DMCA & Copyright Policy

1. Commitment to Copyright Protection

Vaultsink AI (“Vaultsink”) respects the intellectual property rights of creators, rights-holders, and artists. We expect all users of our website creation and hosting platform to do the same.

Vaultsink qualifies as an online service provider under Title II of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”), codified at 17 U.S.C. § 512. In accordance with the DMCA, we have designated an agent to receive notifications of claimed copyright infringement and have implemented a formal notice-and-takedown procedure and repeat infringer termination policy.

2. Designated DMCA Agent Contact

Please direct all notices of claimed copyright infringement to our Designated Copyright Agent:

3. Notice of Claimed Infringement Requirements

To be effective under 17 U.S.C. § 512(c)(3), a notification of claimed infringement must be a written communication provided to our Designated Agent that includes substantially the following six (6) items:

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 works at a single site 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, including the exact URL(s) on the Vaultsink subdomain or custom domain.
4. Information reasonably sufficient to permit Vaultsink to contact you, such as an address, telephone number, and 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.

Please note that 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 court costs and attorney's fees.

4. Repeat Infringer Termination Policy

In accordance with Section 512(i)(1)(A) of the DMCA, Vaultsink has adopted and implemented a strict policy that provides for the immediate suspension or termination, in appropriate circumstances, of account holders and subscribers who are repeat copyright infringers.

A “repeat infringer” is defined as any user who has uploaded or hosted content on our platform and for whom Vaultsink has received more than one (1) valid, non-rebutted DMCA takedown notice, or whose content has been adjudicated as infringing by a court of law. Vaultsink reserves the right to terminate any account on the basis of a single, egregious copyright violation.

5. DMCA Counter-Notification Procedure

If your website or content has been taken down as a result of a DMCA notice and you believe that your material was removed by mistake or misidentification (for example, if you hold a valid license or believe your use constitutes fair use), you may submit a written Counter-Notification to our Designated Agent at abuse@vaultsink.dev containing:

• Your physical or electronic signature;
• Identification of the material that has been removed or to which access has been disabled and the location (URL) at which the material appeared before removal;
• 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;
• Your name, address, and telephone number;
• A statement that you consent to the jurisdiction of the Federal District Court for the judicial district in which your address is located (or Delaware if outside the US), and that you will accept service of process from the person who provided the original takedown notice.

Upon receipt of a valid counter-notification, Vaultsink will forward a copy to the original complaining party. If the complaining party does not notify us within ten (10) to fourteen (14) business days that they have filed an action seeking a court order to restrain the infringing activity, Vaultsink may restore the removed material or access.

6. Trademark & Other Abuse Reports

For trademark infringement notices, phishing, scams, or other violations of our Acceptable Use Policy, please contact abuse@vaultsink.dev with details of the registered mark or violation and offending URL. Our security team acts swiftly to shut down abusive deployments.
