DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Introduction

SessionPool ("we," "us," or "our") respects the intellectual property rights of others and expects our users to do the same. In accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act of 1998 ("DMCA"), we will respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using our Service.

2. DMCA Notice Requirements

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been copied in a way that constitutes copyright infringement and is accessible on our Service, please notify our designated copyright agent. For your complaint to be valid under the DMCA, you must provide the following information in writing:

1. A physical or electronic signature of a person authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.
2. Identification of the copyrighted work claimed to have been infringed, or, if multiple copyrighted works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of such works.
3. Identification of the material that is claimed to be infringing or to be the subject of infringing activity and that is to be removed or access to which is to be disabled, and information reasonably sufficient to permit us to locate the material (e.g., URL or specific description).
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit us to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and, if available, an email address.
5. 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.
6. A statement that the information in the notification is accurate, and under penalty of perjury, that you are authorized to act on behalf of the owner of an exclusive right that is allegedly infringed.

3. Submitting a DMCA Notice

Please submit your DMCA notice through our Contact Page with the subject line "DMCA Takedown Request" and include all required information listed above.

WARNING: Under Section 512(f) of the DMCA, any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material or activity is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including costs and attorneys' fees.

4. Counter-Notification

If you believe that your content was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification, you may submit a counter-notification. Your counter-notification must include:

1. Your physical or electronic signature.
2. Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location at which the material appeared before it was removed or disabled.
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 name, address, telephone number, and 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 of the United States, any judicial district in which we may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original DMCA notification or an agent of such person.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the original complainant. If the original complainant does not notify us within 10-14 business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order, we may restore the removed material.

5. Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, we have adopted a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances and at our sole discretion, users who are deemed to be repeat infringers. We may also, at our sole discretion, limit access to the Service and/or terminate the accounts of any users who infringe any intellectual property rights of others, whether or not there is any repeat infringement.

6. No Liability for User Content

SESSIONPOOL IS A PLATFORM FOR USER-GENERATED CONTENT AND DOES NOT PRE-SCREEN, MONITOR, OR APPROVE USER CONTENT BEFORE IT IS POSTED. WE ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY USER CONTENT AND DISCLAIM ALL LIABILITY FOR ANY INFRINGEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ARISING FROM USER CONTENT.

We act in good faith to remove or disable access to infringing material upon receiving valid DMCA notices. Our compliance with the DMCA safe harbor provisions does not constitute an admission of liability or wrongdoing.

WE SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY CONTENT REMOVAL OR DISABLING OF ACCESS BASED ON DMCA NOTICES, WHETHER OR NOT SUCH CONTENT IS ULTIMATELY DETERMINED TO BE INFRINGING. WE RESERVE THE RIGHT TO REMOVE OR DISABLE ACCESS TO ANY CONTENT AT ANY TIME FOR ANY REASON WITHOUT LIABILITY.

7. Indemnification for DMCA Notices

BY SUBMITTING A DMCA NOTICE OR COUNTER-NOTIFICATION, YOU AGREE TO INDEMNIFY, DEFEND, AND HOLD HARMLESS SESSIONPOOL, ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS FROM ANY AND ALL CLAIMS, DAMAGES, LOSSES, COSTS, AND EXPENSES (INCLUDING REASONABLE ATTORNEYS' FEES) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO YOUR NOTICE OR COUNTER-NOTIFICATION, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY CLAIMS THAT YOUR NOTICE OR COUNTER-NOTIFICATION WAS FALSE, MISLEADING, OR SUBMITTED IN BAD FAITH.

8. Reservation of Rights

We reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to:

• Refuse to process incomplete or deficient DMCA notices
• Remove or restore content regardless of any DMCA process
• Terminate the accounts of users who we believe to be infringers, in our sole judgment
• Take any other action we deem appropriate in response to alleged infringement

Nothing in this policy creates any obligation on our part to take any particular action in response to any DMCA notice or counter-notification.

9. Trademark

If you believe that any content on the Service infringes your trademark rights, please contact us through our Contact Page. Note that trademark complaints are not governed by the DMCA, but we will review and address valid trademark concerns.
