DMCA Policy
DotShift is committed to protecting intellectual property rights and complying with the Digital Millennium Copyright Act ("DMCA"). This policy outlines our procedures for addressing copyright infringement and our stance on DMCA-ignored hosting.
DMCA-Ignored Hosting Locations
DotShift offers hosting services in jurisdictions that may not recognize or enforce DMCA takedown notices. However, this does not give clients the right to host illegal, malicious, or harmful content. We reserve the right to investigate any abuse and act accordingly.
Takedown Request Procedure
If you believe that your copyrighted work has been infringed upon, please submit a formal DMCA takedown notice to us. Notices must comply with Section 512 of the DMCA. We will review each claim and take appropriate action within the required timeframe.
Prohibited Content
DotShift prohibits the hosting of content that violates any law or causes harm. This includes, but is not limited to:
- Child sexual abuse material (CSAM)
- Phishing, fraud, and identity theft
- Malware or malicious scripts
- Illegal streaming or pirated content
- Hate speech, incitement to violence, or terrorism
Hosting such content will lead to immediate suspension and may result in permanent account termination.
DMCA Takedown Notice Requirements
If you are submitting a DMCA takedown notice, include the following:
- Your full legal name and contact details
- Identification of the copyrighted work
- URL(s) of the allegedly infringing content
- A statement under penalty of perjury that the information is accurate
- Your physical or electronic signature
All takedown notices should be sent to [email protected].
Client Responsibility
Clients are solely responsible for the content they host. DotShift does not actively monitor client content but reserves the right to investigate upon receiving valid abuse reports. Misuse of our platform for hosting unlawful or infringing content may lead to immediate service suspension or termination.
False Claims & Abuse of Policy
Filing a false DMCA notice is a legal offense. Individuals or entities abusing this process may be subject to legal consequences under Section 512(f) of the DMCA and will be permanently banned from using our services.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless DotShift, its employees, agents, and partners from and against any claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses arising out of your violation of this DMCA Policy or misuse of our services.
