This The ASMR Index Copyright Policy is a part of The ASMR Index’s Terms of Service and sets forth the process by which copyright holders and their agents may remove allegedly infringing materials available on one of The ASMR Index’s online services.
The ASMR Index respects the intellectual property of others and expects its users to do the same. Each user must ensure that the materials they upload do not infringe any third-party copyright. The ASMR Index will promptly remove materials in accordance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”) when properly notified that the materials infringe a third party's copyright. The ASMR Index will also, in appropriate circumstances, terminate the accounts of repeat copyright infringers.
In filing any request, please ensure that your notice is complete and that your statements are accurate. If we request additional information necessary to make your notice complete, please provide that information promptly. If you fail to provide the required information, your request may not be processed further.
To request the removal of materials based upon copyright infringement, you must file a notice containing the following:
You may file your notice:
The ASMR Index may disclose notices with affected users and third-party databases that collect information about copyright takedown notices.
If you are a The ASMR Index user who wishes to challenge the removal of materials caused by a DMCA takedown notice, you must file a counter-notification containing the following:
You may submit this notice:
The ASMR Index will forward any complete counter-notification to the person who filed the original DMCA notice. The copyright owner(s) may elect to file a lawsuit against you for copyright infringement. If we do not receive notice that such a lawsuit has been filed within ten (10) business days after we provide notice of your counter-notification, we may restore the challenged materials. Until that time, your materials will remain removed.
The ASMR Index will terminate user accounts that receive three (3) DMCA strikes. A “DMCA strike” accrues each time that material is removed from a user’s account due to a DMCA notice. We may group multiple DMCA notices received within a short period of time as a single DMCA strike.
We may remove a DMCA strike in appropriate circumstances, such as where (1) the underlying material is ultimately restored due to a DMCA counter-notification; or (2) the claimant withdraws the underlying notice.
We may terminate user accounts that receive fewer than three (3) DMCA strikes in appropriate circumstances, such as where the user has a history of violating or willfully disregarding our Terms of Service.
