1. Scope

This policy applies to claims of copyright infringement involving content on the Wehoz Service. Wehoz respects the intellectual property of others and asks our users and sellers to do the same.

2. Designated agent

Our designated agent for receiving notifications of claimed infringement under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) is:

• Email: dmca@wehoz.com
• Postal: Wehoz, Inc., Attn: DMCA Agent, [address to be finalized at incorporation]

3. Requirements for a valid notice

To be effective, a DMCA notice must include all of the following (17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3)):

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or someone authorized to act on their behalf
2. Identification of the copyrighted work allegedly infringed (e.g., a registration number, URL of the original work, or a clear description)
3. Identification of the allegedly infringing material and information reasonably sufficient to allow us to locate it (e.g., the URL of the page or image on Wehoz)
4. Your contact information — full legal name, address, telephone, and email
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the disputed use is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of the right alleged to be infringed

Incomplete notices may be returned without action.

4. What we do with a valid notice

When we receive a valid DMCA notice, we will:

• Acknowledge receipt within 2 business days
• Remove or disable access to the identified material expeditiously
• Notify the user or seller who posted the material, and provide them with a copy of the notice
• Maintain records of all notices we receive

5. Counter-notice procedure

If you believe your content was removed in error, you may submit a counter-notice to dmca@wehoz.com. A valid counter-notice must include (17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(3)):

1. Your physical or electronic signature
2. Identification of the material removed and the location where it appeared before removal
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed by mistake or misidentification
4. Your name, address, and telephone number
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court in the district where you live (or the District of Delaware if outside the US), and that you will accept service of process from the original notifier

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notice, we forward it to the original notifier. If the notifier doesn't file a lawsuit within 10–14 business days, we may restore the removed material.

6. Repeat-infringer policy

Wehoz maintains a policy to terminate, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users or sellers who are repeat infringers of copyright.

7. Bad-faith claims

Sending a knowingly false DMCA notice or counter-notice can result in liability for damages under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), including attorneys' fees. Don't submit a notice unless you genuinely believe the use is infringing.

8. Trademark and other IP

This policy covers copyright. For trademark or other intellectual-property concerns, email legal@wehoz.com with a clear description of the issue and we'll route it appropriately.

9. Updates

When this policy changes, the Effective date above will reflect the current revision.
