. We will process valid takedown notices in accordance with the DMCA and take appropriate action to address the alleged infringement.

To be effective, your DMCA takedown notice must include the following information:

Required Information for DMCA Takedown Notice:

  1. Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed, including sufficient detail to allow us to locate the material.
  2. Identification of the infringing material: A description of where the allegedly infringing material is located on our website, including specific URLs or other identifying information.
  3. Contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address where we can contact you.
  4. Good faith statement: 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.
  5. Accuracy statement: A statement that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
  6. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Please note that making false claims of copyright infringement may result in liability for damages, including costs and attorney's fees. We recommend consulting with an attorney before submitting a DMCA takedown notice to ensure that your claim is valid and properly supported.

Response to Takedown Notices

Upon receipt of a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will take the following actions in accordance with the DMCA:

Our Response Procedure:

  1. Initial Review: We will review the takedown notice to ensure it contains all required information and appears to be valid.
  2. Content Removal: If the notice is valid, we will promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing material.
  3. User Notification: We will notify the user who posted the content about the takedown notice and the removal of their content.
  4. Counter-Notice Process: The user may submit a counter-notice if they believe the material was removed in error.
  5. Restoration Process: If a valid counter-notice is received, we will restore the material after the required waiting period, unless the copyright owner files a court action.

We typically respond to DMCA takedown notices within 24-48 hours of receipt. However, response times may vary depending on the complexity of the case and the volume of notices received. We are committed to processing all valid notices as quickly as possible while ensuring that we follow proper legal procedures.

Counter-Notice Procedure

If you believe that your content was removed in error, you may submit a DMCA counter-notice. A counter-notice is a legal document that disputes the original takedown notice and requests that the removed content be restored.

To be effective, your counter-notice must include the following information:

Required Information for Counter-Notice:

  1. Identification of removed material: A description of the material that was removed and where it was located before removal.
  2. Good faith statement: A statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good faith belief that the material was removed as a result of mistake or misidentification.
  3. Consent to jurisdiction: A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located.
  4. Contact information: Your name, address, telephone number, and email address.
  5. Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we will forward it to the original complainant. The material will be restored after 10 business days unless the original complainant files a court action seeking a court order to restrain the user from engaging in infringing activity.

Repeat Infringer Policy

CGPA Calculator maintains a policy of terminating the accounts of users who are repeat infringers of copyright. We take copyright infringement seriously and will take appropriate action against users who repeatedly violate copyright laws.

Our repeat infringer policy includes the following measures:

Measures Against Repeat Infringers:

  • Warning notices for first-time infringements
  • Temporary suspension of accounts for repeated violations
  • Permanent termination of accounts for persistent infringement
  • Blocking of IP addresses for severe or repeated violations
  • Cooperation with law enforcement for criminal copyright infringement

We maintain records of all DMCA takedown notices and counter-notices to identify repeat infringers. Users who receive multiple valid takedown notices may have their accounts terminated in accordance with our repeat infringer policy.
