A. Reporting Intellectual Property Infringement

Symcomtee, acting in good faith, will remove or restrict access to any content (“Content”) deemed infringing upon receiving a properly formatted notification. Repeat offenders will have their accounts permanently suspended.

  • Identification of the copyrighted work or other intellectual property being infringed, including any registration numbers if available.
  • A clear identification of the infringing content, including:
    a) A description of how the content infringes on your rights.
    b) The specific location of the content on syncomtee to help us verify the claim.
  • Your full contact information: name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the disputed content is not authorized by the rights owner, their representative, or the law.
  • A statement, also under penalty of perjury, confirming the accuracy of your notice and that you are the rightful owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

B. Actions Taken Upon Receipt of a Valid Notice

Upon receiving a valid complaint, Symcomtee will promptly remove or disable access to the reported content and notify the user responsible. Users who repeatedly violate intellectual property policies will have their access to Symcomtee terminated.

C. Counter-Notice Procedure

If a user believes that their content was removed in error or due to misidentification, they may submit a counter-notice containing:

  • Identification of the content that was removed or restricted and its prior location on syncomtee.
  • A statement, under penalty of perjury, asserting a good faith belief that the content was mistakenly removed or misidentified.
  • Full contact details, including name, mailing address, phone number, and email address.
  • A declaration consenting to the jurisdiction of the Federal Court for the judicial district of their provided address, or, if outside the United States, where Symcomtee is located.
  • Their electronic or physical signature.

Upon receiving a counter-notice, Symcomtee may share it with the original complainant and inform them that the removed content may be reinstated within 10 business days. If the complainant does not pursue legal action within 10 to 14 business days, the content may be restored at Symcomtee’s discretion.

Note: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, knowingly submitting a false claim of infringement may result in legal liability.
