DMCA Copyright Policy

Section 1

Introduction & Safe Harbor

KareerKomet 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), Title 17 of the United States Code, Section 512, we respond expeditiously to claims of copyright infringement committed using the KareerKomet Platform.

KareerKomet qualifies as a “service provider” under Section 512(k)(1)(B) of the DMCA. We have registered a Designated Agent with the U.S. Copyright Office and have implemented the procedures described in this Policy to maintain safe harbor protection from liability for copyright infringement by our users. This Policy explains how copyright owners can submit notices of alleged infringement, how users can submit counter-notifications, and how KareerKomet handles these processes.

Note: This Policy applies only to copyright infringement claims. Claims involving other types of intellectual property (trademarks, patents) or other legal issues should be directed to legal@kareerkomet.com.

Section 2

Designated Copyright Agent

KareerKomet has designated the following agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement in accordance with DMCA Section 512(c)(2):

Designated Agent: Matthew McCauley
Company: KareerKomet, LLC.
Email: dmca@kareerkomet.com
Subject line: DMCA Takedown Notice

Our Designated Agent is registered with the U.S. Copyright Office. Only DMCA takedown notices and counter-notifications should be sent to this agent.

Section 3

Reporting Copyright Infringement

If you believe that content on the KareerKomet Platform infringes a copyright you own or control, you may submit a written notification to our Designated Agent. To be effective under DMCA Section 512(c)(3), your notification must include all of the following elements:

Identification of the copyrighted work: A description of the copyrighted work you claim has been infringed, or if multiple works are covered by a single notification, a representative list of those works.
Identification of the infringing material: A description of the material you claim is infringing and information reasonably sufficient to permit KareerKomet to locate the material on the Platform, such as the URL of the page where the material appears.
Contact information: Your address, telephone number, and email address.
Good faith statement: 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.
Accuracy statement: A statement, made under penalty of perjury, that the information in the notification is accurate and that you are the copyright owner or are authorized to act on behalf of the copyright owner.
Signature: A physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or a person authorized to act on their behalf.

Notifications that do not substantially comply with all of these requirements may not receive a response. Please be aware that under DMCA Section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material is infringing may be subject to liability for damages, including attorneys’ fees.

Send completed notifications to: dmca@kareerkomet.com.

Section 4

KareerKomet's Response to Takedown Notices

Upon receiving a complete and valid takedown notice, KareerKomet will:

Promptly remove or disable access to the allegedly infringing content
Notify the user who posted the content that it has been removed
Provide the user with a copy of the takedown notice (with personal contact information of the notifying party redacted where appropriate)
Inform the user of their right to submit a counter-notification

We process valid takedown notices as expeditiously as is reasonably possible. We do not review the merits of copyright ownership claims and are not responsible for making determinations about copyright ownership or fair use.

Section 5

Counter-Notification Procedure

If your content was removed or disabled as a result of a DMCA takedown notice and you believe the removal was a mistake or that the material was misidentified, you may submit a counter-notification. To be effective under DMCA Section 512(g)(3), your counter-notification must include:

Identification of the removed material: A description of the material that was removed and the location where it appeared before removal (e.g., the URL).
Consent to jurisdiction: 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, for any judicial district in which KareerKomet may be found, and that you will accept service of process from the person who submitted the original takedown notice.
Good faith statement: 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 of the material to be removed or disabled.
Contact information: Your name, address, and telephone number.
Signature: Your physical or electronic signature.

Send counter-notifications to our Designated Agent at dmca@kareerkomet.com.

Upon receiving a valid counter-notification, we will forward it to the party who submitted the original takedown notice. If that party does not notify us within 10 to 14 business days that they have filed a court action seeking to restrain the restoration of the content, we will restore the removed material at our discretion.

Please be aware that under DMCA Section 512(f), any person who knowingly materially misrepresents that material was removed or disabled by mistake or misidentification may be subject to liability for damages.

Section 6

Repeat Infringer Policy

In accordance with DMCA Section 512(i), KareerKomet maintains a policy of terminating, in appropriate circumstances, the accounts of users who are determined to be repeat infringers of copyright. KareerKomet may, in its sole discretion, terminate any user’s account if that user has been the subject of multiple valid DMCA takedown notices.

Section 7

KareerKomet reserves the right to modify this DMCA Policy at any time. Changes will be reflected by the “Last updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this Policy periodically.
