DMCA & Copyright Policy

Stashcord respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects users of the Service to do the same. We respond to clear notices of alleged copyright infringement that comply with the U.S. Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512) and equivalent processes in other jurisdictions.

We will, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, terminate accounts of users who are repeat infringers.

Send notices of claimed infringement to our designated agent:

• Name / role: {DMCA AGENT NAME / TITLE}
• Email: {DMCA EMAIL}
• Mailing address: {REGISTERED ADDRESS}

Only notices of copyright infringement should be sent to this contact. Other inquiries will not receive a response from this channel — for general support, write to {CONTACT EMAIL}.

To be effective under the DMCA, your written notice must include all of the following:

• A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.
• Identification of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed (or, for multiple works at a single site, a representative list of them).
• Identification of the material on Stashcord you claim is infringing, with enough detail for us to locate it (URLs or permalinks are best).
• Your contact information — address, telephone number, and email address.
• A statement that you have a good-faith belief that use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, its agent, or the law.
• A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in your notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.

Notices that do not substantially comply with these requirements may not be effective and may delay our response.

When we receive a compliant DMCA notice, we will:

• Remove or disable access to the material identified in the notice.
• Notify the user who provided the material that we have done so, and provide them with a copy of your notice (we may redact your personal contact details where appropriate).
• Apply a strike to the user’s account for purposes of our repeat-infringer policy.

If you believe your material was removed in error or as a result of misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice to our designated agent. A counter-notice must include:

• Your physical or electronic signature.
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and its location before removal.
• A 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.
• Your name, address, and telephone number, plus a statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if outside the United States, that you consent to a court in the district in which Stashcord is located), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original notice or their agent.

If we receive a valid counter-notice, we may restore the removed material in 10–14 business days unless the original complainant notifies us that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the user.

We will, in appropriate circumstances, suspend or terminate the accounts of users we determine to be repeat infringers. We may also remove content, restrict features, or limit account access where warranted.

Under 17 U.S.C. § 512(f), anyone who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing, or that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, may be liable for damages. Do not submit a notice or counter-notice unless you have a good-faith belief in its accuracy.

If you are reporting infringement under a non-U.S. regime (e.g. the EU Copyright Directive), please send the same information described above and identify the legal basis for your claim. We will evaluate notices under the applicable law of your jurisdiction where required.

We may update this policy from time to time. The “Last updated” date above reflects the most recent revision.
