Pyaza Copyright Policy

Effective Date: October 14, 2024

At Pyaza, we are committed to respecting the intellectual property rights of others and expect our users to do the same. This Copyright Policy explains how to report claims of copyright infringement, the steps Pyaza may take in response to such reports, and how to file a counter-notice if you believe content has been wrongfully removed due to a copyright claim.

Our User Agreement requires that information posted by users be accurate, lawful, and not violate the intellectual property rights of third parties. To promote a safe environment for creators and protect intellectual property, we provide a process for submitting complaints regarding content posted on our platform.

Complaints Regarding Copyright Infringement

If you believe that your copyrighted work has been posted on Pyaza without permission, you may submit a copyright infringement notice to us in compliance with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) or similar laws that apply in your jurisdiction.

Please note that before filing a notice, you should ensure that your complaint is legitimate. Filing a false claim can result in liability under applicable laws. You may want to consult legal counsel if you’re unsure about your rights or how to file a notice.

Counter-Notice Procedures

Your Counter-Notice must include the following information:

  1. Your contact information, including your full name, mailing address, telephone number, and email address.

  2. Identification of the content that was removed or to which access was disabled, including where the content appeared before it was removed or disabled (e.g., a URL).

  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 a mistake or misidentification.

  4. A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the courts:

    • In the United States, the federal district court where your address is located, or if you reside outside the United States, the courts of the Northern District of California.

    • You must also agree to accept service of process from the person who filed the original notice of copyright infringement.

  5. Your electronic or physical signature.

Please submit your Counter-Notice to Pyaza’s Copyright Agent at the following contact details:

By Email: [email protected]By Mail:Pyaza LtdAttn: Copyright Agent29, San Gwann Street, Gharghur, Malta

Upon receipt of a valid Counter-Notice, Pyaza may restore the removed content unless the party that filed the original copyright complaint initiates a legal action seeking a court order to prevent you from engaging in the infringing activity.

Repeat Infringers

In accordance with the DMCA and other applicable laws, Pyaza reserves the right to terminate the accounts of users who are repeat infringers or who are repeatedly found to post content that violates intellectual property rights. We will assess the severity of the violations and determine appropriate actions, including content removal or account suspension.

Claims Regarding Other Intellectual Property Infringements

For issues involving intellectual property rights other than copyright (e.g., trademark or patent issues), please contact us at [email protected]

Accuracy and Good Faith

All notices and counter-notices regarding copyright claims must be submitted in good faith and under penalty of perjury. Submitting false claims or misrepresentations in copyright disputes may result in legal liability, including damages, costs, and attorneys' fees under applicable law.
