DMCA Policy

Overview

Hidden Temple respects the intellectual property rights of others and complies with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 (the “DMCA”), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. If you believe that material posted on hiddentemplecollectibles.com infringes your copyright, you may submit a takedown notice using the procedure below. If material you uploaded was removed and you believe the removal was in error, you may submit a counter-notice.

Designated Agent

The following Designated Agent has been appointed by Hidden Temple to receive notifications of claimed infringement, as required by the DMCA:

Hidden Temple has registered the Designated Agent above with the U.S. Copyright Office in accordance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(2). DMCA notices may be sent directly to the agent by email or through our contact page.

How to file a takedown notice

To file a valid DMCA takedown notice, send a message through our contact page with “DMCA Takedown Notice” in the subject and include all of the following:

1. A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner, or a person authorized to act on the owner’s behalf.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work that you claim has been infringed (a description, a registration number if any, or a representative list if the claim covers multiple works on the Site).
3. Identification of the material on Hidden Temple that you claim is infringing, including the full URL or URLs where the material is located. A screenshot is helpful but not sufficient on its own.
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you have a good-faith belief that the use of the material in the manner complained of is not authorized by the copyright owner, the owner’s agent, or the law.
6. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notice is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the owner.

How we respond

When we receive a valid DMCA takedown notice, we will:

• review the notice for substantial compliance with 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3);
• act expeditiously to remove or disable access to material identified in a compliant notice;
• take reasonable steps to notify the user who posted the material that access has been removed or disabled;
• provide the user with information reasonably needed to understand the claim and use the counter-notice process; and
• retain records reasonably needed to administer the claim, resolve disputes, maintain security, and meet legal obligations.

If a notice identifies the copyrighted work, the challenged material, and a way to contact the sender but is missing other required information, we may contact the sender or take other reasonable steps to obtain the missing information. We may be unable to act on a notice that does not substantially comply with the statutory requirements or does not identify material we can locate.

How to file a counter-notice

If material you posted was removed in response to a DMCA notice and you believe the removal was in error or due to misidentification, you may submit a counter-notice through our contact page with “DMCA Counter-Notice” in the subject that includes all of the following:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed and the URL where it appeared before removal.
3. A statement, under penalty of perjury, that you have a good-faith belief that the material was removed or disabled as a result of mistake or misidentification.
4. Your full legal name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.
5. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or, if your address is outside the United States, the judicial district in which Hidden Temple may be found) and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice, or from that person’s agent.

Upon receipt of a compliant counter-notice, we will promptly forward a copy to the original complainant. We may restore the disputed material not less than ten (10) and not more than fourteen (14) business days after receiving the counter-notice unless our Designated Agent first receives notice that the complainant filed a court action seeking to restrain the contested use, consistent with 17 U.S.C. § 512(g)(2).

Repeat infringers

Hidden Temple maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers, as required by 17 U.S.C. § 512(i)(1)(A). Account holders who receive multiple valid DMCA takedown notices, or whose conduct otherwise demonstrates a pattern of infringing behavior, may have their contribution privileges suspended or their accounts terminated.

False notices

Relationship to other policies
